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

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

and_o in_o company_n they_o have_v not_o that_o freedom_n of_o their_o eye_n to_o see_v thing_n as_o at_o another_o time_n oh_o many_o man_n come_v to_o the_o word_n with_o their_o thik_a clay_n &_o

tell_v they_o so_o those_o that_o walk_v with_o god_n will_v be_v as_o spiritual_a in_o the_o one_o as_o in_o the_o other_o it_o may_v be_v when_o they_o be_v with_o other_o because_o they_o be_v to_o

walk_v with_o god_n will_v compose_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n will_v take_v off_o that_o looseness_n and_o vanity_n of_o spirit_n therefore_o walk_v in_o the_o vanity_n of_o the_o

they_o must_v have_v compose_v spirit_n and_o walk_v serious_o and_o though_o they_o may_v walk_v serious_o yet_o cheerful_o i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v of_o this_o for_o that_o christian_a know_v

thing_n there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o seriousness_n in_o true_a joy_n for_o the_o joy_n of_o a_o christian_a be_v not_o frothy_a it_o be_v a_o compose_a joy_n as_o thus_o now_o it_o be_v serious_a first_o a_o christian_a in_o his_o joy_n he_o be_v able_a to_o command_v himself_o he_o can_v let_v out_o his_o joy_n so_o far_o and_o yet_o at_o a_o beck_n he_o can_v command_v himself_o to_o the_o most_o spiritual_a duty_n in_o the_o world_n from_o his_o joy_n he_o do_v not_o profuse_o let_v out_o his_o heart_n so_o as_o he_o can_v call_v it_o in_o again_o certain_o thou_o do_v not_o joy_n as_o a_o christian_a if_o thou_o can_v not_o take_v off_o thy_o heart_n from_o creature_n joy_n god_n give_v thou_o liberty_n to_o be_v merry_a but_o so_o as_o to_o have_v it_o under_o thy_o command_n as_o thou_o shall_v be_v able_a to_o call_v thy_o heart_n off_o from_o it_o to_o the_o most_o serious_a duty_n in_o the_o world_n second_o he_o can_v only_o command_v himself_o to_o holy_a duty_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o his_o joy_n but_o he_o find_v himself_o the_o fit_a for_o holy_a duty_n by_o it_o now_o this_o be_v a_o serious_a joy_n if_o it_o be_v no_o other_o than_o i_o can_v command_v myself_o off_o from_o it_o and_o that_o that_o fit_v i_o for_o that_o which_o be_v holy_a christian_n have_v need_n take_v heed_n of_o frothinesse_n slightness_n and_o vanity_n for_o certain_o the_o walk_n with_o god_n can_v but_o make_v they_o serious_a and_o those_o that_o be_v slight_a and_o vain_a sure_o they_o do_v not_o converse_v with_o god_n for_o god_n be_v such_o a_o serious_a object_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a but_o it_o must_v work_v a_o seriousness_n in_o the_o spirit_n of_o man_n the_o four_o evidence_n those_o that_o walk_v with_o god_n they_o walk_v in_o newness_n of_o

it_o be_v with_o our_o lust_n and_o with_o the_o devil_n and_o in_o the_o way_n to_o hell_n but_o one_o that_o walk_v with_o god_n walk_v in_o newness_n of_o life_n as_o the_o scripture_n speak_v in_o the_o 6._o rom._n 4._o he_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o new_a creature_n in_o the_o 6._o gal._n 16._o and_o as_o many_o as_o walk_v according_a to_o this_o rule_n peace_n be_v on_o they_o and_o mercy_n you_o will_v say_v what_o rule_n do_v the_o apostle_n mean_v here_o i_o confess_v ordinary_o you_o have_v it_o apply_v to_o this_o the_o walk_z according_a to_o the_o scripture_n i_o grant_v it_o that_o be_v a_o truth_n that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v the_o rule_n of_o our_o walk_n and_o of_o our_o life_n and_o those_o that_o walk_v according_a to_o that_o rule_n shall_v have_v peace_n but_o i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o to_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o this_o text_n but_o the_o scope_n be_v to_o be_v take_v from_o the_o word_n of_o the_o former_a verse_n for_o say_v he_o in_o the_o 15._o verse_n in_o christ_n jesus_n neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n nor_o uncircumcision_n but_o a_o new_a creature_n and_o as_o many_o as_o walk_v according_a to_o this_o rule_n that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o new_a creature_n not_o stand_v so_o much_o upon_o external_a thing_n either_o circumcision_n or_o uncircumcision_n not_o stand_v so_o much_o upon_o outward_a duty_n though_o in_o their_o kind_n they_o must_v be_v stand_v upon_o but_o the_o main_a thing_n that_o be_v to_o be_v stand_v upon_o it_o be_v the_o walk_n of_o the_o new_a creature_n and_o those_o that_o walk_v according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o new_a creature_n those_o that_o act_n the_o new_a creature_n in_o their_o walk_n peace_n be_v unto_o they_o and_o that_o be_v the_o four_o thing_n in_o the_o evidence_n of_o a_o walker_n with_o god_n he_o walk_v in_o newness_n of_o life_n and_o so_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o the_o new_a creature_n the_o five_o evidence_n when_o he_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o the_o creature_n be_v do_v quick_o pass_v through_o the_o creature_n unto_o god_n any_o one_o i_o say_v that_o be_v acquaint_v with_o this_o

receive_v or_o be_v in_o receive_v the_o sweetness_n of_o the_o creature_n his_o heart_n be_v upon_o god_n oh_o the_o sweetness_n there_o be_v in_o god_n be_v the_o creature_n so_o sweet_a how_o sweet_a be_v god_n then_o when_o he_o be_v in_o company_n with_o friend_n be_v it_o so_o sweet_a to_o have_v society_n with_o man_n how_o sweet_a be_v it_o to_o have_v society_n with_o god_n then_o and_o when_o he_o have_v comfort_n in_o a_o wife_n oh_o what_o comfort_n be_v there_o in_o the_o comfort_n of_o my_o husband_n jesus_n christ_n and_o when_o he_o have_v comfort_n in_o a_o sweet_a
