An upright heart is a heart steadfast with God, steadfast in his Covenant, as it is easy to be gathered, from that which is spoken of the Israelites, Psal. 78.37. Their heart was not right with God, that is, their hearts were not sincere and upright: but how doth that appear? ⟨p. 118⟩why the next words tell us, They were not steadfast in his Covenant; had their hearts been sincere and upright, they had been steadfast in his Covenant they would wilfully have broken it, and cast it behind their backs.
An upright heart is a heart stedfast with God, stedfast in his Covenant, as it is easie to be gathered, from that which is spoken of the Israelites, Psal. 78.37. Their heart was not right with God, that is, their hearts were not sincere and upright: but how doth that appeare? ⟨p. 118⟩why the next words tell us, They were not stedfast in his Covenant; had their hearts been sincere and upright, they had been stedfast in his Covenant they would wilfully have broken it, and cast it behind their backs.
