heart_n make_v more_o pure_a and_o temperate_a more_o conformable_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n more_o fit_v to_o the_o right_a end_n second_o unto_o which_o if_o we_o add_v that_o it_o be_v the_o 11._o grace_n of_o god_n only_o whereof_o the_o soul_n be_v only_o capable_a that_o alter_v and_o purge_v our_o affection_n of_o their_o corrupt_a and_o pestilent_a quality_n and_o so_o turn_v they_o to_o their_o contrary_n and_o proper_a object_n as_o slavish_a fear_n into_o filial_a fear_n carnal_a love_n into_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o goodness_n etc._n etc._n by_o this_o it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o our_o affection_n proceed_v immediate_o from_o the_o soul_n and_o have_v their_o residence_n therein_o three_o if_o we_o shall_v consider_v that_o our_o most_o principal_a and_o noble_a affection_n of_o love_n and_o joy_n be_v not_o determine_v and_o perfect_v in_o this_o life_n but_o do_v accompany_v we_o after_o death_n as_o whereby_o we_o express_v our_o enjoy_n of_o eternal_a happiness_n even_o when_o the_o body_n lie_v rot_v in_o the_o grave_n this_o be_v a_o plain_a evidence_n that_o they_o arise_v out_o of_o the_o soul_n as_o their_o proper_a fountain_n chap._n four_o of_o the_o wise_a govern_n and_o trial_n of_o the_o affection_n another_o special_a help_n to_o constant_a obedience_n here_o observe_v first_o these_o general_a rule_n concern_v affection_n in_o hereof_o regard_n of_o judge_v thereof_o that_o they_o be_v not_o simple_o to_o be_v discern_v by_o condition_n themselves_o as_o be_v in_o themselves_o for_o the_o most_o part_n not_o simple_o good_a or_o evil_a but_o as_o they_o depend_v upon_o their_o true_a ground_n affect_v their_o proper_a object_n and_o aim_v at_o their_o right_a ends._n and_o therefore_o know_v we_o that_o the_o true_a ground_n ground_n of_o all_o holy_a affection_n be_v sound_a knowledge_n of_o 2._o the_o thing_n we_o affect_v and_o of_o our_o estate_n and_o right_n to_o and_o in_o the_o thing_n we_o do_v affect_v so_o that_o no_o knowledge_n no_o sound_a affection_n no_o right_a therein_o no_o hope_n for_o well-ordering_a of_o they_o second_o observe_v we_o that_o all_o holy_a affection_n object_n have_v general_o one_o main_a object_n namely_o our_o god_n in_o christ_n jesus_n and_o so_o subordinate_a the_o salvation_n of_o general_n the_o soul_n but_o particular_o each_o of_o particular_a they_o have_v it_o several_a and_o proper_a object_n whereon_o it_o be_v bend_v and_o conversant_a therein_o so_o that_o here_o the_o rule_n be_v that_o the_o particular_a object_n rule_n must_v be_v subordinate_a to_o the_o general_a and_o include_v therein_o both_o for_o direction_n rule_n and_o limitation_n also_o all_o must_v be_v from_o the_o lord_n in_o he_o and_o for_o he_o rom._n 11._o for_o the_o obtain_n of_o salvation_n the_o particular_a object_n must_v be_v the_o bound_n to_o rule_n each_o particular_a affection_n as_o shall_v appear_v afterward_o our_o hatred_n must_v proper_o be_v against_o sin_n not_o goodness_n our_o love_n to_o good_a and_o not_o evil_a etc._n etc._n our_o affection_n must_v so_o rule_n be_v square_v to_o the_o object_n as_o that_o it_o only_o level_v therein_o at_o that_o which_o be_v proportionable_a thereunto_o that_o whereas_o there_o be_v in_o the_o object_n the_o person_n or_o thing_n wherein_o the_o quality_n be_v and_o the_o quality_n itself_o and_o the_o person_n or_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v diverse_o affect_v in_o regard_n of_o the_o different_a quality_n thereof_o therefore_o the_o sincerity_n of_o the_o affection_n appear_v in_o aim_v at_o the_o quality_n and_o so_o for_o it_o respect_v the_o person_n or_o thing_n as_o to_o affect_v a_o thing_n for_o it_o goodness_n to_o hate_v it_o for_o the_o evil_n and_o yet_o so_o as_o whereas_o the_o substance_n be_v of_o god_n and_o the_o quality_n of_o satan_n therefore_o here_o may_v be_v a_o concurrence_n of_o contrary_a affection_n in_o one_o main_a object_n as_o that_o the_o person_n of_o a_o sinner_n be_v god_n workmanship_n