in_o the_o 1._o of_o malachy_n speak_v of_o thing_n appertain_v to_o this_o life_n it_o can_v be_v deny_v but_o yet_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o those_o thing_n only_o he_o speak_v of_o those_o external_a thing_n but_o not_o only_o of_o those_o thing_n for_o the_o drift_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o that_o place_n be_v to_o reprove_v the_o jew_n for_o their_o unthankfulness_n to_o god_n in_o that_o they_o do_v neither_o honour_n god_n nor_o fear_v he_o for_o say_v god_n mal._n 1.6_o if_o i_o be_v a_o father_n where_o be_v my_o honour_n if_o i_o be_v a_o master_n where_o be_v my_o fear_n who_o have_v indeed_o love_v they_o effectual_o and_o testify_v his_o love_n in_o give_v they_o a_o fruitful_a land_n even_o the_o land_n of_o promise_n and_o in_o the_o sequel_n he_o go_v on_o in_o a_o further_a matter_n and_o show_v that_o god_n be_v angry_a with_o esau_n for_o ever_o but_o he_o will_v be_v glorify_v and_o magnify_v in_o jacob_n and_o in_o the_o border_n of_o israel_n as_o appear_v in_o the_o four_o and_o five_o verse_n and_o therefore_o that_o testimony_n of_o the_o prophet_n be_v not_o to_o be_v so_o apply_v only_o to_o thing_n outward_a and_o temporal_a for_o the_o lord_n say_v he_o will_v be_v glorify_v in_o jacob_n and_o he_o have_v hate_v esau_n for_o ever_o but_o it_o concern_v the_o matter_n of_o eternal_a election_n and_o reprobation_n of_o which_o the_o apostle_n in_o this_o chapter_n treat_v come_v we_o now_o to_o the_o particular_a unfolding_n of_o these_o word_n i_o have_v love_v jacob_n and_o hate_v esau_n god_n love_n it_o be_v essential_a in_o god_n it_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o himself_o god_n be_v love_n say_v the_o apostle_n 1_o joh._n 4.16_o and_o so_o god_n love_v it_o be_v free_a even_o as_o his_o own_o bless_a majesty_n and_o it_o be_v extend_v and_o reach_v out_o unto_o man_n it_o be_v the_o free_a and_o eternal_a motion_n so_o i_o may_v describe_v it_o the_o free_a and_o eternal_a motion_n of_o god_n good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n the_o free_a motion_n and_o the_o eternal_a motion_n of_o god_n good_a pleasure_n touch_v the_o eternal_a and_o everlasting_a good_a of_o man_n god_n free_o purpose_v and_o determine_v the_o everlasting_a good_a of_o man_n out_o of_o his_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v express_o in_o ephes_n 1.5_o we_o be_v predestinate_v to_o be_v adopt_v through_o christ_n and_o that_o through_o the_o good_a pleasure_n of_o his_o will_n so_o then_o when_o god_n say_v i_o have_v love_v jacob_n what_o be_v his_o meaning_n i_o have_v free_o out_o of_o my_o own_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n nothing_o move_v i_o thereunto_o i_o have_v free_o and_o voluntary_o from_o everlasting_a decree_v the_o everlasting_a good_a of_o jacob_n and_o his_o eternal_a salvation_n and_o i_o have_v hate_v esau_n say_v the_o text_n now_o here_o some_o stumble_v and_o do_v think_v that_o this_o be_v speak_v not_o simple_o but_o comparative_o not_o simple_o i_o have_v hate_v esau_n but_o comparative_o and_o for_o this_o they_o say_v god_n indeed_o love_v jacob_n and_o esau_n both_o though_o he_o love_v not_o esau_n with_o the_o same_o degree_n of_o love_n as_o he_o love_v jacob_n but_o with_o a_o less_o love_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v i_o have_v hate_v esau_n and_o they_o instance_n in_o deut._n 21.15_o where_o the_o lord_n say_v by_o moses_n if_o a_o man_n have_v two_o wife_n as_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n many_o of_o the_o patriarch_n have_v the_o one_o be_v love_v and_o the_o other_o hate_v this_o god_n speak_v not_o that_o a_o man_n that_o have_v two_o wife_n hate_v either_o but_o that_o he_o love_v the_o one_o not_o so_o well_o as_o the_o other_o as_o jacob_n have_v rachel_n and_o leah_n he_o love_v leah_n with_o a_o less_o love_n than_o he_o do_v rachel_n so_o that_o in_o comparison_n of_o god_n love_n to_o jacob_n god_n love_n to_o esau_n be_v a_o hatred_n but_o belove_v these_o be_v exceed_o deceive_v for_o the_o apostle_n call_v those_o who_o god_n hate_v in_o the_o 22._o verse_n of_o this_o nine_o chapter_n of_o the_o roman_n vessel_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n and_o his_o vengeance_n and_o therefore_o they_o be_v hate_v simple_o be_v vessel_n of_o his_o wrath_n to_o destruction_n and_o if_o we_o look_v in_o that_o text_n of_o malachy_n allege_v and_o due_o consider_v it_o we_o