next_o question_n be_v quest_n why_o say_v you_o that_o god_n love_v himself_o and_o his_o son_n and_o his_o spirit_n answ_n the_o answer_n be_v because_o they_o be_v all_o infinite_o good_a they_o be_v all_o one_o essence_n and_o one_o will_n as_o the_o object_n of_o the_o will_n be_v good_a so_o the_o object_n of_o love_n be_v good_a and_o god_n be_v love_n then_o no_o marvel_n that_o he_o love_v himself_o his_o son_n and_o his_o spirit_n because_o they_o have_v the_o same_o essence_n every_o thing_n love_v itself_o and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o marvel_n as_o wisdom_n speak_v pro._n 8._o that_o he_o be_v his_o delight_n saint_n bernard_n say_v that_o the_o love_n in_o the_o trinity_n which_o be_v divine_a charity_n keep_v they_o together_o and_o unite_v they_o in_o one_o and_o therefore_o he_o love_v himself_o quest_n why_o be_v it_o add_v that_o he_o love_v his_o creature_n free_o answ_n because_o he_o make_v they_o good_a with_o a_o several_a goodness_n he_o love_v they_o first_o he_o love_v they_o be_v enemy_n he_o love_v they_o not_o for_o benefit_n to_o himself_o but_o for_o their_o good_a therefore_o we_o say_v he_o love_v his_o creature_n free_o each_o of_o these_o we_o will_v explain_v he_o make_v all_o thing_n very_o good_a gen._n 1.31_o he_o look_v upon_o all_o that_o he_o have_v make_v and_o behold_v it_o be_v very_o good_a but_o it_o be_v say_v he_o love_v they_o free_o he_o love_v some_o before_o they_o be_v before_o they_o can_v possible_o desire_v any_o thing_n therefore_o free_o he_o love_v some_o when_o they_o be_v his_o enemy_n rom._n 5.8_o when_o we_o be_v his_o enemy_n god_n set_v forth_o his_o love_n insend_v christ_n to_o die_v for_o we_o as_o saint_n bernard_n say_v god_n love_v they_o for_o their_o own_o benefit_n not_o for_o his_o good_a god_n have_v no_o need_n of_o the_o creature_n he_o create_v they_o not_o for_o himself_o but_o that_o he_o may_v make_v they_o partaker_n of_o his_o own_o goodness_n and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o god_n love_v they_o free_o without_o any_o merit_n or_o desert_n in_o they_o quest_n why_o be_v it_o say_v he_o love_v they_o not_o equal_o answ_n because_o they_o be_v not_o all_o alike_o to_o he_o some_o creature_n only_o other_o servant_n only_o some_o child_n and_o among_o his_o child_n he_o love_v those_o that_o be_v call_v better_o than_o those_o that_o be_v not_o call_v i_o say_v they_o be_v not_o all_o alike_o to_o god_n man_n love_v the_o work_n of_o his_o own_o hand_n well_o but_o he_o love_v his_o servant_n better_a and_o his_o child_n best_o of_o all_o if_o it_o be_v so_o with_o man_n much_o more_o be_v it_o so_o with_o god_n some_o be_v his_o creature_n some_o his_o servant_n some_o his_o son_n so_o that_o he_o love_v they_o not_o all_o alike_o some_o be_v his_o child_n but_o not_o beget_v again_o he_o love_v those_o with_o a_o good_a will_n and_o purpose_n to_o call_v they_o those_o that_o he_o have_v call_v he_o have_v justify_v sanctify_a and_o have_v bestow_v upon_o they_o faith_n repentance_n and_o grace_n and_o he_o delight_v in_o these_o especial_o that_o he_o have_v bestow_v his_o grace_n upon_o and_o thus_o i_o have_v lay_v open_a the_o love_n of_o god_n &_o now_o to_o come_v to_o the_o use_v use_v 1_o this_o teach_v we_o first_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n saint_n john_n give_v we_o to_o know_v he_o that_o love_v not_o his_o brother_n know_v not_o god_n for_o god_n be_v love_n let_v he_o boast_v what_o he_o will_v that_o he_o love_v god_n if_o he_o love_v not_o his_o brother_n he_o be_v a_o liar_n he_o know_v not_o god_n to_o be_v love_n he_o have_v not_o the_o experimental_a feel_n of_o it_o for_o if_o he_o know_v god_n to_o be_v love_n he_o can_v but_o out_o of_o his_o experimental_a knowledge_n love_v his_o brother_n so_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o man_n love_v not_o god_n that_o love_v not_o his_o brother_n that_o be_v he_o have_v no_o experience_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n we_o may_v allude_v to_o that_o which_o be_v say_v of_o pharaoh_n exod._n 1._o that_o he_o use_v the_o people_n hardly_o the_o reason_n be_v give_v because_o he_o know_v not_o joseph_n for_o there_o be_v another_o pharaoh_n rise_v that_o know_v not_o joseph_n so_o we_o may_v say_v that_o many_o man_n because_o they_o be_v ignorant_a of_o god_n and_o the_o love_n of_o god_n use_v his_o child_n hardly_o they_o be_v scoffer_n and_o mocker_n of_o those_o that_o desire_v to_o love_n god_n certain_o these_o man_n know_v not_o the_o love_n of_o god_n but_o they_o be_v feed_v like_o a_o ox_n to_o the_o slaughter_n saint_n austin_n have_v a_o speech_n to_o this_o purpose_n do_v thou_o hear_v the_o apostle_n say_v god_n be_v love_n and_o dare_v thou_o so_o go_v against_o god_n as_o not_o love_v thy_o brother_n for_o to_o go_v against_o those_o that_o be_v belove_v of_o god_n be_v
