A good man may sometimes have evil imaginations, as David had to destroy the whole house of Nabal, but it was the imagination of the man, and he was not a man of such imaginations. He will condemn, &c, The displeasure of God against him is declared by the effect, he will convince him, and find him guilty, that is, pass sentence upon him, and cause execution to be done accordingly. Thus then standeth the opposition: A good man of godly meditations getteth favour of the Lord, who therefore will save him: but an evil man of wicked imaginations, incurreth the displeasure of the Lord, who therefore will condemn him.

Doct. 1 A man can no way be made so happy as by being in Gods favour. If any other thing were better then this, it would here be named: for his purpose is to promise and perform the best. Good men do set their wits on work to find the way whereby they may most please him: and he doth set his wisdom on work to frame a recompense that may best pleasure them.
