The first great work which men are to attend to in this world—is the eternal safety and security of their souls.

Their next great work is to know, to be assured—that it shall go well with their souls forever.
他们的下一件大事是知道、确信——他们的灵魂将永远安好。

A man may have grace—and yet, for a time, not know it; he may have a saving work of God upon his soul—and yet not discern it; he may have the root of the matter in him—and yet not be able to evidence it.
一个人可能拥有恩典——但在一段时间内并不知道；他可能有上帝在他灵魂上的拯救工作——却未能察觉；他可能内心深处有根基——却无法证明。
Many, whose graces are weak and much buried under fears, doubts, strong passions, prevailing corruptions, or diabolic suggestions—are inclined to suspect their weak grace, fearing that on account of the deceitfulness of their hearts they will be found to be insincere before God; but the weakest Christian may turn to the clear and well-bottomed evidences in this treatise, and throw the gauntlet to Satan and bid him prove if he can, that ever any profane person, any self-flatterer, any cunning hypocrite had such evidences, or such fair certificates to show for heaven as he has to show.
许多人的恩典微弱，被恐惧、怀疑、强烈的情感、盛行的败坏或魔鬼的诱惑所掩埋——他们倾向于怀疑自己微弱的恩典，担心由于内心的欺骗性而在上帝面前被认为不诚实；但最软弱的基督徒可以转向本论文中清晰而有根据的证据，向撒但发出挑战，让他如果能的话就证明，是否有任何亵渎者、自我奉承者、狡猾的伪君子曾拥有如此的证据，或如此公正的天国证明可以展示，如同他所能展示的那样。
Several have observed how far a hypocrite may go; but my design in this treatise is to show how far a hypocrite can not go. Some have showed what a hypocrite is, and I shall now show what he is NOT. Some have showed the several rounds in Jacob’s ladder that a hypocrite may climb up to—but my business and work in this treatise is to show you the several rounds in Jacob’s ladder that no hypocrite under heaven can climb up to.
一些人已经观察到伪君子可以走多远；但我在这篇论文中的目的是要展示伪君子不能走多远。一些人已经展示了伪君子是什么，而我现在要展示他不是什么。一些人已经展示了伪君子可以攀登到雅各梯子的几个阶梯——但我在这篇论文中的任务和工作是向你展示雅各梯子上那些天下所有伪君子都无法攀登的几个阶梯。
