A76707	The copy of the covenant of grace With a true discovery of several false pretenders to that eternal inheritance, and of the right heir thereunto. Together with such safe instructions as will inable him to clear his title, and to make it unquestionable. Exactly evidenced by many perspicuous and unconstrained testimonies of scripture. Penned, and published upon mature deliberation, and good advise. / By Robert Bidwel, a servant, and minister of the gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

needs_o be_v so_o for_o many_o reason_n first_o because_o god_n be_v the_o only_a perfect_a substance_n of_o true_a love_n god_n be_v love_n say_v st._n john_n 1_o jo._n 4._o 16._o and_o therefore_o we_o can_v love_v god_n but_o by_o virtue_n of_o that_o love_n which_o be_v essential_o in_o god_n for_o otherwise_o we_o offer_v he_o but_o a_o shadow_n instead_o of_o a_o substance_n second_o because_o god_n be_v the_o only_a author_n and_o giver_n of_o love_n love_n be_v of_o god_n 1_o john_n 4._o 8._o and_o therefore_o unless_o god_n do_v first_o in_o love_n to_o we_o bestow_v his_o love_n upon_o we_o we_o can_v have_v no_o love_n at_o all_o to_o dispose_v of_o as_o in_o relation_n unto_o he_o three_o because_o every_o one_o that_o love_v be_v bear_v of_o god_n 1_o john_n 4._o 7._o and_o it_o will_v be_v a_o preposterous_a thing_n for_o the_o child_n to_o love_v before_o the_o father_n behold_v what_o manner_n of_o love_n the_o father_n have_v bestow_v upon_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n 1_o john_n 3._o 1._o and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o far_o great_a argument_n of_o love_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v make_v the_o son_n of_o god_n then_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o four_o because_o god_n love_n to_o we_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o our_o love_n to_o god_n we_o love_v he_o because_o he_o first_o love_v we_o say_v the_o same_o love_a and_o belove_a disciple_n 1_o john_n 4._o 19_o now_o the_o cause_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v before_o the_o effect_n and_o therefore_o unless_o god_n do_v first_o love_v we_o efficient_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o we_o shall_v love_v god_n effectual_o and_o altogether_o to_o this_o purpose_n be_v that_o in_o the_o prophet_n jeremy_n i_o have_v love_v thou_o say_v the_o lord_n with_o a_o everlasting_a love_n therefore_o with_o love_a kindness_n have_v i_o draw_v thou_o jer._n 31._o 3._o because_o the_o lord_n do_v love_v his_o church_n with_o a_o everlasting_a love_n therefore_o with_o love_a kindness_n he_o do_v draw_v she_o to_o love_v he_o again_o for_o this_o i_o humble_o conceive_v to_o be_v the_o most_o proper_a and_o suitable_a end_n of_o this_o

the_o willing_a soul_n have_v nothing_o else_o to_o do_v to_o fatisfie_v she_o full_o in_o this_o case_n but_o to_o examine_v the_o sincerity_n and_o goodness_n of_o her_o own_o love_n to_o her_o lord_n and_o thereupon_o she_o bring_v it_o to_o the_o trial_n and_o first_o she_o find_v it_o eager_a to_o enjoy_v she_o sing_v with_o that_o melodious_a prophet_n david_n as_o the_o heart_n pant_v
