1. In Simplicity. Prov. 28. 6. 18. Better is the poor that walketh in his Integrity, than he that is perverse in his ways, though rich. The word for ways in both places is Dual, and intimates two ways. An hypocrite is a man with two ways. The one he goes in, the other he seems to go in. The poor upright man hath but one way, and that's better than them both. 2 Cor. 1. 12. For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our Conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our Conversation in the world. When this Apostle was traduced by men, yet this afforded him not only content, but joy, to wit, the testimony of his Conscience. An hypocrite may have quiet in his Conscience, but an upright man hath a Testimony in his Conscience: He carries every where Letters Testimonial in his bosom. And why all this joy? that we have had our conversation in simplicity. As our ends have been single in preaching ⟨p. 53⟩the Gospel, so our Lives have not been double: The drift of our preaching and lives hath been the same: Happy that Preacher that can here subscribe his hand.
