The Ninth Evidence.
A man that walks with God, is one that walks in all the Commandments of God. Endeavours to walk in them before him, and blameless before men: in the 1. of Luke, the 6. it's said of Zechariah, and Elizabeth, They were both righteous before God, walking in all the Commandments and Ordinances of the Lord, blameless: here's a walking with God, not only to walk in some one thing, but in all Commandments, and Ordinances of God, and not only so, but blameless before men too; though it's true, the chief work that he hath, it is, in converse with God, yet he is careful so as to be blameless before men, because it concerns much the honour of God that he should be blameless before men: Zechariah and Elizabeth they were walkers with God, and their lives are described so that they were conscionable in all the Commands of God, and walked blameless before men. Now as we go along, apply it, Can you say, Lord, Thou that knowest all things, knowest, that there's no command of thine, nor no Ordinance of thine, but my soul closes with, and I desire to spend my life in them, and to walk blamelessly before men?

Now as we go along, apply it, Can you say, Lord, Thou that knowest al things, knowest, that there's no command of thine, nor no Ordinance of thine, but my soul closes with, and I desire to spend my life in them, and to walk blamelesly before men?
