Here is, 1. The presumption and impudence of a wicked man: He hardens
his face--brazens it, that he may not blush--steels it, that he may not
tremble when he commits the greatest crimes; he bids defiance to the
terrors of the law and the checks of his own conscience, the reproofs
of the word and the rebukes of Providence; he will have his way and
nothing shall hinder him, Isa. lvii. 17. 2. The caution and
circumspection of a good man: As for the upright, he does not say, What
would I do? What have I a mind to? and that will I have; but, What
should I do? What does God require of me? What is duty? What is
prudence? What is for edification? And so he does not force his way,
but direct his way by a safe and certain rule.
