the_o ability_n to_o do_v it_o but_o beside_o these_o there_o be_v other_o habit_n that_o be_v plant_v by_o nature_n in_o we_o as_o a_o ability_n to_o hear_v to_o see_v to_o taste_v etc._n etc._n now_o for_o these_o we_o need_v not_o any_o action_n of_o our_o own_o for_o the_o attain_n of_o they_o because_o they_o be_v plant_v in_o we_o by_o nature_n so_o it_o be_v in_o these_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o salvation_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o we_o may_v get_v habit_n of_o moral_a virtue_n by_o labour_n and_o pain_n of_o our_o own_o there_o be_v action_n of_o our_o own_o require_v to_o

there_o it_o be_v not_o so_o those_o habit_n that_o nature_n have_v plant_v in_o we_o we_o exercise_v they_o natural_o without_o do_v any_o action_n of_o our_o own_o to_o attain_v they_o as_o we_o

yet_o have_v choose_v this_o way_n above_o all_o other_o to_o save_v man_n only_o by_o faith_n receive_v the_o righteousness_n of_o christ_n which_o he_o have_v wrought_v for_o we_o you_o shall_v find_v these_o four_o reason_n for_o it_o in_o the_o scripture_n two_o of_o they_o be_v set_v down_o rom._n 4.16_o therefore_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o it_o may_v come_v by_o grace_n reason_n mark_v it_o this_o be_v one_o reason_n why_o god_n will_v have_v it_o by_o faith_n that_o it_o may_v be_v of_o grace_n for_o if_o any_o thing_n have_v be_v wrought_v by_o we_o as_o he_o say_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o chapter_n it_o must_v have_v be_v give_v as_o wage_n and_o so_o it_o have_v be_v receive_v by_o debt_n and_o not_o by_o favour_n but_o this_o be_v god_n end_n in_o it_o to_o make_v know_v the_o exceed_a length_n and_o breadth_n of_o his_o love_n and_o how_o unsearchable_a the_o riches_n of_o christ_n be_v his_o end_n be_v to_o have_v his_o grace_n magnify_v now_o if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o action_n of_o we_o require_v but_o mere_o the_o receive_n of_o it_o by_o faith_n it_o have_v not_o be_v mere_o of_o grace_n for_o faith_n empty_v a_o man_n it_o take_v a_o man_n quite_o off_o his_o own_o bottom_n faith_n come_v as_o a_o empty_a hand_n and_o receive_v all_o from_o god_n and_o give_v all_o to_o god._n now_o that_o it_o may_v be_v acknowledge_v to_o be_v free_a and_o to_o be_v altogether_o of_o grace_n for_o this_o cause_n god_n will_v have_v salvation_n propound_v to_o man_n to_o be_v receive_v by_o faith_n only_o second_o reason_n as_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o it_o may_v come_v by_o grace_n so_o also_o that_o it_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o the_o promise_n may_v be_v sure_a if_o it_o have_v be_v any_o other_o way_n it_o have_v never_o be_v sure_a put_v the_o case_n that_o god_n have_v put_v we_o upon_o the_o condition_n of_o obedience_n and_o have_v give_v we_o grace_n and_o ability_n as_o he_o do_v to_o adam_n yet_o the_o law_n be_v strict_a and_o the_o least_o fail_a will_v have_v breed_v fear_n and_o doubt_n and_o will_v have_v cause_v death_n but_o now_o when_o the_o righteousness_n that_o save_v we_o be_v wrought_v already_o by_o god_n and_o offer_v to_o we_o by_o he_o and_o offer_v free_o and_o that_o the_o ground_n of_o this_o offer_n be_v the_o sure_a word_n of_o god_n and_o it_o be_v not_o a_o conjectural_a thing_n now_o we_o may_v build_v infallible_o upon_o it_o for_o unless_o faith_n have_v foot_v on_o the_o word_n we_o can_v say_v it_o be_v sure_a all_o thing_n else_o be_v mutable_a and_o subject_a to_o change_v therefore_o when_o god_n have_v once_o say_v it_o we_o may_v firm_o rest_v in_o it_o and_o it_o be_v sure_a and_o this_o be_v the_o second_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v only_o by_o faith_n reason_n three_o it_o be_v by_o faith_n that_o it_o may_v be_v to_o all_o the_o seed_n not_o only_o to_o those_o that_o be_v of_o the_o law_n but_o also_o to_o they_o which_o be_v stranger_n to_o the_o law_n if_o it_o have_v be_v by_o the_o law_n than_o salvation_n have_v be_v shut_v up_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o jew_n for_o the_o gentile_n be_v stranger_n to_o the_o law_n of_o

