he_o in_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o himself_o and_o those_o heavenly_a embracement_n i_o desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v say_v s._n paul_n why_o and_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n to_o have_v the_o person_n of_o christ_n but_o how_o many_o good_a people_n be_v there_o that_o can_v desire_v to_o be_v dissolve_v why_o because_o there_o be_v a_o want_n in_o their_o love_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ-possible_o then_o you_o see_v by_o all_o these_o thing_n it_o be_v possible_a that_o a_o good_a man_n christ_n own_a and_o best_a disciple_n may_v be_v want_v in_o their_o love_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n but_o five_o you_o will_v say_v suppose_v that_o my_o heart_n be_v not_o draw_v out_o in_o love_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n but_o my_o love_n be_v rather_o fix_v upon_o christ_n benefit_n spiritual_a benefit_n be_v not_o that_o good_a be_v it_o not_o good_a that_o i_o shall_v have_v love_n for_o christ_n in_o reference_n unto_o the_o benefit_n that_o i_o have_v from_o he_o good_a yes_o i_o sit_v down_o under_o his_o shadow_n with_o great_a delight_n say_v the_o spouse_n and_o his_o fruit_n be_v sweet_a unto_o my_o taste_n fruit_n that_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o justification_n the_o fruit_n of_o sanctification_n of_o consolation_n and_o his_o fruit_n be_v sweet_a unto_o my_o taste_n it_o be_v good_a without_o all_o doubt_n that_o our_o heart_n shall_v be_v draw_v out_o to_o christ_n by_o occasion_n even_o of_o his_o benefit_n but_o i_o pray_v do_v mistake_v i_o i_o grant_v therefore_o 1._o it_o be_v good_a and_o a_o lawful_a thing_n to_o love_n christ_n in_o reference_n to_o his_o benefit_n but_o 2._o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o love_v christ_n person_n to_o have_v our_o heart_n draw_v out_o with_o love_n to_o the_o very_a person_n of_o christ_n but_o 3._o the_o excellency_n of_o christ_n person_n be_v not_o the_o object_n of_o my_o faith_n but_o christ_n crucify_v but_o 4._o though_o christ_n crucify_v be_v the_o object_n of_o my_o faith_n yet_o the_o personal_a excellency_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o object_n of_o my_o love_n yea_o it_o be_v a_o more_o excellent_a thing_n yet_o to_o love_v the_o person_n of_o christ_n than_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n a_o more_o excellent_a thing_n to_o have_v my_o heart_n draw_v out_o in_o love_n to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n than_o to_o have_v my_o heart_n draw_v out_o in_o love_n to_o he_o for_o his_o benefit_n but_o you_o will_v say_v wherein_o do_v our_o love_n to_o the_o very_a person_n of_o christ_n exceed_v or_o excel_v our_o love_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o benefit_n though_o spiritual_a many_o way_n first_o of_o all_o if_o your_o heart_n the_o draw_v out_o in_o love_n to_o the_o very_a person_n of_o christ_n by_o your_o love_v he_o you_o make_v he_o your_o own_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o other_o love_n by_o my_o love_a gold_n i_o do_v make_v it_o my_o own_o by_o my_o love_a silver_n i_o do_v make_v it_o my_o own_o but_o by_o love_v his_o person_n i_o make_v he_o my_o own_o it_o be_v not_o so_o in_o regard_n of_o benefit_n by_o my_o love_v the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n the_o comfort_n from_o christ_n i_o do_v make_v christ_n my_o own_o but_o by_o my_o love_n unto_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n i_o make_v christ_n my_o own_o 2._o the_o less_o of_o self_n in_o your_o love_n to_o christ_n the_o more_o pure_a and_o clean_a it_o be_v and_o so_o the_o better_a now_o if_o your_o heart_n be_v draw_v out_o in_o love_n to_o the_o benefit_n of_o christ_n your_o love_n be_v more_o selfish_n you_o love_v he_o in_o reference_n unto_o
