Master Andrew Gray (Works, pp. 55, 56):
There are three great enemies to Christ: misbelief, hypocrisy, and profanity. Misbelief is a bloody sin—hypocrisy is a silent sin—profanity is a crying sin. These are mother evils, and I shall give you these differences betwixt them: misbelief crucifieth Christ under the veil of humility; hypocrisy crucifieth Christ under the veil of love; and profanity putteth him to open shame. Misbelief denieth the love and power of God; hypocrisy denieth the omnisciency of God; and profanity denieth the justice of God. Misbelief is a sin that looketh after inherent righteousness; hypocrisy is a sin that looketh after external holiness only; and profanity is a sin that looketh after heaven without holiness: making connexion between these things that God hath always separated, and separating these things which he hath always put together: so that their faith shall once prove a delusion, and fly away as a dream of the night; but let us study this excellent grace of true and saving faith, which shall be a precious remedy against all those Christ-destroying and soul-destroying evils.
