of_o meekness_n mercy_n and_o universal_a love_n thus_o imperfect_a striver_n may_v employ_v themselves_o in_o the_o external_a office_n of_o religion_n i_o have_v instance_a only_o in_o three_o the_o

men._n the_o soul_n natural_o love_v beauty_n and_o perfection_n and_o all_o mankind_n apprehend_v god_n to_o be_v of_o all_o being_n the_o most_o beautiful_a and_o perfect_a and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o have_v a_o intellectual_a love_n for_o he_o the_o reason_n that_o that_o love_n take_v no_o hold_n of_o the_o passion_n in_o wicked_a man_n be_v partly_o because_o they_o be_v divert_v from_o the_o thought_n of_o he_o by_o the_o object_n of_o sense_n but_o chief_o because_o they_o consider_v he_o as_o their_o enemy_n and_o therefore_o can_v have_v no_o complacency_n or_o delight_n in_o he_o who_o they_o think_v have_v nothing_o but_o thought_n of_o enmity_n and_o displeasure_n against_o they_o but_o if_o once_o they_o come_v to_o be_v persuade_v as_o many_o time_n by_o such_o false_a mark_n as_o i_o have_v recite_v they_o be_v that_o god_n be_v their_o father_n and_o peculiar_a friend_n that_o they_o be_v his_o choose_a and_o his_o darling_n who_o he_o love_v from_o

only_o a_o esteem_n in_o the_o understanding_n do_v kindle_v in_o the_o affection_n by_o the_o help_n of_o the_o conceit_n of_o god_n love_v they_o so_o dear_o and_o the_o passion_n thus_o heat_v run_v out_o even_o into_o seraphic_a and_o rapturous_a devotion_n while_o yet_o all_o this_o be_v but_o mere_a animal_n love_n excite_v chief_o by_o the_o love_n of_o ourselves_o not_o of_o the_o

than_o to_o some_o suavity_n and_o pleasant_a fancy_n within_o ourselves_o and_o some_o passionate_a compliment_n of_o the_o image_n we_o have_v set_v up_o in_o our_o imagination_n this_o love_n will_v consist_v with_o hatred_n and_o contempt_n of_o all_o that_o be_v not_o like_o ourselves_o yea_o and_o it_o will_v produce_v it_o those_o poisonous_a fruit_n and_o vile_a affection_n may_v be_v

unseasonable_a zeal_n for_o truth_n while_o man_n have_v not_o make_v a_o difference_n between_o those_o that_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v and_o know_v and_o those_o other_o which_o may_v

be_v zealous_a for_o more_o truth_n than_o what_o god_n have_v make_v necessary_a and_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v zealous_a for_o more_o than_o what_o scripture_n and_o reason_n have_v make_v certain_a that_o the_o necessary_a and_o certain_a thing_n be_v very_o few_o and_o the_o remote_a doctrine_n difficult_a and_o deep_a that_o we_o may_v easy_o be_v deceive_v in_o speculative_a point_n where_o so_o much_o acuteness_n and_o freedom_n and_o care_n and_o diligence_n be_v needful_a that_o the_o great_a part_n embrace_v shadow_n and_o their_o zeal_n be_v for_o folly_n and_o falsehood_n that_o our_o brethren_n may_v be_v good_a man_n though_o they_o understand_v not_o many_o thing_n that_o we_o know_v or_o err_v in_o many_o in_o which_o we_o judge_v aright_o that_o the_o benefit_n of_o a_o opinion_n if_o true_a will_v not_o make_v amends_o for_o the_o trouble_n and_o disturbance_n that_o be_v make_v to_o promote_v it_o and_o that_o charity_n be_v more_o valuable_a than_o knowledge_n 1_o
