They love worldly company as well as ever.

And they find the employments, which their profession enjoins upon them, irksome and dry.

Such persons are greatly deceived, yet they are ashamed to confess it, and throw off the mask of profession.

And such persons are often the greatest fault-finders with those, whose true faith inspires them to endure hardness, afflictions and deny themselves and take up their cross, so that they may glorify their Saviour in their bodies and spirits which are the Lord's.
In conclusion, dear brethren, let us, who have made a profession of faith, examine ourselves, whether we be in the faith of the gospel, or not.

"Know ye not your own selves how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates." AMEN.
