large_a what_o god_n do_v more_o for_o man_n he_o give_v he_o all_o the_o creature_n not_o only_o for_o necessary_a use_n but_o also_o for_o delight_n and_o when_o among_o they_o all_o he_o find_v

the_o whole_a earth_n gen._n 1.18_o psal_n 8.6_o hereby_o we_o may_v so_o far_o take_v notice_n of_o that_o infinite_a love_n of_o the_o creator_n to_o the_o creature_n that_o we_o may_v be_v able_a in_o some_o measure_n to_o see_v the_o heinousness_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n and_o the_o punishment_n due_a for_o the_o same_o unto_o which_o we_o be_v all_o liable_a by_o

they_o be_v fresh_a the_o place_n where_o even_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o they_o in_o the_o garden_n the_o little_a need_n they_o have_v who_o want_v for_o nothing_o that_o their_o nature_n be_v

will_v not_o suffer_v god_n to_o reserve_v one_o that_o have_v free_o give_v they_o all_o also_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a thing_n that_o our_o first_o parent_n shall_v so_o ready_o hearken_v unto_o the_o serpent_n of_o who_o they_o never_o receive_v good_a and_o balance_v his_o suggestion_n with_o the_o unfallible_a truth_n of_o their_o creator_n of_o who_o goodness_n they_o have_v as_o much_o

thing_n above_o all_o that_o show_v the_o desperate_a nature_n of_o their_o sin_n that_o they_o will_v adventure_v upon_o the_o breach_n of_o that_o law_n of_o god_n and_o make_v themselves_o thereby_o the_o subject_n of_o his_o heavy_a wrath_n when_o neither_o they_o nor_o any_o other_o creature_n in_o heaven_n or_o earth_n can_v know_v or_o conceive_v any_o way_n of_o redemption_n if_o any_o man_n can_v but_o meditate_v on_o this_o it_o will_v wound_v the_o hear_v heart_n o_o what_o shall_v a_o poor_a soul_n think_v in_o such_o a_o case_n what_o have_v i_o do_v what_o have_v i_o

his_o unspeakable_a mercy_n to_o we_o in_o the_o great_a misery_n that_o any_o creature_n can_v his_o unfallible_a truth_n in_o keep_v promise_n to_o all_o age_n all_o this_o agree_n with_o the_o

