A09984	Mount Ebal, or A heavenly treatise of divine love Shewing the equity and necessity of his being accursed that loves not the Lord Iesus Christ. Together with the motives meanes markes of our love towards him. By that late faithfull and worthy divine, John Preston, Doctor in Divinitie, chaplaine in ordinary to his Majestie, master of Emmanuel Colledge in Cambridge, and sometimes preacher of Lincolnes Inne.

as_o well_o as_o one_o will_v desire_v for_o this_o be_v one_o sure_a ground_n why_o we_o love_v he_o not_o or_o love_v he_o no_o better_o than_o we_o do_v because_o we_o know_v he_o no_o better_o we_o be_v ignorant_a of_o he_o and_o ignoti_fw-la nulla_fw-la cupido_fw-la as_o it_o be_v say_v there_o be_v no_o love_n no_o long_a desire_n after_o that_o which_o we_o know_v not_o or_o know_v not_o the_o worth_n and_o necessity_n of_o it_o as_o a_o sick_a man_n have_v no_o thought_n after_o the_o sovereign_a drug_n in_o the_o apothecary_n shop_n because_o he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o any_o such_o

that_o when_o the_o prophet_n david_n have_v profess_v his_o love_n to_o god_n say_v i_o will_v love_v thou_o o_o lord_n my_o strength_n 1._o he_o afterward_o add_v as_o it_o be_v the_o reason_n or_o

declare_v his_o power_n and_o might_n in_o his_o deliverance_n and_o that_o be_v it_o that_o make_v he_o love_v he_o if_o therefore_o thou_o will_v but_o desire_v i_o say_v to_o love_v he_o he_o will_v inflame_v thy_o heart_n with_o the_o love_n of_o he_o yea_o he_o will_v open_v the_o heaven_n and_o thou_o shall_v see_v he_o sit_v on_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n 56._o as_o saint_n

love_n of_o god_n in_o my_o heart_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o no_o it_o be_v no_o such_o extraordinary_a thing_n for_o god_n to_o reveal_v himself_o to_o his_o saint_n answ._n it_o be_v a_o usual_a manner_n with_o he_o but_o yet_o second_o thou_o must_v do_v these_o thing_n thyself_o first_o thou_o must_v look_v how_o he_o have_v reveal_v himself_o in_o the_o scripture_n to_o be_v a_o most_o glorious_a and_o gracious_a god_n a_o merciful_a father_n in_o jesus_n christ_n slow_a to_o anger_n and_o of_o much_o mercy_n and_o now_o when_o we_o perceive_v he_o to_o be_v such_o a_o one_o we_o can_v but_o love_v he_o and_o long_o after_o he_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n second_o we_o must_v consider_v our_o own_o misery_n this_o make_v mary_n to_o seek_v after_o he_o and_o be_v it_o not_o but_o that_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o he_o but_o that_o we_o know_v we_o be_v undo_v and_o damn_v without_o christ_n we_o shall_v never_o care_v so_o much_o for_o he_o for_o the_o whole_a have_v no_o need_n of_o the_o physician_n that_o be_v they_o care_v not_o for_o his_o skill_n nor_o his_o help_n but_o they_o that_o be_v sick_a they_o that_o know_v their_o own_o want_n and_o weakness_n they_o know_v how_o to_o value_v and_o esteem_v of_o he_o and_o so_o we_o when_o we_o see_v we_o be_v wound_v by_o sin_n and_o sick_a unto_o death_n then_o will_v we_o inquire_v and_o seek_v out_o for_o the_o spiritual_a physician_n of_o our_o soul_n christ_n jesus_n three_o we_o must_v humble_v ourselves_o before_o he_o confess_v our_o sin_n and_o that_o in_o particular_a as_o many_o as_o we_o can_v by_o the_o omission_n of_o such_o and_o such_o good_a duty_n and_o the_o commission_n of_o these_o and_o these_o sin_n especial_o we_o must_v confess_v our_o belove_a bosome-raigning_a sin_n so_o the_o prodigal_a son_n confess_v that_o he_o have_v sin_v especial_o against_o heaven_n and_o before_o his_o father_n by_o riotous_a live_n 19_o whereby_o he_o be_v unworthy_a to_o be_v call_v his_o son_n and_o do_v desire_v only_o to_o be_v as_o one_o of_o his_o hire_a servant_n and_o now_o when_o he_o see_v his_o father_n notwithstanding_o make_v he_o so_o welcome_a who_o have_v so_o mean_a a_o conceit_n of_o himself_o that_o he_o put_v a_o ring_n upon_o his_o finger_n and_o shoe_n on_o his_o foot_n etc._n etc._n then_o he_o love_v he_o much_o more_o 4._o and_o so_o it_o be_v with_o christ_n and_o we_o when_o we_o be_v once_o out_o of_o love_n with_o ourselves_o and_o yet_o perceive_v that_o he_o love_v we_o who_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v belove_v then_o that_o make_v we_o love_v he_o again_o and_o the_o more_o lowly_a we_o be_v in_o our_o own_o eye_n the_o more_o high_o do_v we_o esteem_v christ_n and_o christ_n we_o four_o and_o last_o thou_o must_v first_o of_o all_o get_v faith_n for_o as_o thy_o faith_n be_v strong_a or_o weak_a so_o be_v thy_o love_n more_o or_o less_o if_o thou_o have_v but_o a_o little_a faith_n thou_o have_v but_o a_o little_a love_n for_o faith_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o love_n as_o the_o promise_n be_v the_o ground_n of_o faith_n now_o so_o long_o as_o thou_o do_v not_o believe_v that_o he_o have_v satisfy_v the_o divine_a wrath_n and_o justice_n of_o god_n for_o thou_o

