James1:8

8 A double minded man is unstable in all his ways .

Either, 1. an Hypocrite, who is said to have a double Heart, Psalm 12.2. Or, 2ly. rather he that is of a doubtful Mind, wavering, and fluctuating with contrary Motions, sometimes of one Mind, sometimes of another; sometimes hoping, sometimes desponding.

Either unconstant, without any fixedness, or Consistancy of Spirit; as ready to depart from God, as to cleave to him; or unquiet, troubled, full of inward Tumults.

By an Hebraism, Ways, for Counsels, Purposes, Actions, &c.
