In all things, live by the Gospel, and look to the Gospel, let that be a light to your feet, and a lantern to your paths; keep the word, and it will keep you in an hour of temptation from sinning, and in an hour of dissolution from sinking. The Lawyer in his doubts consults with his Littleton or Cook; The Physician prescribes by Galen or Hippocrates; the Philosopher takes advice of his Aristotle; but the godly man must always take counsel of the Gospel, Prov. 4.3. ult. Ponder the paths of thy feet, and let all thy ways be established, turn not to the right hand, nor to the left, remove thy feet from evil.
