here_o this_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n it_o be_v not_o love_n in_o word_n and_o in_o tongue_n but_o in_o reality_n a_o love_n discover_v itself_o by_o a_o conscientious_a care_n to_o hold_v conformity_n to_o all_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o if_o any_o shall_v object_v this_o be_v a_o hard_a say_n who_o can_v bear_v it_o say_v the_o apostle_n no_o

in_o the_o 21_o verse_n little_a child_n keep_v yourselves_o from_o idol_n amen_n as_o i_o take_v it_o in_o the_o former_a translation_n it_o be_v babe_n babe_n keep_v yourselves_o from_o idol_n here_o it_o be_v little_a child_n i_o observe_v in_o this_o epistle_n the_o apostle_n make_v a_o distinction_n of_o believer_n into_o three_o rank_n as_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o the_o second_o

be_v a_o great_a duty_n that_o lie_v upon_o all_o that_o will_v approve_v themselves_o in_o godliness_n and_o to_o be_v bring_v over_o to_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o gospel_n that_o they_o look_v to_o their_o worship_n and_o that_o they_o take_v heed_n of_o idol_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n he_o keep_v himself_o that_o the_o wicked_a one_o do_v not_o touch_v he_o oh_o little_a child_n show_v forth_o that_o spiritual_a ability_n that_o by_o grace_n you_o be_v furnish_v withal_o by_o be_v able_a to_o keep_v yourselves_o from_o idol_n it_o may_v be_v say_v what_o be_v this_o to_o we_o be_v we_o in_o danger_n of_o idol_n true_o well_o may_v the_o apostle_n give_v in_o such_o a_o charge_n to_o they_o in_o those_o time_n when_o the_o great_a part_n of_o the_o world_n be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o heathenism_n and_o in_o estrangement_n from_o christ_n and_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o this_o i_o say_v it_o do_v real_o concern_v christian_n in_o gospel-time_n that_o have_v have_v the_o break_n out_o of_o the_o gospel-light_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o gospel-mystery_n to_o be_v careful_a of_o this_o charge_n that_o they_o keep_v themselves_o from_o idol_n there_o be_v the_o idol_n of_o the_o heathen_n grant_v it_o and_o so_o still_o there_o be_v a_o generation_n of_o people_n that_o our_o soul_n shall_v mourn_v over_o to_o consider_v their_o state_n that_o be_v wrap_v up_o in_o ignorance_n of_o god_n know_v nothing_o of_o the_o true_a god_n and_o of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o it_o be_v the_o state_n and_o condition_n of_o the_o jew_n at_o this_o day_n and_o what_o a_o sad_a condition_n be_v they_o in_o grant_v it_o that_o they_o do_v not_o worship_v idol_n after_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o heathen_n yet_o they_o worship_v not_o the_o true_a god_n because_o they_o worship_v not_o god_n in_o christ_n for_o say_v the_o apostle_n whoever_o sin_n and_o abide_v not_o in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n he_o have_v not_o god_n he_o that_o abide_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o christ_n he_o have_v the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o so_o the_o jew_n at_o this_o day_n they_o not_o abide_v not_o own_v the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n they_o have_v not_o god_n because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n this_o be_v their_o condition_n and_o thus_o i_o say_v there_o be_v not_o only_o the_o idol_n of_o the_o heathen_n oh_o but_o sad_o be_v it_o speak_v there_o be_v idol_n among_o person_n pretend_v to_o christ_n and_o gospel-faith_n and_o the_o doctrine_n concern_v grace_n
