be_v doubtless_o far_o from_o be_v a_o eminent_a christian_a and_o those_o that_o make_v this_o covenant_n be_v not_o only_o to_o tell_v one_o another_o what_o they_o see_v evident_a to_o be_v amiss_o

great_a deal_n of_o good_a from_o slander_n for_o general_o we_o do_v something_o that_o give_v some_o occasion_n to_o the_o slanderer_n to_o misreport_v we_o for_o if_o they_o report_v that_o one_o be_v a_o drunkard_n and_o a_o glutton_n though_o we_o may_v be_v far_o from_o deserve_v those_o calumny_n yet_o it_o give_v we_o just_a occasion_n to_o examine_v ourselves_o whether_o we_o do_v not_o

another_o great_a advantage_n from_o this_o our_o communion_n with_o the_o saint_n be_v our_o be_v acquaint_v with_o all_o their_o spiritual_a experience_n the_o way_n &_o mean_n that_o god_n use_v

else_o they_o will_v much_o humble_v we_o when_o we_o consider_v the_o strange_a frame_n of_o our_o own_o heart_n that_o those_o place_n that_o make_v other_o like_o the_o charet_n of_o aminadab_n

for_o i_o hope_v this_o night_n the_o nuptial_n between_o my_o saviour_n and_o my_o soul_n shall_v be_v consummate_a i_o ask_v she_o if_o she_o can_v remember_v the_o time_n of_o her_o conversion_n

