1. Sincerity renders us lovely in Gods eyes;1 God saith of the sincere soul as of §1Zion, Psal. 132. 14. This is my rest for ever, here will I dwell, for I have desired it: A sincere heart is Gods Paradise of* delight: Noah found grace in Gods eyes: Why, what did God see in Noah? he was girt with the girdle of sincerity, Gen. 6. 9. Noah was perfect in his Generation. Truth resembles God, and when God sees a sincere heart, he sees his own Image, and he cannot choose but fall in love with it, Pro. 11. 20. He that is upright in his way, is Gods delight.
