truth_n that_o man_n may_v speak_v their_o heart_n and_o act_v their_o heart_n and_o express_v their_o heart_n in_o the_o love_n they_o do_v pretend_v this_o be_v christian_a love_n indeed_o three_o argument_n the_o apostle_n now_o here_o use_v to_o engage_v this_o reality_n of_o their_o affection_n one_o to_o another_o 1._o hereby_o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v of_o the_o truth_n all_o god_n child_n be_v such_o child_n as_o do_v indeed_o love_v one_o another_o they_o have_v a_o instinct_n that_o carry_v they_o to_o it_o and_o this_o will_v be_v a_o clear_a discovery_n that_o you_o be_v of_o the_o truth_n true_a child_n indeed_o no_o hastard_n true_o beget_v again_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n hereby_o we_o know_v that_o we_o be_v pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n because_o we_o love_v the_o brethren_n say_v john_n eph._n 1._o 3_o 14._o yea_o christ_n go_v high_a joh._n 13._o 35._o hereby_o shall_v all_o man_n know_v that_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n if_o you_o have_v love_v one_o to_o another_o that_o be_v one_o very_o strong_a argument_n that_o may_v bespeak_v your_o mutual_a affection_n to_o have_v a_o clear_a evidence_n that_o you_o be_v god_n child_n whatsoever_o sad_a news_n you_o shall_v hear_v upon_o earth_n if_o you_o have_v but_o a_o demonstration_n from_o heaven_n of_o that_o this_o day_n it_o will_v be_v worth_a more_o prayer_n and_o tear_n than_o i_o doubt_v you_o or_o i_o shall_v pour_v out_o before_o the_o lord_n a_o second_o argument_n be_v this_o and_o shall_v assure_v our_o heart_n before_o he_o have_v a_o sweet_a confidence_n a_o stability_n of_o spirit_n though_o there_o be_v a_o sea_n of_o trouble_n without_o yet_o here_o will_v be_v a_o bosom-ark_n something_o within_o that_o will_v fix_v and_o settle_v the_o soul_n there_o thou_o may_v cast_v anchor_n and_o lie_v safe_a have_v a_o persuasion_n have_v a_o assurance_n before_o god_n however_o unsettled_a before_o man_n and_o ebb_v and_o flow_v and_o rise_v and_o fall_v now_o good_a news_n and_o then_o bad_a news_n that_o damp_v that_o dash_v all_o yet_o do_v but_o love_v one_o another_o in_o deed_n and_o in_o truth_n as_o you_o ought_v to_o do_v and_o you_o shall_v have_v assurance_n before_o god_n a_o three_o argument_n he_o use_v in_o the_o 22._o verse_n and_o whatsoever_o we_o ask_v we_o receive_v of_o he_o this_o will_v be_v a_o admirable_a hint_n this_o day_n if_o you_o and_o i_o can_v gather_v such_o a_o evidence_n out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v that_o whatsoever_o we_o ask_v we_o shall_v receive_v we_o come_v to_o ask_v great_a matter_n and_o to_o beg_v great_a thing_n of_o god_n this_o day_n and_o now_o to_o have_v a_o earnest-peny_n from_o heaven_n that_o as_o sure_a as_o you_o make_v prayer_n so_o sure_o your_o prayer_n shall_v be_v answer_v will_v not_o this_o be_v a_o excellent_a advantage_n he_o tell_v you_o upon_o what_o term_n if_o you_o do_v but_o love_v one_o another_o in_o deed_n and_o in_o truth_n these_o be_v the_o three_o argument_n to_o demonstrate_v this_o truth_n and_o quicken_v to_o this_o duty_n but_o now_o for_o the_o 2._o argument_n as_o the_o apostle_n amplify_v it_o and_o indeed_o those_o be_v the_o word_n that_o i_o shall_v insist_v upon_o what_o a_o very_a great_a advantage_n now_o be_v it_o to_o have_v this_o assurance_n before_o god_n say_v he_o in_o the_o 21._o verse_n belove_a if_o our_o heart_n condemn_v we_o not_o then_o have_v we_o confidence_n towards_o god_n if_o you_o have_v clear_a heart_n before_o god_n if_o you_o have_v not_o a_o self-condemning_a heart_n but_o upon_o the_o examination_n of_o yourselves_o and_o weigh_v your_o own_o spiritual_a condition_n in_o the_o balance_n of_o the_o sanctuary_n you_o can_v find_v your_o love_n be_v weight_n it_o be_v not_o counterfeit_a copper_n love_n when_o you_o bring_v it_o to_o the_o touchstone_n but_o you_o be_v indeed_o teach_v of_o god_n to_o love_v one_o another_o you_o may_v have_v confidence_n towards_o god_n but_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o our_o heart_n condemn_v we_o god_n be_v great_a than_o our_o heart_n and_o know_v all_o thing_n but_o when_o you_o come_v to_o examine_v your_o heart_n your_o heart_n cry_v guilty_a and_o have_v a_o self-condemning_a heart_n oh_a woeful_a be_v your_o condition_n if_o your_o heart_n that_o be_v dark_a