with_o the_o notion_n and_o state_n of_o all_o such_o because_o the_o choose_a one_o of_o god_n be_v those_o and_o only_o those_o who_o show_v the_o truth_n and_o vigour_n of_o their_o faith_n by_o all_o holy_a conversation_n and_o godliness_n though_o they_o be_v in_o the_o world_n yet_o in_o the_o scripture-sence_n they_o be_v not_o of_o the_o world_n but_o choose_v out_o of_o the_o world_n as_o our_o saviour_n say_v of_o his_o first_o disciple_n john_n 15._o 19_o and_o for_o this_o reason_n the_o world_n hate_v they_o because_o they_o be_v not_o of_o the_o world_n even_o as_o christ_n himself_o be_v not_o of_o the_o world_n john_n 17._o 14._o therefore_o the_o world_n know_v they_o not_o because_o it_o know_v not_o god_n who_o son_n they_o be_v 1_o john_n 3._o 1._o when_o man_n

of_o ignorance_n or_o out_o of_o design_n or_o out_o of_o both_o god_n know_v now_o not_o to_o urge_v any_o more_o place_n of_o scripture_n to_o this_o purpose_n those_o already_o cite_v be_v enough_o to_o show_v that_o in_o the_o sacred_a dialect_n the_o world_n be_v take_v common_o in_o the_o soft_a sense_n for_o mankind_n in_o general_a and_o many_o time_n in_o a_o severe_a construction_n for_o those_o of_o they_o who_o be_v in_o the_o most_o desperate_a condition_n the_o more_o wretched_a sinful_a and_o provoke_a part_n of_o mankind_n but_o we_o never_o find_v it_o use_v to_o signify_v a_o peculiar_a people_n approve_v of_o god_n acceptable_a to_o he_o or_o so_o in_o favour_n with_o he_o as_o to_o be_v elect_v by_o he_o unto_o everlasting_a glory_n and_o shall_v these_o place_n of_o scripture_n be_v apply_v to_o those_o who_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v so_o elect_v such_o consequence_n will_v necessary_o follow_v as_o to_o all_o rational_a and_o sober_a man_n will_v appear_v not_o only_o very_o absurd_a but_o very_o impious_a and_o horrible_a also_o to_o come_v close_o then_o to_o the_o matter_n in_o hand_n when_o our_o saviour_n say_v god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n etc._n etc._n his_o plain_a meaning_n be_v that_o god_n send_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n into_o the_o world_n be_v a_o act_n of_o his_o love_n to_o the_o whole_a race_n of_o adam_n to_o all_o man_n without_o any_o exception_n not_o only_o to_o the_o jew_n but_o to_o the_o sinful_a gentile_n also_o to_o all_o and_o singular_a that_o do_v or_o shall_v live_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o whole_a earth_n nay_o a_o act_n of_o love_n even_o to_o those_o who_o be_v the_o ungodly_a of_o the_o world_n the_o most_o corrupt_a people_n the_o great_a sinner_n that_o be_v most_o of_o all_o under_o god_n wrath_n and_o displeasure_n 2._o some_z may_v be_v ready_a to_o inquire_v here_o how_o the_o god_n of_o purity_n can_v be_v say_v to_o love_n people_n that_o be_v in_o such_o a_o sad_a and_o wretched_a state_n why_o this_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n i_o be_o to_o consider_v and_o before_o i_o proceed_v to_o the_o explication_n thereof_o i_o must_v entreat_v you_o to_o observe_v that_o love_n and_o anger_n be_v not_o at_o all_o inconsistent_a love_n and_o hatred_n indeed_o be_v opposite_a affection_n but_o love_n and_o displeasure_n may_v go_v together_o and_o very_o often_o there_o be_v kindness_n even_o where_o there_o be_v indignation_n as_o frail_a and_o infirm_a being_n as_o we_o ourselves_o be_v we_o find_v in_o our_o own_o nature_n a_o mixture_n of_o these_o disposition_n thus_o a_o magistrate_n be_v angry_a with_o a_o malefactor_n though_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o pity_v he_o a_o father_n be_v incense_v against_o a_o undutiful_a child_n though_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o love_v he_o and_o for_o that_o reason_n correct_v because_o he_o bear_v a_o tender_a and_o entire_a affection_n towards_o he_o one_o man_n be_v high_o displease_v with_o another_o and_o reckon_v he_o a_o enemy_n though_o at_o the_o same_o time_n he_o be_v benevolent_o affect_v to_o he_o as_o a_o neighbour_n and_o a_o christian_a and_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v he_o any_o charitable_a office_n as_o one_o for_o who_o the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v please_v to_o die_v and_o if_o these_o several_a affection_n thus_o meet_v in_o we_o though_o our_o nature_n be_v vitiate_a and_o corrupt_a how_o can_v it_o seem_v incredible_a that_o at_o the_o same_o time_n displeasure_n and_o love_n shall_v come_v from_o that_o divine_a be_v who_o be_v absolute_o perfect_a transcendent_o righteous_a infinite_o necessary_o and_o inexhaustible_o good_a and_o merciful_a this_o be_v premise_v that_o i_o may_v now_o proceed_v distinct_o and_o clear_o upon_o this_o subject_a i_o must_v desire_v you_o again_o to_o observe_v that_o there_o be_v a_o twofold_a love_n to_o be_v consider_v here_o or_o rather_o a_o twofold_n degree_n of_o love_n and_o of_o each_o of_o these_o we_o find_v in_o ourselves_o a_o daily_a sense_n and_o experiment_n 1._o first_o there_o be_v in_o our_o nature_n especial_o when_o it_o be_v smooth_v and_o soften_v by_o religion_n a_o inclination_n to_o do_v a_o man_n good_a consider_v under_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o man_n though_o his_o action_n towards_o we_o be_v such_o that_o he_o deserve_v not_o thereby_o any_o kindness_n at_o our_o hand_n but_o rather_o the_o contrary_n this_o divine_n be_v wont_a to_o call_v the_o love_n of_o benevolence_n a_o love_n that_o we_o bear_v towards_o all_o mankind_n for_o common_a humanity_n sake_n and_o a_o affection_n which_o the_o law_n of_o christ_n require_v we_o to_o have_v even_o for_o our_o bitter_a and_o most_o implacable_a enemy_n how_o provoke_v soever_o their_o practice_n be_v work_v of_o mercy_n and_o
