Fourthly, We, especially, acquaint our selves with God in prayer. That is nothing else but the opening of our hearts to God, a declaring of our wants to him, Prayer is the ascending, the lifting up of the soul to God, therefore in prayer we acquaint our selves with God.

Fifthly, Our daily holy walking, is a daily acquainting our selves with God, every step of a holy life is both towards and with God; the life of Enoch (who was too holy for a life here on earth, and therefore he was translated that he should not see death, his life I say) is described thus, Enoch walked with God (Gen. 5.24.) God and Enoch were like two familiars or intimate friends walking together; And because he took so much delight in Gods acquaintance, God took him from all acquaintance with men; so saith that text; Enoch walked with God, and was not, for God took him. He was so taken with God, that God took him, or as the Author to the Hebrews saith, translated him (ch. 11.5.) He was before translated from nature to Grace, & he proved so great a proficient in that school, that he was translated from Grace to Glory (as it were per saltum,) by a leap over the grave; for he saw not death; From which sad vision, but one more (that I read of in all the Scripture, Elijah by name) was excused before he was admitted to the beatifical vision. Holy walking is the sum of all our acquaintance with God; and our fullest acquaintance with God is but the issue of our holy walkings.
