will_v do_v next_o shall_v be_v to_o show_v you_o what_o reason_n you_o have_v to_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n for_o there_o be_v no_o better_a way_n to_o get_v it_o in_o you_o than_o to_o describe_v he_o to_o you_o to_o show_v you_o what_o cause_n there_o be_v of_o love_v he_o if_o we_o be_v able_a to_o present_v he_o to_o you_o as_o he_o be_v we_o shall_v effect_v this_o thing_n but_o that_o must_v be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n notwithstanding_o we_o will_v brief_o open_v to_o you_o such_o reason_n as_o we_o find_v use_v in_o the_o scripture_n christ._n and_o first_o let_v this_o move_v you_o to_o love_v he_o that_o he_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v belove_v as_o david_n speak_v psal._n 18.3_o the_o lord_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v praise_v so_o we_o may_v say_v the_o lord_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v love_v for_o what_o be_v it_o that_o make_v any_o thing_n worthy_a of_o love_n it_o be_v the_o excellency_n that_o we_o find_v there_o now_o in_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v all_o kind_n of_o excellency_n whatsoever_o there_o be_v that_o be_v amiable_a under_o the_o sun_n all_o that_o you_o shall_v find_v in_o he_o more_o abundant_o if_o ever_o you_o see_v any_o thing_n in_o any_o creature_n any_o thing_n amiable_a in_o man_n if_o ever_o you_o see_v any_o beauty_n any_o virtue_n any_o excellency_n all_o these_o must_v be_v more_o abundant_a in_o he_o that_o make_v these_o creature_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o have_v a_o love_n as_o there_o be_v no_o man_n without_o some_o love_n or_o other_o some_o creature_n seem_v beautiful_a to_o you_o think_v with_o yourselves_o this_o be_v more_o in_o the_o lord_n if_o ever_o you_o see_v excellency_n in_o any_o man_n if_o ever_o you_o see_v any_o nobleness_n any_o holiness_n any_o excellency_n of_o disposition_n know_v that_o it_o be_v more_o abundant_a in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n let_v these_o river_n lead_v you_o to_o that_o ocean_n to_o that_o abundance_n of_o excellency_n that_o be_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o if_o you_o love_v any_o creature_n let_v it_o be_v with_o a_o little_a love_n let_v your_o affection_n be_v proportionable_a to_o the_o object_n as_o it_o exceed_v in_o the_o lord_n so_o let_v your_o love_n exceed_v towards_o he_o to_o love_v he_o with_o all_o your_o soul_n and_o all_o your_o strength_n and_o know_v this_o that_o he_o have_v not_o only_o that_o in_o a_o omnipotent_a manner_n that_o be_v but_o sprinkle_v among_o the_o creature_n they_o have_v but_o a_o spark_n but_o a_o drop_n of_o it_o but_o also_o there_o be_v this_o in_o the_o lord_n that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o he_o but_o that_o which_o be_v amiable_a every_o creature_n have_v some_o imperfection_n in_o it_o there_o be_v somewhat_o in_o it_o may_v cause_v aversation_n in_o you_o there_o be_v no_o man_n but_o have_v some_o weakness_n but_o have_v some_o infirmity_n there_o be_v no_o creature_n but_o it_o have_v some_o want_n some_o defect_n in_o it_o but_o in_o the_o lord_n there_o be_v no_o want_n there_o be_v nothing_o to_o put_v you_o off_o but_o as_o the_o church_n say_v cant._n 5._o he_o be_v whole_o delectable_a that_o be_v there_o be_v nothing_o in_o he_o but_o that_o which_o be_v amiable_a that_o will_v be_v a_o very_a profitable_a thing_n for_o we_o in_o this_o case_n often_o to_o think_v on_o the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o present_v he_o to_o ourselves_o in_o our_o thought_n as_o the_o spouse_n do_v cant._n 5._o she_o consider_v her_o wellbeloved_a be_v the_o fair_a of_o ten_o thousand_o so_o we_o shall_v behold_v the_o person_n of_o our_o husband_n you_o know_v it_o be_v but_o a_o harlottry_n love_n to_o consider_v what_o we_o have_v by_o our_o husband_n to_o consider_v what_o riches_n he_o bring_v what_o honour_n and_o not_o often_o to_o contemplate_v upon_o his_o person_n and_o upon_o his_o virtue_n and_o excellency_n we_o shall_v learn_v to_o do_v this_o with_o the_o lord_n that_o we_o may_v love_v he_o therefore_o that_o we_o may_v help_v you_o a_o little_a in_o this_o contemplation_n we_o will_v show_v you_o how_o the_o lord_n have_v describe_v himself_o exod._n 34.4_o when_o the_o lord_n describe_v himself_o to_o moses_n thus_o he_o declare_v his_o own_o name_n the_o lord_n jehovah_n strong_a merciful_a gracious_a long-suffering_a abundant_a in_o kindness_n and_o in_o truth_n reserve_v mercy_n for_o thousand_o forgive_a iniquity_n transgression_n and_o sin_n etc._n etc._n we_o will_v a_o little_a open_a to_o you_o this_o description_n that_o the_o lord_n give_v we_o of_o himself_o that_o so_o you_o may_v learn_v to_o know_v what_o he_o be_v for_o the_o way_n to_o love_v the_o lord_n be_v to_o know_v he_o and_o indeed_o therefore_o we_o love_v he_o not_o because_o we_o know_v he_o not_o there_o be_v no_o other_o reason_n why_o in_o heaven_n when_o we_o shall_v come_v to_o be_v present_a with_o he_o we_o shall_v love_v he_o so_o abundant_o but_o because_o we_o shall_v know_v he_o face_n to_o face_n that_o be_v the_o reason_n the_o angel_n and_o the_o saint_n love_v most_o and_o of_o every_o man_n among_o the_o saint_n he_o that_o know_v most_o love_v most_o therefore_o it_o shall_v be_v your_o labour_n to_o know_v the_o lord_n but_o to_o open_v as_o i_o say_v this_o description_n unto_o you_o first_o he_o be_v jehovah_n that_o be_v he_o be_v a_o constant_a friend_n to_o whosoever_o he_o be_v a_o friend_n he_o be_v always_o the_o same_o for_o that_o be_v another_o name_n by_o which_o the_o lord_n describe_v himself_o to_o moses_n when_o he_o send_v he_o