faith_n to_o lay_v hold_n upon_o it_o when_o there_o be_v no_o more_o look_v for_o but_o believe_v and_o receive_v hence_o it_o come_v to_o be_v to_o all_o the_o seed_n for_o abraham_n himself_o before_o he_o be_v circumcise_v he_o be_v as_o a_o common_a man_n the_o veil_n be_v not_o then_o set_v up_o yet_o even_o then_o his_o faith_n be_v impute_v to_o he_o for_o righteousness_n the_o last_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v of_o faith_n reason_n be_v that_o no_o man_n may_v boast_v that_o no_o flesh_n may_v rejoice_v in_o itself_o for_o if_o it_o have_v be_v by_o any_o other_o mean_n by_o any_o

when_o there_o be_v more_o thing_n reveal_v to_o they_o and_o i_o take_v it_o this_o place_n will_v carry_v that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o god_n be_v reveal_v from_o faith_n to_o faith_n that_o

because_o they_o grow_v from_o revelation_n to_o revelation_n than_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v send_v into_o their_o heart_n to_o reveal_v all_o thing_n and_o to_o lead_v they_o into_o all_o truth_n you_o know_v they_o have_v abundance_n of_o revelation_n afterward_o so_o in_o this_o regard_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o extent_n faith_n receive_v degree_n not_o because_o the_o habit_n be_v

a_o true_a habit_n and_o as_o true_a a_o grace_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o though_o a_o man_n be_v more_o conversant_a in_o scripture_n and_o know_v more_o than_o they_o he_o have_v more_o revelation_n

must_v grow_v in_o all_o these_o first_o as_o faith_n admit_v of_o degree_n so_o we_o must_v labour_v to_o grow_v in_o all_o these_o degree_n first_o labour_n to_o grow_v to_o a_o more_o full_a and_o

it_o then_o nothing_o say_v he_o but_o only_a faith_n now_o lest_o we_o shall_v be_v mistake_v in_o this_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v require_v nothing_o at_o their_o hand_n but_o a_o empty_a idle_a

paul_n in_o eph._n 1._o 1.18_o in_o all_o the_o former_a part_n of_o the_o chapter_n to_o the_o 18._o verse_n have_v declare_v the_o great_a mystery_n of_o salvation_n he_o take_v himself_o upon_o

yet_o i_o have_v a_o good_a meaning_n i_o intend_v it_o at_o that_o time_n well_o that_o be_v not_o enough_o if_o thou_o have_v faith_n thou_o will_v do_v it_o indeed_o do_v not_o say_v i_o have_v a_o

of_o the_o chief_a ruler_n believe_v in_o he_o but_o they_o dare_v not_o confess_v he_o lest_o they_o shall_v be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o synagogue_n put_v the_o case_n that_o thou_o be_v in_o such_o

indeed_o take_v two_o man_n the_o one_o will_v be_v content_a to_o be_v cast_v out_o he_o will_v confess_v christ_n come_v what_o will_v of_o it_o another_o man_n when_o it_o come_v to_o such_o a_o

for_o to_o be_v hate_v of_o some_o man_n a_o man_n may_v bear_v it_o well_o enough_o but_o to_o have_v all_o man_n hand_n against_o he_o to_o be_v exclude_v of_o all_o good_a company_n as_o they_o say_v such_o a_o thing_n a_o man_n shall_v have_v much_o ado_n to_o bear_v to_o lose_v all_o his_o worldly_a credit_n all_o his_o friend_n but_o when_o it_o come_v to_o such_o a_o case_n one_o man_n be_v willing_a to_o bear_v these_o because_o he_o trust_v in_o god_n i_o know_v who_o i_o have_v trust_v say_v paul_n therefore_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o undergo_v all_o shame_n to_o endure_v

