Moral. 3. Religious righteousness, with those seven-fold fore-mentioned endowments in a good Magistrate. That they may behave themselves, as GOD would have them, which that they may comfortably, and conscionably do, let them take good counsel, and amongst many other directions, do, as I now advise: Let them 1. Get JESUS CHRIST, 2. Enter into their places purely in GODs name. 3. Be enlightened, directed, and quickened to a thorough, and constant discharge of them, principally by the divine light, and ⟨p. 83⟩heavenly motions of GODs holy truth. 4. Keep ever a clear conscience, both in respect of their personal walking, and right managing all the particulars of their public charge. 5. Have an eye still upon that last, and dreadful Tribunal, at which they must shortly give a strict account for all things done in the flesh.
