what_o the_o lord_n speak_v this_o day_n to_o thou_o certain_o thou_o never_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o walk_v with_o god_n except_o thou_o do_v walk_v blameless_o before_o man_n too_o the_o ten_o evidence_n open_v in_o five_o particular_n see_v but_o how_o the_o scripture_n describe_v the_o walk_n of_o the_o saint_n with_o god_n there_o be_v some_o four_o or_o five_o particular_n that_o i_o shall_v infist_n upon_o wherein_o i_o shall_v open_v some_o scripture_n describe_v the_o saint_n walk_v with_o god_n as_o first_o their_o walk_n it_o be_v a_o walk_n of_o humility_n a_o way_n very_o humble_a the_o heart_n that_o walk_v with_o god_n must_v needs_o be_v very_o humble_a in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n you_o know_v the_o place_n in_o the_o 6._o of_o micah_n he_o have_v show_v thou_o o_o man_n what_o he_o will_v have_v thou_o to_o do_v to_o walk_v humble_o with_o thy_o god_n that_o be_v more_o than_o the_o offering_n of_o thousand_o of_o lamb_n or_o ten_o thousand_o river_n of_o oil_n to_o walk_v humble_o with_o thy_o god_n a_o proud_a man_n or_o woman_n never_o know_v what_o it_o be_v to_o walk_v with_o god_n but_o the_o walk_n with_o god_n cause_v much_o humility_n there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n to_o humble_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o man_n as_o to_o have_v converse_n with_o god_n do_v you_o see_v a_o man_n proud_a and_o haughty_a and_o high_a in_o his_o carriage_n sure_o you_o may_v conclude_v this_o man_n have_v little_a converse_n with_o god_n say_v job_n i_o have_v hear_v of_o thou_o by_o the_o hear_n of_o the_o ear_n but_o now_o have_v my_o eye_n see_v thou_o what_o then_o i_o abhor_v myself_o in_o dust_n and_o ash_n second_o another_o thing_n that_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o the_o walk_n of_o a_o christian_a with_o god_n it_o be_v uprightness_n walk_v before_o i_o and_o he_o upright_o i_o may_v give_v you_o twenty_o scripture_n for_o that_o how_o uprightness_n be_v the_o walk_n of_o a_o christian_a with_o god_n i_o will_v give_v you_o only_o one_o about_o this_o and_o that_o be_v in_o the_o 3_o epist_n of_o john_n 3._o verse_n there_o it_o be_v express_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n by_o walk_v in_o the_o truth_n and_o so_o sometime_o in_o the_o old_a the_o walk_n in_o uprightness_n and_o walk_v in_o the_o truth_n be_v somewhat_o the_o same_o i_o rejoice_v great_o say_v the_o apostle_n when_o the_o brethren_n come_v and_o testify_v of_o the_o truth_n that_o be_v in_o thou_o even_o as_o thou_o walk_v in_o the_o truth_n so_o that_o this_o sure_o have_v reference_n unto_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o truth_n and_o sincerity_n of_o our_o heart_n they_o testify_v of_o the_o truth_n that_o be_v in_o thou_o that_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o do_v prevail_v in_o thy_o heart_n and_o prevail_v in_o thy_o heart_n thou_o do_v walk-in_a the_o strength_n and_o power_n of_o that_o truth_n and_o according_a to_o the_o truth_n here_o be_v a_o walk_n with_o god_n and_o no_o marvel_n though_o the_o soul_n of_o this_o man_n be_v in_o so_o good_a a_o condition_n as_o indeed_o it_o be_v for_o you_o find_v in_o the_o 2._o verse_n of_o this_o epistle_n a_o very_a strange_a expression_n of_o john_n concern_v this_o gaius_n what_o do_v he_o say_v of_o he_o i_o wish_v say_v he_o above_o all_o thing_n that_o then_o may_v prosper_v and_o be_v in_o health_n even_o as_o thy_o soul_n prosper_v it_o seem_v this_o gaius_n have_v but_o a_o poor_a weak_a sickly_a body_n but_o a_o very_a good_a soul_n he_o be_v and_o say_v john_n i_o wish_v that_o thou_o may_v prosper_v even_o as_o thy_o soul_n prosper_v oh_o that_o thou_o have_v but_o as_o good_a a_o body_n as_o a_o soul_n it_o be_v a_o very_a