1. The upright man walks Before God. Gen. 17. 1. Walk before me, and be thou perfect, or upright. And that is whereby the upright man habitually always, and actually as much as in him lies, Sets the Lord always before him; and still thinks, and speaks, and acts, as if he looked on, weighing not only the matter but the manner, and motives of his ways, acquitting himself still to his God, 2 Cor. 2. 17. As of sincerity as of God, in the sight of God speak we in Christ. Happy for ever that Minister, that can call God to record on his soul, that as no errors corrupt his Doctrine, so no base ends corrupt his heart; but that he preaches ⟨p. 44⟩Christs will sincerely, as if the Lord himself looked on.
