debt_n for_o thou_o when_o thou_o be_v ready_a to_o go_v to_o prison_n for_o it_o so_o that_o now_o the_o lord_n begin_v to_o grow_v angry_a with_o thou_o if_o thou_o will_v not_o yet_o love_v he_o for_o all_o this_o and_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o all_o and_o therefore_o three_o consider_v also_o that_o he_o love_v thou_o now_o as_o fire_n beget_v fire_n so_o do_v love_n beget_v love_n therefore_o say_v saint_n john_n we_o love_v he_o because_o he_o love_v we_o first_o that_o be_v his_o love_n to_o we_o shall_v make_v we_o love_v he_o again_o but_o especial_o we_o can_v but_o love_v he_o if_o we_o consider_v in_o the_o last_o place_n four_o what_o his_o love_n be_v for_o its_o unspeakable_a 19_o and_o pass_a knowledge_n we_o can_v never_o conceive_v the_o height_n and_o length_n etc._n etc._n all_o which_o what_o shall_v it_o teach_v we_o but_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o if_o we_o will_v not_o love_v the_o lord_n 22._o he_o will_v show_v his_o wrath_n and_o make_v his_o power_n know_v upon_o we_o that_o we_o be_v but_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n fit_v for_o destruction_n as_o it_o be_v say_v again_o second_o it_o shall_v exhort_v we_o to_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o to_o provoke_v we_o thereunto_o we_o shall_v often_o consider_v and_o think_v in_o these_o thing_n what_o right_a and_o title_n he_o have_v to_o we_o how_o much_o he_o have_v do_v for_o we_o and_o how_o great_o he_o love_v yea_o and_o more_o than_o all_o this_o we_o shall_v thereby_o also_o have_v these_o and_o these_o thing_n we_o shall_v by_o this_o mean_n reap_v these_o and_o these_o benefit_n first_o we_o shall_v have_v his_o spirit_n the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n the_o comforter_n which_o shall_v lead_v we_o into_o all_o truth_n and_o enable_v we_o to_o fulfil_v his_o commandment_n and_o with_o facility_n and_o ease_n whereas_o else_o they_o will_v be_v grievous_a unto_o we_o as_o for_o example_n saint_n paul_n will_v soon_o have_v be_v weary_a of_o preach_v and_o suffer_v so_o much_o as_o he_o do_v if_o he_o have_v not_o have_v this_o love_n in_o he_o and_o why_o do_v parent_n think_v nothing_o too_o much_o for_o their_o child_n but_o because_o they_o love_v they_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o though_o they_o be_v froward_a and_o untoward_a yet_o still_o they_o bear_v with_o they_o if_o then_o we_o can_v find_v in_o our_o heart_n to_o be_v quiet_a until_o they_o look_v to_o the_o lord_n like_v as_o the_o needle_n of_o a_o compass_n which_o be_v touch_v with_o a_o loadstone_n will_v never_o stand_v still_o till_o it_o come_v to_o the_o north-pole_n then_o may_v this_o be_v a_o testimony_n unto_o we_o that_o may_v distinguish_v we_o from_o hypocrite_n and_o witness_v to_o our_o soul_n that_o we_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o they_o keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n in_o some_o sort_n and_o abstain_v from_o some_o one_o kind_n of_o sin_n but_o not_o out_o of_o love_n to_o he_o nor_o in_o any_o obedience_n and_o conscience_n of_o his_o word_n but_o in_o love_n to_o themselves_o second_o this_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o thy_o resurrection_n from_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n to_o the_o life_n of_o righteousness_n hereby_o shall_v you_o know_v that_o you_o be_v translate_v from_o death_n to_o life_n because_o you_o love_v the_o brethren_n now_o you_o can_v love_v they_o but_o you_o must_v love_v the_o father_n that_o beget_v they_o three_o thou_o shall_v get_v by_o this_o thy_o love_n to_o he_o for_o when_o thou_o give_v he_o thy_o heart_n he_o will_v give_v it_o thou_o again_o he_o will_v only_o alter_v the_o object_n but_o let_v thou_o keep_v the_o affection_n still_o only_o it_o shall_v be_v better_o than_o it_o be_v before_o he_o will_v purify_v it_o from_o all_o its_o corruption_n and_o cleanse_v it_o from_o all_o its_o sin_n nor_o shall_v this_o be_v any_o thing_n out_o of_o thy_o way_n it_o shall_v be_v as_o much_o for_o thy_o profit_n as_o ever_o it_o be_v before_o for_o when_o thy_o heart_n be_v set_v to_o keep_v his_o commandment_n when_o it_o incline_v to_o his_o statute_n as_o so_o he_o will_v incline_v it_o than_o whatsoever_o thou_o do_v 14._o it_o shall_v prosper_v so_o that_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o sabbath_n that_o it_o be_v make_v for_o man_n that_o be_v for_o man_n good_a so_o may_v we_o say_v the_o same_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o commandment_n that_o it_o be_v make_v for_o man_n that_o be_v for_o his_o good_a and_o benefit_n 33._o and_o therefore_o the_o promise_n of_o life_n and_o happiness_n be_v make_v to_o all_o alike_o and_o here_o by_o the_o way_n take_v this_o difference_n along_o with_o thou_o to_o distinguish_v thy_o love_n from_o self_n love_n for_o that_o be_v all_o for_o itself_o but_o this_o be_v all_o for_o he_o who_o thou_o love_v if_o then_o thou_o love_v the_o lord_n for_o thy_o own_o good_a it_o be_v self_n love_n but_o if_o thou_o love_v he_o for_o himself_o simple_o without_o any_o respect_n to_o the_o recompense_n of_o reward_n then_o be_v it_o true_a love_n indeed_o four_o we_o shall_v receive_v much_o comfort_n by_o love_v the_o lord_n now_o what_o be_v that_o keep_v we_o from_o love_v of_o he_o but_o our_o pleasure_n we_o be_v loath_a to_o part_v with_o they_o and_o yet_o alas_o we_o shall_v receive_v much_o more_o and_o they_o far_o more_o substantial_a sollider_n and_o sound_a comfort_n by_o love_v of_o he_o than_o ever_o we_o shall_v by_o love_v of_o the_o world_n or_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n now_o do_v but_o think_v how_o good_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o love_v one_o that_o be_v but_o like_o thou_o much_o rather_o shall_v thou_o love_v one_o that_o die_v for_o thou_o wherefore_o if_o thou_o will_v have_v thy_o heart_n fill_v with_o joy_n and_o comfort_n love_v he_o for_o so_o thou_o shall_v have_v joy_n unspeakable_a and_o glorious_a and_o last_o of_o all_o if_o thou_o will_v indeed_o unfeigned_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n consider_v five_o that_o it_o make_v thou_o a_o more_o excellent_a man_n than_o thou_o be_v before_o for_o every_o man_n be_v better_a or_o worse_o according_a to_o his_o love_n as_o it_o be_v set_v on_o thing_n

