Secondly, The word uprightness, and the showing unto man his uprightness here spoken of,1 takes in the whole duty, yea and the whole privilege and interest of a Godly man, or that which will be his uprightness and set him right both before God and his own conscience. To show unto man this his uprightness, is to show him when he is right, and how he may be settled in a right state; in such a state as will be to him like Mount Zion which cannot be removed. Thus the uprightness of man comprehends the whole business both of faith and repentance, or all that which a sinner is called both to do, and believe, for the repairing and mending of his lost and ruined state, for the putting and settling him in such a state as the Lord may own him as his, and be gracious to him. This, whatsoever it is, is mans uprightness or righteousness, and the showing unto man, this his uprightness is the bringing him word in the name of Christ, that God justifieth him from the guilt of all his sins, and accepteth him into his favour.