this_o but_o i_o only_o mention_v they_o for_o the_o far_a aggravation_n of_o our_o actual_a sin_n and_o to_o show_v thereby_o how_o just_o god_n may_v require_v all_o love_n &_o obedience_n from_o we_o that_o have_v deny_v we_o nothing_o that_o be_v fit_a for_o we_o let_v we_o see_v then_o what_o it_o be_v that_o christ_n require_v to_o be_v perform_v on_o our_o part_n that_o be_v faith_n to_o believe_v lay_v hold_v on_o and_o apply_v all_o the_o promise_n of_o god_n unto_o we_o and_o this_o be_v not_o a_o dead_a faith_n but_o such_o as_o work_v by_o love_n as_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o scripture_n gal._n 5.6_o for_o in_o christ_n jesus_n neither_o circumcision_n avail_v any_o thing_n neither_o uncircumcision_n but_o faith_n which_o work_v by_o love_n and_o in_o the_o 13._o ver_n the_o apostle_n say_v love_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n saint_n james_n call_v it_o the_o royal_a law_n james_n 2.8_o love_v then_o be_v the_o substance_n of_o all_o the_o duty_n that_o god_n require_v as_o we_o may_v see_v mat._n 22.37.38_o 39_o i_o shall_v say_v no_o more_o but_o go_v on_o with_o what_o i_o intend_v concern_v this_o duty_n of_o love_n and_o of_o the_o contrary_a evil_n uncharitableness_n in_o 1_o john_n 3.10_o we_o have_v this_o lay_v down_o as_o a_o character_n of_o the_o child_n of_o the_o devil_n in_o the_o late_a part_n of_o the_o verse_n namely_o he_o that_o love_v not_o his_o brother_n such_o a_o one_o be_v not_o of_o god_n now_o we_o must_v understand_v that_o in_o the_o scripture_n such_o as_o love_v not_o be_v say_v to_o hate_v hence_o we_o may_v see_v what_o uncharitable_a person_n be_v they_o belong_v to_o satan_n this_o we_o may_v see_v plain_o prove_v 1_o john_n 4.16_o and_o 1_o john_n 29._o and_o gal._n 5.2_o it_o be_v reckon_v up_o among_o the_o work_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o in_o tit._n 3.3_o it_o be_v set_v down_o as_o the_o note_n of_o a_o wicked_a man_n now_o we_o must_v not_o understand_v every_o unkindness_n to_o be_v the_o hatred_n here_o mean_v for_o among_o good_a man_n many_o time_n this_o may_v fall_v out_o as_o act_n 15.39_o paul_n and_o barnabas_n part_v company_n upon_o a_o private_a difference_n but_o the_o uncharitableness_n here_o speak_v of_o be_v a_o perverse_a disposition_n of_o the_o mind_n whereby_o we_o be_v make_v unfit_a to_o perform_v any_o office_n of_o love_n as_o the_o lord_n require_v but_o rather_o the_o contrary_a nay_o further_o uncharitable_a man_n be_v like_o the_o devil_n whole_a they_o be_v and_o to_o who_o they_o do_v belong_v for_o the_o devil_n may_v be_v say_v to_o have_v knowledge_n faith_n fear_n and_o such_o like_a james_n 2.19_o but_o the_o devil_n have_v no_o love_n he_o love_v none_o but_o hate_v and_o as_o god_n make_v himself_o know_v unto_o we_o by_o this_o so_o he_o make_v it_o the_o true_a sign_n whereby_o we_o shall_v know_v those_o that_o belong_v unto_o he_o john_n 13.35_o by_o this_o shall_v all_o man_n know_v that_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n if_o that_o you_o have_v love_v one_o to_o another_o by_o all_o this_o we_o may_v see_v what_o a_o hateful_a sin_n uncharitableness_n be_v and_o what_o cause_n it_o give_v we_o to_o suspect_v our_o sincerity_n when_o we_o feel_v in_o ourselves_o the_o mark_n of_o this_o sin_n which_o may_v be_v brief_o these_o the_o first_o note_n of_o a_o uncharitable_a man_n be_v such_o as_o take_v thing_n in_o the_o worst_a part_n or_o worse_o than_o they_o be_v mean_v as_o those_o wicked_a prince_n of_o the_o child_n of_o ammon_n persuade_v hanun_n 1_o chron_n 19.3_o or_o as_o they_o deal_v with_o our_o saviour_n christ_n turn_v his_o word_n into_o other_o sense_n than_o he_o mean_v for_o he_o speak_v of_o his_o body_n they_o will_v needs_o have_v it_o the_o temple_n john_n 2.19_o and_o to_o this_o purpose_n see_v how_o love_n be_v describe_v 1_o cor._n 13.4_o among_o many_o other_o thing_n it_o be_v say_v love_n think_v not_o evil_a also_o uncharitable_a man_n will_v put_v a_o bad_a end_n upon_o all_o be_v say_v or_o do_v as_o if_o all_o be_v do_v in_o hypocrisy_n and_o so_o put_v the_o worst_a construction_n that_o may_v be_v a_o second_o note_n be_v when_o man_n be_v so_o easy_o provoke_v fly_v out_o upon_o every_o slight_a occasion_n or_o show_v of_o offence_n as_o if_o their_o uncharitable_a nature_n be_v as_o touch-powder_n kindle_v with_o the_o least_o spark_n we_o see_v in_o that_o 1_o cor._n 13._o love_n suffer_v long_o it_o be_v not_o of_o this_o touchy_a nature_n three_o when_o a_o man_n seek_v his_o own_o for_o what_o be_v the_o say_n of_o the_o world_n just_a as_o kain_n be_o i_o my_o brother_n keeper_n see_v to_o this_o purpose_n that_o forename_a 1_o cor._n 13._o love_n seek_v not_o her_o own_o but_o we_o know_v

