As first, Their walk it is a walk of Humility, a way very humble. The heart that walks with God must needs be very humble in the presence of God; you know the place in the 6. of Micah, He hath shown thee, O man, what he would have thee to do, To walk humbly with thy God: that's more than the offering of thousands of Lambs, or ten thousand Rivers of Oil, To walk humbly with thy God: A proud man or woman never knows what it is to walk with God. But the walking with God causes much humility, there's no such thing in the world to humble the heart of a man as to have converse with God, do you see a man proud and haughty, and high in his carriage, surely you may conclude this man hath little converse with God: saith Job, I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now have mine eyes seen thee: what then? I abhor my self in dust and ashes.

Secondly, Another thing that the Scripture speaks of the walk of a Christian with God, it is, Uprightness; Walk before me, and he upright. I might give you twenty Scriptures for that, how uprightness is the walk of a Christian with God: I'll give you only one about this, and that is in the 3 Epist. of John, 3. verse, there it is expressed in the new Testament, by walking in the truth: and so sometimes in the Old, the walking in Uprightness, and walking in the Truth, is somewhat the same: I rejoiced greatly (saith the Apostle)
