It is no new thing, that much false religion should prevail, at a time of great reviving of true religion; and that at such a time multitudes of hypocrites of spring up among true Saints. It was so in the great reformation, and revival of religion, that was in Josiah’s time… so it was in the great outpouring of the Spirit that was in the apostles’ days… and so it was in the great reformation from Popery. It is by the mixture of counterfeit religion with true, not discerned and distinguished, that the devil has had his greatest advantage against the cause and Kingdom of Christ all along hitherto.
