Chapter LXXXVII: Sidenote: Mat. 6:2, 4, 24. Jer. 8:5, 6, 7, 8

"How oft did I Hypocrisy
and Hearts' deceits unmask
Before your sight, giving you light
to know a Christian's task?
But you held fast unto the last
your own conceits so vain,
No warning could prevail; you would
your own Deceits retain.

LXXXVIII.

[Sidenote: Psal. 78:34, 35, 36, 37.]

"As for your care to get a share
in Bliss; the fear of Hell,
And of a part in endless smart,
did thereunto compel.
Your holiness and ways redress,
such as it was, did spring
From no true love to things above,
But from some other thing.
