DIAL. IX.
Verse 13, 14. See that ye walk honestly, as in the day, not in gluttony, & drunkennesse, neither in chambering and wanton∣nesse, neyther in strife and enuying, but put you on the Lorde Iesus, and take no care for the Flesh, to fulfill the lusts of it.
TEll vs what is meant by walking, and honestly?
By walking (after the ordinary phrase) is meant liuing or leading our course of life. [Honestlic]* 1.1 that is, decently or in a comely fashion, which Paul ex∣pounds by three aduerbs, godlily, iustly, soberly, Titus 2, 11. The Apostle still followes the allegorie of night & day, sleeping and waking; as the custome of men is, when* 1.2 the time of a waking drawes on, not onely to leaue the Bed and night cloathes behinde them, but to doe such workes as vse to be done in the day, hauing care of their habite and actions that all be decent and fit: so for chri∣stians which are awaked out of sinnes sleepe, and are es∣caped the night of ignorance, it is not enough to bee no more secure, and to cast off euill workes, but to busie themselues diligently, as may becom the day of the gos∣pell. It will not suffice to be voide of euill workes wee must be exercised in good workes: as for a man to arise out of his bed, it is not sufficient, he must addresse him∣selfe to some duty of his calling.
