Two treatises of Mr. Jeremiah Burroughs. The first of earthly-mindedness

The Third thing is, Walking in the fear of God. And indeed, these two are very near a kin one to another, so you have it in the 5. of Nehe. 9. verse, Also I said it is not good that ye do, Ought ye not to WALK in the fear of our God? and he gives an argument there, Because of the reproach of the Heathen. So may I say to all Christians, that would profess themselves Christians and godly; ought not ye to walk in the fear of our God? whatsoever other men do, they do thus and thus, and seek to follow their own ends and ways, but ought not YE to walk in the fear of our God? that's the walk of a Christian, the fear of God it is continually upon him. And observe, we read in the 9. ⟨p. 318⟩of the Acts, of the walk of the Christians in the Primitive times upon which they came so to grow up in the ways of godliness as they did, at the 31. verse, the text saith, Then had the Churches rest throughout all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, and were edified; (and what then?) They walked in the fear of the Lord, and in the comfort of the holy Ghost, and so came to be multiplied. It's an excellent Scripture; would you be built up in godliness? let the fear of God be upon you, and if you walk in the fear of God, you will walk in the joy of the holy Ghost.
