concreated_a goodness_n of_o disposition_n whereby_o one_o man_n be_v better_a belove_v than_o another_o and_o of_o this_o nature_n be_v the_o love_n towards_o father_n and_o mother_n between_o man_n and_o wife_n and_o good_a friend_n and_o here_o sometime_o slip_v in_o also_o the_o love_n which_o be_v stir_v by_o fairness_n riches_n promotion_n and_o other_o outward_a thing_n and_o common_o suppress_v the_o former_a love_n as_o be_v now_o adays_o most_o usual_a and_o bear_v the_o sway_n in_o so_o much_o that_o man_n will_v neither_o know_v nor_o hear_v of_o any_o other_o kind_n of_o love_n this_o elementary_a love_n be_v also_o to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o animal_n and_o beast_n but_o the_o child_n of_o god_n make_v no_o account_n of_o this_o unclean_a and_o impure_a love_n unless_o it_o be_v for_o the_o lord_n sake_n so_o that_o animalish_n love_v be_v fanctify_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o faith_n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v sin_n therefore_o in_o the_o creature-like_a love_n their_o love_n be_v thus_o that_o they_o also_o can_v hate_v what_o they_o love_v let_v it_o be_v father_n mother_n child_n friend_n etc._n etc._n namely_o for_o christ_n sake_n though_o they_o hate_v it_o not_o but_o rather_o love_v it_o more_o and_o better_a than_o any_o creature-like_a love_n either_o do_v or_o can_v do_v which_o soon_o alter_v and_o easy_o be_v cast_v down_o namely_o be_v deprive_v of_o that_o she_o love_v as_o we_o may_v daily_o see_v by_o those_o that_o lose_v any_o thing_n in_o nature_n which_o they_o have_v love_v and_o set_v their_o heart_n on_o how_o they_o use_v to_o moan_v and_o grieve_v for_o the_o loss_n of_o it_o but_o the_o child_n of_o god_n be_v not_o sorry_a when_o they_o lose_v any_o creature_n but_o leave_v it_o whole_o to_o god_n and_o his_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n the_o reason_n be_v thus_o because_o they_o do_v not_o love_v the_o creature_n in_o and_o according_a to_o the_o old_a creation_n or_o in_o the_o vanity_n of_o the_o creatureship_n but_o in_o the_o new_a creation_n yea_o in_o and_o with_o christ_n and_o the_o same_o spirit_n that_o be_v in_o all_o thing_n therefore_o they_o can_v mourn_v nor_o grieve_v according_a to_o the_o inward_a man_n when_o they_o have_v any_o loss_n of_o transitory_a thing_n be_v they_o know_v that_o they_o can_v never_o lose_v it_o in_o christ_n in_o who_o they_o love_v all_o thing_n thus_o job_n be_v not_o move_v or_o alter_v when_o he_o lose_v his_o child_n and_o afterward_o also_o his_o health_n neither_o regard_v he_o his_o life_n as_o he_o say_v chap._n 13.15_o though_o he_o slay_v i_o yet_o will_v i_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o david_n say_v psal_n 73._o who_o have_v i_o in_o heaven_n but_o thou_o and_o there_o be_v none_o upon_o earth_n that_o i_o desire_v beside_o thou_o or_o thus_o when_o i_o have_v but_o thou_o i_o care_v neither_o for_o heaven_n nor_o earth_n and_o this_o be_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o the_o world_n and_o the_o child_n of_o god_n even_o in_o natural_a love_n second_o the_o love_n of_o the_o law_n proceed_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o mind_n be_v from_o and_o out_o of_o the_o angelical_a world_n and_o be_v cause_v by_o a_o good_a mind_n or_o upright_a heart_n have_v apprehend_v and_o understand_v well_o nosce_fw-la teipsum_fw-la or_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o one_o self_n whereby_o a_o man_n esteem_v his_o neighbour_n as_o good_a as_o himself_o see_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o all_o man_n spring_v from_o one_o stock_n and_o the_o one_o branch_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o hate_v the_o other_o or_o else_o it_o be_v cause_v and_o stir_v by_o command_n of_o the_o law_n or_o else_o it_o be_v move_v and_o raise_v by_o the_o pure_a affection_n and_o angelical_a inclination_n of_o the_o inward_a soul_n when_o i_o intend_v to_o do_v my_o neighbour_n without_o any_o desert_n of_o he_o or_o hope_v of_o gain_n to_o myself_o such_o kindness_n and_o assistance_n as_o the_o angel_n raphael_n do_v to_o tobias_n now_o in_o this_o love_n the_o child_n of_o god_n do_v also_o differ_v from_o the_o vulgar_a for_o there_o be_v many_o that_o do_v good_a but_o not_o to_o a_o good_a and_o right_a end_n but_o only_o they_o may_v be_v see_v but_o be_v they_o do_v it_o for_o their_o own_o praise_n of_o vainglory_n they_o can_v thereby_o attain_v