WE are to deny these for Christ. First, by going on in the ways of godliness in the strictness and power of them, though all these be hazarded; keep we on our way, and pass not for them, trust God with them; if we do still enjoy them, so it is; but if not, yet maintain a constant strong resolution of keeping on in the ways of Gods fear. Thus did Daniel, when the Princes and Nobles watched him, in the matter of the Lord his God, yet he abated not one whit, he went on in his course, notwithstanding all the hazard he was in: the constant course of godliness in communion with his God, was more sweet and precious to him a thousand fold, then all his Court preferments and pleasures that he did, or might further enjoy. How resolutely did ⟨p. 72⟩Nehemiah go on in the work of the Lord, notwithstanding that opposition he had? such conspirings against him, such complaints, such letters sent to inform against him. And David professeth, Psal. 119. 23. That he did meditate in Gods Law, though Princes spake against him.
