What meant

righteaufneffe..
.
righteous dealings
in
the
world, you
will fee how
the
world
is
carryed
on
in
uniufiice,
and unrighteoufneflè
that
prevanleain
the
world,
but in the meane
time
this
will
;oe
neere to
your
hearts,
it
will be
a
paine and
griefs to
your
follies
to fee
the
unrighteou carriages of
things in
the
world,
and you
will
long
.
for
the
time wherein
righteoufneife
may
prevaile in the world
and rule
among men
;
well bleffed
are
you,
doe
not
you
med-
dle
with
their
unrighteous dealings,but when
you fee
it
among
,o.hers,
let
your longing
deliires
be for
the
time wherein
rigs
teoufneffe
ihall
prevatle
in
the world,and
bledèd
are
you
that
do
thtu
hunger and
thief,
this
I
verily doe beleeve
is,a
fpeciall
thing thatChrifl intends
in
the
pronouncing
of
this
bleliednes,
and therefore
I
mull not
pafle
over this
fo
lightly
as
many
doe
in
handling
of
this
blefièdneffe.
I
confeffe
the other righteouf-
neffe, the moll of
your
latter
men that efpecially
fpeake
of
this
ina
preaching-way, they looke
to
that that
they
thinke
to
be
mot1
fpirituall,
as
thus, that
hunger
and
thirfl after the
righte-
oufnetfe
of Jefus Chriíl
,
Bleffed are they
that
have
carnell,
ftrong
and
unf;tisfying defires after'
the
righteoufneffe
of
Christ,
that they
may
be cloathed with
the
righteoufneffe of
Jefus
Chriíl;
and ftand righteous before
God,
through the
righteoufneffe
of
his Son,
Ble
f
fed
are
they.
And
their,
Bteff
ed
are
they
that
doe
hunger and
thirff
after
the
power
of
righteauflieffe in
their
owne
hearts,
to
`be de.-
.
livered
from the
power of
fin, and
to
have
further degrees
of
fan66liñcation
in
their hearts,
this
is
ordinarily,
and
I
fuppofe
.
in moll of
your
thoughts
that
have
minded
this Scripture,
you
have
rather
looked
upon
this
riahteoufnef
e
to
be meant
the
righteoufneffe
of
juflì,`ication by yefus
Chriíl,
and
the righte-
oufneffe
of
fanaification
by
the
work
of the
Spirit
in
the hem:,
and thefe two are
very Godly Interpretations,
very
fpiricu.il,
and we mutt not exclude them
,
but (hall
fpeake
likewiie to
either
of thefe
two
:
But
for
this exercife
I
íhall
fpeak only
of
the
firf1.
That
hunger and thirfl after righteoufneffe, after
righteous
dealing
:
And
dough
the other
are more
eÄCellen_
in
themfelves,yet
I
doubt
much
whither
adrift
had not this
in
his'
thoughts,
