character_n of_o a_o godly_a man_n he_o that_o be_v true_o the_o godly_a man_n be_v he_o that_o have_v a_o inward_a sense_n of_o a_o supreme_a power_n that_o be_v over_o he_o that_o make_v and_o govern_v the_o world_n and_o all_o thing_n in_o it_o that_o be_v infinite_o wise_a and_o good_a and_o perfect_o pure_a and_o holy_a that_o see_v all_o thing_n and_o that_o will_v judge_v all_o man_n for_o every_o thing_n they_o do_v at_o a_o great_a tribunal_n where_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o respect_n of_o person_n where_o all_o man_n even_o the_o great_a shall_v be_v set_v on_o the_o level_n with_o the_o mean_a and_o where_o every_o one_o shall_v give_v a_o account_n of_o himself_o to_o god_n and_o shall_v receive_v according_a to_o what_o he_o have_v do_v in_o this_o life_n a_o godly_a man_n be_v he_o on_o who_o mind_n the_o sense_n of_o these_o thing_n have_v so_o deep_o seize_v that_o he_o study_v above_o all_o thing_n to_o resemble_v that_o be_v as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v and_o to_o raise_v his_o nature_n to_o be_v as_o perfect_v as_o wise_a and_o as_o good_a as_o he_o can_v make_v it_o he_o endeavour_v to_o govern_v all_o his_o action_n in_o a_o conformity_n to_o the_o will_n and_o law_n of_o god_n he_o rejoice_v when_o he_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o he_o know_v be_v well_o please_v to_o he_o and_o be_v much_o trouble_v when_o the_o frailty_n of_o his_o nature_n and_o the_o force_n of_o temptation_n carry_v he_o to_o any_o thing_n that_o offend_v god_n a_o godly_a man_n be_v he_o that_o do_v so_o firm_o believe_v that_o god_n by_o his_o providence_n warch_v over_o all_o thing_n that_o he_o do_v in_o all_o his_o way_n resign_v himself_o up_o to_o his_o will_n and_o submit_v to_o every_o thing_n that_o come_v to_o he_o from_o that_o hand_n and_o in_o sum_n a_o godly_a man_n be_v he_o that_o do_v always_o acknowledge_v god_n that_o ray_n to_o he_o for_o every_o good_a thing_n that_o he_o desire_v and_o chief_o for_o the_o inward_a assistance_n of_o his_o grace_n to_o reform_v and_o purify_v his_o nature_n and_o that_o bless_v god_n for_o every_o good_a thing_n that_o he_o receive_v when_o this_o godly_a man_n pray_v to_o god_n either_o in_o private_a or_o public_a he_o do_v it_o with_o so_o serious_a a_o temper_n of_o mind_n and_o such_o a_o bent_n of_o thought_n that_o he_o plain_o perceive_v in_o himself_o that_o what_o he_o do_v be_v not_o the_o effect_n of_o habit_n or_o custom_n but_o rise_v out_o of_o a_o apprehension_n of_o his_o own_o necessity_n and_o of_o the_o fullness_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n this_o be_v the_o character_n of_o he_o that_o be_v true_o godly_a who_o consider_v not_o religion_n as_o a_o engine_n to_o impose_v fear_n or_o hope_n on_o the_o weak_a part_n of_o mankind_n as_o the_o most_o effectual_a way_n of_o govern_v they_o nor_o do_v amuse_v himself_o with_o speculation_n or_o dispute_n about_o it_o as_o a_o notional_a and_o dry_a matter_n that_o do_v not_o consider_v it_o as_o the_o cement_n of_o party_n to_o form_n and_o advance_v low_a or_o base_a interest_n but_o consider_v it_o as_o a_o design_n to_o form_n in_o a_o man_n new_a principle_n out_o of_o which_o a_o new_a nature_n may_v grow_v but_o such_o a_o nature_n as_o will_v make_v he_o the_o best_a the_o amiabl_a the_o useful_a and_o the_o perfect_a creature_n that_o he_o can_v possible_o be_v in_o this_o life_n and_o that_o put_v he_o in_o a_o certain_a way_n to_o be_v vast_o more_o pure_a and_o perfect_a in_o another_o state_n this_o man_n direct_v all_o his_o study_n and_o practice_n in_o religion_n to_o the_o advance_n of_o these_o principle_n within_o himself_o and_o he_o give_v the_o world_n so_o lovely_a a_o view_n of_o his_o religion_n by_o what_o they_o see_v in_o he_o that_o he_o do_v thereby_o promote_v it_o more_o effectual_o than_o all_o the_o most_o learned_a disputer_n or_o most_o eloquent_a persuader_n can_v possible_o do_v and_o to_o advance_v this_o character_n to_o the_o next_o branch_n of_o it_o a_o godly_a man_n be_v certain_o a_o faithful_a man_n for_o he_o that_o have_v a_o true_a sense_n of_o religion_n