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.

bond_n because_o so_o long_o as_o your_o passion_n &_o affection_n be_v not_o move_v in_o you_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v not_o in_o you_o with_o power_n to_o your_o salvation_n an_o other_o

earnest_a manner_n shall_v make_v man_n fear_v to_o break_v the_o law_n whereas_o it_o be_v better_a apt_o to_o open_v unto_o they_o the_o manner_n of_o god_n apparition_n when_o he_o give_v the_o law_n that_o as_o then_o so_o for_o ever_o upon_o the_o apt_a description_n the_o fearful_a manner_n of_o god_n give_v the_o law_n may_v beget_v a_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o man_n heart_n and_o consequent_o a_o fear_n to_o break_v his_o law_n so_o give_v to_o man_n and_o true_o it_o be_v a_o very_a great_a darkness_n yea_o also_o damnable_a which_o will_v be_v find_v in_o man_n at_o the_o last_o day_n by_o their_o not_o be_v possess_v with_o the_o act_n and_o judgement_n of_o god_n for_o they_o and_o through_o they_o fear_v god_n but_o rest_v only_o with_o a_o seem_a fear_n bring_v on_o they_o by_o hear_v some_o overzealous_a preacher_n zeal_n be_v good_a yea_o it_o must_v be_v when_o the_o people_n be_v dull_a and_o slow_a of_o hear_v and_o therefore_o i_o will_v not_o have_v man_n think_v that_o i_o reprove_v all_o zealous_a preacher_n but_o i_o will_v have_v man_n rather_o to_o know_v that_o i_o will_v not_o have_v any_o to_o make_v a_o false_a aim_n or_o end_n of_o their_o zeal_n they_o must_v not_o think_v to_o bear_v man_n more_o down_o with_o their_o zeal_n than_o all_o the_o power_n of_o god_n in_o his_o work_n declare_v can_v do_v for_o this_o be_v to_o the_o great_a dishonour_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o conclude_v let_v no_o man_n hurt_v his_o own_o soul_n by_o say_v what_o shall_v i_o fear_v god_n for_o any_o thing_n do_v by_o he_o to_o other_o heretofore_o for_o to_o fear_n god_n for_o the_o judgement_n inflict_v upon_o other_o be_v the_o ready_a way_n to_o remove_v god_n judgement_n from_o yourself_o and_o sure_o he_o that_o thus_o honour_v god_n by_o fear_v he_o for_o that_o do_v by_o he_o to_o other_o shall_v never_o feel_v judgement_n but_o gentle_a correction_n rather_o therefore_o at_o any_o hand_n take_v heed_n of_o so_o
