1. To be universally good. 2. To be eminently good. 3. To be perseveringly good.
11. To be universally good: this is excellent indeed, when a Christian is good all over: good quite through: good within, and good without. When a man or woman is a good First Table Christian: and a good Second Table Christian, holy towards God, righteous, meek, merciful •oward man.
- 11. Universally heart-good, and life-good.
They be excellent ones, that are good in both their callings: good in their general callings as Christians, good in their particular callings as men: good on the Sabbath, and good all the week long. Good as Magistrates, good as Ministers, good in whatsoever Trade or Profession God hath sixth them in amongst men.
