RULE III.
Let us Eat well, that we may Walk well. 'Tis written of Elijah, in 1 Kings 19. 8. He did eat and drink, and went in the strength of that meat [eighty Miles] unto the Mount of God. Would you engage in a Walk with God? Let me then say as the Angel to the Prophet, Arise, ⟨p. 21⟩and Eat, for the walk is too great for thee. A twofold eating are we to be urged unto: Let us by a Contemplative Eating chew upon the Word of God. Never do any Men Walk with God, like them that can say, Meditation is sweet unto me. 'Tis said of Isaac, He walked in the Fields to Meditate: And indeed, He walked with God, when he was alone at that Employment.