and_o that_o god_n have_v accept_v the_o atonement_n for_o thou_o in_o he_o thou_o can_v never_o love_v he_o as_o a_o brother_n or_o friend_n but_o rather_o fear_v he_o as_o a_o enemy_n or_o judge_n pray_v therefore_o with_o the_o desciple_n lord_n increase_v our_o faith_n and_o therefore_o ply_v the_o ministry_n of_o the_o word_n one*_n 17._o else_o i_o say_v again_o thou_o can_v never_o true_o love_v he_o but_o as_o thou_o do_v another_o man_n which_o thou_o know_v not_o whether_o he_o love_v thou_o again_o or_o no_o and_o so_o thou_o may_v hate_v he_o again_o at_o some_o time_n or_o other_o for_o all_o that_o but_o labour_n for_o faith_n and_o that_o will_v breed_v love_n and_o than_o if_o thou_o love_v he_o he_o will_v sure_o love_v thou_o yea_o indeed_o thou_o can_v neither_o love_v nor_o believe_v in_o he_o be_v it_o not_o but_o he_o love_v thou_o first_o but_o thou_o will_v say_v how_o shall_v i_o know_v that_o quest._n i_o answer_v it_o be_v the_o apostle_n saint_n johns_n own_o word_n ans._n or_o rather_o his_o word_n by_o that_o his_o apostle_n we_o love_v he_o 19_o because_o he_o love_v we_o first_o and_o beside_o his_o word_n though_o that_o be_v enough_o thou_o have_v his_o seal_n he_o have_v give_v thou_o his_o son_n who_o have_v give_v his_o life_n for_o thou_o and_o shed_v his_o most_o precious_a blood_n for_o thy_o salvation_n and_o will_v he_o have_v do_v this_o for_o thou_o think_v thou_o if_o he_o have_v not_o love_v thou_o no_o but_o herein_o be_v love_n not_o that_o we_o love_v god_n but_o that_o god_n love_v we_o and_o send_v his_o son_n to_o die_v for_o we_o us*_n 10._o and_o even_o yet_o by_o his_o spirit_n he_o still_o sue_v unto_o we_o for_o our_o love_n as_o a_o further_a testimony_n thereof_o oh_o but_o thou_o will_v say_v i_o be_o not_o worthy_a of_o so_o great_a love_n object_n for_o i_o be_o a_o sinner_n disobedient_a and_o rebellious_a but_o i_o answer_v what_o do_v thou_o tell_v he_o of_o that_o what_o if_o thou_o be_v the_o chief_a of_o sinner_n answ._n he_o know_v that_o before_o he_o give_v thou_o his_o son_n and_o he_o give_v he_o unto_o thou_o the_o rather_o because_o he_o know_v thou_o be_v so_o for_o he_o justify_v the_o ungodly_a that_o be_v those_o that_o condemn_v and_o judge_v themselves_o to_o be_v so_o so_o that_o if_o thou_o will_v but_o believe_v in_o he_o and_o embrace_v he_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o he_o desire_v of_o thou_o but_o thou_o will_v say_v object_n it_o may_v be_v he_o be_v affect_v to_o this_o or_o that_o person_n and_o not_o to_o i_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v again_o that_o his_o commission_n be_v general_a solu_fw-la go_v preach_v unto_o all_o nation_n 19_o baptise_v they_o &c._n &c._n and_o so_o be_v his_o invitation_n too_o 28._o come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o