i_o so_o long_o as_o i_o may_v not_o see_v the_o king_n face_n it_o be_v but_o his_o craftiness_n yet_o thus_o much_o we_o may_v observe_v out_o of_o it_o that_o this_o be_v the_o property_n of_o love_n that_o till_o a_o man_n see_v the_o face_n of_o god_n that_o be_v till_o he_o enjoy_v a_o near_a and_o close_a communion_n with_o god_n until_o he_o can_v have_v the_o love_n of_o god_n witness_v to_o his_o soul_n he_o care_v for_o nothing_o in_o the_o world_n beside_o as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o 2_o chron._n 7.14_o you_o have_v that_o condition_n put_v in_o 7.14_o if_o my_o people_n say_v he_o when_o they_o be_v in_o distress_n shall_v humble_v themselves_o and_o seek_v my_o face_n than_o i_o will_v do_v thus_o and_o thus_o as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v it_o may_v be_v they_o may_v seek_v liberty_n when_o they_o be_v in_o captivity_n it_o may_v be_v they_o may_v seek_v health_n when_o they_o be_v in_o sickness_n it_o may_v be_v they_o may_v seek_v deliverance_n from_o

hear_v in_o heaven_n etc._n etc._n so_o i_o say_v now_o if_o you_o will_v try_v whether_o you_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n or_o no_o consider_v whether_o you_o seek_v his_o face_n that_o be_v whether_o you_o seek_v grace_n or_o no_o whether_o nothing_o in_o the_o world_n can_v content_v you_o but_o his_o favour_n for_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o one_o that_o be_v true_o sanctify_v mercy_n alone_o will_v not_o content_v he_o but_o he_o will_v have_v grace_n as_o well_o as_o mercy_n another_o man_n that_o love_v not_o the_o lord_n it_o be_v true_a it_o may_v be_v he_o be_v pinch_v with_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o sin_n but_o let_v he_o have_v mercy_n it_o be_v enough_o he_o think_v but_o now_o take_v a_o man_n that_o have_v his_o heart_n right_a towards_o god_n except_o he_o have_v grace_n it_o content_v he_o not_o for_o that_o be_v the_o property_n and_o nature_n of_o true_a love_n that_o it_o care_v for_o no_o wage_n all_o that_o it_o desire_n be_v the_o love_n of_o the_o party_n that_o what_o it_o do_v may_v be_v acknowledge_v and_o accept_v and_o there_o be_v a_o great_a difference_n in_o that_o you_o know_v a_o nurse_n do_v much_o unto_o the_o child_n as_o well_o as_o the_o mother_n and_o it_o may_v be_v more_o but_o notwithstanding_o the_o nurse_n never_o do_v it_o but_o when_o she_o be_v hire_v but_o the_o mother_n do_v it_o for_o nothing_o and_o she_o do_v it_o more_o abundant_o because_o she_o do_v it_o out_o of_o love_n and_o it_o be_v wage_n enough_o to_o she_o that_o she_o have_v do_v it_o because_o she_o love_v her_o child_n so_o i_o say_v if_o you_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n it_o be_v not_o wage_n that_o you_o seek_v but_o if_o you_o may_v have_v the_o light_n of_o his_o countenance_n to_o shine_v on_o you_o if_o you_o may_v have_v his_o favour_n if_o you_o may_v have_v opportunity_n to_o do_v he_o service_n in_o your_o place_n it_o be_v enough_o for_o you_o you_o care_v not_o for_o the_o present_a wage_n nor_o for_o future_a therefore_o herein_o you_o may_v know_v the_o nature_n of_o your_o love_n the_o rightnesse_n and_o ingenuity_n of_o it_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o all_o that_o you_o do_v be_v out_o of_o love_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o if_o you_o can_v content_v yourselves_o with_o love_n again_o from_o god_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o you_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n again_o 4.8_o to_o proceed_v if_o you_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n you_o will_v also_o love_v his_o appearance_n as_o you_o have_v it_o in_o 2_o tim._n 4.8_o a_o crown_n of_o righteousness_n be_v lay_v up_o for_o i_o and_o as_o

