hater_n of_o he_o now_o because_o we_o can_v conceive_v any_o thing_n of_o god_n almost_o but_o in_o some_o proportion_n that_o we_o find_v in_o the_o creature_n to_o he_o remove_v all_o

so_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o unregenerate_a man_n butto_fw-mi displease_v god_n their_o best_a action_n stink_n in_o his_o nostril_n the_o prayer_n of_o the_o wicked_a be_v abomination_n to_o the_o lord_n in_o the_o proverbes_n my_o soul_n abbor_v your_o new_a moon_n and_o appoint_a feast_n they_o be_v a_o trouble_n unto_o i_o i_o be_o weary_a to_o bear_v they_o as_o the_o lord_n himself_o complain_v of_o the_o jew_n by_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n 1._o 14._o but_o my_o purpose_n be_v not_o to_o show_v how_o much_o the_o lord_n be_v displease_v with_o they_o because_o i_o shall_v have_v better_a opportunity_n for_o that_o in_o the_o next_o point_n but_o how_o much_o they_o displease_v the_o lord_n it_o be_v their_o whole_a course_n and_o study_v so_o to_o do_v almost_o i_o know_v say_v moses_n to_o the_o israelite_n that_o evil_a will_v befall_v you_o in_o the_o latter_a day_n because_o you_o will_v do_v evil_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o provoke_v

god_n be_v term_v in_o the_o same_o book_n 15._o 30._o his_o provocation_n wherewith_o he_o provoke_v the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n to_o anger_n and_o in_o the_o second_o book_n 17._o 17._o where_o you_o have_v a_o catalogue_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o israel_n this_o conclude_v all_o they_o cause_v their_o son_n and_o their_o daughter_n to_o pass_v through_o the_o fire_n and_o use_v divination_n and_o enchantment_n and_o sell_v themselves_o to_o do_v evil_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o lord_n to_o provoke_v he_o to_o anger_n therefore_o the_o lord_n be_v very_o angry_a with_o israel_n and_o remove_v they_o out_o of_o his_o sight_n out_o of_o which_o place_n you_o may_v see_v what_o be_v the_o issue_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o wicked_a what_o the_o scope_n upon_o which_o their_o wit_n and_o will_v and_o way_n be_v whole_o set_v namely_o to_o provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o anger_n and_o that_o sin_n in_o this_o respect_n be_v enmity_n to_o god_n and_o sinner_n enemy_n i_o think_v it_o be_v plain_a enough_o for_o be_v not_o this_o enmity_n to_o do_v all_o thing_n that_o we_o know_v will_v thwart_v and_o cross_v a_o man_n and_o to_o omit_v and_o neglect_v any_o thing_n that_o may_v in_o any_o sort_n be_v to_o his_o like_n to_o delight_v to_o grieve_v and_o vex_v and_o fret_v he_o which_o the_o wicked_a do_v in_o sin_v against_o god_n second_o i_o may_v further_o illustrate_v this_o from_o another_o peevishness_n which_o the_o apostle_n paul_n have_v observe_v in_o our_o nature_n which_o be_v such_o that_o the_o law_n of_o god_n which_o shall_v be_v a_o bridle_n to_o restrain_v and_o curb_v our_o lawless_a luft_n be_v a_o spur_n to_o provoke_v and_o prick_v it_o forward_o to_o run_v more_o violent_o the_o more_o god_n forbid_v sin_n the_o more_o we_o bid_v for_o it_o the_o more_o greedy_o we_o desire_v it_o sin_n say_v the_o apostle_n rom._n 7._o 8._o take_v occasion_n by_o the_o commandment_n wrought_v in_o i_o all_o manner_n of_o concupiscence_n for_o without_o the_o law_n sin_n be_v dead_a for_o i_o be_v alive_a without_o the_o law_n once_o but_o when_o the_o commandment_n come_v sin_n revive_v and_o i_o die_v and_o the_o commandment_n which_o be_v ordain_v to_o life_n i_o find_v to_o be_v unto_o death_n for_o sin_n take_v occasion_n by_o the_o commandment_n deceive_v i_o and_o by_o it_o slay_v i_o as_o if_o we_o do_v sin_n upon_o purpose_n so_o much_o the_o more_o because_o it_o be_v offensive_a to_o god_n to_o displease_v he_o and_o as_o you_o have_v it_o even_o now_o to_o provoke_v he_o to_o anger_n and_o if_o god_n have_v need_v to_o deal_v with_o we_o as_o he_o do_v in_o the_o story_n who_o be_v wont_a to_o command_v the_o contrary_a when_o he_o will_v have_v any_o thing_n do_v because_o he_o know_v they_o will_v cross_v he_o and_o as_o the_o philosopher_n cozen_v alexander_n who_o think_v that_o he_o will_v make_v suit_n to_o he_o to_o restore_v his_o country_n which_o he_o have_v ruin_v from_o which_o he_o be_v utter_o averse_a when_o he_o see_v he_o come_v towards_o he_o swear_v he_o will_v deny_v whatsoever_o he_o shall_v desire_v and_o he_o therefore_o demand_v the_o clean_a contrary_n of_o what_o he_o intend_v that_o he_o will_v not_o restore_v his_o country_n and_o by_o that_o wile_n speed_v in_o his_o suit_n because_o he_o do_v not_o speed_v three_o i_o may_v further_o press_v this_o because_o our_o disposition_n be_v such_o natural_o towards_o god_n for_o the_o most_o part_n as_o we_o will_v be_v most_o refractory_a in_o those_o thing_n which_o he_o most_o earnest_o require_v at_o our_o hand_n if_o there_o be_v any_o service_n more_o pure_a to_o he_o any_o performance_n of_o we_o more_o precious_a than_o other_o in_o his_o sight_n any_o duty_n that_o he_o delight_v in_o we_o be_v more_o awkward_a and_o untoward_a to_o that_o as_o if_o we_o do_v it_o of_o purpose_n to_o displease_v he_o and_o to_o provoke_v he_o to_o anger_n and_o i_o can_v instance_n here_o particular_o in_o the_o

and_o first_o you_o may_v easy_o understand_v it_o out_o of_o the_o general_a nature_n of_o sin_n which_o stand_v so_o opposite_a to_o god_n the_o love_n of_o it_o must_v needs_o argue_v the_o

which_o i_o mention_v before_o first_o comparative_a hatred_n which_o be_v when_o something_o be_v prefer_v before_o god_n in_o our_o affection_n and_o prize_v above_o he_o and_o this_o be_v do_v in_o

we_o be_v beside_o the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o shall_v make_v we_o his_o servant_n we_o will_v hate_v he_o we_o must_v be_v so_o far_o from_o serve_v any_o thing_n before_o he_o that_o we_o have_v

and_o so_o discover_v themselves_o and_o in_o particular_a because_o of_o the_o infinite_a eminency_n of_o god_n goodness_n above_o any_o other_o thing_n and_o so_o of_o our_o obligation_n to_o

easy_a to_o be_v observe_v in_o all_o natural_a man_n towards_o god_n for_o whereas_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o love_n wheresoever_o it_o be_v root_v to_o have_v the_o command_n of_o the_o whole_a