that_o which_o god_n require_v of_o they_o that_o they_o shall_v love_v we_o but_o if_o we_o know_v that_o it_o be_v no_o way_n in_o reference_n to_o god_n we_o ought_v also_o to_o disrelish_v it_o upon_o that_o account_n those_o that_o preach_v christ_n out_o of_o envy_n the_o apostle_n say_v he_o do_v rejoice_v and_o will_v rejoice_v but_o it_o be_v that_o christ_n be_v preach_v not_o that_o he_o be_v preach_v out_o of_o envy_n that_o doubtless_o be_v some_o trouble_n to_o he_o one_o may_v delight_v in_o the_o love_n of_o wife_n child_n friend_n etc._n etc._n but_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o grief_n to_o we_o that_o it_o shall_v be_v any_o way_n proportionable_a to_o that_o love_n which_o they_o shall_v bear_v to_o christ_n indeed_o thus_o far_o we_o may_v rejoice_v in_o their_o love_n viz._n because_o by_o that_o mean_v we_o have_v a_o great_a advantage_n to_o make_v our_o spiritual_a advice_n and_o instruction_n and_o discourse_n of_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n more_o pleasant_a hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o apostle_n do_v endeavour_v captare_fw-la benevolentiam_fw-la to_o gain_v the_o heart_n of_o those_o to_o who_o he_o write_v or_o preach_v but_o it_o be_v that_o he_o may_v gain_v they_o not_o to_o himself_o but_o to_o christ_n from_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o minister_n ought_v according_o to_o endeavour_v to_o gain_v the_o heart_n of_o those_o over_o who_o god_n have_v place_v they_o that_o he_o enter_v in_o and_o have_v a_o place_n in_o their_o heart_n himself_o may_v have_v the_o better_a opportunity_n of_o let_v in_o christ_n also_o the_o second_o high_a degree_n of_o love_n be_v rather_o to_o be_v act_v by_o then_o to_o act_v love_n when_o we_o have_v love_n as_o we_o be_v say_v to_o have_v a_o ague_n or_o a_o fever_n which_o rather_o indeed_o have_v we_o than_o we_o they_o and_o the_o spouse_n do_v call_v it_o be_v sick_a of_o love_n not_o that_o love_n be_v a_o distemper_n or_o a_o disease_n but_o that_o as_o a_o disease_n to_o our_o hurt_n so_o the_o love_n of_o god_n rule_v we_o and_o over-power_n we_o for_o our_o good_a so_o that_o to_o say_v proper_o love_n be_v not_o so_o true_o in_o we_o as_o we_o in_o love_n when_o love_n be_v turn_v into_o ravishment_n of_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o the_o three_o excellency_n of_o love_n be_v when_o it_o constrain_v we_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v when_o we_o neither_o can_v nor_o will_v stand_v out_o against_o the_o power_n of_o love_n it_o be_v say_v of_o christ_n that_o he_o be_v drive_v into_o the_o wilderness_n by_o the_o spirit_n in_o one_o evangelist_n in_o another_o that_o he_o be_v lead_v to_o show_v that_o he_o go_v willing_o yet_o with_o so_o much_o speed_n as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v drive_v as_o long_o as_o thou_o can_v rule_v thy_o love_n to_o god_n thy_o love_n as_o yet_o have_v not_o come_v to_o that_o height_n and_o paroxysm_n that_o it_o ought_v to_o do_v for_o wheresoever_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v it_o ought_v to_o rule_v the_o soul_n in_o which_o it_o dwell_v for_o as_o before_o regeneration_n corruption_n give_v law_n to_o the_o whole_a man_n and_o carry_v it_o whether_o soever_o he_o please_v so_o that_o he_o can_v so_o much_o as_o bridle_v it_o so_o after_o regeneration_n love_n shall_v be_v the_o chief_a monarch_n the_o four_o excellency_n of_o love_n be_v when_o it_o make_v we_o to_o triumph_v in_o and_o over_o difficulty_n and_o danger_n and_o suffering_n it_o be_v a_o high_a act_n of_o christ_n love_n to_o we_o when_o his_o love_n make_v he_o more_o complain_v until_o he_o suffer_v than_o when_o he_o suffer_v upon_o the_o cross_n i_o have_v a_o baptism_n to_o be_v baptize_v withal_o and_o how_o be_o i_o straighten_v until_o it_o be_v accomplish_v he_o think_v it_o long_o while_o he_o suffer_v not_o when_o he_o suffer_v we_o read_v of_o those_o that_o rejoice_v more_o in_o the_o spoil_n of_o their_o good_n than_o other_o do_v in_o great_a spoil_n so_o the_o apostle_n that_o they_o be_v think_v worthy_a to_o suffer_v for_o christ_n they_o take_v a_o holy_a pride_n in_o their_o shame_n and_o pleasure_n in_o their_o pain_n when_o danger_n and_o suffering_n threaten_v we_o in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n we_o shall_v do_v as_o