3. Close walking with God, would put to silence the Adversaries of the Truth, 1 Pet. 2. 15. A loose carriage, puts a Sword ⟨p. 258⟩into wicked mens hands to wound Religion: What a sad thing is it, when it shall be said of Professors, they are as proud, as covetous, as unjust as others: Will not this expose the ways of God to contempt? But holy and close walking, would stop the mouths of sinners, that they should not be able to speak against Gods people, without giving themselves the lye. Satan came to Christ, and found nothing in him, John 14. 30. What a confounding thing will it be to the wicked, when they shall have nothing to fasten as a crime upon the godly, but their holiness, Dan. 6. 5. We shall not find any occasion against this Daniel, unless we find it against him concerning the Law of his God.
