A plain discourse upon uprightness showing the properties and privileges of an upright man…A plain discourse upon uprightness shewing the properties and priviledges of an upright man…

And this sure is the sense of that, Heb. •0. 22. Let us draw near with a true heart. •t is our sin and folly to keep at distance •rom God, both in and out of his service, ⟨p. 10⟩afraid, or loth to come up. It is Gods w• that we should draw near, and nearer ye• and that with a true heart: a true-hearte• man at a Prayer does the work, when m• ny of great appearances do but beat t• Air.

So when we come to men, 1 John 3. 1• Let us not love in word, or in tongue [only but in deed and in truth; having a Princip of unfeigned love in our hearts to ever• body, and thence producing words an• deeds of pure Charity. This is an uprig• man, whose heart within doth not give t• lye to his word and actions. Survey h• duties to God and men, they are pious, ju• and charitable; open his heart, Piety, Rig• teousness, and Love are written there Like him that professed, if he might ha• had the moulding of himself, Light shou• have been his Body, and Truth should ha• been his Soul.