so_o that_o it_o be_v certain_a every_o man_n that_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n he_o love_v his_o appearance_n he_o hasten_v to_o the_o come_n of_o the_o lord_n he_o look_v for_o his_o come_n again_o and_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o in_o reason_n for_o if_o you_o love_v any_o you_o know_v you_o must_v needs_o love_v their_o presence_n will_v you_o profess_v that_o you_o be_v love_v to_o any_o that_o when_o you_o hear_v of_o their_o come_n towards_o you_o there_o be_v no_o news_n more_o unacceptable_a to_o you_o if_o a_o woman_n have_v a_o husband_n in_o the_o east_n indies_n and_o report_n of_o his_o come_a home_n shall_v be_v the_o worst_a news_n that_o she_o can_v hear_v shall_v we_o think_v that_o such_o a_o woman_n love_v her_o husband_n so_o if_o you_o do_v love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n you_o will_v be_v glad_a to_o have_v his_o appearance_n and_o belove_v see_v the_o apostle_n have_v choose_v out_o this_o note_n why_o shall_v not_o we_o press_v it_o in_o our_o examination_n of_o ourselves_o whereby_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o we_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n or_o no_o whether_o we_o desire_v to_o be_v with_o the_o lord_n whether_o we_o can_v say_v as_o the_o apostle_n

love_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n man_n be_v so_o exceed_v backward_o in_o desire_v to_o be_v at_o home_n and_o to_o be_v with_o he_o and_o we_o may_v know_v that_o by_o our_o backwardness_n to_o be_v in_o the_o lord_n presence_n upon_o earth_n shall_v we_o think_v that_o man_n be_v desirous_a to_o be_v in_o his_o presence_n in_o heaven_n and_o yet_o be_v so_o unwilling_a to_o draw_v near_o to_o he_o upon_o earth_n but_o you_o will_v object_v object_n many_o of_o those_o that_o love_v the_o lord_n that_o be_v man_n true_o sanctify_v yet_o be_v afraid_a of_o death_n and_o the_o news_n of_o

1._o i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a there_o may_v be_v a_o backwardness_n even_o in_o the_o saint_n but_o you_o must_v know_v upon_o what_o ground_n it_o be_v a_o spouse_n that_o be_v to_o marry_v a_o

perhaps_o she_o desire_v not_o his_o come_n at_o that_o time_n there_o be_v a_o certain_a negligence_n and_o unpreparednesse_n in_o man_n heart_n which_o breed_v a_o unwillingness_n in_o they_o sometime_o and_o make_v they_o afraid_a of_o see_v the_o lord_n and_o yet_o there_o may_v be_v a_o true_a and_o inward_a love_n after_o he_o beside_o you_o know_v there_o be_v flesh_n as_o well_o as_o

