which_o be_v intimate_v in_o the_o text_n if_o we_o love_v he_o we_o shall_v keep_v his_o word_n but_o if_o we_o love_v he_o not_o we_o will_v not_o keep_v his_o word_n it_o be_v want_n of_o love_n to_o christ_n that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o abound_a of_o every_o sin_n for_o if_o we_o do_v love_v he_o we_o shall_v keep_v his_o command_n which_o be_v the_o second_o particular_a second_o what_o it_o be_v to_o keep_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n first_o there_o be_v a_o natural_a and_o mental_a keep_n of_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n and_o so_o we_o must_v keep_v they_o that_o be_v remember_v his_o word_n his_o promise_n counsel_n and_o appointment_n the_o memory_n be_v man_n storehouse_n or_o cabinet_n that_o shall_v be_v keep_v sacred_a for_o the_o truth_n of_o christ_n so_o the_o disciple_n keep_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n when_o they_o remember_v his_o say_n and_o david_n ps_n 119.93_o i_o will_v never_o forget_v thy_o precept_n for_o by_o they_o thou_o have_v quicken_v i_o i.e._n i_o will_v keep_v thy_o precept_n for_o what_o we_o forget_v we_o lose_v and_o what_o we_o remember_v we_o keep_v and_o thus_o as_o friend_n take_v pleasure_n to_o look_v sometime_o on_o the_o love-token_n of_o their_o absent_a friend_n so_o may_v we_o have_v singular_a comfort_n and_o refreshment_n to_o see_v the_o heart_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o counsel_n promise_n and_o appointment_n leave_v with_o we_o second_o there_o be_v a_o evangilical_a and_o practical_a keep_n of_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n when_o we_o do_v believe_v promise_n and_o obey_v command_n promise_v not_o believe_v and_o precept_n not_o obey_v be_v as_o water_v spill_v on_o the_o earth_n beside_o the_o vessel_n that_o shall_v receive_v it_o heb._n 4.2_o but_o when_o they_o be_v

it_o then_o we_o keep_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n when_o we_o believe_v his_o promise_n observe_v his_o precept_n in_o all_o our_o conversation_n and_o walk_v by_o his_o appointment_n and_o institution_n in_o all_o our_o duty_n three_o why_o it_o be_v their_o property_n and_o duty_n that_o love_n jesus_n christ_n to_o keep_v his_o word_n first_o because_o true_a love_n be_v comprehensive_a he_o that_o love_v christ_n true_o love_v also_o all_o that_o be_v he_o he_o that_o love_v he_o that_o beget_v love_v he_o also_o that_o be_v beget_v the_o near_a any_o thing_n be_v to_o christ_n the_o better_a it_o be_v belove_v and_o then_o we_o love_v the_o word_n when_o we_o keep_v it_o as_o a_o special_a pledge_n of_o his_o love_n to_o have_v his_o word_n and_o a_o heart_n to_o keep_v it_o be_v a_o double_a blessing_n and_o indeed_o such_o a_o gift_n be_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n as_o worldly_a to_o be_v love_v for_o itself_o and_o keep_v for_o the_o giver_n sake_n second_o because_o true_a love_n be_v operative_a it_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o gospel-obedience_n 2_o cor._n 5.14_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n constrain_v we_o where_o there_o be_v the_o disposition_n of_o a_o son_n there_o will_v be_v obedience_n to_o the_o father_n command_n so_o where_o there_o be_v spiritual_a love_n to_o christ_n it_o will_v set_v the_o soul_n on_o work_n and_o quicken_v it_o to_o keep_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n as_o be_v say_v of_o faith_n show_v i_o thy_o faith_n by_o thy_o work_n so_o show_v thy_o love_n to_o christ_n by_o thy_o work_n as_o faith_n without_o work_n be_v dead_a so_o be_v love_n without_o obedience_n three_o because_o keep_v the_o word_n of_o christ_n give_v the_o clear_a and_o sure_a testimony_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o our_o love_n to_o jesus_n christ_n probatio_fw-la dilectionis_fw-la est_fw-la exhibitio_fw-la operis_fw-la obedience_n be_v the_o most_o lively_a testification_n of_o love_n as_o christ_n say_v to_o peter_n love_v thou_o i_o etc._n etc._n show_v it_o in_o this_o in_o do_v thy_o duty_n feed_v my_o sheep_n so_o christ_n tell_v we_o in_o the_o text_n where_o the_o fire_n of_o love_n be_v in_o the_o breast_n there_o the_o flame_n of_o duty_n and_o service_n be_v in_o the_o hand_n joh._n 15.14_o you_o be_v my_o friend_n if_o you_o do_v whatsoever_o i_o command_v you_o in_o the_o 1_o joh._n 5.3_o in_o this_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n use_v 1_o for_o exhortation_n first_o to_o a_o mental_a keep_n of_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n according_a to_o that_o word_n heb._n 2.1_o we_o ought_v therefore_o to_o give_v the_o more_o diligent_a heed_n to_o the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v receive_v lest_o at_o any_o time_n we_o let_v they_o slip_v and_o that_o we_o

other_o say_v he_o sin_v in_o number_v all_o age_n whereas_o he_o be_v to_o number_v but_o from_o twenty_o year_n but_o these_o be_v conjectural_a reason_n i_o conceive_v the_o sin_n of_o david_n be_v

that_o i_o may_v know_v the_o number_n of_o my_o people_n v._o ●_o david_n heart_n be_v lift_v up_o with_o pride_n and_o creature-confidence_n he_o begin_v to_o boast_v of_o the_o multitude_n of_o

will_v teach_v you_o to_o number_v the_o people_n by_o lessen_v the_o number_n of_o your_o people_n now_o the_o burden_n of_o his_o sin_n do_v add_v much_o to_o the_o burden_n of_o this_o heavy_a

great_o in_o that_o which_o i_o have_v do_v now_o i_o beseech_v thou_o take_v away_o the_o iniquity_n of_o thy_o servant_n for_o i_o have_v do_v very_o foolish_o if_o david_n have_v be_v to_o suffer_v this_o great_a punishment_n out_o of_o love_n to_o god_n or_o for_o a_o good_a conscience_n he_o will_v not_o have_v be_v so_o distract_v there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o strait_n in_o scripture_n some_o suffer_v for_o god_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o there_o be_v strait_n suffer_v for_o sin_n 1._o there_o be_v strait_n suffer_v for_o god_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n heb._n 11.36_o
