Psalm 15:2 He that walks uprightly, and works righteousness, and speaks the truth in his heart. Now, if we be travellers or wayfaring men we are to be careful of three things. 1. That we go in the right way; for if we go out of our way, the farther we go the farther we shall be from our journey's end. This way is the true religion of Christ, which in the Scriptures is called the way, the way of life, the way of peace. 2. The next thing whereof we must be careful is, that being set in the right way we go forward therein, proceeding from faith to faith, and from a less measure of grace unto a greater. For neither must we stand still ill this way, neither must we go back; for if we do so, how shall we come to our journey's end? We must take heed therefore lest we be non-proficients, and let us fear lest when we cease to be better we begin to be worse. 3. The third thing is, that we be upright in the way, neither treading awry by secret dissembling, nor halting downright betwixt God and Mammon. (G. Downame.)