of_o a_o unite_n nature_n thou_o will_v say_v quest._n these_o be_v indeed_o good_a motive_n to_o make_v we_o to_o love_v he_o but_o how_o shall_v i_o come_v by_o this_o love_n or_o by_o what_o mean_n shall_v i_o get_v this_o love_n into_o my_o heart_n for_o answer_v whereunto_o i_o tell_v thou_o first_o of_o all_o answ._n that_o if_o thou_o can_v but_o unfeigned_o desire_v to_o love_v he_o thou_o have_v half_o do_v this_o work_n already_o and_o that_o thou_o may_v have_v such_o a_o desire_n meditate_v often_o upon_o those_o motive_n before_o this_o be_v the_o answer_n christ_n himself_o give_v to_o his_o disciple_n when_o they_o ask_v he_o how_o they_o shall_v get_v faith_n why_o say_v he_o if_o you_o have_v faith_n but_o as_o a_o grain_n of_o mustard_n feed_v you_o shall_v say_v to_o

thou_o will_v as_o thou_o say_v thou_o desire_v to_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n indeed_o with_o all_o thy_o heart_n with_o all_o thy_o soul_n and_o with_o etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v and_o add_v again_o thou_o can_v not_o use_v a_o better_a mean_n to_o attain_v thereunto_o and_o get_v the_o love_n of_o he_o into_o thy_o heart_n then_o these_o first_o pray_v unto_o god_n for_o it_o for_o all_o grace_n be_v his_o gift_n they_o be_v mere_a donative_n and_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o hear_v they_o that_o ask_v in_o his_o son_n name_n and_o to_o give_v the_o spirit_n to_o they_o that_o

how_o do_v prayer_n beget_v love_n i_o answer_v it_o beget_v it_o two_o way_n first_o answ._n by_o prevail_v with_o god_n second_o by_o familiarity_n with_o he_o first_o i_o say_v by_o prevail_v with_o god_n so_o do_v jaacob_n and_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n for_o consider_v that_o

he_o have_v condescend_v to_o their_o request_n that_o he_o have_v grant_v their_o suit_n and_o hear_v their_o petition_n and_o that_o in_o such_o a_o matter_n as_o they_o be_v never_o able_a to_o make_v he_o any_o part_n of_o amends_o as_o the_o forgiveness_n of_o their_o sin_n why_o then_o they_o think_v that_o to_o love_v he_o be_v one_o of_o the_o least_o thing_n they_o can_v do_v for_o he_o so_o mary_n magdalen_n love_v much_o because_o much_o be_v forgive_v she_o second_o by_o familiarity_n with_o he_o we_o have_v a_o say_n that_o nimium_fw-la familiaritatis_fw-la contemptum_fw-la parit_fw-la that_o too_o much_o familiarity_n breed_v contempt_n and_o however_o among_o some_o man_n it_o may_v sometime_o fall_v out_o so_o yet_o it_o be_v seldom_o see_v among_o those_o that_o be_v

