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.

in_o common_a experience_n that_o man_n live_v under_o government_n do_v usual_o inform_v themselves_o before_o every_o act_n of_o importance_n whether_o the_o law_n permit_v it_o or_o no_o so_o that_o they_o will_v not_o so_o much_o as_o cut_v a_o tree_n break_v open_a a_o hedge_n or_o the_o like_a but_o they_o will_v inform_v themselves_o first_o say_v may_v i_o lawful_o do_v this_o why_o shall_v we_o not_o be_v as_o careful_a of_o the_o law_n of_o god_n consult_v with_o it_o also_o before_o any_o act_n speech_n or_o thought_n inform_v ourselves_o whether_o we_o may_v do_v such_o or_o

their_o own_o vileness_n but_o also_o the_o soul_n will_v be_v fore-possessed_n with_o a_o dislike_n and_o loathe_n of_o they_o and_o this_o to_o the_o abate_n of_o the_o force_n of_o all_o occasion_n which_o shall_v be_v offer_v to_o commit_v or_o fulfil_v they_o thus_o if_o you_o will_v use_v yourself_o to_o look_v every_o sin_n a_o in_o the_o face_n umask_v wist_o that_o so_o you_o may_v be_v
