Man ashiv le-Yahoweh, or, A serious enquiry for a suitable return for continued life,…

1. Counsel, ^aWicked men consult how they may satisfy their lusts, they deliberate how they may get an opportunity to sin. Thus the malicious man studies revenge, and the Adulterer contrives secrecy, Psal. 36.4. He deviseth mischief upon his bed, and the Devil is near his pillow to be his counsellor.

2. Way, ^bManner of life is set out by way, in Scripture, mens practises are their way, a man that hath a good trade and thrives therein, we say, he is in a good way; and so the profession, and serving of God in such a manner is called a way, Act. 9.2. so that a wicked man maketh sin his profession and trade. Thus the common drunkard by his daily wickedness professeth himself a drunkard, that is his way.
