have_v give_v you_o say_v the_o apostle_n 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 a_o love_n in_o word_n and_o in_o tongue_n but_o in_o

in_o those_o ●●mes_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 the_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 and_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 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 they_o worship_v not_o 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 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

it_o be_v the_o gross_a idolatry_n that_o ever_o be_v because_o there_o be_v the_o suit_a petence_n of_o worship_v jesus_n and_o yet_o they_o turn_v he_o into_o a_o idol_n what_o else_o mean_v their_o