strange_a speech_n it_o be_v a_o curse_n to_o many_o of_o you_o i_o be_o afraid_a but_o john_n can_v say_v concern_v gaius_n oh_o that_o this_o man_n gaius_n have_v as_o good_a a_o body_n as_o he_o have_v a_o soul_n and_o how_o come_v he_o to_o have_v his_o soul_n to_o prosper_v he_o walk_v in_o the_o truth_n and_o according_a to_o the_o truth_n and_o all_o that_o he_o do_v be_v in_o the_o truth_n and_o sincerity_n of_o his_o heart_n hence_o his_o soul_n come_v to_o prosper_v and_o those_o that_o have_v but_o very_o weak_a part_n yet_o if_o they_o walk_v in_o the_o truth_n their_o soul_n will_v prosper_v the_o three_o thing_n be_v walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o indeed_o these_o two_o be_v very_o near_o a_o kin_n one_o to_o another_o so_o you_o have_v it_o in_o the_o 5._o of_o nehe._n 9_o verse_n also_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o good_a that_o you_o do_v ought_v you_o not_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o our_o god_n and_o he_o give_v a_o argument_n there_o because_o of_o the_o reproach_n of_o the_o heathen_a so_o may_v i_o say_v to_o all_o christian_n that_o will_v profess_v themselves_o christian_n and_o godly_a ought_v not_o you_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o our_o god_n whatsoever_o other_o man_n do_v they_o do_v thus_o and_o thus_o and_o seek_v to_o follow_v their_o own_o end_n and_o way_n but_o ought_v not_o you_o to_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o our_o god_n that_o be_v the_o walk_n of_o a_o christian_a the_o fear_n of_o god_n it_o be_v continual_o upon_o he_o and_o observe_v we_o read_v in_o the_o 9_o of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o walk_n of_o the_o christian_n in_o the_o primitive_a time_n upon_o which_o they_o come_v so_o to_o grow_v up_o in_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n as_o they_o do_v at_o the_o 31._o verse_n the_o text_n say_v then_o have_v the_o church_n rest_n throughout_o all_o judea_n and_o gallilee_n and_o samaira_n and_o be_v edify_v and_o what_o then_o they_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o in_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o so_o come_v to_o be_v multiply_v it_o be_v a_o excellent_a scripture_n will_v you_o be_v build_v up_o in_o godliness_n let_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v upon_o you_o and_o if_o you_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n you_o will_v walk_v in_o the_o joy_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n obj._n you_o will_v say_v fear_v that_o may_v hinder_v our_o joy_n ans_fw-fr no_o but_o the_o way_n to_o have_v true_a joy_n in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o be_v to_o walk_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o though_o you_o have_v a_o company_n of_o vain_a and_o wanton_a spirit_n that_o be_v nothing_o but_o for_o jollity_n and_o mirth_n they_o can_v admit_v of_o any_o kind_n of_o seriousness_n that_o we_o speak_v to_o before_o but_o certain_o their_o jollity_n it_o be_v but_o frothy_a and_o carnal_a but_o those_o have_v the_o best_a joy_n in_o their_o heart_n that_o walk_v most_o in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n when_o i_o see_v a_o christian_a have_v the_o fear_n of_o god_n upon_o he_o and_o that_o in_o the_o whole_a course_n of_o his_o life_n than_o he_o will_v have_v much_o of_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n four_o the_o comfort_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n it_o be_v join_v with_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o if_o you_o see_v any_o that_o talk_v never_o so_o much_o of_o the_o joy_n that_o they_o have_v it_o be_v but_o a_o frothy_a carnal_a joy_n except_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n be_v upon_o they_o oh_o
