V. An upright man is uniform1 ⟨p. 18⟩in Religion; he looks with an equal eye at all Gods Commands. The Tables were written on both sides, Exo. 32. 15. an upright Christian turns both sides of the Tables; he looks at duties of the second Table as well as duties of the first; he knows all have the same stamp of Divine authority upon them. 'Tis said in the honour of Zechariah and Elizabeth, they walked [Greek or Hebrew] in all the Commandments and Ordinances of the Lord; an upright Christian though he fails in every duty, yet he makes conscience of every duty; he will as well worship God in the closet, as the Temple; he often casts up the accounts between God and conscience. Utitur speculis magis quam perspicillis, he wears his eyes at home, as well as abroad; and had rather use the looking-glass of the Word to look into his own heart, then the broad spectacles of censure to look into the faults of ⟨p. 19⟩others; he walks [Greek or Hebrew], soberly in acts of temperance, [Greek or Hebrew], righteously, in acts of justice, [Greek or Hebrew], godly, in acts of piety*.
