A treatise of the incomparableness of God in his being, attributes, works and word…

5. This incomparable God must have incomparable obedience in the whole course of our lives. The more virtuous, or gracious, or honourable, or excellent, the person is with whom we walk, the more we weigh our words, and ponder the paths of our feet, and watch over our selves. God is incomparable in purity, in jealousy, in Majesty, in excellency; therefore they who are ever under his eye, and in his presence, and who walk with him, must walk (not as they do when with ordinary persons, carelessly and negligently, but) circumspectly, accurately, exactly, to an hairs breadth, as on a ridge, [Greek or Hebrew], Eph. 5.15. His law must be kept (to a tittle, in every punctilio) as the apple of the eye, Prov. 7.2. which is offended with the least mote of dust. And this obedience must be not only at some seasons, and in some actions, but always, and in all things. As he ⟨p. 228⟩who hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation, 1 Pet. 1.15.
