intercourse_n and_o acquaintance_n that_o you_o have_v with_o god_n which_o be_v both_o the_o fruit_n and_o evidence_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o of_o your_o be_v in_o favour_n with_o he_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o you_o to_o lose_v your_o acquaintance_n with_o god_n so_o far_o as_o that_o you_o may_v look_v upon_o god_n as_o a_o stranger_n and_o god_n may_v look_v upon_o you_o as_o a_o stranger_n as_o one_o who_o he_o take_v no_o notice_n of_o of_o who_o he_o have_v no_o acquaintance_n with_o you_o may_v look_v upon_o god_n as_o a_o enemy_n and_o god_n may_v look_v upon_o you_o as_o a_o enemy_n so_o far_o may_v you_o lose_v your_o acquaintance_n with_o god_n this_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o and_o when_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o this_o i_o need_v tell_v you_o no_o more_o for_o you_o that_o have_v indeed_o have_v this_o acquaintance_n with_o god_n have_v i_o know_v find_v so_o much_o sweetness_n in_o it_o and_o do_v so_o prize_v and_o value_v it_o that_o if_o you_o be_v put_v to_o your_o choice_n whether_o you_o will_v part_v with_o the_o acquaintance_n of_o the_o dear_a friend_n you_o have_v father_n or_o mother_n or_o brother_n or_o sister_n or_o husband_n or_o

much_o as_o a_o possibility_n for_o you_o to_o lose_v it_o you_o shall_v present_o ask_v i_o what_o you_o shall_v do_v to_o retain_v it_o i_o answer_v first_o maintain_v in_o your_o heart_n this_o high_a esteem_n of_o your_o intimacy_n and_o acquaintance_n with_o god_n prize_v it_o above_o any_o other_o of_o your_o enjoyment_n whatsoever_o seem_v it_o a_o small_a matter_n in_o your_o eye_n to_o

the_o acquaintance_n that_o be_v between_o god_n and_o you_o as_o for_o instance_n first_o take_v heed_n of_o fall_v into_o gross_a and_o presumptuous_a sin_n for_o do_v you_o not_o know_v in_o your_o soul_n that_o every_o gross_a sin_n willing_o commit_v do_v vex_v and_o grieve_v god_n and_o do_v you_o not_o know_v that_o if_o you_o vex_v and_o grieve_v god_n he_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o continue_v his_o friendship_n and_o acquaintance_n with_o you_o that_o he_o will_v be_v turn_v to_o be_v your_o enemy_n if_o i_o know_v that_o the_o do_v of_o such_o or_o such_o a_o thing_n will_v vex_v a_o man_n that_o be_v my_o friend_n and_o yet_o i_o will_v do_v it_o vex_a let_v he_o be_v i_o will_v do_v it_o this_o plain_o show_v i_o little_a value_n the_o man_n friendship_n and_o when_o he_o know_v it_o he_o will_v value_v i_o as_o little_a and_o so_o friendship_n and_o acquaintance_n will_v be_v interrupt_v and_o break_v off_o between_o we_o thou_o know_v as_o well_o as_o i_o can_v tell_v thou_o that_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n but_o it_o vex_v god_n and_o there_o be_v nothing_o that_o vex_v god_n but_o sin_n and_o yet_o will_v thou_o sin_v will_v thou_o sin_v though_o thou_o know_v sin_n be_v the_o only_a thing_n that_o vex_v god_n yet_o will_v thou_o sin_v this_o be_v a_o argument_n thou_o value_v friendship_n and_o acquaintance_n with_o god_n at_o a_o low_a rate_n and_o if_o thou_o thus_o sin_n and_o vex_v god_n and_o slight_a his_o acquaintance_n i_o tell_v thou_o god_n will_v shake_v thou_o off_o from_o all_o acquaintance_n with_o he_o and_o become_v thy_o enemy_n nay_o himself_o tell_v thou_o so_o but_o they_o rebel_v and_o vex_v his_o holy_a spirit_n 63.10_o isa_n 63.10_o therefore_o he_o be_v turn_v to_o be_v their_o enemy_n take_v heed_n therefore_o of_o

be_v god_n enemy_n we_o ourselves_o will_v not_o take_v he_o for_o our_o friend_n that_o be_v inward_a and_o entire_a with_o our_o profess_a adversary_n zabud_n be_v solomon_n friend_n solomon_n

jeremiah_n sure_o as_o a_o wife_n treacherous_o depart_v from_o her_o husband_n 3.20_o jer._n 3.20_o or_o as_o the_o original_a have_v it_o from_o her_o friend_n so_o have_v you_o deal_v treacherous_o with_o i_o o_o house_n of_o israel_n say_v the_o lord_n a_o wife_n may_v have_v her_o fail_n upon_o which_o the_o husband_n possible_o may_v frown_v and_o chide_v and_o give_v her_o round_a language_n but_o for_o all_o that_o he_o will_v be_v friend_n with_o she_o still_o and_o continue_v in_o habitation_n with_o she_o still_o but_o if_o once_o he_o come_v to_o perceive_v that_o she_o deal_v treacherous_o with_o he_o that_o she_o embrace_v the_o bosom_n of_o a_o stranger_n that_o she_o love_v another_o man_n better_o than_o she_o love_v he_o this_o quite_o break_v in_o sunder_o the_o

so_o it_o be_v here_o the_o friend_n and_o acquaintance_n of_o god_n may_v have_v their_o fail_n and_o miscarriage_n for_o which_o god_n may_v frown_v upon_o they_o chide_v and_o rebuke_v they_o but_o yet_o retain_v they_o in_o his_o favour_n still_o but_o if_o once_o he_o perceive_v that_o they_o deal_v treacherous_o with_o he_o if_o once_o they_o come_v to_o prefer_v any_o thing_n in_o their_o love_n before_o himself_o and_o his_o acquaintance_n this_o will_v be_v a_o breach_n indeed_o between_o god_n and_o they_o o_o therefore_o as_o you_o prize_v acquaintance_n with_o god_n take_v heed_n of_o the_o inordinate_a love_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n remember_v what_o the_o apostle_n james_n say_v 4.4_o james_n 4.4_o you_o adulterer_n and_o adulteress_n know_v
