The Religion of an hypocrite is like a tiring horse, which may go apace in the morning, and show much metal for ⟨p. 43⟩a while; but the upright man, though more soberly, yet goes more constantly; and in this sense that is most true, Prov. 10. 9. He that walks uprightly, walks surely. You shall find this man with savoury thoughts in his heart at noon, with Ejaculations at his work, and there is a coherence between his duties and his life. In a word, and so I'll end this point, the Upright man hath four Walks towards God, which will set him forth to the life.
