i_o mean_v not_o only_o whether_o some_o other_o act_n as_o intellectual_a perception_n and_o belief_n be_v not_o in_o order_n of_o nature_n before_o it_o and_o in_o time_n with_o it_o and_o real_a

be_v the_o first_o effect_n of_o god_n on_o the_o soul_n than_o the_o controversy_n be_v all_o at_o a_o end_n about_o the_o difference_n of_o sufficient_a and_o effectual_a equal_a and_o unequal_a

will_n be_v the_o prime_a seat_n of_o morality_n and_o that_o love_n or_o complacency_n be_v as_o the_o spirit_n of_o all_o save_a special_a grace_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v ill_o say_v that_o christ_n

here_o we_o come_v to_o a_o difficult_a case_n 1._o whether_o indeed_o any_o ungodly_a man_n or_o infidel_n do_v love_n god_n sincere_o amore_fw-la amicitiae_fw-la &_o propter_fw-la se_fw-la the_o doubt_n be_v because_o to_o love_v he_o less_o than_o sinful_a pleasure_n and_o the_o creature_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o love_a he_o as_o less_o amiable_a or_o good_a and_o to_o love_v he_o as_o such_o be_v not_o to_o love_v he_o as_o god_n nor_o indeed_o to_o love_n god_n but_o a_o idol_n of_o the_o imagination_n i_o think_v we_o must_v say_v 1._o that_o no_o man_n love_v god_n adequate_o for_o no_o man_n have_v a_o adequate_a conception_n of_o he_o 2._o but_o yet_o that_o there_o be_v some_o essential_o of_o such_o true_a love_n as_o be_v necessary_a and_o suitable_a to_o our_o dark_a and_o weak_a condition_n which_o all_o must_v have_v that_o will_v be_v save_v either_o distinct_o or_o confuse_o as_o to_o know_v and_o love_v he_o as_o the_o infinite_a spirit_n the_o first_o cause_n and_o last_o end_n of_o all_o most_o powerful_a wise_a and_o good_a our_o owner_n our_o ruler_n and_o our_o benefactor_n and_o chief_a good_a father_n word_n and_o spirit_n the_o creator_n redeemer_n and_o sanctifier_n the_o author_n of_o nature_n grace_n glory_n 3._o that_o no_o wicked_a or_o unholy_a person_n true_o love_v god_n thus_o viz._n as_o his_o own_o governor_n to_o make_v he_o holy_a and_o save_v he_o from_o the_o flesh_n and_o world_n and_o as_o the_o author_n of_o those_o holy_a law_n by_o which_o he_o govern_v and_o a_o righteous_a judge_n according_a to_o those_o law_n 4._o therefore_o jansenius_n little_a sincere_a love_n in_o sensual_a man_n be_v but_o a_o love_n of_o aliquid_fw-la dei_fw-la somewhat_o of_o god_n and_o not_o proper_o of_o god_n as_o god_n speak_v of_o god_n as_o the_o object_n of_o love_n itself_o 5._o yet_o the_o same_o person_n may_v have_v all_o the_o foresaid_a notion_n of_o a_o deity_n and_o may_v notional_o call_v they_o all_o good_a and_o laudable_a but_o his_o practical_a judgement_n be_v not_o such_o of_o god_n as_o his_o holy_a governor_n judge_n and_o end_v as_o to_o bring_v he_o true_o as_o such_o to_o love_v he_o 6._o yet_o this_o may_v be_v call_v a_o love_n of_o god_n analogical_o as_o he_o be_v say_v to_o love_v the_o king_n who_o love_v he_o as_o great_a and_o good_a to_o the_o commonwealth_n though_o not_o as_o a_o

further_o loss_n do_v he_o mean_v that_o this_o love_n call_v sincere_a be_v in_o none_o but_o those_o that_o be_v save_v o●_n not_o as_o i_o say_v before_o if_o he_o do_v than_o a_o common_a drunkard_n adulterer_n etc._n etc._n may_v have_v this_o love_n and_o be_v save_v but_o i_o suppose_v he_o mean_v negative_o and_o if_o so_o methinks_v hence_o all_o his_o opposition_n to_o sufficient_a grace_n turn_v back_o upon_o himself_o and_o to_o he_o it_o may_v better_o be_v say_v why_o do_v you_o feign_v christ_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o give_v man_n such_o a_o grace_n such_o a_o love_n to_o god_n as_o no_o man_n ever_o be_v or_o will_v be_v save_v by_o without_o more_o be_v it_o any_o more_o dishonour_n to_o christ_n to_o give_v man_n some_o such_o power_n to_o do_v some_o more_o good_a ●han_o actual_o they_o do_v as_o ad●m_n have_v to_o have_v continue_v innocent_a than_o effectual_o to_o give_v so_o many_o person_n sincere_a love_n which_o shall_v never_o save_v the●_n whether_o these_o be_v they_o that_o he_o will_v adjudge_v to_o purgatory_n i_o know_v ●●_o if_o so_o he_o will_v stretch_v the_o rank_n of_o venial_a sin_n to_o those_o that_o other_o man_n call_v mortal_a iii_o but_o yet_o my_o great_a difficulty_n remain_v i_o be_o in_o doubt_n whether_o he_o that_o deny_v common_a sufficient_a grace_n and_o extend_v the_o grace_n of_o christ_n seem_o but_o to_o few_o do_v not_o real_o either_o make_v it_o the_o same_o thing_n with_o nature_n or_o extend_v it_o to_o all_o for_o i_o suspect_v that_o all_o or_o almost_o all_o man_n on_o

to_o be_v prefer_v and_o how_o can_v it_o be_v then_o that_o he_o that_o take_v the_o world_n to_o be_v so_o much_o better_a than_o himself_o and_o god_n to_o be_v better_o that_o be_v more_o
