2. Before the world a man will be able to hold up his head, that is sincere. It is true, he may be reproached and scoffed at, and suffer disgrace for his strictness; yet he is not ashamed. Though we displease men, yet if we please God, it is enough, if we have his approbation, 1 Cor. 4. 3. [Greek or Hebrew], With me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of mans judgment. To depend on the words of man, is a foolish thing. There is more ground of rejoicing, than of shame. You have the approbation of their consciences, when not of their tongues. In the issue God will vindicate the righteousness of his faithful servants. Psal. 37. 6. He shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noon-day. There will be no cause in the issue for a Christian to repent of his strict observance of Gods commands, Eph. 3. 18.
