So Job walked in white: though his friends blacked him exceedingly, yet he walked in white in his conscience, Job 16. verse 19. Behold my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high; I have not only a witness in my conscience, but my witness is above. He walked in white, notwithstanding all his afflictions from ⟨p. 10⟩God and his friends. Hezekiah walked in this white when Death looked him in the face: Lord, thou knowest I have walked upright with thee.

I need not stay in the proof of the thing, let me make some Use and Improvement of it.
Use. Is this blessed Reward to those who keep their garments white, to walk in the white of peace and joy, then here we see the happiness of all those who are true to Christ and his ways: 119 Psalm, verse 1. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the Law of the Lord. 'Tis just in the language of the Text; they indeed shall walk in white, it is a great part of our blessedness to have peace of conscience, and inward joy. Oh how much better is it, then the peace and joy of this world, and the comforts of this world? 15.
