certain_o such_o a_o temper_n be_v apt_a for_o a_o right_a conversion_n than_o a_o harsh_a and_o sour_a constitution_n of_o the_o mind_n the_o first_o be_v a_o good_a mould_n of_o earth_n with_o ill_a seed_n cast_v into_o it_o and_o so_o the_o fruit_n may_v be_v ill_a while_o the_o pregnancy_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v good_a the_o other_o be_v inaquosa_fw-la a_o heath_n natural_o unfruitful_a and_o require_v much_o more_o manure_v to_o make_v it_o bear_v wherefore_o that_o nature_n which_o have_v not_o a_o kindly_a pregnancy_n in_o it_o to_o bear_v love_n be_v not_o the_o best_a mould_n for_o the_o seed_n in_o the_o gospel_n for_o though_o it_o may_v render_v thirty_o it_o can_v hardly_o yield_v the_o increase_n of_o a_o hundred_o fold_n in_o devotion_n certain_o we_o may_v then_o very_o religious_o prefer_v the_o constitution_n of_o such_o mind_n who_o power_n be_v best_a dispose_v for_o the_o act_n of_o love_a for_o love_n as_o it_o be_v the_o great_a treasure_n of_o our_o soul_n so_o be_v it_o the_o only_a security_n stand_v bind_v to_o god_n for_o all_o our_o debt_n all_o the_o other_o faculty_n of_o man_n seem_v to_o be_v receiver_n only_o and_o this_o the_o discharger_n of_o all_o their_o account_n but_o love_n have_v this_o extraordinary_a blessing_n the_o great_a expense_n it_o make_v upon_o this_o occasion_n the_o rich_a it_o grow_v for_o the_o more_o our_o love_n pay_v god_n the_o more_o it_o improve_v the_o same_o estate_n but_o we_o can_v assign_v nothing_o but_o this_o pure_a species_n of_o love_n to_o the_o receipt_n of_o heaven_n wherefore_o all_o empty_a formality_n and_o unsincere_a affectation_n in_o exterior_a exercise_n that_o will_v pass_v for_o devotion_n be_v i_o think_v like_o servant_n that_o have_v get_v on_o fine_a clothes_n of_o their_o master_n by_o which_o stranger_n may_v mistake_v their_o quality_n but_o their_o master_n be_v not_o deceive_v by_o they_o so_o these_o garment_n and_o cover_n of_o devotion_n may_v abuse_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o world_n but_o we_o know_v the_o master_n of_o all_o sanctity_n distinguish_v dissimulation_n in_o all_o the_o specious_a similitude_n it_o wear_v and_o i_o shall_v believe_v a_o varnish_a hypocrite_n may_v be_v more_o offensive_a to_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n than_o a_o zealous_a unvail_v idolater_n for_o this_o be_v but_o mistake_v in_o god_n and_o the_o other_o seem_v to_o suppose_v god_n may_v be_v mistake_v in_o he_o and_o certain_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o capital_a against_o the_o law_n of_o heaven_n then_o counterfeit_v the_o coin_n which_o piety_n may_v not_o improper_o be_v term_v as_o be_v the_o price_n and_o measure_n of_o all_o exchange_n between_o heaven_n and_o earth_n of_o these_o false_a coiner_n king_n david_n say_v they_o slatter_v god_n with_o their_o mouth_n &_o lie_v unto_o he_o with_o their_o 59_o tongue_n and_o he_o give_v they_o god_n answer_v thus_o the_o lord_n shall_v laugh_v they_o to_o scorn_v we_o may_v conclude_v then_o that_o the_o sincere_a love_n of_o god_n be_v the_o spirit_n and_o soul_n of_o devotion_n and_o therefore_o be_v to_o be_v entire_a in_o every_o several_a part_n of_o our_o religious_a exercise_n when_o god_n dignify_v man_n with_o similitude_n to_o his_o own_o image_n it_o be_v the_o soul_n not_o the_o body_n that_o have_v this_o divine_a relation_n so_o in_o the_o service_n of_o god_n which_o be_v a_o consistence_n of_o two_o such_o part_n unite_v of_o spirit_n and_o of_o matter_n the_o spirit_n and_o breath_n of_o life_n do_v not_o reside_v in_o the_o material_a part_n which_o be_v sensible_a religious_a office_n but_o in_o the_o inform_a and_o animate_v part_n which_o be_v devotion_n the_o which_o answer_v to_o the_o soul_n in_o humanity_n as_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o demonstrate_v and_o thus_o i_o hope_v that_o i_o have_v not_o indecent_o apparel_v devotion_n in_o the_o habit_n of_o the_o place_n it_o be_v recommend_v to_o clothing_z it_o in_o this_o soft_a raiment_n of_o passion_n be_v to_o come_v unto_o the_o house_n of_o king_n 8._o but_o now_o i_o think_v i_o hear_v some_o sensual_a and_o voluptuous_a person_n cry_v out_o to_o warn_v their_o passion_n to_o stand_v upon_o their_o guard_n object_v that_o i_o like_o a_o pirate_n have_v thus_o put_v up_o friend_n colour_n while_o i_o be_o in_o chase_n call_v devotion_n love_n and_o passion_n that_o it_o may_v the_o

indeed_o that_o those_o vessel_n i_o will_v speak_v with_o may_v not_o fly_v from_o piety_n at_o first_o sight_n as_o from_o a_o enemy_n to_o pleasure_n that_o speak_v with_o they_o i_o may_v show_v they_o how_o devotion_n come_v and_o possess_v our_o mind_n do_v rather_o compose_v the_o munity_n then_o infringe_v the_o true_a liberty_n of_o our_o affection_n for_o grace_n find_v humane_a

a_o violation_n and_o sure_o our_o sense_n can_v more_o just_o complain_v of_o devotion_n as_o a_o dispossessor_n of_o their_o property_n then_o wild_a people_n can_v call_v a_o lawgiver_n a_o
