HYPOCRISY.--Hypocrisy is, of all vices, the most hateful to man; because
it combines the malice of guilt with the meanness of deception. Of
all vices it is the most dangerous; because its whole machinery is
constructed on treachery, through the means of confidence, on compounding
virtue with vice, on making the noblest qualities of our nature minister
to the most profligate purposes of our ruin. It erects a false light
where it declares a beacon, and destroys by the very instrument blazoned
as a security.
Cant resembles a young wife married to an ancient husband: she weds
religion, looking forward to live by his death.
