4. You who are the people of God, should walk with uprightness before the 1Omniscient and Al-sufficient God. This is that which the Lord himself prescribed, when he made a Covenant with Abram, Gen. 17. 1. I am the Almighty God, walk before me and be thou perfect. And David presseth it upon Solomon, 1 Chron. 28. 9. And thou Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy Father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind. So Deut. 18. 13. Thou shalt be perfect with the Lo•d thy God. Beloved! This is a special duty which concerns you who are the people of God; the Lord your God doth insist upon this; and though he bears with you in many things, yet assuredly he expects this from all his people, To be upright, and to walk uprightly.
