and_o profaneness_n and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o say_v they_o love_v god_n be_v it_o possible_a that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o love_n of_o sin_n shall_v ever_o stand_v together_o proceed_v we_o now_o to_o some_o reason_n and_o direction_n for_o the_o attain_n of_o this_o grace_n and_o first_o let_v we_o not_o rest_v in_o love_n a_o inferior_a degree_n of_o this_o affection_n but_o rise_v up_o therein_o and_o labour_n that_o it_o may_v have_v full_a assent_n there_o be_v degree_n of_o assent_n as_o when_o we_o love_v god_n because_o we_o love_v ourselves_o a_o natural_a man_n may_v do_v so_o but_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o if_o we_o love_v god_n for_o ourselves_o we_o make_v ourselves_o our_o god_n where_o the_o heart_n be_v true_o set_v upon_o god_n it_o delight_v in_o he_o only_o for_o himself_o and_o take_v comfort_n in_o no_o condition_n further_o than_o he_o see_v god_n in_o it_o he_o never_o affect_v christ_n in_o truth_n that_o be_v more_o take_v with_o the_o benefit_n and_o privilege_n that_o come_v by_o he_o than_o with_o the_o excellency_n of_o his_o person_n what_o friend_n will_v be_v content_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v only_o love_v he_o because_o he_o do_v he_o good_a we_o must_v love_v ourselves_o and_o all_o other_o thing_n in_o and_o for_o god_n moses_n and_o paul_n rejoice_v to_o honour_v the_o lord_n though_o themselves_o be_v accurf_v and_o deprive_v of_o happiness_n and_o if_o we_o can_v so_o love_n christ_n as_o not_o to_o desire_v heaven_n itself_o if_o christ_n be_v not_o there_o this_o be_v true_o to_o affect_v he_o for_o indeed_o if_o christ_n be_v not_o there_o heaven_n shall_v not_o be_v heaven_n unto_o we_o we_o must_v love_v our_o happiness_n no_o further_o than_o we_o can_v have_v with_o it_o god_n good_a leave_n and_o like_n again_o we_o shall_v know_v direction_n our_o love_n to_o god_n whether_o it_o be_v sincere_a or_o no_o by_o our_o abstain_v from_o sin_n if_o we_o avoid_v evil_a for_o fear_n of_o punishment_n or_o hope_v of_o reward_n only_o our_o love_n be_v unsound_a but_o when_o we_o so_o love_v god_n that_o we_o will_v not_o do_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o his_o spirit_n it_o be_v a_o special_a sign_n such_o a_o man_n if_o there_o be_v no_o hell_n to_o punish_v he_o nor_o place_n of_o bliss_n to_o receive_v he_o yet_o will_v not_o break_v with_o god_n upon_o any_o term_n for_o the_o mean_n to_o attain_v god_n this_o love_n we_o must_v in_o the_o first_o place_n labour_n for_o a_o humble_a &_o empty_a soul_n bless_v be_v the_o poor_a in_o spirit_n say_v christ_n for_o such_o only_o apprehend_v their_o misery_n without_o christ_n and_o their_o need_n of_o he_o which_o occasion_n a_o holy_a rejoice_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o unfeigned_a love_n to_o he_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o some_o be_v so_o ravish_v with_o the_o favour_n of_o the_o almighty_a be_v it_o not_o for_o that_o they_o be_v so_o former_o sting_v with_o the_o sight_n and_o feel_n of_o their_o sin_n the_o more_o love_a christian_a ever_o the_o more_o humble_a christian._n mark_v it_o when_o you_o will_v and_o you_o shall_v find_v this_o disposition_n manifest_a in_o every_o true_a convert_n they_o be_v daily_o humble_v themselves_o for_o the_o least_o offence_n a_o second_o direction_n be_v to_o taste_v of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ._n when_o the_o beam_n of_o his_o favour_n once_o shine_v into_o our_o heart_n we_o can_v but_o reflect_v upon_o he_o again_o we_o love_v he_o say_v the_o apostle_n because_o he_o love_v we_o first_o marry_o therefore_o love_v much_o because_o she_o have_v experience_n of_o god_n love_n in_o forgive_a her_o many_o sin_n when_o a_o break_a humble_a soul_n true_o savour_v the_o goodness_n of_o the_o lord_n it_o can_v but_o be_v inflame_v with_o desire_n after_o he_o a_o christian_a after_o he_o have_v have_v a_o taste_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n have_v another_o manner_n of_o judgement_n of_o justification_n than_o before_o taste_v and_o see_v say_v david_n how_o good_a and_o gracious_a the_o lord_n be_v 34._o a_o man_n that_o relish_v the_o sweetness_n of_o a_o thing_n can_v better_o judge_v of_o it_o than_o he_o which_o never_o taste_v it_o a_o three_o direction_n be_v to_o see_v what_o motive_n and_o reason_n we_o have_v from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n to_o exercise_v our_o understanding_n this_o way_n we_o know_v heat_n come_v from_o light_n and_o there_o be_v a_o sympathy_n between_o the_o brain_n and_o the_o heart_n the_o brain_n must_v make_v a_o report_n to_o the_o heart_n before_o that_o can_v be_v inflame_v with_o affection_n therefore_o serious_o search_v into_o the_o ground_n of_o thy_o affection_n the_o first_o ground_n be_v god_n goodness_n in_o god_n god_n be_v goodness_n itself_o in_o who_o all_o good_a be_v involve_v if_o therefore_o we_o love_v other_o thing_n for_o the_o goodness_n which_o we_o see_v in_o they_o why_o do_v we_o not_o love_n god_n in_o who_o be_v all_o goodness_n all_o other_o thing_n be_v but_o spark_n of_o that_o fire_n and_o drop_n of_o that_o sea_n see_v thou_o any_o good_a in_o the_o creature_n remember_v there_o be_v much_o more_o in_o the_o creator_n leave_v therefore_o the_o stream_n and_o go_v to_o the_o wellhead_n of_o comfort_n another_o reason_n of_o love_n be_v our_o affinity_n with_o god_n our_o father_n and_o friend_n who_o be_v unto_o we_o in_o all_o degree_n of_o nearness_n both_o our_o head_n and_o our_o husband_n be_v not_o the_o son_n we_o what_o fellowship_n can_v we_o have_v with_o the_o father_n have_v such_o a_o
