consider_v that_o in_o the_o contrivance_n conduct_n and_o management_n of_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v a_o clear_a and_o manifest_a demonstration_n of_o the_o infinite_a goodness_n wisdom_n and_o power_n of_o god_n i._o a_o manifestation_n of_o infinite_a goodness_n the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n and_o all_o the_o capacity_n of_o immense_a space_n declare_v a_o infinite_a goodness_n but_o the_o clear_a and_o most_o sensible_a demonstration_n of_o it_o be_v in_o this_o mystery_n of_o the_o gospel_n wherein_o that_o boundless_a love_n which_o have_v disperse_v itself_o through_o all_o the_o order_n and_o degree_n of_o life_n shine_v forth_o with_o a_o full_a and_o perfect_a lustre_n and_o glory_n here_o it_o be_v that_o we_o behold_v that_o love_n which_o liberal_o fill_v and_o

a_o eternal_a and_o energetical_a love_n diffuse_v itself_o in_o the_o production_n of_o whatever_o be_v make_v so_o the_o same_o goodness_n move_v as_o it_o be_v a_o second_o time_n in_o the_o

more_o perfect_a any_o life_n be_v the_o more_o it_o desire_v to_o diffuse_v and_o communicate_v itself_o god_n be_v love_n say_v st._n john_n 4.8_o and_o he_o be_v the_o high_a and_o most_o perfect_a life_n now_o love_n be_v the_o most_o diffusive_a and_o communicative_a principle_n in_o all_o the_o world_n and_o the_o firm_a any_o be_v be_v radicate_v in_o love_n the_o near_a approach_n it_o make_v to_o that_o most_o excellent_a life_n and_o nature_n of_o god_n who_o beneficence_n and_o kindness_n the_o whole_a creation_n taste_v of_o self-love_n or_o the_o love_n of_o the_o carcase_n the_o bodily_a life_n restrain_v and_o contract_v the_o free_a exertion_n of_o the_o mind_n 4._o and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n set_v it_o as_o a_o note_n of_o degeneracy_n narrowness_n and_o anxiety_n when_o man_n shall_v be_v lover_n of_o themselves_o and_o corporeal_a pleasure_n in_o opposition_n to_o that_o universal_a and_o intellectual_a love_n which_o be_v the_o great_a law_n of_o

and_o life_n and_o do_v more_o intimate_o depend_v upon_o he_o than_o faculty_n and_o action_n upon_o the_o principle_n from_o whence_o they_o flow_v it_o be_v not_o necessity_n or_o need_n nor_o any_o greedy_a and_o thirsty_a desire_n of_o receive_v praise_n and_o glory_n from_o they_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o production_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n but_o only_o the_o fullness_n of_o god_n own_o goodness_n which_o alone_o move_v he_o to_o that_o cheerful_a approbation_n of_o the_o work_n of_o his_o hand_n when_o he_o see_v his_o own_o life_n diffuse_v in_o such_o variety_n of_o being_n and_o if_o we_o will_v do_v honour_n to_o god_n and_o speak_v according_a to_o our_o own_o faculty_n we_o may_v add_v life_n to_o this_o demonstration_n from_o the_o inward_a sense_n and_o experience_n of_o every_o good_a man_n who_o never_o find_v a_o more_o inward_a joy_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o spirit_n than_o when_o he_o be_v carry_v out_o in_o desire_n and_o aspiration_n of_o benignity_n and_o kindness_n towards_o the_o whole_a creation_n nor_o do_v he_o look_v upon_o this_o as_o any_o argument_n of_o righteousness_n that_o he_o be_v at_o any_o time_n in_o a_o more_o happy_a state_n and_o condition_n than_o other_o for_o he_o can_v be_v willing_a that_o all_o the_o world_n be_v as_o happy_a as_o himself_o do_v he_o not_o see_v strong_a and_o evident_a reason_n in_o the_o wise_a administration_n of_o providence_n why_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o something_o of_o this_o excellent_a temper_n we_o find_v in_o those_o passionate_a eruption_n of_o spirit_n record_v in_o the_o scripture_n of_o holy_a man_n who_o seem_v to_o be_v altogether_o transform_v into_o love_n blot_v i_o out_o of_o thy_o book_n say_v moses_n and_o i_o can_v be_v content_a to_o be_v accurse_v from_o christ_n say_v st._n paul_n for_o my_o brethren_n sake_n nay_o i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o he_o who_o be_v once_o thorough_o baptize_v into_o this_o spirit_n of_o universal_a love_n will_v be_v content_v to_o be_v eternal_o separate_v from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n so_o that_o he_o may_v be_v without_o sin_n if_o by_o that_o mean_v the_o whole_a
