Seeing Christ is in the middest of his Church,1 we must do as Enoch, Gen. 5. 22. walk with or before Christ: when we take any thing in hand, do any thing in word or deed, we must do all in Christs presence. We must do all we do, that we may have approbation of Christ, for he is in the midst of his Church, to look to it, to defend it, he seeth what we do; therefore do all that he ⟨p. 91⟩may like of it, and approve it. That we may do so, we must have direction for that we do out of his word: and if we be able to walk before Christ, we shall be able to do many duties to him, and be unblameable in this wicked world.
