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.

of_o he_o thyself_o so_o thou_o will_v not_o endure_v to_o hear_v other_o speak_v ill_o of_o he_o but_o thy_o heart_n will_v be_v move_v within_o thou_o at_o they_o and_o at_o any_o thing_n that_o may_v impeach_v and_o hurt_v his_o glory_n as_o to_o see_v his_o church_n lie_v waist_n his_o word_n corrupt_v etc._n etc._n so_o ely_n be_v not_o move_v so_o much_o with_o the_o death_n of_o his_o

never_o be_v affect_v nor_o offend_v at_o it_o five_o if_o thy_o love_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v sincere_a and_o sound_a thou_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o lose_v he_o for_o we_o will_v rather_o lose_v all_o we_o have_v then_o lose_v the_o favour_n and_o affection_n of_o a_o friend_n who_o we_o love_v entire_o and_o as_o thou_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o lose_v he_o so_o thou_o will_v be_v as_o loath_a to_o offend_v he_o or_o do_v any_o thing_n whereby_o thou_o may_v be_v like_o so_o to_o do_v or_o if_o so_o be_v thou_o have_v thou_o will_v never_o be_v at_o quiet_a till_o thou_o have_v gain_v his_o good_a will_v again_o whatsoever_o it_o cost_v thou_o to_o get_v it_o six_o thou_o will_v linger_v and_o hang_v after_o he_o as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o woman_n of_o canaan_n she_o will_v not_o be_v say_v nay_o but_o let_v he_o say_v or_o do_v what_o he_o will_v she_o will_v not_o leave_v he_o but_o she_o still_o stay_v by_o he_o till_o he_o have_v grant_v her_o suit_n examine_v thyself_o then_o narrow_o by_o these_o sign_n likewise_o and_o when_o thou_o have_v do_v so_o and_o find_v thyself_o guilty_a in_o any_o or_o all_o of_o these_o particular_n then_o confess_v thy_o sin_n unto_o the_o lord_n and_o beg_v the_o pardon_n of_o it_o at_o his_o hand_n leave_v he_o not_o till_o he_o have_v hear_v thou_o and_o grant_v thou_o the_o request_n of_o thy_o lip_n by_o say_v unto_o thy_o soul_n i_o be_o thy_o salvation_n and_o witness_v with_o thy_o spirit_n that_o thou_o be_v his_o child_n by_o adoption_n and_o grace_n and_o so_o as_o i_o have_v hitherto_o show_v you_o some_o reason_n why_o he_o be_v accurse_v that_o love_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n aught_o to_o love_v he_o and_o whereby_o thou_o may_v be_v incite_v and_o stir_v up_o thereunto_o for_o as_o david_n say_v in_o another_o case_n the_o lord_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v praise_v so_o may_v i_o say_v the_o lord_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v belove_v and_o that_o in_o many_o respect_n as_o first_o because_o he_o have_v all_o the_o glory_n and_o beauty_n in_o himself_o that_o ever_o thou_o see_v in_o any_o creature_n it_o be_v in_o its_o full_a perfection_n in_o he_o whereas_o it_o be_v but_o in_o part_n in_o any_o creature_n as_o the_o light_n be_v in_o its_o full_a lustre_n and_o strength_n in_o the_o sun_n whereas_o the_o star_n and_o planet_n have_v but_o a_o glimpse_n or_o beam_n of_o it_o and_o than_z by_o participation_n and_o not_o in_o itself_o as_o in_o a_o fountain_n and_o therefore_o the_o spouse_n in_o the_o canticle_n say_v that_o he_o be_v all_o glorious_a or_o that_o all_o glory_n be_v in_o he_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o some_o love_v he_o and_o other_o love_v he_o not_o because_o he_o have_v manifest_v and_o reveal_v himself_o and_o his_o glory_n to_o some_o and_o not_o to_o other_o as_o unto_o moses_n abraham_n etc._n etc._n second_o he_o be_v unchangeable_a there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o that_o thou_o shall_v at_o some_o time_n or_o other_o see_v that_o in_o he_o which_o may_v make_v thou_o not_o to_o love_v he_o but_o in_o god_n we_o can_v find_v any_o such_o matter_n for_o he_o be_v jehovah_n semper_fw-la idem_fw-la yesterday_o to_o day_n 17._o etc._n etc._n there_o be_v no_o variableness_n nor_o shadow_n etc._n etc._n three_o because_o he_o be_v almighty_a he_o can_v do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v there_o be_v nothing_o impossible_a to_o he_o and_o as_o he_o be_v able_a to_o do_v all_o he_o will_v so_o he_o will_v do_v all_o that_o he_o be_v able_a so_o far_o forth_o as_o it_o may_v make_v for_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o thy_o good_a but_o thou_o will_v say_v object_n why_o be_v this_o such_o a_o loadstone_n of_o love_n yes_o very_o that_o it_o be_v for_o by_o his_o omnipotency_n be_v understand_v all_o the_o excellency_n and_o glory_n all_o the_o grace_n and_o virtue_n that_o be_v in_o god_n but_o thou_o will_v say_v object_n i_o have_v often_o offend_v he_o will_v he_o then_o yet_o hear_v i_o or_o accept_v of_o my_o love_n for_o all_o that_o yes_o that_o he_o will_v solu_fw-la for_o he_o be_v gracious_a and_o merciful_a oh_o object_n but_o i_o have_v nothing_o in_o i_o but_o be_o ready_a to_o offend_v he_o again_o what_o if_o thou_o be_v sol._n yet_o he_o be_v long_o suffer_v so_o that_o he_o will_v not_o cast_v thou_o off_o if_o so_o be_v thou_o will_v cleave_v to_o he_o oh_o object_n but_o how_o shall_v i_o know_v that_o i_o answer_v sol._n thou_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o his_o word_n and_o that_o be_v truth_n itself_o search_v the_o scripture_n therefore_o and_o there_o thou_o shall_v hear_v he_o say_v asmuch_o in_o plain_n term_n he_o that_o come_v to_o i_o 37._o i_o will_v in_o no_o wise_a etc._n etc._n oh_o object_n but_o my_o sin_n be_v such_o strange_a one_o as_o no_o body_n be_v suppose_v they_o be_v sol._n yet_o his_o mercy_n be_v infinite_a and_o far_o more_o than_o thy_o sin_n be_v or_o can_v be_v but_o yet_o that_o be_v not_o so_o as_o thou_o say_v for_o there_o have_v be_v as_o great_a sinner_n as_o thou_o whatsoever_o thou_o be_v which_o yet_o nevertheless_o upon_o their_o faith_n and_o repentance_n have_v be_v receive_v into_o grace_n and_o favour_n again_o as_o be_v marry_o magdalen_n peter_n david_n and_o diverse_a other_o beside_o they_o oh_o object_n but_o for_o all_o that_o i_o be_o not_o worthy_a of_o his_o love_n and_o it_o will_v be_v a_o disparagement_n for_o he_o to_o set_v his_o love_n upon_o such_o a_o one_o as_o i_o be_o but_o what_o be_v that_o to_o thou_o sol._n if_o he_o think_v thou_o worthy_a as_o so_o he_o do_v for_o he_o sue_v unto_o thou_o what_o need_v thou_o stand_v upon_o that_o why_o shall_v thou_o care_v for_o any_o more_o now_o this_o be_v all_o the_o dowry_n and_o duty_n he_o ask_v of_o thou_o for_o what_o do_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n require_v of_o thou_o o_o israel_n but_o that_o thou_o love_v him*_n 12._o and_o moreover_o beside_o this_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v he_o that_o first_o give_v thou_o this_o affection_n that_o thou_o shall_v love_v he_o and_o that_o there_o be_v none_o other_o on_o who_o thou_o can_v better_o bestow_v it_o or_o who_o more_o deserve_v it_o at_o thy_o hand_n than_o he_o do_v and_o final_o consider_v that_o thou_o have_v engage_v thyself_o unto_o he_o by_o vow_n in_o baptism_n so_o that_o as_o joshua_n say_v unto_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n you_o be_v witness_n against_o yourselves_o that_o you_o have_v choose_v the_o lord_n to_o serve_v he_o so_o be_v you_o against_o yourselves_o and_o every_o time_n that_o you_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n of_o the_o lord_n supper_n you_o renew_v your_o covenant_n so_o that_o if_o you_o love_v and_o serve_v not_o the_o lord_n you_o be_v so_o many_o time_n witness_n against_o yourselves_o and_o here_o let_v we_o make_v some_o little_a stand_n to_o reckon_v up_o the_o several_a circumstance_n that_o do_v engage_v we_o to_o love_v he_o as_o first_o that_o he_o be_v our_o lord_n and_o have_v buy_v we_o at_o a_o very_a high_a rate_n now_o if_o a_o condemn_a person_n or_o a_o man_n take_v by_o the_o turk_n shall_v be_v repleeve_v or_o ransom_v by_o another_o we_o will_v all_o think_v it_o his_o duty_n that_o he_o shall_v love_v he_o as_o long_o as_o he_o live_v for_o it_o and_o so_o stand_v the_o case_n with_o we_o we_o all_o sit_v in_o darkness_n and_o in_o the_o shadow_n of_o death_n and_o be_v

