I answer, an _Hypocrite_ hath many _Lords_, and many _Fathers_, besides, and joyned with their (pretended) heavenly _Father_. Whereas _Gods little ones_ cry out, (_Isa. 63_.) Doubtles thou art our _Father_, though _Abraham_ be ignorant of us, as if they had said: Thou art our only _Father_, above all _Fathers_, &c. [Sidenote: False calling upon God as upon a Father] 2ly. The _Hypocrite_ saies _Lord_, _Lord_, but cares for no more of the _will_ of the _Lord_ then may serve his own _turne_: But a child of _God_ declares his child like _submission_, to an heavenly _Fathers_ will in all things, according to the difference proposed by the _Lord Jesus_, (_Mat: 7_.) Not every one that saith unto me _Lord_, _Lord_, but he that doth the wil of my _Father_ which is in _Heaven_: The difference lies not in the _words_, but in the _Heart_, in the upright _submission_ of a _child_ of _God_, to all that he believes to be the _will_ and _pleasure_ of his heavenly _Father_. [Sidenote: 2 _Argum:_ Gods children long for more and more knowledge of God.] For a second _triall_ therefore: Where _spirituall life is_ (notwithstanding _weaknes_ or _distempers_) there is always a professed _willingnesse_ to get more and more _knowledg_ of this heavenly _Father_, of his _name_, of his _works_, of his _word_, of his _Christ_, of his _Spirit_, his _Saints_, and _Ordinances_. Hence _Beleevers_ in _Jesus_, both _Men_ and _Women_, are called _Disciples_, or _Scholars_ of _Christ Jesus_, professing continually to learn more and more of this heavenly _teacher_. Hence his _Disciples_ or _Scholars_ petition to _Christ Jesus_, _Lord_ teach us to pray: _Lord_ increase our _Faith_, &c. Hence they ask him many _Questions_, and are by little and little instructed, though for a while they were ignorant of the mystery of his _Death_, and _Resurrection_. [Sidenote: _Obj._] But may not an _Hypocrite_ desire to know more and more of _God_, of _Christ_, &c. [Sidenote: _Ans._] I answer, although an _Hypocrite_ out of an itching desire, of _knowledg_, of _novelty_, and out of _self love_, to make use of so much of _God_, and of _Christ_, as may serve his own _ends_, may _desire_, and _attain_, and _professe_, and _preach_ much of _God_ and _Christ_, yet will he pick and choose as _Saul_ did, while _David_ and all _Gods children _uprightly desire to have respect to all the _Commandements_ of _God_ in _Christ Jesus_. [Sidenote: 2] Again, the _obedience_ of _Hypocrites_ is but the task of a _slave_, or _Hireling_, when the obedience of a _child_ of _God_, is that of a dutifull _child_ to his _Father_, or an endeared _Wife_ to her _Husband_, not caused by _terrour_ or _wages_, but hearty _Reverence_ and _Affection_. [Sidenote: _Arg._ 3. Gods children hunger and thirst after Gods Word.]