the_o saint_n do_v in_o the_o primitive_a church_n when_o the_o wild_a beast_n be_v let_v loose_a upon_o they_o they_o come_v with_o stretched-out_a arm_n to_o meet_v and_o as_o it_o be_v embrace_v they_o we_o shall_v be_v glad_a of_o have_v any_o opportunity_n to_o express_v our_o love_n to_o god_n it_o be_v a_o poor_a thing_n when_o we_o serve_v god_n only_o of_o that_o which_o cost_v we_o nothing_o we_o read_v of_o a_o woman_n who_o in_o the_o time_n of_o persecution_n come_v run_v all_o undress_v and_o they_o ask_v she_o what_o she_o mean_v and_o she_o say_v it_o be_v for_o fear_n she_o shall_v come_v too_o late_o to_o suffer_v martyrdom_n for_o that_o day_n there_o be_v divers_a that_o be_v put_v to_o death_n for_o christ_n and_o she_o come_v lest_o she_o shall_v loose_v that_o crown_n 5._o then_o love_n be_v strong_a when_o we_o can_v love_v god_n when_o there_o be_v nothing_o else_o to_o love_v but_o god_n when_o he_o strip_v we_o of_o all_o his_o blessing_n and_o let_v we_o satan_n lose_v upon_o we_o as_o he_o do_v upon_o job_n nay_o when_o he_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o leave_v we_o his_o love_n to_o love_v he_o for_o but_o take_v away_o the_o sense_n of_o that_o also_o shut_v out_o our_o prayer_n run_v on_o we_o like_o a_o giant_n as_o job_n speak_v when_o we_o see_v nothing_o but_o his_o frown_n his_o wrath_n when_o our_o enjoyment_n be_v go_v our_o hope_n go_v nothing_o leave_v but_o a_o sad_a expectation_n and_o fearful_a look_v for_o of_o judgement_n and_o fiery_a wrath_n of_o god_n for_o a_o soul_n in_o this_o case_n yet_o to_o love_n god_n as_o those_o in_o desertion_n do_v they_o will_v not_o sin_v against_o god_n for_o a_o world_n nay_o that_o which_o make_v hell_n terrible_a to_o they_o be_v that_o if_o they_o go_v thither_o they_o shall_v blaspheme_v he_o there_o i_o have_v hear_v of_o one_o that_o when_o god_n deliver_v she_o out_o of_o her_o desertion_n she_o acknowledge_v that_o when_o she_o be_v in_o they_o as_o she_o have_v be_v go_v along_o in_o the_o street_n she_o expect_v every_o step_n to_o sink_v down_o into_o hell_n yet_o if_o she_o have_v hear_v but_o a_o oath_n swear_v she_o be_v ready_a to_o fall_v down_o dead_a it_o be_v such_o a_o horror_n and_o abomination_n to_o she_o to_o hear_v god_n dishonour_v it_o be_v report_v of_o another_o who_o be_v ask_v what_o he_o will_v do_v if_o god_n shall_v cast_v he_o down_o into_o hell_n he_o answer_v that_o he_o have_v two_o arm_n the_o one_o of_o faith_n the_o other_o of_o love_n and_o he_o will_v embrace_v he_o so_o that_o he_o will_v carry_v he_o with_o he_o and_o then_o hell_n will_v be_v heaven_n 6._o another_o great_a act_n of_o love_n be_v when_o one_o have_v all_o thing_n and_o god_n with_o god_n yet_o to_o love_v nothing_o but_o god_n this_o be_v that_o excellent_a frame_n of_o spirit_n that_o they_o in_o heaven_n have_v that_o though_o there_o be_v so_o many_o rare_a and_o wonderful_a enjoyment_n such_o as_o the_o least_o whereof_o will_v astonish_v and_o ravish_v we_o yet_o they_o no_o way_n divert_v the_o thought_n or_o abate_v the_o love_n of_o those_o that_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o indeed_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o god_n have_v reserve_v those_o joy_n in_o abundance_n for_o that_o place_n for_o if_o god_n shall_v vouchsafe_v we_o to_o see_v and_o hear_v those_o thing_n that_o they_o see_v and_o hear_v they_o will_v be_v temptation_n to_o we_o instead_o of_o blessing_n and_o we_o shall_v fall_v in_o love_n with_o heaven_n more_o than_o god_n or_o else_o we_o shall_v be_v past_a hope_n or_o some_o other_o way_n be_v distemper_v for_o so_o it_o have_v be_v with_o paul_n if_o god_n have_v not_o send_v he_o a_o messenger_n of_o satan_n to_o buffet_v he_o it_o have_v be_v better_a for_o he_o to_o have_v want_v those_o revelation_n but_o they_o in_o heaven_n be_v able_a to_o bear_v that_o weight_n of_o glory_n which_o will_v sink_v we_o but_o it_o be_v but_o their_o ballast_n and_o make_v they_o more_o steady_a in_o their_o joy_n that_o wine_n that_o do_v but_o refresh_v a_o giant_n will_v distemper_v a_o child_n that_o which_o make_v he_o more_o active_a will_v lay_v a_o child_n asleep_a and_o whole_o disable_v he_o it_o seem_v it_o may_v be_v to_o some_o a_o hard_a matter_n to_o be_v patient_a and_o holy_a under_o great_a affliction_n but_o doubtless_o it_o require_v more_o