and_o frequent_a they_o be_v together_o by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o fervent_a and_o indissoluble_a be_v their_o love_n and_o this_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o a_o man_n that_o be_v a_o stranger_n may_v with_o thou_o well_o but_o can_v true_o love_v thou_o till_o he_o be_v acquaint_v with_o thou_o so_o neither_o can_v thou_o love_v the_o lord_n as_o thou_o shall_v so_o long_o as_o you_o be_v stranger_n one_o to_o another_o and_o what_o bring_v we_o and_o the_o lord_n better_o acquaint_v together_o then_o prayer_n wherein_o as_o it_o be_v thou_o talk_v familiar_o with_o god_n even_o as_o a_o man_n talk_v with_o his_o friend_n face_n to_o face_n this_o be_v the_o first_o mean_n second_o desire_v the_o lord_n to_o show_v himself_o unto_o thou_o as_o moses_n do_v for_o this_o be_v a_o strong_a motive_n and_o mean_n to_o make_v thou_o love_v he_o therefore_o say_v our_o saviour_n to_o his_o disciple_n that_o him*_n 21._o which_o be_v as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v if_o you_o will_v know_v how_o you_o shall_v come_v to_o love_v i_o or_o my_o father_n it_o shall_v be_v by_o this_o way_n or_o mean_n i_o will_v manifest_v myself_o unto_o you_o i_o will_v show_v you_o my_o glory_n and_o then_o you_o can_v choose_v but_o love_v i_o though_o you_o love_v i_o not_o before_o now_o the_o ordinary_a way_n and_o mean_n whereby_o he_o reveal_v himself_o unto_o any_o one_o be_v by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n which_o though_o it_o be_v but_o a_o dead_a letter_n in_o itself_o yet_o when_o he_o put_v life_n and_o spirit_n into_o it_o and_o open_v our_o heart_n as_o he_o do_v open_a liddeahs_n thereby_o than_o we_o see_v and_o conceive_v his_o mercy_n and_o our_o own_o wretched_a vileness_n whereupon_o we_o can_v but_o love_v he_o know_v how_o he_o have_v love_v we_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n pray_v that_o the_o god_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n will_v give_v the_o ephesian_n the_o spirit_n of_o knowledge_n 18._o wisdom_n

as_o well_o as_o one_o will_v desire_v for_o this_o be_v one_o sure_a ground_n why_o we_o love_v he_o not_o or_o love_v he_o no_o better_o than_o we_o do_v because_o we_o know_v he_o no_o better_o we_o be_v ignorant_a of_o he_o and_o ignoti_fw-la nulla_fw-la cupido_fw-la as_o it_o be_v say_v there_o be_v no_o love_n no_o long_a desire_n after_o that_o which_o we_o know_v not_o or_o know_v not_o the_o worth_n and_o necessity_n of_o it_o as_o a_o sick_a man_n have_v no_o thought_n after_o the_o sovereign_a drug_n in_o the_o apothecary_n shop_n because_o he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o any_o such_o

that_o when_o the_o prophet_n david_n have_v profess_v his_o love_n to_o god_n say_v i_o will_v love_v thou_o o_o lord_n my_o strength_n 1._o he_o afterward_o add_v as_o it_o be_v the_o reason_n or_o

declare_v his_o power_n and_o might_n in_o his_o deliverance_n and_o that_o be_v it_o that_o make_v he_o love_v he_o if_o therefore_o thou_o will_v but_o desire_v i_o say_v to_o love_v he_o he_o will_v inflame_v thy_o heart_n with_o the_o love_n of_o he_o yea_o he_o will_v open_v the_o heaven_n and_o thou_o shall_v see_v he_o sit_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n 56._o as_o saint_n

usual_a manner_n with_o he_o but_o yet_o second_o thou_o must_v do_v these_o thing_n thyself_o first_o thou_o must_v look_v how_o he_o have_v reveal_v himself_o in_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o most_o glorious_a and_o gracious_a god_n a_o merciful_a father_n in_o jesus_n christ_n slow_a to_o anger_n and_o of_o much_o mercy_n and_o now_o when_o we_o perceive_v he_o to_o be_v such_o a_o one_o we_o can_v but_o love_v he_o and_o long_o after_o he_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n second_o we_o must_v consider_v our_o own_o misery_n this_o make_v mary_n to_o seek_v after_o he_o and_o be_v it_o not_o but_o that_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o he_o but_o that_o we_o know_v we_o be_v undo_v and_o damn_v without_o christ_n we_o shall_v never_o care_v so_o much_o for_o he_o for_o the_o whole_a have_v no_o need_n of_o the_o physician_n that_o be_v they_o care_v not_o for_o his_o skill_n nor_o his_o help_n but_o they_o that_o be_v sick_a they_o that_o know_v their_o own_o want_n and_o

seek_v out_o for_o the_o spiritual_a physician_n of_o our_o soul_n christ_n jesus_n three_o we_o must_v humble_v ourselves_o before_o he_o confess_v our_o sin_n and_o that_o in_o particular_a as_o

bosome-raigning_a sin_n so_o the_o prodigal_a son_n confess_v that_o he_o have_v sin_v especial_o against_o heaven_n and_o before_o his_o father_n by_o riotous_a live_n 19_o whereby_o he_o be_v
