Expounds on 13 spiritual things that hypocrites cannot do. Includes among these:

• "A hypocrite's inside is never answerable to his outside"

• "No hypocrite under heaven is totally divorced from the love and liking of every known sin, so neither is his heart thoroughly subdued to a willingness to perform all known duties"

• "No hypocrite can live wholly and only upon the righteousness of Christ, the satisfaction of Christ, the merits of Christ, for justification and salvation" (Romanism and the cults being prime examples of institutionalized hypocrisy, RB)

• "No hypocrite ever makes it his business, his work, to bring his heart into religious duties and services"

• "No hypocrite in the world loves the word, or delights in the word, or prizes the word, as it is a holy word, a spiritual word, a beautiful word, a pure word, a clean word"

...and much more.

Basically, as Brooks states, "Some have shewed the several rounds in Jacob's ladder, that an hypocrite may climb up to; but my business and work... is to shew you the several rounds in Jacob's ladder that no hypocrite under heaven can climb up to."
