The Ninth Particular is this: The soul that walks with God, as God reveals himself unto it still more and more, so it follows God more and more, and still seeks to glorify God more and more, that's walking: There is a progress in the ways of godliness where there is a walking. The soul when first it is led by the hand of Jesus Christ to God, and comes and ⟨p. 283⟩walks with him, Oh 'tis sweet and comfortable, but still as God reveals himself more and more to the soul, so the soul still grows up in godliness more and more, and still is more holy, and more gracious, and honours God more in the Conversation of it than formerly it hath done, it gets nearer and nearer to Heaven every day; this is to walk with God. There's a notable Scripture in the 63. Psal. 8. David saith there, My soul follows hard after thee, O Lord, thy right hand upholdeth me. As a poor child that is walking with the father, it may be he is weak, and cannot go so fast as it doth desire, but the father puts forth his hand and takes hold of him and so upholds and strengthens the child, and it follows hard after the father: so 'tis here: Oh Lord thy right hand upholds me: If it did not uphold me, I could not walk, but thy right hand upholds me, and then my soul follows hard after thee, and so increases in godliness more and more: I will praise thee more and more saith David in another place speaking of the honour that he desired to give to God in his way, he professed he would still ad to the praise of God, and praise him more and more.
