and_o governor_n in_o general_n for_o its_o object_n faith_n as_o it_o be_v a_o assent_n to_o god_n as_o the_o first_o truth_n reveal_v his_o mind_n to_o man_n or_o a_o reliance_n upon_o he_o as_o promise_v some_o thing_n to_o man_n self-denial_n and_o bear_v the_o cross_n as_o they_o be_v a_o total_a resignation_n of_o ourselves_o unto_o the_o will_n of_o god_n make_v know_v unto_o we_o i_o say_v all_o these_o in_o this_o sense_n be_v natural_o moral_a but_o consider_v these_o as_o terminate_v upon_o god_n as_o redeemer_n in_o christ_n either_o promise_v or_o exhibit_v and_o as_o condition_n upon_o which_o the_o salvation_n of_o sinful_a man_n depend_v by_o divine_a ordination_n they_o be_v not_o only_o natural_o but_o supernatural_o moral_a 9_o when_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n be_v contract_v and_o reduce_v to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o our_o neighbour_n we_o must_v understand_v that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n or_o the_o love_n we_o owe_v to_o god_n be_v not_o only_a antecedent_n and_o the_o first_o in_o order_n of_o nature_n but_o also_o of_o dignity_n &_o far_o high_a &_o great_a than_o the_o love_n of_o our_o neighbour_n or_o which_o be_v due_a unto_o our_o neighbour_n for_o we_o must_v love_v god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n soul_n mind_n might_n and_o so_o we_o must_v love_v nothing_o else_o god_n be_v worthy_a of_o infinite_a love_n and_o therefore_o he_o love_v himself_o infinite_o yet_o he_o require_v not_o in_o these_o word_n a_o infinite_a love_n from_o we_o who_o be_v infinite_a yet_o we_o must_v love_v he_o more_o than_o any_o other_o thing_n yea_o far_o more_o we_o must_v love_v he_o with_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o love_n that_o possible_o we_o can_v and_o shall_v be_v willing_a if_o we_o can_v to_o love_v he_o infinite_o we_o may_v exceed_v in_o love_a ourselves_o or_o any_o other_o thing_n in_o love_a god_n we_o can_v they_o that_o love_v he_o most_o love_v he_o far_o less_o than_o he_o deserve_v to_o love_n god_n with_o the_o whole_a heart_n be_v not_o only_o to_o love_n god_n sincere_o and_o true_o but_o to_o love_v he_o so_o as_o that_o his_o love_n may_v take_v up_o and_o fill_v the_o whole_a heart_n &_o this_o be_v to_o love_n god_n as_o god_n &_o if_o the_o whole_a heart_n be_v whole_o take_v up_o with_o this_o love_n than_o all_o the_o power_n and_o faculty_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n go_v along_o with_o the_o heart_n and_o be_v take_v up_o with_o it_o therefore_o these_o word_n all_o the_o soul_n mind_n strength_n be_v add_v to_o that_o of_o the_o whole_a heart_n to_o signify_v the_o great_a measure_n of_o this_o divine_a love_n 10._o the_o love_n of_o our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o pre-requireth_a the_o love_n of_o god_n for_o if_o we_o do_v not_o love_n god_n first_o we_o can_v neither_o love_v ourselves_o or_o our_o neighbour_n aright_o for_o our_o love_n of_o god_n must_v measure_v and_o qualify_v both_o the_o love_n of_o ourselves_o and_o our_o neighbour_n and_o render_v it_o acceptable_a to_o god_n 11._o this_o love_n of_o god_n presuppose_v our_o knowledge_n of_o god_n both_o as_o excellent_a and_o amiable_a in_o himself_o and_o as_o good_a and_o love_a to_o we_o especial_o in_o christ_n and_o therefore_o some_o act_n of_o faith_n in_o christ_n must_v go_v before_o this_o love_n of_o god_n as_o god_n and_o our_o god_n redeemer_n and_o sanctifier_n and_o as_o it_o presupose_v knowledge_n and_o in_o we_o christian_n faith_n in_o christ_n already_o come_v so_o it_o virtual_o include_v all_o subsequent_a duty_n and_o act_n of_o obedience_n sect._n 7._o therefore_o after_o 1._o the_o general_a observation_n premise_v and_o 2._o this_o discourse_n upon_o the_o several_a abridgement_n of_o the_o moral_a law_n i_o will_v in_o