another_o much_o he_o be_v much_o affect_v with_o what_o he_o do_v now_o when_o the_o lord_n shall_v show_v some_o token_n of_o his_o wrath_n those_o that_o love_v he_o and_o esteem_v of_o he_o those_o that_o prize_v he_o can_v but_o be_v affect_v shall_v the_o lion_n roar_v and_o shall_v not_o the_o beast_n of_o the_o field_n tremble_v consider_v how_o you_o be_v affect_v therefore_o 1625._o when_o the_o lord_n shall_v discover_v any_o expression_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o what_o do_v he_o else_o in_o this_o stroke_n which_o be_v now_o upon_o this_o place_n be_v there_o not_o wrath_n go_v out_o from_o the_o lord_n you_o know_v the_o plague_n be_v more_o particular_o god_n hand_n than_o any_o other_o affliction_n therefore_o david_n say_v when_o he_o choose_v the_o plague_n that_o he_o will_v choose_v to_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n intimate_v that_o in_o that_o buysinesse_n god_n be_v in_o a_o more_o peculiar_a manner_n the_o doer_n of_o it_o as_o the_o thunder_n be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o lord_n so_o the_o plague_n may_v proper_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o stroke_n of_o the_o lord_n more_o peculiarly_a than_o any_o other_o affliction_n consider_v therefore_o what_o your_o affection_n be_v in_o this_o case_n for_o my_o belove_a let_v it_o not_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o you_o that_o the_o lord_n stretch_v forth_o his_o

