The tongue. of the sincere IS rooted In his
heart: hypocrisy and deceit have nc place. N
his words.
He blusheth at fa,sehcod, and IS cQniounded;
but in speaking the truth, he haIh q S'e4o.
He supporteth, as man, the dignity c! MS
character; 70 the arts CT hypocrisy nc scofn-
eth 10 stoop.
He is consistent with himself; he Is never
embarrassed he hath courage enough ior
truth, but to lie he is afraid.
He is far above the meanness OF dlssiniuia.

of his heart.
Yet With prudence and caution De oPeneth
his lips; he s.rdeth what is right, and speak
eth with discretion.
He adv;seth III friendship; he reproveth
with freedom and whatsoever he proiIllscth
shall surely be performed.
But the heart of the hypocr!te Is hid In his
breast; he maskcth his words IN the scmolance
Of truth, while the business of his lite is only
to deceive.
He laugheth in sorrow, he weepeth III JOY
and the words of his mouth have no lnterpre-

He worketh in the dark as a mole, and ianci-
eth he is safe; but he blundereth into light,
and is exposed to full view, with his dirt Oh

He passeth his days in perpetual eonstr&inr;

O fool! fool the pains which thou takest
TO hide what thou art, IRE more than would
make the what thou wouldest seem; the chill
dren of wisdom shall mock at thy cunning,
when, in the midst of security, thy disguise is
stripped of; and the finger OF derision shall
point thee to scorn.
