A SERMON PREACHED BY Mr. JOSEPH CARYL, August the 17. 1662. at Magnus.
Upon Revel. 3. verse 4. the latter part of that Verse. And they shall walk with me in white, for they are worthy.
IN the former part of this Verse, you heard the Commendation of those few Names in Sardis: It was this, They had not defiled their garments. In this latter part you have their Encouragement in their Reward: They shall walk with me in white. In which Encouragement, I told you we might consider two things; or take it in two parts. First, That they should walk with Christ. Secondly, They should walk in white.

I have spoken to the former of these, they shall walk with Christ, and that the Scripture holds forth under a twofold notion: First, As matter of duty. It is a duty to walk with Christ. ⟨p. 2⟩Secondly, It is a matter of promise: They that keep their garments undefiled, and live in high favour with Christ, they shall walk with Christ: we favour those walk with us.
