ground_n ●y_a that_o god_n love_v thou_o but_o it_o be_v not_o every_o knowledge_n of_o god_n that_o will_v characterise_v a_o person_n to_o be_v a_o object_n of_o god_n love_n for_o if_o we_o look_v into_o 1_o rom._n 21._o we_o may_v see_v that_o there_o be_v some_o that_o have_v a_o rational_a confuse_a knowledge_n of_o god_n in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o creature_n and_o yet_o we_o see_v in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o chapter_n they_o do_v rush_v into_o the_o great_a abomination_n imaginable_a a_o knowledge_n of_o god_n in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o creature_n only_o will_v not_o keep_v the_o creature_n from_o commit_v the_o great_a sin_n against_o god_n but_o thou_o that_o will_v know_v upon_o sure_a ground_n that_o god_n love_v thou_o see_v if_o thou_o do_v know_v god_n in_o his_o power_n as_o to_z fear_v he_o in_o his_o mercy_n as_o to_o love_v he_o and_o his_o faithfulness_n to_o believe_v he_o and_o if_o all_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n have_v such_o a_o influence_n upon_o thou_o than_o i_o dare_v tell_v thou_o for_o thy_o comfort_n that_o thou_o may_v assure_v thyself_o that_o god_n love_v thou_o for_o christ_n who_o be_v truth_n itself_o say_v john_n 10.14_o that_o those_o sheep_n of_o his_o who_o he_o know_v with_o a_o knowledge_n of_o approbation_n they_o know_v he_o with_o a_o knowledge_n of_o love_n and_o obedience_n but_o if_o thou_o be_v one_o that_o do_v not_o fear_n god_n for_o his_o greatness_n nor_o love_v he_o for_o his_o goodness_n nor_o believe_v he_o for_o his_o faithfulness_n but_o in_o strait_n and_o trouble_n can_v allow_v thyself_o in_o take_v indirect_a course_n with_o saul_n and_o ahaziah_n 1.2_o 1_o sam._n 28.7_o 2_o king_n 1.2_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n thou_o have_v at_o present_a but_o little_a ground_n to_o hope_v that_o thou_o be_v a_o object_n of_o god_n love_n 2._o thou_o that_o will_v know_v whether_o thou_o can_v assure_v thyself_o of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n examine_v thyself_o whether_o thou_o have_v receive_v from_o god_n those_o peculiar_a favour_n which_o he_o do_v give_v only_o to_o those_o who_o be_v the_o object_n of_o his_o love_n now_o there_o be_v special_a favour_n which_o god_n bestow_v only_o on_o his_o own_o peculiar_a people_n 27._o ezek._n 11.19.20.36.25_o 26_o 27._o those_o special_a favour_n be_v a_o new_a heart_n and_o a_o new_a spirit_n a_o heart_n of_o flesh_n a_o save_a knowledge_n of_o himself_o a_o self-loathing_a for_o sin_n and_o a_o enlighten_v understanding_n &_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o love_n to_o god_n and_o sincerity_n before_o god_n and_o all_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n now_o these_o be_v the_o special_a favour_n which_o god_n bestow_v only_o on_o those_o that_o be_v the_o object_n of_o his_o love_n oh_o my_o friend_n take_v heed_n you_o do_v not_o build_v your_o hope_n of_o interest_n in_o god_n love_n upon_o the_o sandy_a foundation_n of_o outward_a enjoyment_n many_o be_v ready_a to_o look_v upon_o their_o outward_a enjoyment_n as_o health_n &_o strength_n peace_n and_o safety_n and_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n on_o their_o outward_a enjoyment_n to_o be_v infallible_a sign_n of_o god_n love_n whereas_o indeed_o those_o outward_a thing_n be_v many_o time_n instead_o of_o be_v sign_n of_o god_n love_n be_v unsanctified_a and_o misimprove_v be_v sign_n of_o god_n reprobate_v anger_n but_o if_o god_n have_v bestow_v those_o other_o favour_n upon_o thou_o before_o mention_v than_o thou_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o god_n love_v thou_o the_o love_n of_o god_n do_v in_o a_o providential_a way_n extend_v itself_o to_o all_o his_o creature_n but_o his_o everlasting_a love_n and_o his_o choice_a and_o endear_a affection_n these_o among_o the_o son_n and_o daughter_n of_o adam_n be_v only_a partaker_n of_o to_o who_o god_n have_v give_v a_o new_a heart_n and_o such_o a_o practical_a knowledge_n of_o himself_o together_o with_o all_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o his_o spirit_n 3._o if_o thou_o be_v one_o that_o can_v upon_o good_a ground_n assure_v thyself_o that_o thou_o be_v a_o object_n of_o god_n love_n than_o this_o love_n of_o god_n have_v be_v of_o a_o attractive_a nature_n to_o draw_v thou_o to_o all_o thy_o duty_n both_o relative_n and_o religious_a as_o we_o have_v it_o in_o jeremiah_n 31.3_o i_o have_v