hatred_n of_o sin_n now_o my_o friend_n see_v if_o it_o be_v so_o with_o you_o do_v your_o love_n to_o god_n thus_o manifest_v itself_o but_o if_o it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o thou_o instead_o of_o hate_v sin_n you_o love_v it_o instead_o of_o make_v communion_n with_o god_n your_o end_n in_o duty_n you_o make_v self_n pride_n and_o vain_a glory_n your_o end_n if_o instead_o of_o let_v your_o thought_n dwell_v upon_o god_n you_o be_v dwell_v upon_o the_o world_n and_o vanity_n you_o can_v have_v but_o little_a wellgrounded_n hope_n that_o you_o love_v god_n and_o consequent_o that_o god_n love_v you_o for_o say_v the_o apostle_n we_o love_v he_o because_o he_o first_o love_v we_o in_o which_o word_n we_o have_v first_o a_o effect_n second_o a_o cause_n the_o effect_n be_v our_o love_n to_o god_n we_o love_v he_o second_o the_o cause_n god_n love_v we_o and_o say_v jesus_n christ_n the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o father_n i_o love_v they_o that_o love_v i_o we_o must_v not_o think_v the_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o that_o scripture_n be_v to_o make_v our_o love_n to_o god_n the_o cause_n of_o god_n love_n to_o we_o but_o the_o evidence_n of_o it_o now_o my_o friend_n i_o beseech_v you_o gather_v up_o all_o again_o and_o see_v whether_o you_o can_v experience_n in_o your_o own_o soul_n that_o you_o have_v a_o true_a knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o the_o gift_n and_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o whether_o this_o love_n of_o god_n do_v constrain_v thou_o to_o duty_n and_o whether_o thou_o be_v a_o fruit-baring_a christian_a and_o do_v in_o the_o place_n in_o which_o god_n have_v put_v thou_o endeavour_v to_o bring_v other_o to_o god_n and_o examine_v thy_o unsatiable_a desire_n after_o more_o of_o this_o love_n of_o god_n and_o examine_v whither_o god_n do_v sanctify_v affliction_n unto_o thou_o and_o give_v thou_o communion_n with_o himself_o in_o duty_n and_o be_v thou_o make_v willing_a to_o suffer_v for_o god_n and_o be_v thou_o make_v to_o hate_v sin_n and_o have_v god_n destroy_v thy_o enemy_n which_o be_v thy_o sin_n and_o see_v if_o thou_o have_v receive_v spiritual_a life_n from_o god_n and_o have_v a_o sincere_a love_n to_o god_n now_o to_o conclude_v if_o thou_o find_v none_o of_o these_o mark_n in_o thy_o soul_n of_o god_n love_n thy_o case_n be_v sad_a i_o will_v not_o be_v in_o thy_o condition_n for_o ten_o thousand_o world_n yet_o though_o i_o will_v discourage_v thou_o from_o go_v on_o in_o thy_o sin_n because_o a_o constant_a persist_v in_o a_o course_n of_o sin_n be_v a_o dreadful_a sign_n of_o god_n hatred_n yet_o i_o dare_v not_o discourage_v thou_o in_o thy_o attendance_n on_o the_o mean_n of_o grace_n because_o those_o be_v god_n lattice_n through_o which_o he_o do_v flourish_v himself_o
