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

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 steven_n do_v but_o thou_o will_v say_v all_o these_o be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o they_o extraordinary_a one_o too_o quest._n but_o what_o must_v i_o do_v for_o my_o part_n to_o have_v the_o 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
or_o pride_n or_o profit_n or_o what_o else_o thou_o will_v or_o can_v name_v beside_o yea_o thou_o must_v love_v he_o above_o thyself_o and_o thou_o own_o salvation_n so_o that_o if_o his_o glory_n and_o any_o or_o all_o of_o these_o come_v in_o competition_n together_o thou_o can_v be_v content_a to_o be_v accurse_v for_o his_o sake_n to_o have_v thy_o name_n raze_v out_o of_o the_o book_n of_o life_n and_o to_o be_v anathema_n for_o christ_n then_o be_v thy_o love_n such_o as_o god_n will_v accept_v of_o for_o this_o be_v that_o selfe-deniall_n which_o christ_n himself_o speak_v of_o and_o call_v for_o of_o we_o but_o thou_o will_v say_v object_n durus_fw-la est_fw-la hic_fw-la sermo_fw-la this_o be_v a_o hard_a say_n how_o shall_v i_o be_v able_a to_o do_v this_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v thou_o shall_v do_v it_o the_o better_a sol._n by_o consider_v that_o he_o be_v better_a than_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v not_o to_o be_v compare_v with_o he_o 18._o i_o count_v that_o all_o the_o affliction_n of_o this_o life_n be_v not_o worthy_a the_o glory_n that_o shall_v be_v reveal_v say_v the_o apostle_n and_o that_o make_v he_o endure_v such_o persecution_n for_o the_o gospel_n as_o he_o do_v with_o joy_n and_o patience_n and_o so_o if_o thou_o be_v once_o come_v to_o that_o pass_n as_o to_o know_v and_o be_v persuade_v in_o thy_o conscience_n of_o the_o incomparable_a worth_n and_o excellency_n of_o christ_n thou_o will_v make_v more_o reckon_n of_o he_o then_o of_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o for_o as_o he_o himself_o say_v of_o himself_o he_o that_o will_v not_o deny_v himself_o and_o take_v up_o his_o cross_n and_o follow_v i_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o i_o so_o he_o that_o love_v any_o thing_n else_o above_o or_o equal_a with_o christ_n be_v not_o worthy_a of_o he_o no_o thou_o must_v be_v whole_o he_o as_o he_o be_v as_o he_o be_v whole_o thou_o 19_o and_o have_v betroth_v thou_o unto_o himself_o so_o that_o as_o a_o virgin_n that_o have_v betake_v herself_o to_o a_o husband_n must_v forsake_v all_o other_o and_o cleave_v or_o keep_v she_o constant_o unto_o he_o so_o long_o as_o they_o both_o shall_v live_v so_o we_o be_v marry_v unto_o christ_n must_v not_o play_v the_o harlot_n and_o go_v a_o whore_v after_o other_o god_n but_o must_v be_v whole_o he_o as_o he_o be_v whole_o thou_o but_o thou_o will_v say_v he_o be_v not_o whole_o i_o for_o he_o be_v the_o saint_n too_o object_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v he_o be_v indivisible_a solu_fw-la he_o be_v not_o divide_v but_o be_v whole_o thou_o as_o well_o as_o they_o so_o than_o if_o thou_o will_v love_v the_o lord_n christ_n true_o and_o pure_o as_o he_o will_v thou_o shall_v thou_o must_v love_v he_o so_o as_o that_o all_o that_o be_v

thou_o may_v ans._n so_o as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o subordinate_a and_o not_o with_o a_o adulterous_a love_n as_o a_o woman_n may_v love_v another_o man_n beside_o her_o husband_n but_o it_o must_v not_o be_v with_o such_o a_o love_n as_o she_o love_v her_o husband_n withal_o she_o may_v not_o love_v his_o bed_n it_o must_v be_v only_o with_o a_o neighbourly_a and_o civil_a but_o not_o with_o a_o conjugal_a or_o matrimonial_a love_n and_o so_o thou_o may_v love_v thy_o land_n thy_o life_n thy_o friend_n etc._n etc._n but_o so_o as_o thou_o be_v ready_a to_o part_v with_o all_o for_o love_n of_o christ_n so_o that_o hereby_o shall_v thou_o know_v whether_o thy_o love_n be_v a_o adulterous_a love_n or_o not_o if_o when_o he_o bid_v we_o follow_v the_o duty_n of_o our_o calling_n and_o we_o suffer_v ourselves_o to_o be_v draw_v away_o by_o vain_a delight_n 24._o and_o do_v not_o therein_o abide_v with_o god_n as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v that_o be_v use_v it_o not_o to_o the_o

he_o we_o love_v ourselves_o more_o than_o he_o it_o be_v no_o true_a love_n of_o christ._n but_o thou_o will_v say_v object_n this_o be_v impossible_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v thus_o love_v god_n more_o than_o himself_o more_o than_o his_o soul_n sol._n i_o answer_v i_o deny_v not_o but_o that_o it_o may_v seem_v so_o to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n but_o yet_o thou_o must_v know_v that_o to_o a_o

have_v thy_o love_n please_v to_o god_n thou_o must_v have_v it_o ground_v on_o he_o and_o that_o require_v two_o thing_n first_o it_o must_v be_v ground_v on_o faith_n in_o his_o promise_n reveal_v unto_o thou_o in_o his_o word_n for_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n neither_o be_v it_o so_o much_o love_n as_o presumption_n that_o have_v not_o this_o foundation_n second_o it_o must_v be_v ground_v on_o his_o person_n not_o on_o his_o prerogative_n or_o privilege_n which_o thou_o shall_v get_v thereby_o for_o if_o we_o love_v he_o only_o for_o his_o kingdom_n and_o not_o for_o his_o person_n as_o we_o do_v when_o we_o can_v be_v content_a to_o suffer_v temptation_n and_o persecution_n for_o his_o sake_n than_o he_o care_v not_o for_o thy_o love_n because_o

diligent_a love_n ready_a to_o reform_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v amiss_o in_o thou_o or_o which_o may_v dislike_v he_o 3._o which_o whether_o it_o be_v so_o or_o no_o thou_o may_v try_v it_o by_o these_o three_o mark_n or_o token_n follow_v first_o it_o will_v cause_v thou_o to_o put_v on_o new_a apparel_n a_o woman_n that_o love_v her_o husband_n will_v attire_v herself_o according_a as_o she_o think_v it_o will_v please_v he_o best_o and_o give_v he_o most_o content_a especial_o when_o she_o be_v to_o be_v marry_v unto_o he_o than_o she_o will_v have_v a_o wedding_n garment_n that_o may_v set_v she_o forth_o so_o as_o he_o may_v take_v the_o better_a like_n in_o she_o so_o thou_o if_o thou_o have_v put_v off_o the_o old_a man_n which_o be_v corrupt_a according_a to_o the_o

and_o that_o he_o accept_v of_o that_o thy_o love_n from_o thou_o second_o it_o will_v open_v and_o enlarge_v thy_o heart_n towards_o he_o so_o as_o thou_o will_v daily_o love_v he_o more_o and_o
