of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n what_o it_o be_v this_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o second_o a_o motive_n to_o engage_v we_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o and_o his_o commandment_n be_v not_o grievous_a i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o of_o these_o the_o account_n of_o this_o love_n of_o god_n what_o it_o be_v this_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n by_o the_o love_n of_o god_n here_o we_o be_v not_o to_o understand_v god_n love_n to_o we_o but_o our_o love_n to_o god_n as_o be_v plain_a by_o this_o because_o it_o be_v place_v in_o our_o keep_v his_o commandment_n this_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o be_v this_o be_v the_o natural_a effect_n and_o proper_a exercise_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o keep_n god_n commandment_n be_v not_o the_o affection_n of_o love_n to_o he_o but_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o so_o that_o the_o mean_v of_o the_o word_n be_v this_o this_o be_v the_o most_o genuine_a expression_n and_o inseparable_a effect_n of_o our_o love_n of_o god_n that_o we_o obey_v his_o law_n and_o hence_o our_o saviour_n make_v this_o the_o proper_a trial_n and_o proof_n of_o our_o love_n to_o he_o if_o you_o love_v i_o keep_v my_o commandment_n john_n fourteen_o 15_o for_o this_o he_o tell_v we_o ver_fw-la 23._o be_v the_o necessary_a consequence_n of_o our_o love_n to_o he_o if_o any_o man_n love_v i_o he_o will_v keep_v my_o word_n i._n e._n this_o will_n most_o certain_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o his_o love_n to_o i_o that_o he_o will_v be_v obedient_a to_o my_o will._n and_o by_o this_o he_o plain_o tell_v we_o he_o will_v judge_v of_o the_o sincerity_n of_o our_o friendship_n to_o he_o john_n xv_o 14_o you_o be_v my_o friend_n if_o you_o do_v whatsoever_o i_o command_v you_o from_o all_o which_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o most_o proper_a and_o characteristical_a expression_n of_o our_o love_n to_o god_n be_v our_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o indeed_o consider_v that_o god_n be_v our_o sovereign_a lawgiver_n there_o be_v no_o action_n by_o which_o we_o can_v so_o natural_o express_v our_o affection_n to_o he_o as_o by_o those_o of_o obedience_n and_o submission_n to_o his_o law_n and_o therefore_o we_o find_v in_o scripture_n that_o to_o love_n god_n and_o obey_v his_o law_n and_o to_o hate_n god_n and_o disobey_v they_o be_v general_o use_v promiscuous_o for_o one_o another_o and_o that_o for_o very_o good_a reason_n for_o here_o our_o love_n and_o hatred_n of_o god_n be_v not_o consider_v as_o conversant_a about_o god_n as_o god_n in_o which_o sense_n perhaps_o there_o be_v no_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n can_v be_v say_v to_o hate_v he_o but_o as_o conversant_a about_o he_o as_o lord_n and_o governor_n of_o the_o world_n as_o he_o give_v law_n to_o mankind_n whereby_o he_o command_v they_o what_o to_o do_v and_o forbid_v they_o what_o to_o avoid_v and_o in_o this_o sense_n to_o love_n god_n be_v to_o love_v he_o as_o govern_v and_o command_v and_o as_o such_o we_o can_v no_o otherwise_o express_v our_o love_n to_o he_o but_o by_o keep_v his_o commandment_n but_o for_o the_o far_o clear_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v in_o prosecution_n of_o the_o argument_n do_v these_o two_o thing_n i._o show_v you_o that_o wheresoever_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v it_o will_v most_o certain_o prove_v a_o principle_n of_o obedience_n to_o he_o ii_o that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v in_o itself_o the_o most_o perfect_a and_o effectual_a principle_n of_o obedience_n 1._o that_o wheresoever_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v it_o will_v most_o certain_o prove_v a_o principle_n of_o obedience_n to_o he_o and_o this_o i_o doubt_v not_o will_v evident_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v that_o all_o the_o natural_a expression_n of_o our_o love_n as_o it_o be_v terminate_v upon_o god_n do_v of_o their_o own_o accord_n final_o resolve_v themselves_o into_o obedience_n to_o his_o will._n for_o love_n wheresoever_o it_o be_v hearty_a and_o sincere_a always_o express_v itself_o in_o such_o symptom_n as_o these_o 1._o in_o industrious_o endeavour_v to_o resemble_v the_o belove_a 2._o in_o conform_v the_o will_n design_n and_o intention_n to_o the_o will_n and_o design_n and_o intention_n of_o the_o belove_a 3._o in_o a_o solicitous_a care_n of_o avoid_v those_o thing_n which_o may_v any_o way_n displease_v or_o distaste_v the_o belove_a 4._o in_o a_o cheerful_a readiness_n to_o undergo_v any_o thing_n be_v it_o never_o so_o hard_a or_o difficult_a for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o belove_a all_o which_o expression_n of_o our_o love_n when_o it_o be_v terminate_v upon_o god_n do_v most_o natural_o run_v into_o obedience_n to_o his_o will._n 1._o if_o we_o love_v god_n
