For where soever he is, he is the holy Lord; That was the charge which God gave to Abraham; Walk before me, and be upright; As if he had said, Wheresoever thou walkest, walk as having me present with thee, and be upright in my presence. I (saith David, a type of Christ, Psal. 16.8.) have set the Lord always before me, he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. He that by faith eyes God continually as his protector in trouble, shall not be moved with any evil that he suffers, and he that eyes God by faith as his pattern in holiness, shall not be moved from doing that which is good.

I (saith David, a type of Christ, Psal. 16.8.) have set the Lord alwayes before me, he is at my right hand, I shall not be moved. He that by fa•th eyes God continually as his protector in trouble, shall not be moved with any evill that he suffers, and he that eyes God by faith as his patterne in holinesse, shall not be moved from doing that which is good. This thought, The Lord is at our right hand, keepes us from turning eyther to the right hand or to the left. It is said of Enoch, that he walked with God, (
