6. Lastly, It is a comely walking; how beautiful are thy feet with shoes, saith Christ of the Church, Ca•t. 7. 1. (Congruous to 1the condition of his place, of Grace;) the walkings of a penitent are beautiful walkings, such as adorn his profession, such as become the Gospel of Christ, such as set out the truth of Grace, which he hath received, and the hope of glory which he expects, like so many Stars which are the glory of heaven: so are his particular actions enamelled with that Ornament of Meekness, with that Crown of Wisdom, with that Tenderness of Circumspection, with that Sweetness of Charity, with that Gracefulness of Piety, that no only the mouths of some are stopped, but likewise the mouths of others are opened, by beholding the uniform light of his new Conversation, to glorify our father which is in heaven.
