can_v have_v no_o peace_n with_o god_n who_o be_v all_o holiness_n righteousness_n goodness_n sure_o then_o unholiness_n unrighteousness_n wickedness_n can_v have_v no_o union_n with_o these_o no_o more_o than_o light_n and_o darkness_n can_v consist_v together_o the_o one_o must_v needs_o destroy_v the_o other_o wherefore_o in_o scripture_n the_o wicked_a be_v call_v enemy_n unto_o god_n fighter_n against_o god_n hater_n of_o god_n but_o no_o man_n ever_o so_o wicked_a will_v confess_v this_o of_o himself_o that_o he_o be_v a_o enemy_n and_o a_o hater_n of_o god_n and_o you_o will_v hardly_o find_v a_o man_n that_o believe_v this_o of_o himself_o so_o inconsiderate_a be_v man_n and_o ignorant_a of_o their_o own_o heart_n jer._n 17.9_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n be_v deceitful_a above_o all_o thing_n and_o desperate_o wicked_a who_o can_v know_v it_o man_n be_v as_o blind_a and_o stupid_a as_o stock_n in_o discover_v their_o own_o heart_n and_o their_o own_o wickedness_n and_o will_v not_o believe_v they_o be_v so_o desperate_o wicked_a as_o to_o be_v enemy_n and_o hater_n of_o god_n but_o it_o be_v most_o evident_a by_o their_o deed_n daily_a and_o hourly_o do_v thing_n as_o hateful_a unto_o god_n as_o possible_a can_v be_v if_o they_o say_v they_o do_v not_o the_o thing_n out_o of_o any_o hatred_n to_o god_n but_o only_o to_o please_v themselves_o so_o may_v any_o one_o say_v that_o murder_n another_o he_o may_v say_v he_o have_v great_a pleasure_n in_o revenge_n and_o that_o he_o murder_v the_o man_n only_o to_o please_v himself_o not_o out_o of_o any_o
