thou_o bring_v forward_o on_o their_o journey_n after_o a_o godly_a sort_n thou_o shall_v do_v welt_n 3._o joh._n 5._o 6._o and_o so_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n they_o be_v call_v ungodly_a person_n who_o turn_v the_o grace_n of_o our_o god_n into_o lasciviousness_n in_o a_o general_a consideration_n jud._n 4._o 2_o pet._n 2._o 5_o 6._o and_o very_o frequent_o in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o psalm_n where_o in_o the_o translation_n after_o the_o hebrew_n we_o read_v wicked_a the_o septuagint_n read_v ungodly_a and_o so_o do_v our_o vulgar_a translation_n as_o we_o by_o observation_n may_v see_v and_o thus_o as_o i_o have_v say_v godliness_n be_v to_o be_v accept_v in_o this_o place_n in_o such_o a_o extensive_a and_o comprehensive_a consideration_n and_o so_o take_v it_o and_o look_v upon_o it_o we_o may_v say_v 1._o that_o by_o godliness_n here_o we_o be_v to_o understand_v the_o christian_a faith_n or_o the_o article_n thereof_o which_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v by_o we_o and_o the_o

god_n be_v manifest_a in_o the_o flesh_n justify_v in_o the_o spirit_n see_v of_o angel_n preach_v unto_o the_o gentile_n believe_v on_o in_o the_o world_n receive_v up_o into_o glory_n 1_o tim._n 3._o 16._o and_o of_o which_o truth_n or_o mystery_n the_o church_n of_o the_o live_a god_n be_v the_o ground_n and_o pillar_n v._o 15._o and_o so_o this_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n contain_v in_o it_o the_o incarnation_n abasement_n suffering_n death_n resurrection_n ascension_n and_o exaltation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o all_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v therein_o preach_v to_o we_o to_o the_o end_n they_o may_v be_v unfeigned_o and_o hearty_o embrace_v and_o entertain_v by_o we_o and_o which_o mystery_n be_v call_v the_o gospel_n thus_o when_o the_o apostle_n

to_o serve_v god_n acceptable_o with_o reverence_n and_o godly_a fear_n to_o serve_v he_o without_o fear_n in_o holiness_n and_o righteousness_n before_o he_o all_o the_o day_n of_o our_o life_n 1_o tim._n 6._o 3._o heb._n 12._o 28._o as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n say_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o bring_v salvation_n unto_o all_o man_n have_v appear_v teach_v we_o that_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n we_o shall_v live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a world_n in_o this_o posture_n look_v for_o the_o bless_a hope_n etc._n etc._n tit._n 2._o 11_o 12_o 13._o and_o the_o same_o apostle_n declare_v to_o the_o believe_a ephesian_n the_o sad_a miscarriage_n of_o the_o gentile_n that_o know_v not_o god_n and_o how_o they_o walk_v in_o the_o vanity_n of_o their_o mind_n he_o than_o say_v unto_o they_o but_o you_o have_v not_o so_o learned_a christ_n if_o so_o be_v that_o you_o have_v hear_v he_o and_o be_v teach_v by_o he_o as_o the_o truth_n be_v in_o

of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n do_v teach_v we_o to_o be_v pure_a in_o heart_n and_o pious_a in_o all_o manner_n of_o demeanour_n and_o conversation_n for_o which_o cause_n also_o it_o be_v call_v the_o truth_n which_o be_v after_o godliness_n eph._n 4._o 20_o 24._o with_o tit._n 1._o 1._o it_o give_v unto_o we_o more_o perfect_a easy_a and_o excellent_a command_n and_o

on_o the_o left_a to_o enforce_v our_o duty_n it_o propound_v to_o we_o the_o most_o excellent_a example_n of_o jesus_n the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v follow_v his_o step_n and_o walk_v as_o he_o have_v walk_v and_o also_o with_o it_o be_v afford_v more_o abundant_a and_o powerful_a assistance_n of_o the_o grace_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n to_o work_v in_o we_o both_o to_o will_v and_o to_o do_v of_o good_a pleasure_n that_o we_o may_v do_v all_o thing_n without_o murmur_a and_o dispute_n that_o so_o we_o may_v be_v blameless_a and_o harmless_a and_o therefore_o as_o our_o bless_a saviour_n say_v except_o your_o righteousness_n shall_v exceed_v the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n which_o be_v the_o most_o strait_a sect_n of_o the_o jew_n religion_n act._n
