enough_o one_o will_v think_v to_o calm_v the_o most_o furious_a and_o revengful_a to_o sweeten_v the_o most_o sour_a and_o bitter_a disposition_n to_o curb_v and_o restrain_v the_o utmost_a fury_n of_o all_o our_o lust_n for_o i_o be_o much_o mistake_v if_o it_o will_v not_o daunt_v the_o proud_a sinner_n that_o ever_o breathe_v to_o look_v upon_o death_n and_o to_o see_v nothing_o but_o hell_n

a_o consume_a fire_n let_v therefore_o the_o time_n pass_v of_o our_o life_n suffice_v that_o we_o have_v live_v so_o direct_o contrary_a to_o our_o interest_n and_o duty_n let_v the_o wicked_a for_o

call_v the_o cord_n of_o love_n the_o band_n of_o a_o man._n 11.4_o hos_fw-la 11.4_o this_o law_n of_o love_n be_v so_o natural_o fit_v to_o the_o temper_n and_o constitution_n of_o man_n who_o will_v

persuade_v himself_o to_o the_o contrary_a yet_o all_o his_o love_n be_v but_o false_a and_o counterfeit_a and_o he_o himself_o without_o mince_v the_o matter_n be_v no_o better_a than_o a_o liar_n which_o the_o apostle_n do_v not_o only_o say_v but_o prove_v from_o the_o two_o follow_a argument_n the_o one_o draw_v from_o the_o nature_n of_o love_n itself_o the_o other_o from_o the_o effect_n and_o consequence_n of_o it_o 1._o from_o the_o nature_n of_o love_n itself_o for_o if_o he_o do_v not_o love_n his_o brother_n who_o he_o have_v see_v how_o can_v he_o love_v god_n who_o he_o have_v not_o see_v it_o be_v more_o natural_a to_o we_o to_o love_v those_o thing_n we_o see_v and_o converse_v with_o than_o those_o thing_n we_o only_o hear_v of_o and_o believe_v in_o that_o nature_n be_v before_o grace_n and_o take_v the_o first_o place_n in_o we_o and_o we_o be_v more_o apt_a to_o love_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v visible_a and_o affect_v our_o sense_n than_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v invisible_a and_o affect_v only_o our_o understanding_n and_o therefore_o if_o to_o man_n with_o who_o we_o converse_v every_o day_n and_o meet_v with_o such_o opportunity_n we_o do_v not_o express_v any_o love_n what_o reason_n be_v there_o to_o imagine_v we_o sincere_o love_v god_n when_o of_o our_o love_n to_o he_o and_o the_o sincerity_n of_o it_o we_o be_v never_o able_a to_o make_v those_o trial_n because_o we_o never_o see_v he_o nor_o have_v any_o opportunity_n offer_v we_o of_o show_v any_o real_a act_n of_o love_n to_o he_o beside_o something_o may_v be_v judge_v from_o the_o difficulty_n of_o the_o thing_n for_o he_o that_o will_v not_o do_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v easy_a will_v hardly_o be_v suppose_v to_o do_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v more_o difficult_a now_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o love_v one_o we_o never_o see_v than_o one_o that_o we_o see_v every_o day_n in_o that_o fight_n and_o conversation_n be_v one_o motive_n of_o love_n now_o we_o see_v our_o brethren_n daily_o but_o we_o never_o see_v god_n at_o any_o time_n and_o therefore_o where_o there_o be_v one_o advantage_n to_o allure_v our_o love_n to_o our_o brethren_n which_o there_o be_v not_o to_o invite_v and_o oblige_v we_o to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n if_o a_o man_n fail_v in_o the_o one_o that_o be_v so_o natural_a how_o can_v it_o be_v imagine_v that_o he_o will_v perform_v the_o other_o which_o be_v less_o natural_a but_o 2._o the_o apostle_n second_o argument_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o effect_n and_o consequence_n of_o love_n which_o be_v obedience_n to_o the_o command_n and_o will_v of_o any_o person_n who_o we_o love_v and_o this_o commandment_n have_v we_o from_o he_o that_o he_o who_o love_v god_n love_v his_o brother_n also_o so_o that_o its_o evident_a by_o the_o command_n of_o god_n that_o we_o be_v as_o real_o oblige_v to_o love_v one_o another_o as_o to_o love_v he_o himself_o and_o therefore_o if_o we_o will_v show_v any_o love_n to_o he_o we_o can_v do_v it_o any_o better_a way_n than_o by_o obedience_n to_o his_o command_n and_o thus_o the_o notion_n of_o love_a god_n in_o scripture_n but_o more_o especial_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n seem_v to_o be_v take_v most_o fit_o for_o one_o most_o eminent_a act_n of_o love_n among_o all_o man_n viz._n that_o of_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o be_v most_o acceptable_a and_o well-pleasing_a to_o the_o belove_a either_o as_o tend_v most_o to_o his_o good_a or_o any_o other_o way_n desirable_a unto_o he_o for_o this_o indeed_o be_v the_o only_a way_n of_o express_v our_o love_n to_o another_o all_o other_o be_v but_o the_o effect_n of_o love_n unto_o ourselves_o but_o because_o god_n want_v no_o contribution_n of_o we_o either_o to_o the_o promote_a of_o his_o good_a or_o the_o advance_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o so_o our_o only_a way_n of_o do_v grateful_a thing_n to_o he_o be_v our_o perform_v what_o he_o command_v it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o our_o obedience_n to_o the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o god_n in_o the_o high_a and_o most_o perfect_a manner_n be_v style_v the_o love_a of_o he_o this_o be_v indeed_o the_o prime_n if_o not_o the_o only_a way_n of_o demonstrate_v our_o love_n to_o he_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v the_o great_a contradiction_n and_o absurdity_n in_o the_o world_n for_o a_o man_n to_o say_v he_o love_v god_n when_o he_o contemn_v and_o despise_v his_o will_n and_o command_n and_o be_v as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v pretend_v to_o be_v a_o loving_n and_o loyal_a subject_n
