A09984	Mount Ebal, or A heavenly treatise of divine love Shewing the equity and necessity of his being accursed that loves not the Lord Iesus Christ. Together with the motives meanes markes of our love towards him. By that late faithfull and worthy divine, John Preston, Doctor in Divinitie, chaplaine in ordinary to his Majestie, master of Emmanuel Colledge in Cambridge, and sometimes preacher of Lincolnes Inne.

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

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

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

find_v it_o which_o if_o a_o expert_a lapidary_n have_v it_o he_o will_v set_v much_o by_o it_o because_o he_o know_v the_o price_n and_o worth_n of_o it_o well_o enough_o and_o thence_o it_o be_v 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 steven_n do_v but_o thou_o will_v say_v all_o these_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o they_o extraordinary_a one_o too_o quest._n but_o what_o must_v i_o do_v for_o my_o part_n to_o have_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o my_o heart_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o no_o it_o be_v no_o such_o extraordinary_a thing_n for_o god_n to_o reveal_v himself_o to_o his_o saint_n answ._n it_o be_v a_o 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 weakness_n they_o know_v how_o to_o value_v and_o esteem_v of_o he_o and_o so_o we_o when_o we_o see_v we_o be_v wound_v by_o sin_n and_o sick_a unto_o death_n then_o will_v we_o inquire_v 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 many_o as_o we_o can_v by_o the_o omission_n of_o such_o and_o such_o good_a duty_n and_o the_o commission_n of_o these_o and_o these_o sin_n especial_o we_o must_v confess_v our_o belove_a 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 unworthy_a to_o be_v call_v his_o son_n and_o do_v desire_v only_o to_o be_v as_o one_o of_o his_o hire_a servant_n and_o now_o when_o he_o see_v his_o father_n notwithstanding_o make_v he_o so_o welcome_a who_o have_v so_o mean_a a_o conceit_n of_o himself_o that_o he_o put_v a_o ring_n upon_o his_o finger_n and_o shoe_n on_o his_o foot_n etc._n etc._n then_o he_o love_v he_o much_o more_o 4._o and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o christ_n and_o we_o when_o we_o be_v once_o out_o of_o love_n with_o ourselves_o and_o yet_o perceive_v that_o he_o love_v we_o who_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v belove_v then_o that_o make_v we_o love_v he_o again_o and_o the_o more_o lowly_a we_o be_v in_o our_o own_o eye_n the_o more_o high_o do_v we_o esteem_v christ_n and_o christ_n we_o four_o and_o last_o thou_o must_v first_o of_o all_o get_v faith_n for_o as_o thy_o faith_n be_v strong_a or_o weak_a so_o be_v thy_o love_n more_o or_o less_o if_o thou_o have_v but_o a_o little_a faith_n thou_o have_v but_o a_o little_a love_n for_o faith_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o love_n as_o the_o promise_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o faith_n now_o so_o long_o as_o thou_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o he_o have_v satisfy_v the_o divine_a wrath_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n for_o thou_o