be_v to_o be_v belove_v though_o we_o hate_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o person_n the_o good_a of_o the_o same_o person_n may_v be_v love_v though_o we_o hate_v the_o contrary_a evil_a in_o he_o and_o therefore_o whereas_o rule_n the_o ground_n next_o unto_o faith_n as_o of_o our_o worship_n of_o god_n and_o duty_n unto_o man_n be_v love_n howsoever_o our_o affection_n be_v different_a in_o themselves_o yet_o they_o must_v all_o be_v derive_v from_o this_o principal_a affection_n of_o love_n we_o must_v hope_v grieve_v rejoice_v etc._n etc._n because_o we_o love_v and_o love_n must_v be_v the_o end_n and_o aim_v of_o ●ll_o therefore_o we_o be_v angry_a we_o fear_v we_o hope_v we_o joy_v that_o we_o may_v still_o love_v and_o make_v better_a way_n for_o the_o manifestation_n thereof_o and_o so_o as_o love_n be_v a_o affection_n rule_n that_o be_v the_o ground_n and_o end_n of_o all_o other_o affection_n and_o therefore_o all_o must_v be_v subordinate_a thereunto_o so_o also_o be_v there_o a_o subordination_n of_o other_o contrary_a affection_n one_o to_o another_o that_o they_o may_v end_v in_o this_o love_n as_o hatred_n be_v subordinate_a to_o love_v grief_n to_o joy_n fear_v to_o hope_n etc._n etc._n as_o be_v not_o contrary_n in_o diverse_a subject_n but_o all_o the_o same_o general_a as_o no_o otherwise_o respect_v diverse_a subordinate_a object_n but_o that_o they_o aim_v at_o one_o principal_a as_o further_a each_o other_o in_o their_o particular_a contrary_n and_o different_a object_n to_o that_o one_o principal_a namely_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o salvation_n of_o the_o soul_n hereby_o shall_v we_o know_v rule_n the_o sincerity_n of_o our_o affection_n if_o they_o be_v proportionable_a to_o the_o object_n and_o measure_v thereof_o as_o if_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o time_n be_v grievous_a and_o extraordinary_a so_o our_o grief_n be_v suitable_a if_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n and_o his_o deliverance_n be_v wonderful_a so_o our_o joy_n and_o thankfulness_n be_v answerable_a and_o this_o may_v serve_v for_o the_o just_a conviction_n of_o our_o time_n first_o in_o that_o though_o 1_o there_o be_v some_o fear_n of_o god_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o proportionable_a to_o the_o mean_n we_o have_v be_v better_o teach_v then_o to_o fear_n god_n so_o little_a we_o have_v have_v great_a judgement_n then_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o secure_a second_o in_o that_o we_o 2._o set_v not_o our_o affection_n high_a enough_o in_o good_a thing_n and_o yet_o rack_v they_o too_o far_o in_o evil_a thing_n we_o fear_v not_o god_n enough_o and_o yet_o fear_v the_o world_n too_o much_o we_o love_v the_o world_n too_o scant_o and_o love_v our_o profit_n too_o excessive_o and_o so_o there_o be_v a_o jar_n in_o both_o our_o fear_n in_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v defective_a in_o worldly_a thing_n excessive_a so_o in_o this_o proportion_n if_o we_o love_v god_n without_o limitation_n as_o the_o most_o excellent_a object_n and_o our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o this_o be_v to_o proportion_v the_o affection_n to_o the_o object_n our_o affection_n be_v good_a servant_n but_o bad_a master_n limitation_n that_o be_v they_o must_v not_o bear_v rule_n but_o still_o be_v in_o subjection_n to_o their_o several_a limitation_n of_o the_o word_n our_o calling_n the_o

even_o the_o best_a must_v ●hus_o be_v try_v if_o they_o make_v ●s_n fit_a for_o god_n service_n ●s_a anger_n if_o we_o can_v fall_v to_o ●ray_v zeal_n if_o we_o can_v re●it_v private_a offence_n etc._n etc._n first_o i_o say_v our_o affection_n word_n must_v be_v inform_v and_o limit_v by_o the_o word_n that_o be_v whereas_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v we_o a_o sure_a word_n both_o as_o a_o

and_o not_o run_v before_o our_o knowledge_n we_o first_o know_v what_o to_o love_v and_o then_o affect_v the_o same_o and_o if_o our_o affection_n be_v proportionable_a to_o our_o knowledge_n we_o