to_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o child_n of_o god_n but_o remain_v unprofitable_a servant_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v and_o perform_v not_o their_o duty_n see_v they_o do_v not_o right_o employ_v their_o housekeep_n and_o stewardship_n trust_v to_o their_o dispensation_n and_o administration_n wherefore_o also_o those_o that_o will_v justify_v themselves_o with_o their_o good_a work_n be_v reject_v by_o christ_n mat._n 25._o and_o such_o be_v all_o those_o that_o for_o their_o charity_n and_o well_o do_v seek_v a_o reward_n which_o the_o child_n of_o god_n do_v not_o do_v for_o they_o for_o all_o their_o well_o do_v do_v esteem_v themselves_o far_o unworthy_a of_o the_o grace_n and_o mercy_n of_o god_n wherefore_o also_o the_o love_n that_o in_o they_o arise_v and_o proceed_v from_o the_o law_n be_v sanctify_v in_o they_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o faith_n be_v they_o seek_v not_o themselves_o in_o any_o thing_n but_o be_v unwilling_a that_o the_o left_a hand_n shall_v know_v what_o the_o right_a hand_n do_v and_o all_o for_o this_o end_n that_o they_o in_o their_o transgression_n may_v find_v mercy_n therefore_o they_o never_o think_v on_o reward_n as_o the_o rest_n who_o have_v transgress_v the_o bound_n of_o love_n find_v afterward_o no_o grace_n nor_o mercy_n be_v they_o look_v only_o upon_o the_o reward_n therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n though_o i_o bestow_v all_o my_o good_n to_o feed_v the_o poor_a and_o though_o i_o give_v my_o body_n to_o be_v burn_v and_o have_v not_o love_n it_o profit_v i_o nothing_o or_o i_o be_o unprofitable_a what_o be_v therefore_o the_o condition_n of_o love_n and_o what_o be_v love_n love_n seek_v not_o its_o own_o as_o the_o love_n of_o the_o law_n which_o desire_v its_o reward_n but_o this_o love_n viz._n it_o have_v nothing_o for_o it_o be_v not_o the_o owner_n and_o possessor_n of_o its_o own_o self_n but_o yield_v and_o give_v itself_o with_o christ_n for_o its_o neighbour_n and_o suffer_v god_n to_o be_v all_o in_o all_o in_o it_o it_o give_v nothing_o for_o it_o suffer_v itself_o to_o be_v give_v over_o to_o another_o namely_o for_o christ_n sake_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o love_n which_o be_v shed_v abroad_o in_o our_o heart_n it_o take_v nothing_o but_o christ_n himself_o receive_v it_o in_o she_o and_o therefore_o christ_n say_v what_o you_o have_v do_v to_o one_o of_o the_o least_o of_o these_o that_o you_o have_v do_v to_o i_o and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a property_n of_o this_o love_n namely_o it_o be_v not_o self-loved_n self-conceited_a self-willed_a and_o seek_v not_o its_o own_o but_o it_o be_v all_o thing_n in_o christ_n therefore_o whosoever_o will_v be_v its_o own_o or_o have_v any_o thing_n of_o his_o own_o or_o mean_v to_o do_v any_o thing_n of_o his_o own_o self_n be_v altogether_o of_o the_o devil_n who_o alone_o will_v be_v his_o own_o self_n and_o belong_v to_o no_o man._n three_o now_o this_o be_v the_o love_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n from_o the_o divine_a world_n and_o be_v cause_v by_o itself_o and_o not_o by_o any_o object_n even_o as_o god_n be_v move_v of_o himself_o by_o himself_o with_o himself_o and_o in_o himself_o to_o love_v we_o see_v he_o can_v not_o be_v move_v thereto_o by_o we_o be_v sinner_n therefore_o be_v this_o love_n stir_v by_o itself_o behold_v itself_o in_o a_o unspeakable_a light_n and_o how_o can_v that_o be_v comprehend_v in_o the_o love_n which_o yield_v itself_o to_o death_n that_o it_o may_v purchase_v life_n to_o we_o no_o man_n therefore_o have_v great_a love_n then_o to_o give_v his_o life_n as_o christ_n do_v and_o this_o love_n can_v be_v express_v see_v there_o be_v no_o word_n equal_a to_o it_o and_o the_o eternal_a word_n itself_o be_v dead_a in_o the_o flesh_n o_o what_o a_o great_a mystery_n be_v this_o in_o the_o word_n be_v life_n and_o the_o life_n be_v light_a and_o come_v into_o the_o world_n love_v sinner_n o_o what_o a_o principle_n of_o all_o principle_n viz._n light_n life_n and_o love_n therefore_o it_o be_v the_o love_n proceed_v from_o the_o divine_a world_n of_o which_o the_o apostle_n speak_v which_o surpass_v all_o angelical_a tongue_n see_v it_o can_v be_v express_v by_o angelical_a tongue_n for_o the_o angelical_a world_n from_o which_o the_o law_n proceed_v enjoin_v we_o to_o love_v our_o friend_n but_o hate_v our_o enemy_n matth._n 5._o v._n 43._o neither_o can_v it_o judge_v otherwise_o be_v this_o law_n
