expect_v so_o great_a a_o judgement_n while_o we_o refuse_v to_o be_v entire_o god_n servant_n three_o let_v the_o partial_o obedient_a consider_v what_o unaccountable_a folly_n and_o madness_n it_o be_v to_o disobey_v god_n in_o any_o thing_n what_o can_v you_o say_v for_o yourselves_o why_o you_o shall_v obey_v he_o but_o just_a so_o far_o be_v there_o not_o the_o same_o reason_n why_o you_o

not_o so_o to_o obey_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n can_v we_o say_v that_o god_n go_v beyond_o his_o power_n in_o impose_v some_o law_n or_o that_o those_o we_o dislike_v be_v less_o reasonable_a than_o his_o other_o law_n sure_o we_o dare_v not_o admit_v such_o a_o thought_n be_v it_o possible_a then_o that_o we_o can_v think_v it_o fit_a or_o tolerable_a that_o the_o great_a creator_n and_o

be_v not_o so_o many_o as_o that_o we_o need_v to_o be_v scare_v at_o they_o many_o be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o because_o the_o bible_n be_v a_o great_a book_n the_o divine_a law_n be_v almost_o numberless_a but_o the_o far_o great_a part_n of_o the_o bible_n consist_v of_o history_n and_o relation_n of_o matter_n of_o fact_n and_o of_o pious_a man_n devout_a prayer_n and_o praise_n etc._n etc._n and_o in_o the_o preceptive_a part_n there_o be_v very_o many_o law_n which_o be_v abrogate_a and_o never_o concern_v christian_n and_o those_o which_o be_v of_o force_n be_v many_o of_o they_o abundance_n of_o time_n repeat_v and_o inculcate_v in_o short_a our_o whole_a duty_n may_v be_v bring_v into_o a_o very_a narrow_a compass_n st._n paul_n reduce_v it_o to_o three_o head_n sobriety_n righteousness_n and_o godliness_n and_o our_o bless_a saviour_n to_o two_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o our_o neighbour_n and_o the_o particular_a instance_n of_o each_o of_o these_o be_v easy_o and_o quick_o learn_v nay_o they_o be_v general_o write_v in_o our_o heart_n 10.8_o as_o st._n paul_n tell_v we_o i.e._n be_v the_o plain_n dictate_v of_o natural_a reason_n seven_o let_v we_o far_o consider_v that_o there_o be_v so_o close_a a_o connexion_n between_o they_o all_o that_o obedience_n to_o one_o law_n will_v enable_v we_o to_o obey_v another_o and_o so_o on_o and_o the_o performance_n of_o one_o duty_n will_v prepare_v we_o for_o another_o and_o make_v it_o easy_a to_o we_o and_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n the_o breach_n of_o one_o law_n will_v cause_v carelessness_n in_o keep_v other_o law_n and_o no_o sin_n go_v alone_o so_o that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o bare_a supposition_n in_o the_o text_n that_o a_o man_n may_v keep_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o offend_v but_o in_o one_o point_n or_o slight_a one_o law_n and_o observe_v all_o the_o rest_n for_o there_o can_v real_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v evident_a from_o what_o have_v be_v now_o discourse_v eight_o i_o may_v also_o add_v that_o there_o be_v no_o necessity_n of_o be_v very_o solicitous_a about_o any_o more_o than_o one_o thing_n in_o order_n to_o our_o keep_v god_n law_n and_o that_o be_v the_o vigorous_o possess_v our_o soul_n with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n this_o say_v st._n john_n be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n or_o this_o be_v a_o necessary_a expression_n thereof_o and_o his_o commandment_n be_v not_o grievous_a namely_o to_o those_o that_o love_n god_n and_o what_o can_v we_o imagine_v so_o natural_a to_o creature_n capable_a of_o understanding_n god_n as_o love_v he_o with_o all_o their_o heart_n consider_v the_o infinite_a loveliness_n of_o his_o nature_n and_o the_o inexpressible_a obligation_n he_o have_v lay_v upon_o they_o what_o so_o agreeable_a to_o our_o nature_n as_o to_o love_v he_o who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o our_o be_v after_o who_o image_n we_o be_v make_v who_o be_v the_o centre_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o in_o who_o alone_o consist_v our_o true_a happiness_n and_o it_o be_v very_o easy_a to_o show_v that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n will_v natural_o draw_v after_o it_o all_o those_o duty_n which_o relate_v either_o immediate_o to_o he_o or_o to_o our_o neighbour_n or_o to_o our_o own_o soul_n and_o body_n now_o consider_v these_o thing_n well_o may_v god_n almighty_n expostulate_v with_o partial_o obedient_a christian_n as_o once_o he_o do_v with_o such_o jew_n and_o that_o with_o great_a reason_n o_o my_o people_n what_o have_v i_o do_v unto_o thou_o 6.3_o and_o wherein_o have_v i_o weary_v thou_o testify_v against_o i_o he_o have_v be_v indeed_o so_o far_o from_o weary_v we_o with_o his_o imposition_n that_o every_o good_a christian_n experience_n be_v able_a to_o testify_v that_o the_o great_a satisfaction_n the_o true_a self-enjoyment_n arise_v from_o the_o observance_n of_o his_o law_n nor_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o since_o love_n and_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o they_o for_o what_o so_o pleasant_a as_o love_n and_o much_o more_o as_o love_v place_v on_o such_o a_o object_n as_o god_n be_v we_o ought_v therefore_o to_o be_v so_o far_o from_o think_v much_o of_o yield_a obedience_n to_o all_o his_o law_n that_o we_o be_v high_o disingenuous_a if_o we_o be_v not_o hearty_o thankful_a to_o he_o for_o give_v we_o so_o few_o and_o those_o such_o as_o in_o obedience_n to_o which_o consist_v such_o pleasure_n in_o the_o last_o place_n and_o with_o these_o word_n i_o will_v conclude_v what_o a_o sad_a thing_n and_o miserable_a
