no_o a._n no_o he_o prefer_v mankind_n before_o all_o his_o other_o creature_n for_o which_o cause_n god_n be_v call_v philanthropos_n that_o be_v a_o lover_n of_o man_n and_o this_o appear_v by_o three_o effect_n of_o his_o love_n 4.24_o 1_o he_o make_v he_o according_a to_o his_o own_o image_n that_o be_v in_o righteousness_n and_o true_a holiness_n 2_o he_o make_v he_o lord_n over_o all_o his_o creature_n psal._n 8.5_o 3_o he_o give_v his_o own_o son_n to_o death_n for_o his_o ransom_n q._n do_v god_n love_v all_o man_n alike_o a._n no_o for_o he_o love_v his_o elect_a better_a than_o the_o reprobate_n for_o the_o elect_v he_o call_v effectual_o by_o his_o spirit_n in_o their_o heart_n when_o he_o call_v other_o but_o by_o the_o outward_a voice_n of_o the_o gospel_n etc._n etc._n again_o among_o the_o elect_a themselves_o some_o be_v actuallie_o wicked_a and_o not_o yet_o reconcile_v nor_o call_v as_o be_v paul_n before_o his_o conversion_n but_o the_o rest_n be_v call_v and_o already_o make_v holy_a by_o faith_n in_o christ_n as_o paul_n be_v after_o his_o conversion_n and_o of_o these_o he_o love_v the_o latter_a sort_n with_o a_o great_a measure_n of_o love_n then_o the_o former_a as_o the_o scripture_n testify_v in_o pro._n 8.17_o q._n what_o manner_n of_o love_n do_v god_n bear_v to_o his_o elect_a a._n it_o have_v three_o adjunct_n or_o property_n 1_o it_o be_v free_a without_o desert_n 2_o it_o be_v great_a without_o comparison_n 3_o it_o be_v constant_a without_o any_o end_n q._n how_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n say_v to_o be_v free_a a._n it_o be_v free_a two_o way_n 1_o because_o nothing_o cause_v god_n to_o love_v we_o but_o his_o own_o goodness_n and_o grace_n &_o therefore_o saint_n john_n say_v 4.7_o that_o his_o love_n be_v before_o we_o 2_o it_o be_v free_a because_o god_n in_o love_v we_o regard_v nothing_o that_o belong_v to_o his_o own_o commodity_n for_o as_o david_n say_v 16.2_o he_o have_v no_o need_n of_o our_o good_n but_o only_o to_o our_o own_o salvation_n he_o love_v us._n q._n wherein_o do_v the_o greatness_n of_o god_n love_n appear_v to_o his_o elect_a a._n it_o appear_v two_o way_n 1_o by_o the_o mean_n which_o god_n use_v to_o save_v we_o by_o that_o be_v the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n 3.16_o and_o so_o saint_n john_n set_v forth_o his_o love_n when_o he_o say_v outo_n sic_fw-la that_o be_v so_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v so_o vehement_o so_o ardent_o so_o earnest_o so_o wonderful_o do_v he_o love_v we_o that_o for_o our_o salvation_n he_o spare_v not_o his_o own_o only_o beget_v son_n but_o give_v he_o to_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n for_o our_o salvation_n q._n what_o else_o do_v set_v forth_o the_o greatness_n of_o god_n love_n unto_o us._n answer_n the_o consideration_n of_o our_o own_o self_n for_o he_o do_v not_o only_o geve_v his_o only_o son_n to_o death_n for_o we_o but_o it_o be_v for_o we_o be_v his_o enemy_n and_o this_o circumstance_n be_v use_v by_o the_o apostle_n to_o express_v the_o same_o 5.7.8_o q._n where_o find_v you_o it_o write_v that_o god_n love_n be_v constant_a and_o perpetual_a a._n that_o be_v manifest_o show_v in_o these_o scripture_n follow_v hose_n 11.9_o john_n 13.1_o rom._n 11.29_o for_o as_o god_n be_v unchangeable_a in_o his_o essence_n and_o nature_n so_o be_v he_o unchangeable_a in_o his_o love_n which_o be_v his_o essence_n and_o nature_n and_o therefore_o be_v god_n call_v love_n in_o the_o scripture_n 4.8_o the_o use_n of_o god_n love_n q._n what_o use_n must_v we_o make_v of_o god_n love_n a._n 1_o it_o fill_v our_o heart_n with_o gladness_n when_o we_o understand_v that_o our_o god_n be_v so_o love_v &_o love_v itself_o and_o what_o be_v this_o but_o the_o begin_n of_o eternal_a life_n 17.3_o if_o eternal_a life_n consist_v in_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o god_n as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n say_v 2_o out_o of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o this_o love_n as_o out_o of_o a_o fountain_n spring_v the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o our_o neighbour_n for_o s._n john_n say_v he_o that_o love_v not_o know_v not_o god_n for_o god_n be_v love_n 3_o when_o we_o consider_v that_o god_n love_v all_o his_o creature_n which_o he_o make_v it_o shall_v teach_v we_o not_o to_o abuse_v any_o of_o the_o creature_n to_o serve_v our_o