final_o three_o seek_v and_o endeavour_v the_o protection_n and_o preservation_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o love_v as_o it_o on_o the_o other_o side_n shun_v and_o avoid_v aught_o that_o may_v endanger_v the_o destruction_n thereof_o and_o if_o notwithstanding_o it_o meet_v with_o it_o interpose_v itself_o betwixt_o it_o and_o that_o to_o defend_v it_o as_o the_o arm_n ward_v the_o blow_n from_o the_o head_n albeit_o it_o be_v to_o the_o wound_n of_o itself_o and_o when_o these_o three_o concur_v together_o when_o our_o love_n have_v these_o three_o concommitant_n and_o be_v attend_v with_o these_o fruit_n and_o effect_n as_o you_o hear_v before_o that_o it_o thus_o desire_v the_o fruition_n conjunction_n preservation_n of_o christ._n then_o may_v we_o distinguish_v it_o from_o all_o sensual_a and_o carnal_a love_n for_o there_o be_v many_o sort_n of_o love_n in_o the_o world_n but_o it_o be_v all_o but_o worldly_a love_n not_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a love_n first_o there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o pity_n as_o when_o we_o bewail_v a_o man_n case_n but_o hate_v his_o deed_n so_o be_v malefactor_n belove_v second_o there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o desire_n as_o when_o the_o stomach_n desire_v sweet_a meat_n the_o ear_n delightsome_a sound_n and_o the_o eye_n fine_a sight_n etc._n etc._n three_o there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o complusment_n when_o one_o lust_n or_o belong_v after_o a_o thing_n with_o the_o whole_a heart_n or_o soul_n so_o as_o he_o can_v subsist_v without_o it_o as_o a_o woman_n with_o child_n lust_v and_o long_v after_o a_o thing_n she_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o which_o she_o can_v fafe_o go_v without_o four_o there_o be_v love_n of_o friendship_n when_o one_o man_n love_v another_o for_o some_o courtesy_n or_o kindness_n he_o have_v receive_v from_o he_o five_o and_o last_o there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o dependence_n when_o a_o man_n love_v god_n more_o than_o himself_o more_o than_o his_o life_n and_o depend_v upon_o he_o for_o all_o good_a thing_n belong_v to_o body_n or_o soul_n or_o to_o be_v more_o brief_a there_o be_v a_o natural_a sinful_a spiritual_a love_n 23._o the_o first_o be_v betwixt_o parent_n and_o child_n and_o in_o itself_o be_v neither_o good_a nor_o evil_a 13._o the_o second_o arise_v from_o evil_a habit_n breed_v in_o the_o soul_n and_o it_o be_v most_o hateful_a to_o god_n and_o make_v we_o worse_o than_o the_o brute_n beast_n the_o three_o be_v that_o divine_a gift_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n put_v into_o our_o heart_n whereby_o we_o be_v more_o than_o man_n and_o desire_v holy_a thing_n for_o themselves_o and_o this_o be_v that_o love_n which_o the_o apostle_n here_o call_v for_o in_o this_o place_n now_o if_o our_o love_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v such_o we_o shall_v further_o know_v it_o by_o these_o two_o thing_n which_o always_o proceed_v and_o go_v before_o it_o as_o the_o former_a follow_v after_o it_o viz._n humiliation_n for_o sin_n past_a and_o faith_n in_o christ_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v first_o humiliation_n for_o sin_n past_a doct._n for_o till_o a_o man_n come_v to_o have_v a_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o himself_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o sin_n he_o will_v never_o care_v for_o christ_n and_o when_o he_o have_v be_v thus_o cast_v down_o yet_o second_o without_o faith_n in_o christ_n whereby_o he_o apply_v he_o to_o himself_o and_o be_v persuade_v that_o he_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o he_o will_v not_o yet_o love_v he_o but_o rather_o hate_v he_o of_o the_o twain_o now_o the_o manner_n or_o mean_n of_o get_v of_o both_o these_o and_o so_o consequent_o of_o love_n into_o our_o heart_n be_v by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n by_o prayer_n and_o take_v he_o when_o he_o be_v offer_v and_o give_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o same_o for_o that_o end_n but_o now_o we_o must_v take_v christ_n as_o a_o husband_n take_v a_o wife_n or_o a_o wife_n a_o husband_n out_o of_o love_n to_o their_o person_n not_o to_o their_o portion_n and_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v the_o better_a subject_n unto_o he_o but_o except_o we_o be_v first_o humble_v as_o be_v before_o say_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o consider_v in_o what_o need_n thou_o stand_v of_o he_o how_o that_o without_o he_o