If ever you would be spiritually rich, look to your walking; 'tis not the knowing soul, nor the talking soul, but ⟨p. 245⟩the close-walking soul, the obediential soul, that is in spirituals the richest soul. Others may be rich in notions, but none so rich in spiritual experiences, and in all holy and heavenly grace, as close-walking Christians. Psal. 84. 11. 1The Lord will give grace and glory, and no good thing will he with-hold from them that walk uprightly. The upright walker shall be both of his Court, and Council, he shall know any thing, and have any thing. In John 14. 21, 23. compared. If any man love me, he will keep my Commandments, and I will love him, and my father will love him, (what then?) we will make our abode with him, and will manifest our selves to him. Certainly they cannot be poor, that enjoy such Guests as these; they must needs be full, who enjoy them that are fullness it self; God and Christ are overflowing Fountains, and holy souls find it so.
