Be truly virtuous, and it cannot be but glory will be thy companion; and that in the very consciences of the wicked, though their mouths, it may be, will be-lie their Consciences for to maintain their own ways. So it was with David. 2 Sam. 6: 21.22. When he danced before the Lord, Michal conceited, he laid open himself unto contempt; How glorious was the King this day, &c. He answers: I• was before the Lord that I did it: and if this be to be vile I will be yet more ⟨p. 82⟩vile and even of these Hand-maids I shall be had in honour. Lively faith is called Precious Faith. 2. Pet. 1.6. Hebr. 11.4. By faith Abel offered a more excellent sacrifice than Cain.