thou_o must_v perish_v till_o then_o i_o say_v thou_o can_v not_o sufficient_o set_v by_o he_o nor_o love_v he_o aright_o but_o when_o thou_o know_v how_o necessary_a he_o be_v for_o thou_o how_o alsufficient_a and_o affectionate_a he_o be_v towards_o thou_o than_o thou_o begin_v to_o look_v at_o christ_n as_o a_o condemn_a person_n do_v at_o he_o that_o bring_v a_o pardon_n for_o he_o who_o he_o love_v and_o belong_v after_o joy_n and_o rejoice_v in_o and_o yet_o all_o this_o be_v but_o a_o preparative_n to_o our_o love_n of_o he_o it_o be_v faith_n that_o be_v the_o first_o fountain_n whereby_o we_o so_o love_v he_o as_o that_o we_o can_v cleave_v unto_o he_o with_o purpose_n of_o heart_n to_o serve_v and_o please_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o this_o love_n which_o thus_o arise_v from_o faith_n do_v not_o only_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v merciful_a and_o will_v forgive_v thou_o thy_o sin_n upon_o thy_o supplication_n and_o repentance_n unto_o he_o for_o the_o same_o but_o also_o that_o he_o be_v most_o fit_a and_o conformable_a for_o thou_o so_o that_o thou_o can_v find_v in_o thy_o heart_n to_o be_v anathaematize_v for_o his_o sake_n and_o to_o be_v divorce_v from_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n for_o love_n of_o he_o and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o second_o thing_n also_o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o last_o to_o wit_n three_o to_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v have_v in_o execration_n and_o to_o be_v curse_v even_o to_o the_o death_n that_o love_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o they_o be_v chief_o these_o five_o first_o reas._n because_o when_o christ_n shall_v come_v and_o be_v a_o suitor_n unto_o we_o to_o love_v he_o and_o we_o refuse_v to_o do_v it_o and_o to_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o and_o receive_v he_o than_o he_o grow_v angry_a to_o the_o death_n you_o may_v see_v this_o in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o marriage_n of_o the_o king_n son_n how_o wroth_a he_o be_v when_o he_o hear_v they_o have_v abuse_v and_o beat_v his_o servant_n which_o he_o send_v to_o call_v they_o to_o the_o 2._o wedding_n and_o therefore_o the_o prophet_n david_n bid_v we_o kiss_v the_o son_n lest_o he_o be_v angry_a 12._o and_o so_o etc._n etc._n that_o be_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v when_o he_o offer_v himself_o to_o kiss_v you_o with_o the_o kiss_n of_o his_o mouth_n be_v not_o too_o coy_a and_o curious_a but_o embrace_v his_o offer_n return_v his_o courtesy_n with_o the_o like_a kindness_n and_o kiss_v he_o again_o lest_o he_o take_v it_o in_o great_a indignation_n at_o your_o hand_n and_o be_v so_o angry_a with_o you_o that_o you_o die_v for_o it_o indeed_o when_o we_o know_v not_o the_o gospel_n he_o be_v content_a though_o we_o be_v froward_a and_o fruitless_a but_o now_o that_o he_o send_v his_o desciple_n to_o preach_v unto_o all_o nation_n then_o if_o they_o bring_v not_o forth_o fruit_n worthy_a amendment_n of_o life_n he_o tell_v they_o the_o axe_n be_v lay_v unto_o the_o root_n etc._n etc._n second_o because_o he_o that_o in_o old_a time_n break_v the_o law_n be_v accurse_v now_o this_o be_v the_o lord_n commandment_n 37._o that_o we_o love_v he_o but_o you_o will_v say_v we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o ourselves_o object_n and_o how_o then_o shall_v we_o do_v it_o i_o answer_v sol._n there_o be_v a_o twofold_a obedience_n legal_a and_o evangelicall_n that_o require_v exact_a obedience_n in_o our_o own_o person_n but_o this_o require_v no_o more_o but_o only_o our_o endeavour_n and_o faith_n in_o christ._n three_o because_o he_o love_v something_o else_o more_o than_o god_n and_o so_o commit_v adultery_n now_o she_o that_o in_o the_o old_a law_n do_v commit_v adultery_n have_v a_o drink_n of_o bitter_a water_n give_v she_o which_o make_v her_o belly_n swell_v etc._n etc._n 15._o so_o that_o she_o die_v how_o much_o more_o worthy_a of_o death_n be_v he_o then_o that_o thus_o deal_v with_o god_n and_o go_v a_o whore_v after_o it_o commit_v spiritual_a fornication_n four_o because_o that_o common_o belong_v to_o hypocrite_n they_o be_v a_o curse_a crew_n to_o who_o christ_n shall_v say_v at_o the_o last_o day_n go_v you_o curse_v etc._n etc._n now_o all_o such_o as_o love_v he_o not_o be_v no_o better_a nor_o worse_o but_o wretched_a and_o

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

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

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