of_o the_o spirit_n be_v give_v to_o every_o man_n to_o profit_v withal_o and_o to_o that_o purpose_n in_o the_o last_o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n the_o apostle_n advise_v we_o to_o desire_v the_o best_a gift_n have_v former_o mention_v divers_a but_o conclude_v in_o that_o verse_n that_o he_o will_v show_v they_o a_o more_o excellent_a way_n which_o he_o show_v in_o the_o next_o chapter_n to_o be_v love_n and_o make_v it_o plain_a that_o without_o that_o all_o the_o other_o be_v or_o will_v prove_v unto_o they_o unprofitable_a it_o be_v most_o singular_o set_v forth_o unto_o we_o in_o that_o 1_o cor._n 13.1_o 2_o 3_o 4_o 5_o 6_o 7._o and_o in_o conclusion_n he_o crow_v love_n with_o this_o above_o all_o the_o rest_n that_o it_o shall_v never_o fall_v away_o verse_n the_o 8._o love_n do_v never_o fall_v away_o etc._n etc._n and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n advise_v we_o col._n 3.14_o and_o above_o all_o thing_n put_v on_o love_n which_o be_v the_o bond_n of_o perfectness_n this_o indeed_o tie_v all_o together_o and_o when_o this_o bond_n be_v break_v we_o can_v perform_v our_o duty_n as_o we_o ought_v we_o see_v nabal_n he_o can_v not_o help_v david_n he_o have_v no_o love_n the_o four_o motive_n be_v every_o man_n look_v that_o other_o shall_v love_v he_o and_o supply_v his_o want_n be_v it_o not_o most_o equal_a we_o shall_v do_v the_o like_a to_o they_o see_v what_o christ_n speak_v to_o this_o purpose_n mat._n 7.12_o therefore_o whatsoever_o you_o will_v that_o man_n shall_v do_v unto_o you_o the_o same_o do_v you_o unto_o they_o etc._n etc._n want_v of_o love_n than_o be_v a_o most_o unreasonable_a sin_n there_o be_v divers_a motive_n also_o to_o this_o duty_n in_o respect_n of_o our_o brethren_n first_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o near_a relation_n we_o have_v to_o they_o they_o be_v of_o our_o own_o flesh_n esa_n 58.7_o we_o will_v not_o hurt_v our_o own_o flesh_n but_o we_o know_v there_o shall_v be_v a_o near_a relation_n of_o the_o same_o spirit_n second_o there_o be_v not_o the_o worst_a but_o have_v some_o thing_n in_o he_o to_o be_v belove_v or_o whereby_o we_o may_v exercise_v our_o love_n that_o be_v delight_n or_o pity_n three_o the_o poor_a and_o mean_a may_v help_v the_o rich_a as_o we_o see_v david_n use_v the_o help_n of_o the_o poor_a egyptian_a 1_o sam._n 30.11_o also_o the_o poor_a be_v or_o may_v be_v belove_v of_o god_n now_o to_o show_v what_o this_o love_n be_v it_o be_v a_o fruit_n of_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n spirit_n no_o fruit_n of_o the_o flesh_n gal._n 5.22_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v say_v 1_o john_n 4.7_o love_n come_v of_o god_n and_o the_o apostle_n saint_n paul_n say_v that_o he_o need_v not_o write_v unto_o they_o of_o this_o duty_n for_o this_o be_v teach_v they_o by_o god_n himself_o 1_o thes_n 4.9_o but_o as_o touch_v brotherly_a love_n you_o need_v not_o that_o i_o write_v unto_o you_o for_o you_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n to_o love_v one_o another_o thus_o we_o see_v than_o we_o have_v not_o love_v by_o nature_n now_o there_o be_v divers_a conclusion_n may_v be_v draw_v from_o this_o first_o that_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o error_n in_o such_o as_o maintain_v that_o the_o first_o act_n of_o love_n be_v in_o man_n by_o nature_n we_o may_v see_v this_o clear_v by_o that_o the_o apostle_n speak_v col._n 3.14_o and_o above_o all_o thing_n put_v on_o love_n show_v that_o by_o nature_n man_n be_v without_o it_o so_o likewise_o see_v to_o that_o purpose_n tit._n 3.3_o the_o second_o conclusion_n what_o may_v be_v in_o man_n by_o nature_n be_v not_o love_n as_o we_o see_v john_n 3.6_o the_o three_o conclusion_n that_o love_n which_o friend_n bear_v to_o friend_n parent_n to_o child_n etc._n etc._n be_v not_o this_o love_n 1_o king_n 3.26_o so_o the_o very_a heathen_a may_v do_v mat._n 5.46_o the_o four_o conclusion_n if_o love_n be_v a_o fruit_n of_o god_n spirit_n then_o wicked_a man_n can_v never_o love_v