5 A godly man is careful about moral righteousness;1 he makes conscience of equity, as well as piety; the Scripture hath linked both together, Luk. 1. 75. That we might serve him in righteousness and true holiness: Holiness, there, is the first Table, Righteousness, there, is the second Table: Though a man may be morally righteous, and not godly, yet no man can be godly, but he must be morally righteous: This moral righteousness is seen in our dealings with men; a good man observes that golden maxim, Mat. 7. 12. Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them. There is a threefold injustice in matters of dealing.