upon_o a_o errand_n if_o it_o have_v its_o answer_n if_o that_o be_v do_v for_o which_o the_o lord_n have_v send_v it_o will_v he_o not_o remove_v it_o again_o will_v he_o not_o bid_v the_o destroy_a angel_n to_o put_v up_o his_o sword_n into_o his_o sheath_n doubtless_o he_o will_v if_o you_o will_v do_v that_o at_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o sickness_n that_o must_v be_v do_v before_o the_o lord_n will_v remove_v it_o from_o you_o you_o will_v say_v quest._n what_o shall_v we_o do_v then_o i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v what_o common_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o a_o plague_n among_o us._n answ._n consider_v what_o have_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o plague_n in_o former_a time_n plague_n you_o shall_v find_v in_o numb_a 25._o 25._o two_o cause_n of_o the_o plague_n one_o be_v the_o superstition_n and_o idolatry_n of_o the_o people_n they_o begann_v to_o be_v yoke_v with_o idolatry_n they_o join_v themselves_o to_o baal_n peor_n i_o confess_v that_o sin_n be_v not_o yet_o grow_v to_o any_o great_a height_n it_o be_v but_o yet_o in_o the_o beginning_n in_o the_o seed_n and_o yet_o you_o know_v how_o the_o lord_n be_v offend_v with_o they_o and_o the_o second_o be_v fornication_n the_o sin_n of_o uncleanes_n that_o be_v commit_v it_o be_v not_o likely_a that_o all_o the_o people_n fall_v into_o that_o sin_n of_o idolatry_n or_o into_o the_o sin_n of_o fornication_n but_o yet_o the_o lord_n be_v offend_v with_o the_o whole_a congregation_n for_o those_o that_o do_v it_o as_o the_o manner_n be_v to_o be_v so_o here_o you_o see_v two_o cause_n of_o a_o plague_n idolatry_n which_o be_v but_o beginning_n and_o the_o very_o admit_v it_o into_o the_o camp_n and_o the_o fornication_n of_o the_o people_n another_o cause_n of_o the_o plague_n you_o shall_v find_v in_o david_n number_v the_o people_n it_o be_v their_o security_n and_o pride_n and_o trust_v to_o themselves_o and_o the_o creature_n for_o sure_o it_o be_v not_o david_n sin_n only_o who_o have_v somewhat_o forget_v god_n and_o trust_v to_o his_o mountain_n &_o think_v that_o that_o be_v strong_a enough_o but_o it_o be_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n it_o be_v good_a my_o beloved_a to_o be_v secure_a out_o of_o confidence_n upon_o god_n and_o therein_o the_o more_o security_n the_o better_a but_o to_o be_v secure_a for_o any_o outward_a help_n either_o in_o the_o number_n of_o man_n or_o ship_n or_o strength_n or_o policy_n or_o because_o we_o be_v compass_v about_o with_o the_o wall_n of_o the_o sea_n or_o whatsoeever_n it_o be_v wherein_o we_o think_v our_o safety_n consist_v the_o more_o confidence_n in_o this_o the_o worse_o the_o lord_n smott_v the_o people_n for_o this_o security_n in_o david_n time_n another_o cause_n be_v the_o unworthy_a receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n many_o be_v sick_a among_o you_o say_v the_o apostle_n and_o many_o be_v dead_a because_o you_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n unworthy_o the_o lord_n be_v please_v to_o punish_v that_o particular_a sin_n of_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n unworthy_o with_o some_o sickness_n or_o other_o whether_o the_o plague_n or_o no_o we_o can_v say_v but_o this_o we_o may_v be_v sure_a of_o that_o this_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o so_o many_o be_v sick_a and_o dead_a you_o know_v that_o passage_n in_o the_o book_n of_o chronicle_n concern_v ezekias_n when_o the_o people_n have_v not_o prepare_v themselves_o aright_o as_o they_o ought_v he_o pray_v to_o the_o lord_n and_o it_o be_v say_v the_o lord_n heal_v the_o people_n we_o can_v say_v what_o the_o lord_n heal_v they_o of_o but_o yet_o it_o make_v it_o evident_a that_o the_o lord_n have_v some_o way_n smite_v they_o moses_n for_o the_o omission_n of_o the_o sacrament_n the_o lord_n will_v have_v slay_v he_o that_o be_v he_o will_v have_v send_v something_o upon_o he_o whether_o some_o disease_n as_o be_v most_o probable_a or_o some_o other_o thing_n which_o shall_v have_v take_v away_o his_o life_n in_o the_o end_n the_o omission_n and_o negligent_a receive_n of_o the_o sacrament_n i_o put_v together_o which_o move_v god_n to_o anger_n and_o to_o inflict_v plague_n upon_o a_o people_n i_o will_v name_v yet_o one_o more_o beside_o these_o and_o that_o be_v the_o coldness_n and_o deadness_n of_o their_o heart_n who_o belong_v to_o the_o lord_n from_o who_o he_o expect_v better_a thing_n and_o more_o zeal_n which_o i_o gather_v hence_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o zeal_n of_o phineas_n stay_v the_o plague_n numb_a 25._o 25._o because_o his_o love_n be_v hot_a and_o his_o anger_n be_v kindle_v in_o a_o holy_a manner_n against_o that_o israelitish_n man_n and_o the_o mid●anitish_a woman_n that_o have_v commit_v fornication_n among_o the_o people_n if_o the_o zeal_n of_o phineas_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o stay_v that_o plague_n and_o of_o withhold_v the_o lord_n hand_n then_o sure_o the_o coldness_n of_o those_o from_o who_o the_o lord_n look_v for_o much_o heat_n for_o much_o fervency_n of_o spirit_n who_o god_n expect_v shall_v stand_v in_o the_o gap_n i_o say_v that_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o lord_n go_v on_o in_o punish_v quest._n but_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v now_o to_o remove_v it_o answ._n amend_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v amiss_o repent_v and_o amend_v and_o he_o will_v turn_v from_o his_o fierce_a wrath_n which_o he_o not_o only_o intend_v against_o we_o but_o

