PSAL. 19. 13. Then shall I be upright, and I shall be innocent from that great transgression.
CHAP. V.
You may remember that heretofore we have handled Davids petitions against sin, 1. In secrecy. 2. In presumption. 3. In dominion. Now we proceed to speak something of the conclusion or inference, which that holy and sweet Psalmist draws from all this [Then shall I be upright and innocent from that great transgression.]

To me it seemeth that Davids special aim, that white or mark which he had in his eye, was this, to be upright, he knew well, that that was it which God looked for, which God most of all prized, and which (for his soul) would prove most necessary and comfortable; and withal he well knew that the allowance of secret sins, or the wallowing in great transgressions, were quite contrary thereto; And therefore he prays earnestly against them, that he might secure and maintain this.