one_o another_o as_o we_o see_v betwixt_o the_o man_n of_o shechem_n and_o abimelech_n such_o friendship_n we_o shall_v find_v in_o the_o alehouse_n among_o drunkard_n the_o great_a show_n of_o love_n when_o perhaps_o that_o be_v the_o first_o of_o their_o acquaintance_n and_o before_o they_o part_v one_o stab_v another_o it_o be_v little_a better_o with_o all_o carnal_a man_n they_o can_v love_v never_o therefore_o keep_v company_n with_o such_o neither_o trust_v a_o wicked_a man_n for_o at_o best_o he_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o leave_v thou_o in_o time_n of_o great_a need_n thus_o we_o see_v ahab_n leave_v jehosaphat_n 1_o king_n 22.30_o and_o of_o this_o the_o prophet_n david_n complain_v psal_n 41.9_o yea_o my_o familiar_a friend_n who_o i_o trust_v which_o do_v eat_v of_o my_o bread_n etc._n etc._n see_v also_o a_o example_n in_o judas_n christ_n make_v he_o not_o only_o a_o apostle_n but_o also_o a_o especial_a officer_n among_o the_o apostle_n yet_o he_o can_v not_o love_v he_o such_o man_n friendship_n be_v like_a that_o of_o jupiters_n priest_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o people_n mention_v act_v 14.13_o that_o will_v have_v sacrifice_v to_o the_o apostle_n and_o in_o the_o 19_o verse_n be_v ready_a to_o stone_n they_o the_o five_o conclusion_n than_o may_v be_v this_o labour_v all_o we_o can_v to_o intrust_v ourselves_o in_o the_o affection_n of_o god_n child_n for_o if_o there_o be_v any_o love_n it_o be_v among_o they_o this_o do_v the_o prophet_n david_n psal_n 16.3_o to_o the_o saint_n that_o be_v on_o earth_n and_o to_o the_o excellent_a all_o my_o delight_n be_v in_o they_o let_v we_o now_o see_v the_o general_a nature_n of_o love_n it_o be_v ready_a to_o do_v good_a etc._n etc._n therefore_o the_o lord_n be_v say_v to_o wait_v esa_n 30.18_o thus_o it_o be_v also_o in_o man_n or_o at_o least_o shall_v be_v see_v what_o the_o apostle_n speak_v act._n 21.13_o what_o do_v you_o weep_v and_o break_v my_o heart_n for_o i_o be_o ready_a not_o to_o be_v bind_v only_o but_o also_o to_o die_v at_o jerusalem_n for_o the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n thus_o also_o to_o the_o brethren_n rom._n 1.15_o therefore_o as_o much_o as_o in_o i_o be_v i_o be_o ready_a etc._n etc._n so_o 2_o cor_n 12.14_o see_v likewise_o what_o be_v say_v in_o commendation_n of_o the_o people_n 2_o cor._n 9.12_o for_o i_o know_v your_o readiness_n of_o mind_n etc._n etc._n this_o also_o be_v command_v 1_o tim._n 6.18_o now_o the_o readiness_n be_v see_v in_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o when_o we_o do_v good_a without_o entreaty_n as_o we_o see_v the_o disciple_n do_v act._n 11.28_o 29_o 30._o whensoever_o they_o hear_v of_o the_o want_n of_o the_o saint_n send_v they_o succour_v second_o when_o we_o do_v good_a at_o the_o first_o motion_n as_o hyram_n 1_o king_n 5.7_o he_o rejoice_v at_o the_o motion_n thus_o it_o be_v say_v of_o that_o wisdom_n which_o be_v from_o above_o james_n 3.17_o easy_a to_o be_v entreat_v etc._n etc._n some_o will_v perform_v a_o act_n of_o love_n with_o much_o entreaty_n as_o the_o unjust_a judge_n luke_n 18.36_o this_o be_v not_o love_n for_o love_n will_v constrain_v we_o as_o we_o see_v act_n 16.15_o of_o lydia_n but_o when_o man_n be_v trouble_v and_o think_v much_o that_o any_o man_n shall_v move_v they_o to_o this_o duty_n it_o be_v a_o ill_a sign_n we_o ought_v to_o lay_v down_o our_o life_n as_o saint_n john_n speak_v john_n 10.11_o and_o to_o do_v good_a as_o the_o prophet_n david_n speak_v psal_n 122.9_o and_o so_o heb._n 13.16_o to_o do_v good_a and_o to_o distribute_v forget_v not_o etc._n etc._n love_n be_v like_o the_o good_a woman_n speak_v of_o prov._n 31.12_o she_o will_v do_v he_o good_a and_o not_o evil_a all_o the_o day_n of_o her_o life_n hence_o arise_v three_o conclusion_n first_o love_n consist_v not_o in_o word_n and_o compliment_n as_o james_n 2.16_o this_o be_v no_o more_o love_n than_o the_o son_n be_v obedience_n who_o say_v that_o he_o will_v do_v it_o but_o do_v it_o not_o see_v what_o saint_n