by_o break_v our_o nature_n in_o piece_n as_o it_o be_v that_o be_v by_o humiliation_n and_o by_o the_o law_n again_o by_o mould_v it_o anew_o which_o be_v do_v by_o faith_n and_o by_o the_o gospel_n for_o when_o we_o come_v and_o propound_v christ_n to_o man_n to_o be_v take_v and_o to_o be_v receive_v and_o love_v by_o they_o what_o be_v the_o answer_n we_o have_v from_o they_o most_o man_n either_o mind_n he_o not_o or_o regard_v not_o at_o all_o this_o invitation_n to_o come_v to_o christ_n but_o they_o deal_v with_o we_o as_o those_o that_o be_v invite_v to_o the_o marriage_n say_v the_o text_n they_o make_v light_a of_o it_o they_o care_v not_o for_o the_o invitation_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n they_o look_v not_o after_o or_o again_o if_o they_o do_v yet_o they_o mind_n they_o vot_o enough_o because_o they_o do_v not_o prize_n christ_n enough_o therefore_o the_o first_o thing_n the_o lord_n do_v to_o prepare_v man_n heart_n to_o love_v he_o be_v to_o send_v the_o law_n to_o humble_v they_o to_o discover_v to_o man_n what_o need_v they_o be_v in_o to_o make_v a_o impression_n on_o their_o heart_n of_o that_o bond_n of_o damnation_n that_o they_o be_v subject_a unto_o when_o the_o law_n be_v break_v that_o man_n eye_n may_v be_v open_v to_o see_v their_o sin_n then_o a_o man_n begin_v to_o look_v towards_o christ_n to_o look_v on_o he_o as_o the_o captive_a look_n on_o his_o redeemer_n as_o a_o condemn_a man_n look_v on_o he_o that_o bring_v he_o a_o pardon_n as_o a_o widow_n that_o be_v miserable_a and_o poor_a indebt_v and_o undo_v look_v upon_o her_o husband_n that_o will_v make_v her_o rich_a and_o honourable_a that_o will_v pay_v all_o her_o debt_n i_o say_v when_o a_o man_n heart_n be_v thus_o humble_v and_o break_v by_o the_o law_n by_o sound_a humiliation_n than_o he_o begin_v to_o look_v towards_o jesus_n christ._n but_o i_o say_v man_n do_v fail_v partly_o that_o they_o have_v no_o sense_n of_o their_o sin_n or_o else_o they_o have_v a_o sense_n of_o their_o sin_n but_o not_o enough_o to_o bring_v they_o home_o to_o christ_n for_o that_o be_v the_o fault_n of_o the_o second_o and_o three_o ground_n there_o be_v impression_n make_v in_o they_o that_o they_o prize_v christ_n but_o there_o be_v not_o so_o deep_a a_o preparation_n as_o to_o love_v christ_n indeed_o so_o as_o to_o prefer_v he_o above_o all_o thing_n so_o as_o to_o cleave_v to_o he_o so_o as_o they_o will_v let_v he_o go_v for_o nothing_o and_o therefore_o this_o be_v require_v that_o our_o nature_n be_v break_v all_o in_o piece_n that_o be_v that_o the_o humiliation_n be_v deep_a enough_o not_o a_o little_a light_a impression_n a_o little_a hang_v down_o of_o the_o head_n a_o little_a sense_n of_o sin_n but_o so_o far_o as_o it_o may_v be_v to_o purpose_n that_o he_o look_v to_o christ_n as_o to_o the_o great_a good_a in_o the_o world_n that_o he_o will_v rather_o undergo_v any_o thing_n than_o miss_v of_o he_o that_o he_o will_v rather_o part_v with_o all_o his_o pleasure_n than_o he_o will_v go_v without_o he_o that_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o must_v be_v do_v to_o prepare_v our_o heart_n for_o this_o love_n our_o heart_n must_v be_v humble_v by_o the_o law_n now_o when_o this_o be_v do_v they_o must_v be_v make_v up_o again_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o they_o must_v be_v mould_v anew_o and_o that_o be_v do_v by_o the_o gospel_n and_o by_o faith_n for_o when_o the_o heart_n be_v
thus_o prepare_v now_o let_v the_o gospel_n come_v and_o welcome_n now_o a_o man_n heart_n be_v fit_a to_o be_v wrought_v on_o why_o what_o do_v the_o gospel_n the_o gospel_n come_v and_o tell_v you_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v willing_a to_o be_v your_o redeemer_n be_v willing_a to_o be_v your_o lord_n he_o be_v content_a to_o be_v you_o if_o you_o will_v take_v he_o you_o shall_v have_v he_o and_o all_o he_o now_o when_o a_o man_n heart_n be_v break_v you_o can_v bring_v he_o better_o news_n indeed_o till_o then_o you_o may_v go_v and_o preach_v the_o gospel_n long_o enough_o you_o may_v propound_v