there_o be_v nothing_o of_o great_a force_n to_o allure_v man_n than_o the_o desire_n of_o knowledge_n job_n tell_v we_o 12_o job_n ●●_o 12_o vain_a man_n desire_v to_o be_v wise_a though_o man_n be_v bear_v like_o a_o wild_a ass_n colt_n albeit_o it_o be_v our_o fate_n that_o since_o the_o fall_n we_o be_v subject_a to_o folly_n and_o in_o that_o sense_n we_o be_v vain_a yet_o there_o remain_v at_o least_o so_o much_o wit_n in_o we_o as_o to_o approve_v of_o knowledge_n and_o to_o desire_v to_o be_v wise_a only_o here_o be_v our_o misery_n that_o there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o

the_o apple_n not_o only_o as_o persuade_v of_o its_o be_v pleasant_a to_o the_o taste_n but_o because_o it_o be_v desirable_a to_o make_v one_o wise_a and_o sure_o as_o our_o grandmother_n do_v eat_v those_o sour_a grape_n so_o we_o all_o her_o child_n have_v ever_o since_o have_v our_o tooth_n set_v on_o edge_n with_o the_o same_o desire_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o too_o too_o often_o out_o of_o

not_o reveal_v or_o else_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n we_o be_v apt_a to_o stoop_v too_o low_o and_o to_o dive_v into_o nicety_n and_o vanity_n at_o least_o into_o the_o knowledge_n of_o such_o thing_n in_o which_o we_o be_v not_o concern_v but_o as_o the_o apostle_n do_v say_v i_o shall_v show_v you_o a_o more_o excellent_a way_n by_o declare_v how_o you_o may_v poise_v your_o desire_n of_o

which_o all_o christian_n ought_v to_o desire_v and_o labour_n for_o it_o concern_v you_o not_o so_o much_o to_o know_v art_n and_o science_n though_o in_o themselves_o and_o their_o way_n they_o be_v

and_o to_o be_v speak_v to_o from_o these_o word_n be_v this_o that_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n of_o necessary_a concernment_n for_o every_o christian_n to_o know_v the_o transcendent_a love_n of_o jesus_n christ_n we_o have_v already_o endeavour_v to_o hold_v out_o at_o least_o a_o beam_n of_o light_n towards_o the_o discovery_n of_o that_o bosome-love_n that_o be_v in_o christ_n towards_o his_o and_o at_o this_o time_n my_o desire_n be_v to_o hint_n something_o which_o may_v at_o least_o put_v you_o on_o to_o endeavour_v to_o make_v a_o further_a discovery_n of_o the_o riches_n and_o the_o glory_n and_o the_o transcendency_n of_o that_o love_n for_o my_o design_n be_v to_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o study_n for_o the_o knowledge_n thereof_o be_v of_o very_a choice_n special_a and_o necessary_a concernment_n for_o you_o all_o for_o explication_n what_o knowledge_n we_o shall_v labour_v for_o the_o subject_n of_o the_o point_n you_o see_v be_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n now_o when_o i_o say_v that_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n be_v of_o necessary_a concernment_n full_a 1_o a_o clear_a and_o full_a 1_o i_o do_v mean_a not_o simple_o the_o bare_a believe_a of_o this_o truth_n but_o a_o clear_a and_o full_a understanding_n of_o it_o the_o substance_n and_o circumstance_n thereof_o there_o be_v divine_a and_o infinite_a dimension_n in_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n and_o it_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o labour_v for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o all_o these_o we_o shall_v strive_v to_o be_v able_a to_o measure_v both_o the_o length_n and_o the_o breadth_n yea_o and_o also_o to_o take_v the_o height_n and_o to_o sound_v the_o depth_n of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n christ_n bosom_n be_v a_o very_a glorious_a

which_o be_v upon_o the_o superficies_n or_o top_n of_o the_o same_o mine_n and_o in_o which_o we_o may_v easy_o discover_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o very_a letter_n of_o the_o gospel_n but_o it_o do_v concern_v we_o to_o endeavour_v to_o attain_v unto_o the_o deep_a and_o mysterial_a discovery_n thereof_o which_o saint_n by_o the_o light_n of_o the_o spirit_n come_v to_o attain_v

painter_n curious_o paint_a love_n by_o draw_v the_o type_n of_o it_o out_o of_o his_o own_o bosom_n so_o we_o in_o like_a manner_n may_v be_v able_a by_o our_o christian_a discourse_n to_o paint_v forth_o and_o to_o declare_v what_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n be_v take_v especial_o the_o ground_n thereof_o out_o of_o our_o own_o bosom_n our_o own_o experience_n divine_n observe_v that_o the_o scripture_n own_v not_o any_o thing_n for_o knowledge_n at_o least_o save_v which_o be_v not_o experimental_a and_o certain_o that_o knowledge_n of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n whereof_o we_o shall_v now_o speak_v ought_v to_o be_v not_o only_o a_o bare_a head_n knowledge_n but_o especial_o a_o heart_n knowledge_n a_o experimental_a knowledge_n this_o i_o think_v good_a to_o add_v for_o the_o