you_o hear_v before_o joh._n 6._o 37._o and_o when_o thou_o have_v consider_v this_o then_o begin_v to_o argue_v and_o reason_n thus_o with_o thyself_o since_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o all_o i_o know_v i_o be_o one_o of_o that_o number_n and_o then_o thou_o will_v begin_v to_o love_v he_o for_o all_o thou_o be_v a_o sinner_n yea_o thou_o will_v love_v he_o so_o much_o the_o more_o for_o that_o to_o consider_v that_o for_o all_o that_o he_o love_v thou_o oh_o but_o thou_o will_v say_v i_o see_v i_o sin_n daily_o and_o hourly_o and_o that_o again_o and_o again_o against_o many_o vow_n and_o promise_n object_n against_o many_o mercy_n and_o mean_n of_o better_a obedience_n but_o i_o answer_v what_o though_o thou_o do_v sol._n remember_v that_o as_o there_o be_v a_o spring_n of_o sin_n and_o corruption_n in_o thou_o so_o there_o be_v a_o spring_n of_o mercy_n and_o compassion_n in_o god_n and_o that_o spring_n be_v set_v open_a for_o sin_n and_o for_o uncleanness_n to_o wash_v and_o purge_v thou_o from_o the_o same_o so_o that_o still_o i_o say_v if_o thou_o will_v but_o love_v and_o believe_v in_o he_o he_o will_v love_v thou_o for_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o he_o still_o woe_n and_o sue_v unto_o thou_o for_o thy_o love_n and_o therefore_o stand_v no_o long_o out_o with_o he_o but_o come_v in_o with_o all_o the_o speed_n thou_o can_v make_v which_o that_o thou_o may_v the_o better_o do_v thou_o must_v remove_v these_o two_o hindrance_n out_o of_o the_o way_n strangeness_n worldly_a mindedness_n first_o strangeness_n for_o strangeness_n beget_v coldness_n of_o love_n whereas_o familiarity_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o procure_v boldness_n in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n but_o thou_o will_v say_v how_o shall_v i_o come_v to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o god_n quest._n how_o answ._n why_o be_v much_o in_o his_o praise_n in_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n and_o receive_v of_o the_o sacrament_n there_o be_v a_o communion_n of_o saint_n you_o know_v and_o so_o there_o be_v a_o communion_n of_o god_n with_o the_o saint_n let_v we_o therefore_o be_v careful_a to_o maintain_v this_o communion_n betwixt_o we_o by_o have_v recourse_n unto_o he_o in_o his_o ordinance_n and_o seek_v unto_o he_o for_o comfort_n in_o all_o our_o trouble_n and_o adversity_n second_o worldly_a mindedness_n that_o also_o beget_v coldness_n of_o affection_n and_o want_v of_o love_n to_o the_o lord_n christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o circumcise_v the_o heart_n 6._o that_o be_v he_o put_v off_o all_o carnal_a and_o worldly_a affection_n from_o it_o that_o so_o thou_o may_v not_o love_v the_o world_n nor_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n but_o may_v love_v he_o with_o all_o the_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o etc._n etc._n for_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n be_v

we_o can_v be_v his_o disciple_n so_o do_v the_o apostle_n we_o have_v forsake_v all_o and_o follow_v thou_o wherefore_o let_v we_o not_o set_v these_o thing_n too_o near_o our_o heart_n but_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v that_o keep_v we_o asunder_o as_o vain_a hope_n worldly_a fear_n fantastic_a pride_n pleasure_n profit_n and_o the_o like_a let_v we_o cashier_v they_o and_o cast_v they_o

people_n of_o israel_n turn_v not_o aside_o from_o the_o lord_n unto_o they_o either_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n or_o to_o the_o left_a for_o they_o can_v profit_v because_o they_o be_v vain_a but_o thou_o will_v say_v will_v god_n then_o be_v content_a with_o any_o love_n quest._n i_o answer_v no_o true_o that_o he_o will_v not_o neither_o answ._n what_o then_o answer_n first_o thou_o must_v love_v he_o withal_o thy_o strength_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o power_n with_o all_o the_o part_n and_o faculty_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n now_o it_o may_v be_v thou_o be_v a_o magistrate_n a_o

