3. And to lead a Holy or Godly Life: And in this respect, this resolution is called sometimes, a choosing of the way of God, 1sometimes a cleaving to the Lord, sometimes a serving of the Lord, sometimes a Covenant to serve the Lord, and to walk with him, and sometimes a readiness to hear what the Lord will speak; I and my house will serve the Lord. Psal. 119. 106. I have sworn and will, &c. The sum of all is this, Then is it a resolution of the will, when a person attains thus far; This is an evil way, I am heartily purposed never to walk in it more; this is an holy and good way, I am heartily purposed to walk therein for ever; these sins I will follow and serve no longer; but this God shall be my God, his Laws shall be my rule, and guide, and his ways shall be my ways in the which I will walk.
