Metaphorically a Way is put for a mans conversation or course of life, and this is counted a right way, when it is ordered according to the rule of righteousness which is Gods Word. To this purpose the Psalmist thus prayeth, Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: And thus promiseth, I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart, Ps. 119. 27, 32. This way is called a good way, Jer. 6. 16. and a perfect way, Ps. 101. 2, 6.