shall_v find_v upon_o due_a examination_n that_o it_o will_v easy_o appear_v that_o god_n hate_v esau_n simple_o mal._n 1.2_o say_v the_o lord_n i_o have_v hate_v esau_n and_o he_o do_v exemplify_v and_o make_v it_o appear_v that_o he_o hate_v esau_n in_o that_o he_o lay_v his_o mountain_n waste_v and_o a_o wilderness_n for_o dragon_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v i_o have_v spoil_v esau_n of_o all_o his_o good_n strip_v he_o and_o turn_v he_o out_o naked_a and_o i_o have_v give_v his_o fair_a palace_n and_o goodly_a house_n for_o to_o be_v a_o den_n for_o dragon_n if_o there_o have_v be_v any_o hope_n of_o esau_n come_v to_o his_o habitation_n and_o palace_n and_o ancient_a possession_n than_o it_o may_v haply_o seem_v god_n do_v not_o hate_n esau_n simple_o but_o comparative_o but_o go_v on_o with_o the_o text_n mal._n 1.4_o say_v god_n though_o edom_n say_v we_o be_v impoverish_v and_o cast_v out_o and_o undo_v but_o we_o will_v return_v and_o build_v the_o desolate_a place_n yet_o say_v the_o lord_n of_o host_n they_o shall_v build_v but_o i_o will_v destroy_v and_o they_o shall_v be_v call_v the_o border_n of_o wickedness_n and_o the_o people_n with_o who_o the_o lord_n be_v angry_a for_o ever_o that_o be_v against_o who_o he_o proceed_v in_o wrath_n and_o judgement_n for_o ever_o oh_o see_v be_v this_o hatred_n but_o in_o comparison_n the_o lord_n set_v himself_o so_o purposely_o and_o profess_o against_o esau_n no_o it_o be_v simple_o now_o for_o the_o simple_a meaning_n of_o the_o word_n i_o have_v hate_v esau_n we_o must_v know_v hatred_n in_o scripture_n apply_v unto_o god_n it_o be_v not_o a_o disorder_a inveterate_a and_o distemper_a passion_n as_o it_o be_v in_o we_o but_o hatred_n apply_v unto_o god_n in_o scripture_n it_o signify_v three_o thing_n first_o it_o signify_v a_o negation_n a_o denial_n of_o god_n love_n that_o god_n love_v not_o and_o choose_v not_o some_o to_o life_n and_o salvation_n that_o be_v the_o first_o signification_n of_o it_o second_o hatred_n in_o scripture_n apply_v unto_o god_n it_o signify_v a_o just_a decree_a of_o punishment_n for_o sin_n and_o a_o inflict_a of_o punishment_n for_o sin_n yea_o he_o hate_v the_o wicked_a themselves_o psal_n 5.5_o thou_o hate_v all_o the_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n three_o it_o signify_v god_n utter_v abhor_v and_o dislike_n of_o that_o which_o be_v direct_o against_o god_n holy_a and_o righteous_a law_n and_o so_o god_n be_v say_v to_o hate_v iniquity_n and_o sin_n as_o the_o breach_n and_o transgression_n of_o his_o most_o holy_a law_n so_o than_o the_o meaning_n of_o god_n in_o these_o word_n be_v this_o i_o have_v love_v jacob_n and_o hate_v esau_n as_o if_o the_o lord_n have_v say_v i_o have_v and_o that_o out_o of_o my_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n decree_v and_o from_o everlasting_a purpose_a the_o eternal_a good_a of_o jacob_n and_o his_o salvation_n and_o i_o have_v not_o out_o of_o that_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o i_o from_o everlasting_a so_o purpose_v and_o decree_v esau_n eternal_a good_a nay_o i_o have_v before_o the_o world_n be_v in_o my_o secret_a counsel_n reject_v he_o and_o have_v cast_v he_o off_o and_o refuse_v he_o come_v we_o now_o to_o such_o thing_n as_o be_v observable_a from_o hence_o and_o first_o of_o all_o observe_v the_o apostle_n here_o make_v the_o ground_n of_o the_o advancement_n of_o jacob_n over_o his_o brother_n esau_n to_o be_v god_n love_n to_o jacob_n in_o that_o he_o be_v prefer_v before_o esau_n hence_o we_o may_v gather_v this_o conclusion_n doct._n that_o god_n free_a and_o eternal_a love_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o the_o good_a that_o come_v unto_o god_n choose_v both_o here_o in_o this_o world_n and_o hereafter_o in_o heaven_n all_o the_o good_a thing_n in_o this_o life_n and_o the_o life_n to_o come_v even_o from_o a_o bit_n of_o bread_n to_o the_o glory_n of_o heaven_n they_o come_v from_o the_o good_a will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o god_n jer._n 31.3_o the_o lord_n say_v unto_o his_o people_n israel_n i_o have_v love_v thou_o with_o ●_o everlasting_a love_n then_o present_o he_o subjoin_v therefore_o with_o mercy_n have_v i_o draw_v thou_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o lord_n make_v know_v that_o the_o good_a thing_n he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o his_o choose_a from_o time_n to_o time_n they_o have_v