love_v thou_o with_o a_o everlasting_a love_n therefore_o with_o love_a kindness_n have_v i_o draw_v thou_o my_o friend_n i_o beseech_v you_o try_v what_o influence_n the_o love_n of_o god_n have_v upon_o your_o heart_n in_o the_o draw_n of_o you_o to_o ●hose_v duty_n which_o be_v the_o most_o contrary_a to_o corrupt_v nature_n and_o the_o most_o loathsome_a to_o the_o flesh_n after_o that_o christ_n have_v manifest_v his_o love_n to_o zacheus_n and_o tell_v he_o that_o salvation_n be_v come_v to_o his_o house_n than_o he_o can_v take_v shame_n to_o himself_o in_o the_o acknowledgement_n of_o his_o extortion_n if_o thou_o can_v assure_v thyself_o of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n than_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o god_n of_o love_n will_v be_v thy_o ultimate_a end_n in_o all_o thy_o duty_n and_o when_o thou_o perceive_v pride_n or_o self_n or_o vainglory_n creep_v into_o thy_o duty_n oh_o how_o be_v thy_o soul_n perplex_v and_o disturb_v but_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o thou_o be_v one_o that_o do_v that_o which_o be_v thy_o duty_n but_o be_v draw_v thereto_o by_o wicked_a end_n thou_o have_v but_o little_a ground_n to_o assure_v thyself_o that_o thou_o be_v in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n if_o thou_o be_v conversant_a in_o religious_a duty_n towards_o god_n or_o charity_n towards_o man_n and_o be_v draw_v thereto_o by_o pharisaical_a vainglorious_a end_n it_o be_v then_o high_a time_n for_o thou_o to_o look_v about_o thou_o for_o that_o hope_n thou_o have_v of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v but_o 〈◊〉_d delusion_n of_o the_o devil_n therefore_o see_v if_o it_o be_v love_n to_o god_n that_o make_v thou_o give_v to_o the_o poor_a and_o desire_v after_o communion_n with_o god_n that_o draw_v thou_o to_o hear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o to_o pray_v unto_o god_n if_o it_o be_v so_o with_o thou_o thou_o may_v go_v home_o with_o comfort_n for_o i_o dare_v warrant_v thou_o from_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o god_n have_v love_v thou_o with_o a_o everlasting_a love_n &_o that_o thou_o have_v a_o be_v in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n before_o thou_o have_v a_o be_v in_o the_o world_n for_o though_o a_o wicked_a man_n may_v be_v content_v to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o outside_n of_o duty_n for_o such_o self-end_n as_o he_o propose_v to_o himself_o yet_o there_o be_v enmity_n in_o his_o heart_n against_o god_n it_o be_v impossible_a he_o shall_v propose_v god_n glory_n as_o his_o main_a and_o ultimate_a end_n therefore_o if_o thou_o be_v bring_v to_o propose_v god_n glory_n as_o thy_o ultimate_a end_n it_o be_v a_o infallible_a sign_n that_o thou_o be_v a_o object_n of_o god_n love_n 4._o another_o sign_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n manifest_v to_o the_o creature_n be_v when_o we_o be_v fruitful_a in_o our_o place_n to_o draw_v other_o unto_o jesus_n christ_n as_o well_o as_o to_o bring_v forth_o the_o fruit_n of_o a_o holy_a conversation_n ourselves_o after_o that_o the_o spouse_n have_v be_v set_v forth_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n and_o have_v be_v beg_v a_o kiss_n of_o her_o belove_a she_o be_v so_o take_v with_o his_o love_n that_o present_o she_o cry_v out_o 4._o can_v 1.2_o 4._o draw_v i_o we_o will_v run_v after_o thou_o draw_v i_o in_o the_o singular_a we_o in_o the_o plural_a will_v run_v after_o thou_o a_o person_n that_o have_v taste_v of_o the_o sweetness_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n wait_v all_o opportunity_n to_o say_v with_o david_n come_v and_o see_v what_o god_n have_v do_v for_o my_o soul_n oh_o say_v the_o soul_n i_o be_v by_o nature_n a_o enemy_n to_o god_n and_o not_o only_o so_o but_o i_o have_v enmity_n in_o my_o heart_n against_o god_n and_o bless_v be_v his_o name_n that_o be_v please_v to_o bring_v down_o that_o enmity_n by_o shed_v abroad_o his_o love_n in_o my_o heart_n thus_o the_o object_n of_o god_n love_n will_v endeavour_v to_o bring_v other_o in_o love_n with_o this_o lovely_a object_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n in_o hosea_n 14._o after_o that_o god_n have_v in_o the_o 4._o verse_n manifest_v the_o freeness_n of_o his_o love_n to_o believer_n we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o 5._o and_o 6._o verse_n that_o god_n will_v be_v as_o the_o dew_n upon_o israel_n and_o that_o he_o shall_v grow_v as_o
