the_o saint_n communion_n and_o eternal_a happiness_n indeed_o a_o pious_a hate_v a_o wicked_a person_n but_o than_o it_o be_v with_o a_o perfect_a hatred_n that_o be_v such_o which_o want_v neither_o righteousness_n or_o knowledge_n or_o if_o you_o please_v thus_o he_o hate_v no_o person_n because_o of_o his_o vice_n and_o he_o love_v no_o vice_n because_o of_o the_o person_n now_o though_o the_o practice_n of_o this_o love_n be_v little_a yet_o the_o reason_n why_o it_o shall_v be_v otherwise_o be_v great_a and_o must_v be_v allow_v by_o every_o body_n who_o will_v give_v themselves_o leisure_n to_o weigh_v they_o and_o the_o topic_n from_o whence_o they_o be_v draw_v be_v god_n the_o world_n and_o our_o self_n the_o reason_n in_o respect_n of_o god_n appear_v thus_o the_o enemy_n which_o injure_v and_o offend_v we_o do_v principal_o offend_v god_n and_o not_o we_o for_o the_o fault_n be_v direct_o against_o god_n forbid_v it_o and_o but_o indirect_o against_o we_o who_o be_v injure_v this_o be_v plain_a in_o the_o case_n of_o david_n and_o uriah_n we_o all_o know_v david_n murder_v that_o good_a subject_n a_o stout_a brave_a captain_n and_o also_o that_o he_o commit_v adultery_n with_o bersheba_n his_o wife_n however_o because_o god_n be_v principal_o concern_v in_o these_o abominable_a crime_n because_o his_o law_n be_v break_v therefore_o david_n in_o his_o confession_n take_v no_o notice_n of_o the_o loyal_a captain_n who_o he_o have_v abuse_v but_o only_o that_o he_o have_v sin_v against_o 51._o psal._n 51._o god_n however_o the_o case_n we_o be_v upon_o may_v appear_v clear_a by_o this_o instance_n suppose_v any_o apothecary_n shall_v be_v so_o cruel_a and_o b._n n._n b._n wicked_a as_o to_o poison_v any_o of_o his_o neighbour_n with_o some_o deadly_a snuff_n and_o some_o person_n be_v accidental_o by_o the_o smell_n of_o it_o shall_v affect_v his_o head_n to_o his_o great_a damage_n now_o if_o the_o poison_a person_n do_v before_o his_o death_n free_o forgive_v the_o apothecary_n who_o intend_v only_o to_o kill_v he_o be_v there_o any_o reason_n that_o the_o other_o person_n shall_v be_v inexorable_a against_o the_o offender_n when_o he_o receive_v his_o mischief_n indirect_o and_o much_o beside_o his_o will_n and_o in_o a_o less_o degree_n now_o the_o inference_n be_v that_o since_o god_n who_o be_v the_o first_o and_o most_o offend_v forgive_v our_o enemy_n we_o shall_v go_v and_o do_v likewise_o again_o we_o shall_v consider_v that_o the_o affront_v which_o we_o receive_v and_o the_o injury_n do_v to_o we_o by_o our_o enemy_n proceed_v from_o god_n permissive_a providence_n and_o that_o they_o be_v only_o the_o instrument_n who_o malice_n god_n can_v guide_v to_o our_o good_a now_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o much_o philosopher_n as_o to_o reduce_v effect_n to_o their_o principal_a cause_n and_o since_o god_n permissive_a providence_n be_v the_o principal_a cause_n of_o the_o injury_n do_v to_o we_o we_o shall_v expostulate_v and_o contend_v with_o god_n concern_v they_o and_o we_o can_v devise_v no_o other_o proper_a way_n how_o this_o shall_v be_v do_v but_o by_o pay_v our_o allegiance_n to_o his_o majesty_n and_o by_o shut_v our_o 13._o cap._n 13._o mouth_n from_o speak_v against_o he_o and_o by_o open_v our_o ear_n wide_o to_o he_o we_o know_v who_o it_o be_v who_o say_v i_o be_v 39_o psal._n 39_o dumb_a and_o open_v not_o my_o mouth_n because_o thou_o lord_n do_v it_o thus_o do_v he_o only_o contend_v with_o god_n under_o the_o hardship_n of_o his_o enemy_n and_o so_o shall_v we_o tell_v i_o if_o a_o noble_a person_n shall_v be_v cudgel_v by_o the_o servant_n of_o any_o man_n will_v he_o be_v dogged_o revenge_v on_o the_o cudgel_n by_o cut_v it_o in_o piece_n or_o will_v he_o take_v his_o remedy_n only_o against_o the_o saucy_a servant_n who_o use_v it_o no_o no_o but_o he_o will_v implead_v the_o principal_a agent_n and_o expect_v