A10152 The righteous mans way Wherein are given certaine directions, how men may profitably meditate upon the Commandements of God: that so through such manner of meditation, the Lordes Commandements may finde place in mens hearts, to serve in them as guides unto all their actions and thoughts. Directions most needfull for these times, seeing most men laying the commandements of God aside, doe leade their lives in disobedience to Gods commandements; and this, not onely to the scandall of Christian religion, but also to the extreame hazard of their own salvation.

righteousness_n of_o god_n commandment_n manifest_v both_o the_o justice_n of_o god_n and_o also_o his_o love_n unto_o his_o creature_n his_o justice_n because_o as_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o
