Prop. II.
They are both Holy and Happy Men that thus Walk with God: This is the Prerogative of them that have God with them in all their Walk.
1. The Walker with God is a very Holy Man: What is true Holiness? Many mistakes have there been about that glorious thing: A Man may be Orthodox in his Persuasions, and yet not be Holy: A Man may be very Austere and Severe in his Practices, and yet not be Holy: You may say of a Man, That he has a Righteousness equal to that of the Scribes and Pharisees, and yet the Man may be a stranger to true Holiness after all. O but when once it can be said of a Man, He walks with God! then, then Holiness is to be seen upon him.
