man_n life_n this_o walk_n with_o god_n some_o other_o man_n that_o know_v not_o what_o it_o be_v to_o walk_v with_o god_n perhaps_o they_o may_v come_v and_o walk_v a_o step_n or_o two_o in_o god_n way_n but_o they_o quick_o turn_v out_o again_o and_o they_o find_v they_o tedious_a and_o irksome_a to_o they_o but_o the_o heart_n that_o walk_v with_o god_n do_v all_o this_o that_o i_o have_v name_v that_o be_v eye_n god_n in_o all_o his_o way_n behave_v its_o self_n as_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n walk_n in_o the_o same_o way_n god_n do_v observe_v god_n design_n and_o so_o likewise_o the_o rest_n and_o all_o this_o in_o the_o constant_a course_n of_o his_o life_n it_o be_v true_a through_o the_o violence_n of_o some_o temptation_n there_o may_v chance_v to_o be_v a_o step_n astray_o or_o there_o may_v be_v perhaps_o some_o fall_n in_o the_o way_n but_o still_o the_o heart_n be_v god-ward_o and_o still_o be_v towards_o god_n it_o get_v up_o again_o and_o walk_v again_o in_o the_o way_n it_o do_v not_o mere_o go_v a_o step_n into_o the_o way_n of_o god_n as_o some_o carnal_a man_n do_v it_o may_v be_v sometime_o when_o god_n hand_n be_v upon_o they_o or_o upon_o the_o hear_n of_o some_o sermon_n than_o their_o heart_n be_v a_o little_a touch_v and_o they_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o little_a froward_a but_o take_v the_o constant_a course_n of_o their_o life_n and_o it_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n but_o the_o constant_a course_n of_o the_o way_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n as_o now_o a_o swine_n may_v go_v through_o a_o fair_a meadow_n i_o but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o place_n that_o it_o do_v so_o much_o regard_n but_o it_o will_v be_v in_o the_o mire_n and_o dirt_n and_o there_o it_o wallow_v so_o it_o be_v with_o many_o wicked_a man_n they_o will_v come_v and_o hear_v and_o pray_v and_o do_v some_o good_a duty_n this_o be_v a_o swine_n in_o a_o meadow_n but_o when_o they_o come_v to_o those_o way_n that_o may_v satisfy_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n there_o they_o wallow_v that_o be_v their_o proper_a place_n and_o therefore_o far_o from_o walk_v with_o god_n a_o beggar_n will_v perhaps_o follow_v a_o man_n a_o little_a way_n so_o long_o as_o he_o have_v hope_n of_o get_v any_o thing_n by_o he_o but_o if_o the_o man_n go_v still_o away_o from_o he_o he_o turn_v aside_o to_o another_o way_n he_o will_v go_v no_o further_o along_o with_o he_o so_o it_o be_v with_o many_o man_n even_o many_o professor_n they_o will_v seem_v to_o follow_v god_n perhaps_o for_o comfort_n and_o for_o something_o that_o they_o will_v have_v from_o he_o but_o if_o they_o can_v find_v present_o what_o they_o will_v have_v from_o god_n than_o they_o turn_v aside_o whereas_o i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v this_o the_o difference_n between_o a_o friend_n walk_v with_o another_o out_o of_o delight_n of_o communion_n with_o he_o and_o a_o beggar_n that_o only_o go_v along_o with_o another_o man_n beg_v for_o a_o alm_n the_o man_n that_o go_v along_o beg_v for_o the_o alm_n he_o do_v not_o regard_v the_o company_n of_o this_o man_n any_o further_a than_o he_o may_v have_v hope_n of_o a_o alm_n from_o he_o if_o he_o can_v have_v what_o he_o will_v have_v or_o if_o he_o have_v once_o what_o he_o will_v have_v he_o turn_v aside_o from_o the_o man_n but_o a_o friend_n that_o be_v walk_v with_o his_o friend_n that_o that_o satisfy_v he_o be_v the_o company_n of_o his_o friend_n and_o the_o converse_n that_o he_o have_v with_o he_o while_o he_o be_v walk_v and_o so_o he_o go_v on_o in_o a_o constant_a way_n and_o walk_v to_o the_o end_n of_o