may_v compel_v they_o that_o be_v under_o thou_o to_o love_v the_o lord_n by_o thy_o authority_n and_o example_n god_n look_v for_o this_o i_o say_v at_o thy_o hand_n for_o to_o who_o much_o be_v

they_o all_o which_o be_v a_o argument_n that_o he_o love_v much_o because_o he_o be_v in_o labour_n much_o and_o so_o when_o our_o saviour_n ask_v peter_n whether_o he_o love_v he_o he_o put_v he_o

with_o ely_n it_o be_v the_o lord_n let_v he_o do_v what_o seem_v he_o good_a then_o thou_o love_v he_o and_o yet_o thou_o must_v do_v more_o than_o that_o thou_o must_v not_o only_o bear_v it_o patient_o but_o joyful_o too_o as_o you_o hear_v before_o the_o apostle_n do_v lay_v thyself_o to_o these_o rule_n then_o and_o try_v impartial_o whether_o thou_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n

content_a with_o nothing_o but_o love_n again_o so_o that_o as_o absalon_n though_o in_o hypocrisy_n say_v when_o as_o david_n have_v fetch_v he_o out_o of_o banishment_n and_o confine_v he_o to_o his_o own_o house_n that_o he_o may_v not_o see_v the_o king_n face_n what_o do_v i_o here_o see_v i_o may_v not_o see_v the_o king_n face_n 32._o so_o will_v thou_o say_v out_o of_o love_n to_o the_o

and_o wine_n and_o oil_n increase_v 4._o second_o thou_o will_v love_v the_o brethren_n for_o they_o be_v like_o he_o though_o he_o exceed_v they_o in_o the_o degree_n and_o measure_n of_o goodness_n as_o the_o ocean_n do_v a_o drop_n of_o a_o bucket_n this_o be_v a_o pregnant_a proof_n hereof_o and_o therefore_o deal_v square_o with_o thyself_o herein_o and_o the_o reason_n why_o thou_o can_v not_o love_v the_o lord_n if_o thou_o love_v not_o the_o brethren_n be_v because_o its_o a_o easy_a matter_n to_o love_v man_n who_o thou_o have_v see_v than_o it_o be_v to_o love_n god_n who_o thou_o have_v not_o see_v for_o use_v we_o know_v make_v they_o comely_a and_o handsome_a wherefore_o saint_n john_n say_v if_o any_o man_n say_v he_o love_v god_n and_o yet_o hate_v his_o brother_n he_o be_v a_o liar_n he_o deceive_v himself_o and_o there_o be_v no_o truth_n in_o he_o 20._o but_o thou_o will_v say_v thou_o love_v they_o well_o enough_o do_v thou_o so_o then_o thou_o will_v love_v their_o company_n for_o what_o we_o love_v and_o delight_n in_o we_o be_v never_o well_o without_o it_o nor_o can_v endure_v it_o out_o of_o our_o sight_n and_o therefore_o when_o the_o psalmist_n have_v say_v that_o all_o his_o delight_n be_v in_o the_o saint_n and_o upon_o such_o as_o excel_v in_o virtue_n 16._o if_o you_o will_v know_v how_o to_o know_v it_o be_v so_o he_o afterward_o tell_v

forbid_v thou_o shall_v be_v so_o bad_a but_o that_o thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n sol._n but_o i_o answer_v thou_o again_o to_o that_o too_o if_o thou_o do_v so_o than_o thou_o will_v love_v his_o appear_v for_o if_o thou_o wish_v in_o thy_o heart_n there_o be_v no_o general_a judgement_n thou_o love_v he_o not_o say_v what_o thou_o will_v to_o the_o contrary_a as_o a_o

for_o out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v so_o that_o if_o thou_o speak_v well_o of_o god_n but_o for_o fashion_n sake_n not_o out_o of_o any_o true_a affection_n but_o of_o fear_n thou_o love_v he_o not_o for_o he_o that_o love_v he_o will_v be_v much_o in_o his_o praise_n as_o we_o have_v a_o instance_n in_o david_n so_o that_o if_o the_o heart_n be_v inflame_v the_o mouth_n will_v be_v open_a thou_o will_v not_o be_v tongue-tied_a nor_o ashamed_a of_o he_o no_o not_o before_o prince_n but_o thou_o will_v say_v i_o be_o no_o scholar_n object_n i_o

for_o no_o more_o for_o that_o will_v beget_v more_o and_o more_o love_n in_o thou_o and_o love_n that_o will_v make_v thou_o eloquent_a we_o have_v a_o notable_a president_n for_o this_o in_o the_o