in_o he_o know_v that_o god_n be_v true_a and_o that_o in_o he_o there_o be_v no_o lie_n nor_o deceit_n that_o he_o abhor_v the_o deceitful_a man_n and_o will_v destroy_v he_o that_o speak_v lie_n his_o religion_n when_o it_o be_v true_a and_o unsophisticated_a work_v he_o up_o to_o such_o a_o purity_n of_o mind_n 6._o that_o he_o always_o speak_v the_o truth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o his_o heart_n 2._o his_o belief_n of_o the_o eye_n of_o god_n that_o see_v through_o he_o 14._o to_o which_o all_o thing_n be_v naked_a and_o open_v and_o that_o will_v bring_v every_o secret_a thing_n to_o judgement_n oblige_v he_o to_o a_o severity_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o truth_n that_o will_v shut_v out_o not_o only_o plain_a downright_a lie_v and_o falsehood_n but_o that_o will_v raise_v he_o above_o all_o little_a and_o disingenuous_a art_n and_o practice_n to_o such_o a_o pitch_n of_o candour_n and_o sincerity_n that_o every_o man_n who_o have_v any_o concern_v with_o he_o will_v soon_o see_v what_o he_o be_v to_o trust_v to_o or_o to_o depend_v on_o a_o faithful_a man_n be_v he_o that_o hate_v both_o lie_n and_o liar_n and_o scorn_v those_o base_a and_o unworthy_a method_n of_o slander_n and_o calumny_n he_o deceive_v no_o man_n he_o may_v and_o often_o aught_o to_o use_v decent_a and_o prudent_a reserve_v but_o in_o what_o he_o say_v and_o profess_v he_o be_v exact_a often_o to_o keep_v within_o the_o truth_n but_o never_o to_o go_v beyond_o it_o he_o be_v true_a in_o his_o action_n as_o well_o as_o in_o his_o word_n he_o be_v just_a in_o all_o the_o commerce_n of_o life_n upright_o in_o all_o deal_n punctual_a in_o perform_v agreement_n and_o promise_n but_o slow_a in_o make_v many_o because_o in_o these_o he_o may_v often_o forget_v but_o the_o world_n that_o can_v know_v that_o to_o be_v true_a will_v be_v apt_a to_o impute_v that_o failure_n rather_o to_o a_o want_n of_o sincerity_n than_o of_o memory_n for_o when_o any_o thing_n be_v liable_a to_o two_o sort_n of_o judgement_n the_o one_o mild_a and_o the_o other_o severe_a the_o ill_a nature_a and_o false_a part_n of_o mankind_n which_o be_v always_o by_o much_o the_o great_a will_v ever_o pass_v the_o worst_a construction_n that_o can_v be_v make_v a_o man_n that_o have_v either_o the_o sense_n of_o truth_n in_o himself_o or_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o absolute_a necessity_n of_o it_o to_o all_o human_a society_n for_o maintain_v the_o commerce_n and_o confidence_n of_o mankind_n will_v upon_o other_o principle_n beside_o those_o that_o arise_v out_o of_o religion_n soon_o see_v the_o beauty_n of_o truth_n and_o find_v the_o indispensible_a obligation_n that_o lie_v on_o he_o to_o love_v and_o to_o practice_v it_o yet_o all_o these_o be_v but_o seeble_a tie_n in_o comparison_n with_o those_o that_o arise_v out_o of_o true_a religion_n which_o have_v a_o deep_a and_o more_o certain_a operation_n for_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o allseeing_a eye_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o judgement_n to_o come_v be_v restraint_n of_o another_o nature_n than_o all_o those_o which_o arise_v out_o of_o other_o consideration_n a_o man_n may_v be_v true_a and_o faithful_a i_o confess_v though_o he_o have_v not_o much_o religion_n but_o he_o must_v be_v true_a and_o faithful_a if_o he_o have_v it_o beside_o that_o a_o religious_a man_n will_v be_v always_o true_a and_o faithful_a whereas_o he_o that_o be_v not_o so_o will_v be_v perhaps_o true_a in_o the_o ordinary_a and_o more_o obvious_a part_n of_o his_o life_n but_o when_o he_o think_v art_n and_o management_n a_o little_a necessary_a and_o that_o he_o can_v avoid_v a_o discovery_n he_o will_v dispense_v with_o all_o obligation_n and_o allow_v himself_o great_a liberty_n here_o we_o have_v in_o two_o word_n the_o character_n of_o such_o man_n in_o who_o prince_n may_v well_o trust_v and_o from_o who_o they_o may_v expect_v a_o good_a account_n of_o all_o their_o affair_n a_o true_o godly_a and_o a_o sincere_o honest_a man_n be_v the_o support_n of_o a_o throne_n and_o the_o security_n of_o a_o state_n