lust_n and_o beastly_a affection_n for_o god_n will_v punish_v they_o which_o abuse_v his_o belove_a as_o he_o punish_v the_o scotfree_a glutton_n 16_o which_o abuse_v the_o creature_n of_o god_n 4_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o love_v all_o the_o creature_n even_o the_o base_a of_o all_o see_v that_o god_n love_v they_o and_o for_o the_o love_n he_o bear_v to_o we_o he_o make_v they_o and_o we_o must_v if_o we_o love_v they_o for_o god_n sake_n use_v they_o spare_o moderate_o and_o equal_o or_o justly_o to_o this_o end_n be_v we_o command_v to_o let_v our_o cattle_n rest_v upon_o the_o saboth_n day_n as_o well_o as_o ourselves_o to_o this_o end_n we_o be_v forbid_v to_o kill_v the_o damn_n upon_o her_o neste_a and_o to_o this_o end_n be_v we_o forbid_v to_o mussel_n the_o ox_n mouth_n which_o tread_v out_o the_o corn_n 5_o we_o be_v teach_v from_o hence_o to_o love_v mankind_n better_o than_o all_o other_o creature_n because_o god_n do_v so_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v not_o spare_v any_o thing_n that_o we_o have_v that_o may_v make_v for_o the_o safety_n of_o his_o body_n and_o the_o salvation_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o for_o this_o cause_n be_v we_o command_v to_o love_v our_o enemy_n &_o to_o do_v they_o good_a be_v cause_n our_o good_a god_n do_v so_o 6_o from_o god_n love_n we_o learn_v to_o prefer_v the_o godly_a brethren_n and_o those_o which_o profess_v sincere_o the_o same_o religion_n that_o we_o profess_v before_o other_o man_n because_o god_n love_n be_v great_a to_o his_o elect_a then_o to_o the_o reprobate_n 6.10_o and_o this_o do_v the_o apostle_n teach_v us._n 7_o whereas_o god_n love_n be_v free_o bestow_v upon_o we_o it_o teach_v we_o to_o be_v humble_a and_o to_o attribute_v no_o part_n of_o our_o salvation_n to_o ourselves_o but_o only_o to_o the_o free_a love_n of_o god_n 8_o from_o hence_o arise_v the_o certainty_n of_o our_o salvation_n for_o if_o god_n love_n be_v so_o free_a and_o great_a when_o we_o be_v his_o enemy_n much_o more_o will_v it_o be_v so_o and_o constant_a also_o to_o we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n by_o jesus_n christ._n of_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n q._n what_o do_v the_o scripture_n understande_v by_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n a._n it_o be_v his_o mind_n and_o will_n always_o most_o ready_a to_o succour_v and_o help_v he_o that_o be_v in_o misery_n q._n some_o say_v that_o mercy_n be_v a_o grief_n and_o sorrow_n of_o the_o mind_n conceive_v at_o another_o misery_n and_o therefore_o that_o mercy_n can_v proper_o be_v attribute_v to_o god_n because_o in_o god_n be_v no_o passion_n nor_o grief_n a._n indeed_o in_o we_o it_o may_v be_v such_o a_o thing_n but_o not_o in_o god_n and_o mercy_n be_v first_o in_o god_n and_o from_o he_o be_v derive_v to_o we_o and_o therefore_o god_n be_v call_v the_o father_n of_o mercy_n 1.3_o and_o when_o it_o come_v to_o we_o it_o be_v match_v with_o many_o infirmity_n and_o passion_n but_o it_o be_v improper_o attribute_v to_o god_n from_o ourselves_o as_o though_o it_o be_v first_o in_o us._n q._n declare_v then_o brief_o what_o thing_n of_o perfection_n be_v signify_v by_o this_o word_n mercy_n in_o god_n a._n by_o the_o name_n of_o mercy_n two_o thing_n be_v proper_o signify_v in_o god_n 1_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n ready_a to_o help_v and_o succour_v 2_o the_o help_n and_o succour_n or_o pity_v itself_o that_o be_v show_v q._n where_o in_o the_o scripture_n be_v mercy_n take_v the_o first_o way_n a._n those_o place_n of_o scripture_n be_v so_o to_o be_v understand_v wherein_o god_n do_v call_v himself_o merciful_a and_o say_v that_o he_o be_v of_o much_o mercy_n that_o be_v he_o be_v of_o such_o a_o nature_n as_o be_v most_o ready_a to_o free_v we_o from_o our_o evil_n of_o mercy_n in_o the_o other_o sense_n that_o be_v be_v put_v for_o the_o effect_n of_o mercy_n mention_n be_v make_v in_o rom._n 9.15_o where_o it_o be_v say_v 9.15_o that_o god_n will_v have_v mercy_n on_o who_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n that_o be_v he_o will_v call_v who_o he_o will_v he_o will_v justify_v who_o he_o will_v he_o will_v pardon_v who_o he_o will_v and_o he_o will_v deliver_v and_o save_v from_o all_o their_o misery_n and_o evil_n who_o he_o will_v and_o these_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o god_n mercy_n
