learn_v to_o know_v the_o lord_n for_o the_o more_o you_o know_v he_o the_o more_o you_o will_v love_v he_o what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n so_o love_v he_o because_o

because_o we_o conceive_v he_o under_o such_o a_o notion_n we_o conceive_v his_o heart_n to_o be_v of_o such_o and_o such_o a_o frame_n we_o think_v he_o to_o be_v a_o man_n of_o such_o and_o such_o a_o condition_n when_o we_o thus_o conceive_v the_o lord_n it_o will_v teach_v we_o to_o love_v he_o more_o therefore_o this_o you_o must_v know_v that_o for_o you_o only_o to_o look_v upon_o thing_n

this_o need_v not_o any_o distinct_a divide_v into_o branch_n yet_o that_o we_o may_v help_v your_o memory_n we_o will_v put_v it_o into_o a_o number_n examination_n and_o first_o we_o will_v make_v this_o expostulation_n you_o that_o profess_v you_o love_v the_o lord_n as_o who_o will_v not_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v that_o to_o say_v he_o love_v christ_n but_o yet_o as_o the_o apostle_n john_n speak_v of_o love_n to_o the_o brethren_n that_o man_n love_v they_o in_o show_n and_o not_o in_o truth_n so_o it_o be_v with_o most_o man_n they_o love_v the_o lord_n in_o word_n and_o in_o

indeed_o some_o there_o be_v that_o profess_v much_o love_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n but_o yet_o spend_v their_o time_n idle_o be_v diligent_a in_o no_o call_n but_o waste_v their_o precious_a

have_v the_o more_o wage_n bury_v so_o many_o precious_a talent_n whereof_o their_o time_n be_v the_o chief_a because_o it_o help_v to_o improove_v all_o the_o rest_n of_o which_o they_o shall_v give_v a_o exact_a account_n at_o that_o day_n when_o god_n shall_v judge_v the_o secret_n of_o man_n heart_n according_a to_o our_o gospel_n do_v you_o profess_v that_o you_o love_v the_o lord_n

that_o you_o shall_v ever_o find_v in_o this_o life_n it_o will_v be_v from_o work_v from_o be_v serviceable_a to_o god_n and_o profitable_a to_o man_n empty_a life_n cause_n but_o empty_a joy_n therefore_o if_o any_o man_n shall_v find_v this_o to_o be_v his_o case_n examine_v it_o it_o be_v but_o a_o false_a profession_n of_o love_n and_o as_o i_o speak_v to_o those_o that_o be_v young_a that_o spend_v their_o time_n nihil_fw-la agendo_fw-la so_o i_o may_v say_v the_o same_o to_o those_o that_o be_v of_o more_o year_n that_o waste_v their_o life_n in_o do_v something_o indeed_o but_o it_o be_v not_o that_o which_o they_o shall_v do_v or_o in_o do_v it_o in_o another_o manner_n than_o they_o ought_v those_o that_o be_v so_o drown_v in_o business_n so_o overwhelm_v with_o

inward_a man_n will_v languish_v and_o grow_v faint_a but_o to_o speak_v a_o word_n unto_o you_o likewise_o do_v you_o think_v that_o you_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n in_o good_a earnest_n and_o

my_o brethren_n answ._n we_o must_v add_v this_o for_o a_o conclusion_n that_o it_o be_v not_o every_o kind_n of_o love_n that_o the_o lord_n accept_v but_o your_o love_n must_v have_v these_o two_o

that_o be_v every_o where_o require_v in_o the_o scripture_n that_o be_v the_o lord_n will_v have_v the_o whole_a stream_n of_o your_o affection_n and_o desire_n and_o intention_n and_o your_o

there_o must_v be_v no_o division_n there_o you_o must_v not_o say_v here_o as_o he_o say_v my_o country_n and_o my_o father_n and_o my_o child_n and_o my_o friend_n have_v a_o part_n in_o my_o love_n but_o the_o lord_n must_v have_v all_o and_o there_o be_v good_a reason_n for_o it_o because_o he_o bestow_v all_o on_o you_o it_o be_v in_o this_o love_n as_o it_o be_v in_o marriage_n in_o that_o

and_o then_o we_o shall_v leave_v the_o lord_n and_o take_v that_o therefore_o i_o say_v it_o be_v require_v that_o we_o love_v the_o lord_n above_o all_o for_o every_o kind_n of_o love_n be_v not_o

of_o love_n that_o love_n that_o will_v serve_v for_o one_o will_v not_o serve_v for_o another_o a_o parent_n a_o king_n and_o a_o master_n as_o they_o have_v different_a relation_n so_o they_o must_v be_v love_n with_o different_a kind_n of_o love_n now_o then_o consider_v what_o love_n it_o be_v that_o belong_v to_o the_o lord_n he_o must_v have_v all_o he_o must_v have_v a_o love_n that_o

will_v answer_v i_o will_v take_v none_o of_o these_o thing_n at_o your_o hand_n even_o as_o landlord_n do_v with_o their_o tenant_n simile_n when_o they_o bring_v not_o all_o their_o rent_n they_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

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

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