i_o shall_v speak_v something_o particular_o to_o they_o but_o in_o truth_n this_o concern_v all_o among_o we_o but_o chief_o let_v i_o speak_v to_o those_o a_o little_a that_o be_v able_a to_o pray_v

blow_v up_o that_o be_v man_n fit_a to_o stand_v in_o the_o gap_n it_o belong_v to_o you_o my_o brethren_n to_o do_v something_o that_o the_o lord_n may_v stay_v his_o hand_n and_o remember_v that_o when_o the_o lord_n begin_v to_o send_v forth_o token_n of_o his_o wrath_n and_o displeasure_n against_o a_o nation_n it_o be_v a_o time_n wherein_o he_o expect_v and_o look_v for_o humiliation_n

to_o the_o lord_n you_o will_v not_o stand_v halfepeny-worthing_a you_o will_v not_o stand_v consider_v what_o you_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v of_o necessity_n whether_o you_o be_v bind_v to_o pray_v in_o

much_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o what_o you_o do_v come_v not_o from_o love_n to_o the_o lord_n but_o from_o some_o natural_a principle_n it_o come_v from_o yourselves_o and_o not_o from_o the_o

than_o yourselves_o be_v willing_a to_o do_v why_o do_v you_o quarrel_v with_o that_o exactness_n and_o preciseness_n and_o strictness_n which_o be_v require_v in_o walk_v in_o the_o way_n of_o god_n love_n be_v abundant_a in_o the_o work_n it_o do_v and_o if_o you_o love_v the_o lord_n you_o will_v not_o set_v limit_n to_o yourselves_o you_o will_v not_o have_v such_o thought_n as_o these_o i_o

