   a dissembler in religion. our lord severely rebuked the scribes
   and pharisees for their hypocrisy matt. 6:2, 5, 16. "the
   hypocrite's hope shall perish" job 8:13. the hebrew word here
   rendered "hypocrite" rather means the "godless" or "profane," as
   it is rendered in jer. 23:11, i.e., polluted with crimes.
   

[5] : THE DEVIL'S DICTIONARY ((C)1911 Released April 15 1993)
hypocrite, n.  one who, profession virtues that he does not respect
secures the advantage of seeming to be what he depises.


                                  i


i is the first letter of the alphabet, the first word of the language,
the first thought of the mind, the first object of affection.  in
grammar it is a pronoun of the first person and singular number.  its
plural is said to be _we_, but how there can be more than one myself
is doubtless clearer the grammarians than it is to the author of this
incomparable dictionary.  conception of two myselfs is difficult, but
fine.  the frank yet graceful use of "i" distinguishes a good writer
from a bad; the latter carries it with the manner of a thief trying to
cloak his loot.