against_o they_o that_o love_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o do_v so_o be_v because_o he_o can_v endure_v to_o hear_v he_o evil_n speak_v of_o by_o any_o blasphemous_a tongue_n so_o that_o this_o then_o be_v the_o scope_n and_o drift_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o place_n namely_o to_o commend_v love_n unto_o we_o and_o above_o all_o other_o the_o

why_o we_o shall_v thus_o love_v he_o whereof_o the_o first_o be_v take_v from_o the_o necessity_n of_o it_o he_o be_v accurse_v that_o love_v he_o not_o second_o be_v take_v from_o the_o equity_n

anathema_n it_o be_v a_o greek_a word_n and_o it_o be_v as_o much_o as_o elevari_fw-la &_o suspendi_fw-la to_o be_v lift_v up_o or_o be_v hang_v and_o it_o signify_v accurse_v by_o way_n of_o

apostle_n st._n paul_n to_o prove_v that_o christ_n have_v redeem_v we_o from_o the_o curse_n of_o the_o law_n be_v make_v a_o curse_n for_o we_o for_o it_o be_v write_v curse_a be_v 13._o &c._n &c._n second_o for_o the_o word_n maranatha_n it_o be_v a_o assyrian_a word_n take_v from_o a_o hebrew_n root_n which_o signify_v execration_n or_o curse_v and_o therefore_o i_o so_o render_v it_o in_o the_o read_n of_o it_o unto_o you_o now_o in_o that_o the_o apostle_n use_v two_o word_n of_o diverse_a language_n for_o the_o full_a expression_n of_o this_o his_o so_o fearful_a a_o malediction_n and_o curse_n as_o if_o one_o word_n be_v not_o enough_o or_o that_o out_o of_o his_o zealous_a affection_n he_o can_v not_o so_o content_v himself_o with_o it_o we_o may_v note_v that_o by_o how_o
