love_n of_o benevolence_n but_o a_o so_o with_o a_o love_n of_o complacence_n and_o like_n for_o this_o in_o the_o voyc_n of_o the_o father_n from_o heaven_n this_o my_o belove_a son_n in_o who_o i_o

objection_n for_o the_o text_n do_v not_o only_o say_v that_o god_n love_v they_o not_o with_o such_o or_o such_o a_o love_n but_o in_o plain_a term_n it_o say_v that_o the_o lord_n hate_v they_o that_o work_n iniquity_n now_o what_o shall_v we_o say_v that_o god_n love_v a_o person_n with_o infinite_a a_o love_n beyond_o expression_n or_o conceit_n and_o yet_o at_o the_o same_o time_n hate_v the_o same_o person_n with_o that_o perfect_a hatred_n wherewith_o he_o hate_v all_o the_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n let_v we_o take_v heed_n that_o we_o draw_v not_o a_o veil_n before_o the_o face_n of_o god_n and_o delude_v ourselves_o and_o other_o with_o such_o frothy_a and_o impertinent_a distinction_n but_o i_o have_v by_o this_o time_n breed_v a_o kind_n of_o wonder_n in_o you_o what_o i_o shall_v speak_v see_v that_o which_o other_o man_n have_v say_v thus_o far_o like_v i_o not_o i_o answer_v therefore_o that_o this_o clause_n god_n hate_v all_o the_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n and_o god_n love_v the_o ungodly_a be_v both_o in_o scripture_n and_o therefore_o both_o true_a yet_o in_o a_o different_a sense_n the_o first_o the_o lord_n hate_v all_o the_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n be_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o law_n the_o other_o the_o lord_n love_v sinner_n be_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o gospel_n now_o the_o law_n and_o the_o gospel_n speak_v divers_a thing_n the_o one_o be_v the_o manifestation_n of_o god_n justice_n tell_v we_o what_o we_o be_v by_o nature_n the_o other_o be_v the_o manifestation_n of_o god_n mercy_n tell_v we_o what_o we_o be_v by_o grace_n in_o jesus_n christ_n the_o law_n say_v that_o every_o sinner_n shall_v be_v accurse_v the_o gospel_n say_v jesus_n christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n the_o law_n say_v god_n will_v by_o no_o mean_n clear_v the_o guilty_a exod._n 34.7_o the_o gospel_n say_v god_n justifi_v the_o ungodly_a the_o law_n declare_v wrath_n without_o forgiveness_n the_o gospel_n mercy_n grace_n and_o peace_n in_o jesus_n christ_n thus_o far_o be_v the_o objection_n answer_v but_o yet_o all_o difficulty_n and_o scruple_n be_v not_o remove_v for_o the_o law_n you_o will_v say_v be_v a_o eternal_a verity_n whatsoever_o it_o say_v be_v true_a i_o confess_v it_o so_o and_o one_o jot_n or_o tittle_n thereof_o can_v fail_v but_o i_o say_v with_o the_o apostle_n that_o whatsoever_o the_o law_n say_v it_o say_v to_o they_o only_o who_o be_v under_o the_o law_n and_o to_o none_o other_o i_o say_v again_o that_o the_o righteousness_n of_o the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v by_o christ_n for_o we_o all_o yea_o in_o all_o that_o walk_v not_o after_o the_o flesh_n but_o after_o the_o spirit_n rom._n 8.4_o so_o that_o although_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n be_v sinner_n in_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o

of_o the_o law_n fulfil_v in_o the_o mediator_n and_o so_o become_v to_o be_v account_v righteous_a in_o his_o sight_n that_o as_o god_n on_o the_o one_o side_n deliver_v the_o innocent_a to_o death_n as_o though_o he_o have_v be_v a_o sinner_n be_v make_v countable_a for_o our_o sin_n so_o on_o the_o other_o side_n god_n love_v justifi_v clear_v the_o guilty_a and_o sinner_n as_o if_o they_o have_v be_v holy_a righteous_a and_o blameless_a the_o sum_n be_v this_o that_o as_o christ_n be_v no_o sinner_n indeed_o and_o yet_o a_o sinner_n by_o imputation_n so_o they_o that_o be_v chrisis_n be_v no_o sinner_n by_o imputation_n and_o yet_o sinner_n indeed_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o first_o objection_n the_o second_o follow_v objection_n 2._o if_o god_n be_v reconcile_v unto_o we_o before_o all_o condtion_n etc._n etc._n how_o be_v it_o that_o our_o saviour_n say_v matth._n 6.15_o if_o you_o forgive_v not_o man_n their_o trespass_n neither_o will_v your_o heavenly_a father_n forgive_v you_o your_o trespass_n unto_o which_o may_v be_v join_v that_o which_o we_o have_v matth._n 18.35_o so_o likewise_o shall_v my_o heavenly_a do_v also_o unto_o you_o if_o you_o from_o your_o

