when you speak, act just as others, are as wordly, vain, passionate, selfish, revengeful as others, who will believe that there is in reality any such walking after the Spirit? or that there is more in it than meer fancy and pretence? How did Pauls Spirit rise in him, upon the surmises and censures of some who thought of him as though he walked according to the Flesh? and can you (as to your selves) no• onely bear such censures but (which is much worse) give too just occasion for them? Further let me ask you, doth this Holy walking intermingle it self with your whole conversation? even in your natural and civil actions do you walk after the Spirit? when you eat and drink is your eye upon the glory of God? in common actions have you special and peculiar aimes and principles? the very animal life which you live in the Flesh do you live by the Faith of the Son of God (as Paul did Gal. 2.20)? 'Tis a great mistake to limit this walking after the Spirit to actions materially spiritual, or to the positive duties of Religion; No, at all times, in all actions you are so to walk, doing all from a spiritual Principle, by a spiritual Rule, to a spiritual End. 'Tis one thing to be employ'd in some acts that are spiritual, and another thing to be spiritual in all acts; the fleshly Walker may do the First, but Saints must endeavour after the Last. At your Tables, in your Shops, in your civil Converses, you may (and ought) to live the heavenly life as well as in hearing the Word, Prayer, and such religious Duties. |
