Answ. It is the practise of some outward duties of the second Table, joined with either a slight performance, or else negligent omission of the duties of the first Table, that concern God and his worship. From thence we may conceive what the civill man is; namely, such a one as is outwardly just, temperate, chaste, careful to follow his worldly business, will not hurt so much as his neighbours dog, pays every man his own, and lives of his own; no drunkard, adulterer, or quarreller; loves to live peaceably and quietly among his neighbours. For an example of this kind, I take the young man in the Gospel that came to our Saviour with this, All these have I kept. So likewise among the heathen we have famous many examples ⟨p. 214⟩of this kind; of Aristides, Socrates, Alexander.
