go and cleanse your hearts, mend your lives, leave your sins, ⟨p. 191⟩be plain & upright with me, that is it which I look at more then any thing, that is it which pleaseth me; Hence it is that ofttimes in Scripture, that the Hebrew word [Jashar] which signifies Right, is many times translated [Greek or Hebrew], pleasing, as Numb. 23. 27. perhaps it will seem right in the eyes of the Lord, we translate it, peradventure it will please God: so true is that of Solomon, Prov. 11. 20. Such as are upright in their way, are his delight, yea, and so that phrase of walking with God (which is nothing else but the path of the just or upright) is rendered by the Septuagint pleasing of God; as Gen. 5. 22. 24. holy Enoch walking with God: The seventy renders it, he pleased God.