christ_n to_o man_n they_o will_v not_o take_v he_o but_o when_o we_o propound_v he_o thus_o to_o a_o heart_n prepare_v thus_o to_o he_o that_o be_v poor_a in_o spirit_n to_o he_o that_o have_v his_o heart_n wound_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o sin_n and_o of_o god_n wrath_n now_o i_o i_o say_v he_o be_v willing_a to_o come_v in_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o take_v christ_n as_o a_o lord_n as_o a_o husband_n when_o that_o be_v do_v that_o christ_n have_v discover_v his_o will_n to_o take_v they_o and_o they_o resolve_v to_o take_v he_o than_o there_o arise_v a_o holy_a a_o constant_a conjugal_a love_n wherein_o they_o be_v root_v and_o ground_v this_o be_v the_o love_n we_o be_v now_o to_o speak_v of_o so_o that_o to_o prepare_v we_o to_o love_n christ_n we_o must_v come_v to_o look_v on_o he_o as_o upon_o that_o which_o be_v suitable_a and_o agreeable_a to_o we_o and_o again_o as_o one_o that_o be_v willing_a to_o receive_v we_o and_o that_o you_o must_v mark_v diligent_o therefore_o we_o will_v give_v you_o this_o definition_n of_o love_n out_o of_o that_o which_o have_v be_v say_v what_o it_o be_v a_o holy_a disposition_n of_o the_o heart_n rise_v from_o faith_n whereby_o we_o cleave_v to_o the_o lord_n with_o a_o purpose_n of_o heart_n to_o serve_v he_o and_o to_o please_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n when_o these_o two_o thing_n be_v join_v that_o a_o man_n be_v humble_v and_o look_n on_o christ_n as_o one_o that_o be_v now_o fit_a for_o he_o and_o second_o he_o be_v persuade_v that_o christ_n be_v willing_a to_o take_v he_o when_o this_o be_v do_v a_o man_n receive_v christ_n by_o faith_n and_o from_o this_o faith_n this_o love_n issue_v whence_o this_o be_v special_o to_o be_v mark_v and_o it_o be_v a_o matter_n of_o much_o moment_n that_o to_o love_v the_o lord_n it_o be_v not_o only_o require_v that_o you_o be_v persuade_v that_o he_o be_v well_o affect_v to_o you_o that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o receive_v you_o for_o that_o man_n may_v have_v which_o say_v that_o christ_n be_v merciful_a and_o ready_a to_o forgive_v and_o so_o they_o think_v but_o yet_o they_o love_v he_o not_o therefore_o i_o say_v it_o be_v not_o only_o require_v that_o you_o look_v on_o christ_n as_o upon_o one_o that_o be_v well_o affect_a and_o propitious_a to_o you_o but_o also_o that_o you_o look_v on_o he_o as_o one_o that_o be_v suitable_a and_o agreeable_a to_o you_o for_o both_o these_o must_v concur_v to_o incline_v your_o heart_n to_o love_v he_o you_o must_v i_o say_v both_o look_n on_o he_o as_o one_o that_o be_v fit_a for_o you_o as_o a_o good_a that_o be_v agreeable_a to_o you_o and_o also_o you_o must_v be_v persuade_v that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o receive_v you_o now_o the_o first_o indeed_o be_v the_o main_a this_o second_o that_o christ_n be_v willing_a to_o forgive_v you_o and_o to_o receive_v you_o though_o it_o be_v weak_a it_o may_v be_v such_o as_o be_v a_o true_a faith_n and_o may_v beget_v love_n when_o a_o man_n look_v on_o any_o other_o man_n that_o he_o love_v if_o he_o see_v so_o much_o excellency_n in_o they_o as_o that_o he_o belong_v after_o they_o and_o desire_v they_o though_o he_o think_v there_o be_v a_o backwardness_n in_o they_o to_o love_v he_o yet_o if_o there_o be_v some_o probability_n that_o they_o be_v likely_a to_o love_v he_o he_o may_v come_v so_o far_o as_o to_o embrace_v they_o in_o his_o affection_n and_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o they_o though_o it_o be_v true_a as_o that_o persuasion_n be_v strong_a so_o their_o love_n be_v more_o near_o for_o faith_n and_o love_n grow_v together_o indeed_o if_o there_o be_v a_o utter_a averseness_n if_o there_o be_v enmity_n as_o it_o be_v impossible_a to_o remove_v it_o than_o we_o can_v not_o love_v but_o hate_v even_o as_o cain_n and_o judas_n do_v but_o i_o say_v that_o be_v a_o thing_n you_o must_v especial_o mark_v that_o faith_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o be_v persuade_v that_o christ_n or_o god_n through_o christ_n