that_o
word_n love_n be_v plain_o set_v down_o in_o this_o text_n notwithstanding_o god_n will_v not_o have_v we_o to_o love_v he_o as_o our_o fellow_n but_o he_o will_v have_v we_o to_o love_v he_o honour_v he_o and_o serve_v he_o as_o our_o god_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o that_o if_o we_o will_v observe_v god_n law_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v we_o must_v not_o consider_v he_o all_o only_a in_o the_o degree_n of_o a_o master_n thereby_o to_o yield_v he_o reverence_v but_o we_o must_v also_o set_v before_o we_o the_o title_n of_o father_n and_o assure_v ourselves_o that_o god_n intent_n be_v to_o win_v we_o to_o he_o by_o gentleness_n that_o our_o heart_n may_v be_v as_o it_o be_v tie_v unto_o he_o according_a to_o this_o say_n of_o he_o by_o his_o prophet_n if_o i_o be_v your_o master_n 1.6_o mal._n 1.6_o where_o be_v my_o fear_n and_o if_o i_o be_v your_o father_n where_o be_v my_o love_n in_o deed_n he_o set_v down_o honour_n in_o that_o place_n to_o betoken_v that_o a_o servant_n ought_v to_o fear_v his_o master_n but_o yet_o immediate_o after_o he_o set_v down_o the_o word_n love_v also_o of_o purpose_n to_o show_v what_o honour_n the_o child_n yield_v to_o his_o father_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o remember_v that_o the_o first_o point_n of_o serve_v god_n aright_o be_v to_o be_v lead_v unto_o he_o yea_o and_o to_o be_v lead_v thither_o upon_o

that_o mean_a we_o may_v no_o more_o be_v give_v to_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o his_o righteousness_n and_o that_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o we_o say_v that_o we_o must_v first_o know_v

that_o ever_o they_o do_v be_v not_o worth_a a_o pin_n insomuch_o that_o god_n reiecte_n even_o their_o keep_n of_o the_o law_n for_o we_o must_v be_v lead_v by_o love_n and_o by_o a_o frank_a and_o

131.24_o psal._n 130.7_o &_o 131.24_o and_o as_o be_v yet_o better_o express_v in_o this_o verse_n of_o the_o psalm_n that_o we_o must_v first_o know_v god_n mercy_n and_o rest_v thereupon_o or_o

even_o before_o we_o know_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o true_a it_o be_v that_o we_o have_v be_v mistaught_a but_o that_o excuse_v not_o our_o disobedience_n but_o that_o we_o ourselves_o to_o the_o

punish_v for_o it_o neither_o ought_v he_o to_o be_v but_o yet_o be_v he_o not_o excusable_a before_o god._n for_o why_o who_o be_v he_o that_o can_v so_o bridle_v himself_o that_o he_o be_v not_o inflame_v with_o choler_n or_o with_o some_o excessive_a and_o inordinate_a passion_n see_v then_o that_o such_o thing_n do_v reign_v in_o we_o we_o be_v blame_v worthy_a though_o we_o have_v just_a

for_o the_o fantastical_a fellow_n of_o our_o day_n which_o will_v take_v away_o the_o baptism_n of_o little_a child_n never_o understand_v the_o use_n of_o circumcision_n it_o seem_v unto_o they_o that_o it_o be_v but_o a_o temporal_a matter_n yea_o and_o a_o trifle_a thing_n and_o that_o it_o be_v not_o spiritual_a for_o the_o ancient_a father_n in_o so_o much_o that_o the_o curse_a heretic_n

we_o have_v to_o mark_v in_o this_o say_n of_o moses_n whereupon_o we_o have_v to_o conclude_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o we_o to_o take_v example_n at_o the_o unbeliever_n and_o such_o as_o have_v not_o be_v bring_v up_o in_o god_n school_n and_o it_o be_v a_o very_a necessary_a doctrine_n for_o we_o consider_v how_o we_o ever_o shroud_v ourselves_o under_o the_o cause_n of_o

out_o of_o y_z e_z beast_n cleave_v of_o their_o hoof_n &_o have_v tell_v we_o y_o it_o we_o must_v needs_o put_v a_o difference_n betwixt_o they_o &_o moreover_o that_o we_o must_v chew_v our_o cud_n y_o it_o be_v to_o say_v feed_v upon_o the_o doctrine_n again_o and_o again_o that_o we_o may_v the_o better_o digest_v it_o because_o it_o be_v y_z e_z food_n of_o our_o soul_n it_o be_v too_o too_o

the_o first_o point_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v for_o when_o the_o apostle_n treat_v of_o meat_n they_o allege_v not_o that_o god_n mean_v to_o do_v the_o office_n of_o a_o physician_n and_o that_o be_v a_o very_a short_a solution_n 2.16_o col._n 2.16_o when_o s._n paul_n declare_v y_o it_o the_o false_a apostle_n and_o cousener_n trouble_v the_o church_n go_v about_o to_o hold_v man_n