from_o he_o the_o satisfaction_n which_o in_o that_o case_n the_o law_n allow_v he_o or_o else_o he_o will_v not_o right_o vindicate_v his_o honour_n to_o the_o world_n now_o since_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o divine_a providence_n that_o our_o enemy_n abuse_v and_o 〈◊〉_d we_o when_o at_o any_o time_n they_o do_v so_o god_n use_v they_o as_o his_o scourge_n to_o whip_v we_o we_o must_v hereupon_o either_o absurd_o and_o in_o vain_a as_o reap_v no_o satisfaction_n plead_v against_o they_o or_o against_o god_n himself_o and_o if_o we_o can_v resist_v he_o and_o prosper_v or_o impeach_v he_o and_o vindicate_v ourselves_o we_o may_v take_v this_o course_n it_o be_v more_o than_o worth_a our_o while_n to_o weigh_v such_o proceed_n and_o to_o make_v they_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o private_a meditation_n as_o occasion_n serve_v furthermore_o it_o shall_v not_o pass_v our_o notice_n that_o god_n himself_o do_v perform_v this_o office_n which_o he_o enjoin_v we_o he_o lay_v his_o hand_n to_o the_o same_o work_n and_o give_v we_o tool_n out_o of_o his_o own_o shop_n and_o make_v the_o sampler_n which_o shall_v direct_v we_o for_o we_o be_v all_o his_o enemy_n and_o yet_o he_o be_v our_o friend_n we_o have_v the_o sword_n in_o our_o hand_n towards_o he_o and_o he_o hold_v the_o sceptre_n the_o badge_n of_o peace_n towards_o we_o while_o we_o meet_v he_o as_o goliath_n do_v david_n he_o run_v towards_o we_o as_o the_o prodigal_n father_n do_v towards_o his_o son_n we_o all_o sin_n against_o he_o and_o yet_o he_o cause_v his_o sun_n to_o rise_v upon_o the_o good_a and_o evil_n and_o rain_n upon_o the_o just_a and_o unjust_a let_v i_o entreat_v you_o to_o ponder_v the_o consequence_n of_o the_o contrary_a shall_v god_n contend_v and_o fall_v out_o present_o with_o we_o his_o servant_n upon_o our_o fault_n against_o he_o all_o the_o element_n may_v soon_o deny_v we_o their_o observance_n and_o assistance_n the_o earth_n may_v not_o sustain_v we_o nor_o the_o sun_n shine_v upon_o or_o the_o fire_n heat_v we_o nor_o the_o air_n breath_n upon_o we_o nor_o the_o water_n refresh_v we_o but_o our_o god_n be_v gracious_a b._n n._n b._n and_o full_a of_o forgiveness_n and_o abundant_a in_o pardon_n and_o his_o mercy_n be_v numberless_a and_o he_o deal_v not_o with_o we_o as_o we_o deal_v with_o ourselves_o but_o permit_v we_o though_o his_o enemy_n to_o have_v the_o use_n and_o benefit_n of_o these_o his_o creature_n and_o hereto_o we_o may_v add_v that_o he_o love_o give_v we_o life_n motion_n sense_n apparel_n food_n friend_n and_o all_o thing_n necessary_a and_o he_o so_o overcome_v our_o great_a enemy_n satan_n that_o he_o can_v hurt_v we_o as_o he_o will_v and_o daily_o strive_v to_o do_v and_o thus_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o in_o reference_n to_o god_n we_o may_v frame_v a_o reason_n a_o undeniable_a reason_n why_o we_o shall_v love_v our_o enemy_n and_o if_o we_o will_v further_o consider_v that_o the_o whole_a world_n do_v thus_o and_o that_o in_o all_o its_o part_n we_o may_v hence_o frame_v another_o argument_n for_o this_o duty_n for_o we_o daily_o tread_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o frequent_o rend_v it_o in_o piece_n and_o dig_v it_o up_o and_o cast_v upon_o it_o all_o our_o filth_n and_o excrement_n however_o that_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n render_v to_o we_o good_a for_o evil_n for_o it_o produce_v for_o our_o use_n herb_n fruit_n plant_n ay!_o gold_n silver_n precious_a stone_n and_o all_o metal_n we_o cut_v and_o scrape_v the_o vine_n and_o tree_n yearly_a however_o they_o afford_v great_a store_n of_o grape_n and_o apple_n pass_v we_o on_o to_o the_o sensitive_a part_n and_o tell_v i_o do_v we_o severe_o and_o sometime_o cruel_o whip_v and_o kick_v and_o beat_v our_o dog_n however_o they_o soon_o forget_v all_o that_o ill_a usage_n and_o