be_v willing_a to_o forgive_v you_o your_o sin_n or_o to_o receive_v you_o to_o mercy_n but_o in_o this_o your_o judgement_n must_v be_v rectify_v that_o be_v to_o know_v that_o you_o be_v to_o look_v on_o christ_n as_o one_o that_o be_v suitable_a and_o agreeable_a to_o you_o as_o one_o to_o who_o you_o have_v a_o inward_a inclination_n as_o one_o that_o be_v fit_a for_o you_o this_o be_v the_o main_a thing_n the_o other_o easy_o follow_v to_o be_v persuade_v that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o forgive_v we_o and_o that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o love_v we_o therefore_o whereas_o it_o may_v be_v you_o have_v think_v that_o to_o believe_v that_o god_n be_v willing_a to_o forgive_v you_o your_o sin_n be_v faith_n i_o dare_v be_v bold_a to_o say_v it_o be_v not_o full_a faith_n you_o may_v have_v it_o and_o yet_o not_o saving_o believe_v you_o may_v have_v it_o and_o yet_o not_o be_v true_a believer_n this_o i_o make_v clear_a by_o this_o argument_n that_o which_o beget_v no_o love_n be_v not_o faith_n but_o you_o may_v be_v persuade_v that_o christ_n be_v willing_a to_o forgive_v you_o your_o sin_n and_o yet_o not_o love_v he_o as_o a_o prisoner_n may_v be_v persuade_v that_o the_o judge_n be_v willing_a to_o pardon_v he_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o he_o may_v not_o love_v the_o judge_n for_o love_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o come_v from_o some_o suitableness_n some_o agreablenesse_n between_o the_o party_n that_o love_v and_o the_o party_n that_o be_v love_v again_o you_o shall_v find_v this_o by_o experience_n a_o man_n may_v be_v persuade_v that_o he_o be_v in_o a_o good_a estate_n that_o he_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o that_o his_o sin_n be_v forgive_v he_o and_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o he_o may_v be_v a_o unregenerate_a man_n he_o may_v be_v a_o man_n that_o have_v no_o life_n of_o grace_n in_o he_o i_o say_v we_o see_v oft_o in_o experience_n many_o man_n applaud_v themselves_o in_o their_o good_a persuasion_n and_o they_o die_v peaceable_o and_o quiet_o and_o all_o be_v well_o they_o think_v god_n have_v forgive_v they_o and_o yet_o we_o find_v there_o be_v no_o love_n in_o they_o nor_o no_o fruit_n of_o love_n again_o on_o the_o other_o side_n a_o man_n that_o have_v his_o heart_n break_v with_o the_o sense_n of_o his_o sin_n may_v hunger_n after_o righteousness_n and_o after_o christ_n he_o may_v long_o after_o the_o lord_n himself_o that_o he_o desire_v he_o more_o than_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v but_o a_o weak_a persuasion_n that_o the_o lord_n will_v receive_v he_o and_o forgive_v he_o his_o sin_n i_o say_v this_o man_n may_v be_v a_o true_a believer_n though_o he_o be_v not_o yet_o so_o full_o persuade_v that_o christ_n will_v forgive_v he_o when_o the_o other_o be_v no_o true_a believer_n as_o i_o say_v to_o you_o before_o as_o when_o one_o love_n another_o man_n or_o woman_n if_o he_o look_v on_o he_o as_o one_o that_o be_v suitable_a to_o he_o if_o he_o think_v it_o be_v but_o by_o good_a probability_n and_o likelihood_n i_o shall_v obtain_v their_o love_n though_o i_o have_v not_o yet_o a_o full_a assurance_n of_o it_o i_o say_v there_o may_v be_v a_o affection_n of_o love_n and_o thence_o i_o confirm_v that_o which_o i_o say_v to_o you_o that_o faith_n that_o have_v be_v join_v with_o it_o be_v true_a and_o that_o faith_n that_o be_v disjoin_v from_o love_n be_v not_o true_a so_o i_o say_v such_o a_o disposition_n of_o heart_n as_o look_n on_o christ_n as_o one_o who_o he_o belong_v after_o he_o look_v on_o he_o as_o on_o a_o husband_n as_o one_o who_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o match_v with_o that_o he_o can_v say_v true_o this_o be_v the_o best_a husband_n for_o i_o in_o all_o the_o world_n though_o yet_o i_o have_v not_o woo_v he_o though_o yet_o i_o have_v not_o a_o full_a assurance_n of_o his_o affection_n to_o i_o as_o i_o will_v have_v i_o say_v this_o will_v certify_v your_o judgement_n and_o withal_o it_o will_v comfort_v you_o