and_o ignorant_a and_o know_v but_o a_o little_a of_o yourselves_o if_o it_o condemn_v you_o and_o fly_v in_o your_o face_n you_o must_v know_v you_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n 13._o he_o know_v all_o thing_n and_o if_o your_o own_o heart_n condemn_v you_o you_o will_v be_v condemn_v with_o a_o witness_n with_o a_o vengeance_n indeed_o if_o not_o only_o your_o own_o heart_n but_o god_n himself_o shall_v condemn_v you_o and_o so_o you_o have_v some_o short_a and_o general_a resolution_n of_o the_o word_n out_o of_o these_o two_o verse_n i_o have_v four_o short_a proposition_n and_o i_o will_v name_v they_o and_o upon_o every_o one_o of_o they_o very_o brief_o speak_v something_o as_o near_o as_o i_o can_v as_o god_n shall_v direct_v suitable_a to_o this_o day_n the_o first_o proposition_n be_v this_o that_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n have_v a_o self-condemning_a and_o a_o self-absolve_a power_n second_o that_o god_n know_v our_o own_o very_a heart_n yea_o and_o more_o by_o we_o than_o we_o know_v by_o ourselves_o three_o if_o our_o own_o heart_n do_v condemn_v we_o it_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o great_a condemnation_n from_o the_o all-search_a god_n four_o if_o our_o own_o heart_n do_v absolve_v we_o it_o be_v a_o evidence_n of_o acceptation_n before_o god_n these_o four_o point_n lie_v obvious_o above_o ground_n in_o the_o word_n and_o we_o will_v begin_v with_o the_o first_o i_o have_v but_o a_o very_a little_a to_o say_v on_o that_o only_o to_o use_v it_o as_o a_o key_n to_o open_v the_o door_n to_o what_o follow_v the_o heart_n or_o conscience_n of_o man_n have_v a_o self-condemning_a and_o obser._n self-absolve_a power_n if_o our_o heart_n condemn_v we_o not_o that_o be_v excuse_v we_o absolve_v we_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n or_o conscience_n for_o they_o be_v doubtless_o the_o same_o conscientia_fw-la here_o conscience_n that_o be_v a_o practical_a power_n of_o the_o soul_n bear_v witness_n of_o ourselves_o and_o action_n according_a to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n law_n god_n have_v give_v to_o man_n not_o only_o a_o power_n of_o know_v but_o likewise_o a_o conscience_n a_o power_n of_o know_v together_o with_o god_n a_o recoil_v and_o reflect_v upon_o our_o own_o action_n and_o upon_o our_o estate_n the_o judgement_n of_o man_n reflect_v upon_o himself_o as_o he_o be_v under_o and_o subject_a to_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n this_o be_v that_o conscience_n here_o the_o heart_n the_o lord_n give_v we_o a_o practical_a understanding_n a_o practical_a knowledge_n and_o principle_n do_v enable_v we_o to_o make_v a_o application_n of_o those_o practical_a principle_n to_o our_o own_o particular_a case_n and_o hereupon_o it_o be_v that_o every_o man_n though_o never_o breed_v up_o to_o be_v a_o logician_n in_o the_o school_n yet_o know_v how_o to_o make_v syllogism_n either_o pro_fw-la or_o con_fw-la for_o or_o against_o himself_o everybody_o will_v be_v able_a to_o say_v this_o he_o that_o walk_v upright_o he_o that_o live_v the_o life_n of_o faith_n he_o shall_v be_v save_v there_o be_v a_o general_a principle_n lay_v down_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n then_o the_o heart_n do_v assume_v but_o i_o through_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n desire_v to_o walk_v upright_o i_o be_o teach_v to_o believe_v on_o christ_n in_o the_o first_o proposition_n there_o the_o heart_n be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o book_n a_o volume_n full_a of_o principle_n here_o in_o the_o second_o proposition_n there_o 15._o it_o be_v a_o witness_n it_o bear_v witness_n together_o with_o god_n know_v with_o he_o what_o its_o own_o condition_n be_v or_o what_o its_o action_n be_v and_o therefore_o in_o the_o conclusion_n it_o be_v a_o judge_n i_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o i_o shall_v be_v accept_v by_o he_o every_o one_o that_o be_v unrighteous_a and_o so_o live_v 20._o and_o so_o die_v against_o he_o god_n be_v thus_o provoke_v but_o i_o be_o so_o and_o so_o therefore_o against_o i_o no_o unrighteous_a person_n shall_v inherit_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o i_o be_o unrighteous_a therefore_o i_o can_v come_v there_o every_o man_n or_o woman_n be_v they_o never_o so_o ignorant_a in_o this_o or_o in_o any_o