needs_o this_o i_o hope_v may_v be_v spare_v and_o i_o may_v go_v to_o heaven_n notwithstanding_o well_o enough_o though_o i_o go_v not_o so_o fast_o as_o other_o man_n no_o beloved_n if_o there_o be_v love_n in_o you_o you_o will_v strive_v to_o do_v the_o utmost_a of_o your_o power_n it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o love_n so_o to_o do_v again_o you_o will_v not_o be_v so_o exact_a nor_o indent_v with_o the_o lord_n what_o he_o will_v do_v to_o you_o but_o though_o the_o lord_n be_v slow_a and_o slack_a in_o reward_v you_o though_o he_o stay_v long_o and_o suffer_v you_o to_o go_v on_o without_o take_v any_o notice_n of_o you_o as_o it_o be_v nay_o perhaps_o he_o give_v you_o many_o affliction_n and_o persecution_n poverty_n trouble_n sickness_n etc._n etc._n though_o the_o lord_n do_v not_o do_v what_o you_o expect_v yet_o your_o love_n will_v be_v free_a it_o will_v go_v on_o you_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o say_v as_o paul_n do_v i_o know_v who_o i_o have_v trust_v that_o be_v he_o be_v resolve_v to_o serve_v the_o lord_n to_o do_v his_o utmost_a though_o the_o lord_n do_v reserve_v himself_o and_o the_o recompense_n of_o reward_n to_o a_o further_a time_n yet_o he_o be_v content_a such_o a_o disposition_n will_v be_v find_v in_o those_o that_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n again_o you_o may_v judge_v of_o your_o love_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n by_o another_o property_n of_o love_n sin_n which_o be_v a_o hatred_n of_o sin_n by_o your_o hatred_n of_o that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o he_o for_o love_n be_v not_o better_o know_v by_o any_o thing_n than_o by_o hatred_n for_o all_o hatred_n be_v proper_o root_v in_o love_n for_o you_o hate_v nothing_o but_o because_o you_o love_v the_o contrary_a therefore_o if_o you_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n you_o will_v hate_v sin_n examine_v yourselves_o by_o this_o for_o it_o be_v a_o sure_a rule_n if_o you_o love_v the_o lord_n you_o will_v hate_v that_o which_o be_v evil_a you_o will_v say_v object_n i_o hope_v i_o do_v that_o it_o be_v well_o if_o you_o do_v answ._n but_o let_v we_o consider_v that_o it_o may_v be_v you_o may_v be_v angry_a with_o sin_n but_o do_v you_o hate_v sin_n that_o be_v the_o commendation_n that_o the_o lord_n give_v the_o church_n in_o rev._n 2._o thou_o hate_v the_o work_n of_o the_o nicholaitan_o which_o i_o also_o hate_n 2._o therefore_o if_o you_o will_v know_v whether_o you_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n try_v it_o by_o this_o do_v you_o hate_v sin_n you_o will_v say_v how_o shall_v we_o know_v whether_o we_o hate_v it_o or_o no_o answ._n in_o these_o three_o thing_n you_o shall_v find_v wherein_o hatred_n differ_v from_o anger_n anger_n and_o thereby_o you_o may_v examine_v yourselves_o first_o hatred_n be_v more_o of_o general_n a_o man_n hate_v all_o drunkard_n if_o he_o hate_v drunkenness_n he_o hate_v all_o toad_n and_o all_o serpent_n if_o he_o hate_v poison_n a_o man_n be_v angry_a with_o this_o or_o that_o particular_a but_o hatred_n be_v of_o all_o i_o will_v ask_v thou_o do_v thou_o hate_v all_o sin_n every_o thing_n that_o be_v call_v sin_n all_o that_o belong_v to_o sin_n if_o it_o be_v this_o or_o that_o sin_n that_o you_o make_v against_o you_o be_v but_o angry_a with_o sin_n you_o do_v not_o hate_v sin_n for_o hatred_n fall_v always_o upon_o the_o general_a examine_v therefore_o if_o you_o find_v this_o disposition_n in_o your_o heart_n that_o you_o hate_v every_o sin_n that_o your_o heart_n rise_v against_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v sinful_a whatsoever_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o lord_n whatsoever_o you_o apprehend_v under_o the_o notion_n of_o sin_n that_o you_o hate_v and_o resist_v and_o strive_v against_o this_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o you_o love_v the_o lord_n second_o hatred_n desire_v the_o utter_a destruction_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o hate_v anger_n do_v not_o so_o anger_n desire_v but_o a_o revenge_n proportionable_a to_o the_o injury_n therefore_o we_o say_v there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o justice_n in_o anger_n it_o will_v not_o have_v the_o party_n that_o it_o be_v angry_a with_o to_o be_v destroy_v but_o it_o will_v have_v he_o sensible_a of_o its_o displeasure_n it_o will_v have_v something_o do_v that_o may_v answer_v the_o injury_n that_o be_v offer_v but_o hatred_n desire_v the_o destruction_n of_o a_o thing_n utter_o now_o do_v you_o do_v so_o with_o your_o sin_n do_v you_o desire_v to_o have_v they_o whole_o extirpate_v and_o root_v out_o of_o you_o to_o have_v your_o lust_n thorough_o and_o perfect_o mortify_v be_v you_o willing_a to_o have_v sin_n so_o clean_o take_v away_o that_o you_o may_v have_v any_o no_o liberty_n to_o have_v dalliance_n with_o it_o in_o any_o kind_n do_v you_o hate_v it_o so_o as_o that_o you_o can_v endure_v to_o come_v near_o it_o nor_o to_o have_v it_o within_o your_o sight_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n you_o hate_v it_o indeed_o last_o hatred_n differ_v from_o anger_n in_o this_o that_o it_o be_v implacable_a hatred_n come_v from_o judgement_n and_o it_o continue_v and_o therefore_o hatred_n be_v not_o a_o passion_n but_o we_o call_v it_o a_o affection_n it_o be_v a_o beauty_n and_o disposition_n and_o frame_v of_o the_o will_n anger_n be_v a_o passion_n that_o die_v and_o flit_v away_o after_o a_o time_n but_o hatred_n continue_v be_v your_o disposition_n such_o to_o your_o sin_n examine_v yourselves_o nothing_o be_v more_o frequent_a my_o brethren_n than_o to_o be_v humble_v for_o some_o sin_n which_o amaze_v you_o for_o the_o present_a but_o do_v your_o hatred_n continue_v if_o not_o you_o do_v but_o fall_v out_o with_o your_o sin_n only_o and_o grow_v friend_n with_o

god_n above_o all_o that_o be_v let_v a_o man_n be_v himself_o at_o any_o time_n let_v not_o his_o lust_n get_v the_o upper_a ground_n of_o he_o as_o sometime_o it_o do_v when_o he_o be_v in_o

be_v himself_o in_o his_o ordinary_a course_n and_o still_o he_o prefer_v the_o lord_n before_o any_o thing_n in_o all_o his_o action_n you_o will_v say_v object_n this_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o no_o

that_o love_n upon_o further_a knowledge_n etc._n etc._n so_o we_o may_v love_v the_o lord_n above_o all_o and_o yet_o come_v short_a of_o that_o degree_n that_o we_o may_v have_v after_o long_a