god_n will_v reverse_v the_o act_n of_o his_o mercy_n if_o after_o he_o have_v forgive_v we_o 10000_o talent_n we_o shall_v not_o forgive_v 100_o penny_n we_o shall_v be_v deliver_v to_o the_o

mercy_n communicate_v to_o his_o elect._n for_o the_o gift_n and_o call_n of_o god_n be_v without_o repentance_n rom._n 112.9_o god_n be_v not_o a_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v lie_v neither_o the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o he_o shall_v repent_v 1_o sam._n 23.19_o the_o second_o ground_n that_o god_n forgiveness_n of_o we_o be_v a_o forerunner_n of_o our_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o brethren_n and_o we_o can_v true_o forgive_v our_o brethren_n until_o we_o do_v apprehend_v god_n forgiveness_n of_o we_o shall_v not_o thou_o have_v have_v compassion_n on_o thy_o fellow-servant_n even_o as_o i_o have_v pity_n on_o thou_o matth._n 18.33_o and_o upon_o this_o ground_n the_o apostle_n press_v the_o ephesian_n unto_o kindness_n and_o tenderness_n of_o heart_n forgive_a one_o another_o even_o as_o god_n for_o christ_n sake_n have_v forgive_v you_o eph._n 4.3_o but_o then_o if_o this_o be_v so_o what_o mean_v the_o foresay_a place_n which_o strengthen_v the_o objection_n i_o answer_v that_o forgiveness_n be_v there_o to_o be_v take_v for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o forgiveness_n except_o you_o forgive_v man_n neither_o will_v your_o heavenly_a father_n so_o full_o declare_v and_o manifest_v himself_o unto_o your_o conscience_n and_o so_o this_o place_n pertain_v proper_o to_o our_o reconciliation_n with_o god_n not_o unto_o god_n reconciliation_n with_o we_o that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o subtle_a evasion_n but_o the_o truth_n appear_v first_o by_o a_o place_n of_o scripture_n second_o by_o the_o judgement_n of_o interpreter_n upon_o a_o like_a place_n the_o place_n of_o scripture_n be_v find_v luke_n 7.47_o her_o sin_n which_o be_v many_o be_v forgive_v she_o for_o she_o love_v much_o what_o have_v we_o here_o that_o this_o woman_n great_a love_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o remission_n or_o that_o it_o go_v before_o her_o obtain_n of_o remission_n as_o bellarmine_n contend_v very_o not_o but_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o her_o remission_n obtain_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o her_o love_n simon_n say_v our_o saviour_n a_o certain_a creditor_n forgive_v two_o debtor_n frank_o whereof_o the_o one_o ought_v five_o hundred_o penny_n the_o other_o fifty_o which_o of_o

his_o grace_n towards_o they_o the_o petition_n forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n may_v well_o stand_v with_o assurance_n of_o pardon_n the_o condemn_a person_n that_o be_v upon_o the_o ladder_n have_v

if_o he_o shall_v fall_v down_o and_o say_v pardon_v i_o my_o lord_n the_o king_n who_o can_v lay_v folly_n to_o his_o charge_n so_o we_o have_v receive_v the_o free_a pardon_n of_o sin_n at_o his_o

love_v we_o in_o blood_n and_o pollution_n as_o well_o before_o conversion_n as_o after_o conversion_n then_o to_o what_o purpose_n serve_v our_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n first_o i_o answer_v this_o objection_n indirect_o by_o propound_v one_o question_n whether_o thou_o think_v that_o thy_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n can_v obtain_v or_o procure_v the_o love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n if_o thou_o say_v no_o then_o why_o do_v thou_o make_v this_o objection_n if_o thou_o say_v yea_o than_o i_o demand_v who_o shall_v give_v thou_o faith_n and_o good_a work_n shall_v thou_o expect_v

procure_v god_n love_n and_o favour_n yet_o be_v it_o to_o very_o good_a purpose_n and_o exceed_v precious_a that_o you_o may_v know_v the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o be_v seal_v with_o the_o holy_a

as_o may_v serve_v to_o answer_v the_o present_a objection_n but_o second_o to_o what_o purpose_n serve_v our_o good_a work_n i_o answer_v to_o very_o good_a purpose_n also_o namely_o to_o express_v