to_o go_v against_o god_n for_o not_o to_o love_v they_o in_o god_n and_o for_o god_n be_v to_o deny_v god_n and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o first_o use_n use_v 2._o the_o second_o use_n do_v god_n love_v himself_o do_v he_o love_v his_o son_n and_o his_o spirit_n then_o he_o commend_v his_o love_n to_o we_o he_o make_v his_o love_n wonderful_a and_o admirable_a to_o be_v see_v towards_o we_o because_o he_o have_v give_v his_o son_n yea_o even_o the_o son_n of_o his_o love_n for_o we_o then_o he_o must_v needs_o love_v we_o when_o he_o spare_v not_o his_o own_o son_n but_o give_v he_o to_o death_n for_o we_o if_o he_o have_v have_v many_o son_n it_o have_v be_v somewhat_o to_o have_v give_v one_o hut_n when_o he_o have_v but_o one_o son_n even_o the_o fonne_n of_o his_o delight_n this_o be_v wonderful_a love_n if_o he_o have_v send_v he_o but_o to_o judge_v the_o world_n it_o have_v be_v somewhat_o but_o to_o be_v a_o saviour_n and_o a_o judge_n it_o be_v admirable_a love_n if_o he_o have_v send_v he_o in_o happiness_n and_o glory_n etc._n etc._n but_o when_o he_o empty_v himself_o of_o all_o honour_n and_o glory_n and_o put_v on_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n and_o become_v subject_a to_o death_n even_o to_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n and_o become_v a_o curse_n for_o we_o oh_o then_o how_o do_v this_o commend_v the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o we_o object_n if_o any_o shall_v say_v to_o i_o sir_n it_o shall_v not_o seem_v to_o i_o by_o this_o that_o god_n shall_v love_v we_o because_o that_o he_o give_v we_o his_o son_n be_v it_o likely_a that_o he_o can_v love_v his_o enemy_n that_o love_v not_o his_o son_n god_n do_v not_o love_v his_o son_n for_o if_o he_o have_v he_o will_v not_o have_v give_v he_o to_o death_n for_o we_o and_o if_o he_o love_v not_o his_o son_n he_o bear_v no_o love_n to_o we_o answ_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v he_o love_v his_o son_n even_o in_o this_o that_o he_o give_v he_o a_o saviour_n for_o we_o that_o he_o may_v give_v more_o glory_n to_o his_o son_n because_o he_o die_v for_o we_o may_v have_v a_o people_n purchase_v to_o himself_o by_o his_o blood_n saint_n bernard_n say_v this_o be_v his_o glory_n that_o he_o purchase_v a_o people_n even_o with_o his_o blood_n as_o he_o be_v a_o high_a priest_n he_o have_v no_o people_n before_o but_o that_o he_o may_v have_v people_n he_o die_v etc._n etc._n thus_o the_o apostle_n manifest_v tit._n 2.4_o that_o he_o may_v redeem_v we_o a_o peculiar_a people_n to_o himself_o so_o luke_n 24.26_o thus_o it_o become_v christ_n to_o suffer_v and_o to_o enter_v into_o his_o glory_n and_o now_o to_o end_v this_o point_n what_o be_v his_o glory_n if_o he_o have_v not_o a_o people_n to_o communicate_v it_o too_o for_o the_o conclusion_n this_o show_v the_o great_a love_n of_o god_n therefore_o let_v we_o labour_n to_o fill_v our_o heart_n with_o the_o apprehension_n of_o god_n love_n we_o shall_v then_o think_v nothing_o too_o dear_a for_o he_o it_o be_v say_v to_o abraham_n now_o i_o know_v that_o thou_o love_v i_o because_o thou_o have_v not_o spare_v thy_o only_a son_n etc._n etc._n so_o god_n commend_v his_o love_n to_o we_o in_o that_o he_o have_v not_o spare_v his_o only_a son_n the_o conclusion_n therefore_o be_v that_o we_o shall_v think_v nothing_o too_o dear_a to_o return_v to_o god_n again_o if_o thou_o have_v any_o child_n or_o any_o friend_n or_o sin_n even_o thy_o best_a belove_a sin_n that_o most_o oppose_v god_n and_o thy_o salvation_n so_o shall_v thou_o commend_v thy_o love_n to_o god_n and_o have_v joy_n of_o heart_n and_o god_n will_v love_v thou_o and_o manifest_v his_o love_n to_o thou_o and_o bring_v thou_o to_o glory_n and_o happiness_n use_v 3_o the_o next_o use_v then_o be_v this_o if_o god_n love_v man_n and_o love_v they_o free_o it_o have_v in_o it_o great_a matter_n of_o comfort_n against_o temptation_n when_o a_o man_n do_v only_o judge_v himself_o and_o look_v into_o himself_o and_o see_v himself_o altogether_o unworthy_a of_o love_n and_o whole_o deserve_v hatred_n he_o begin_v to_o say_v with_o himself_o he_o be_v not_o belove_v of_o god_n to_o answer_v this_o objection_n that_o the_o poor_a soul_n make_v upon_o this_o ground_n the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v most_o free_a and_o from_o himself_o the_o cause_n be_v not_o in_o man_n if_o the_o cause_n be_v in_o man_n the_o more_o unworthy_a the_o more_o discomfort_n shall_v any_o man_n say_v that_o the_o fire_n can_v heat_v he_o because_o he_o be_v cold_a or_o the_o sun_n have_v no_o heat_n in_o it_o because_o he_o can_v feel_v it_o this_o have_v no_o ground_n so_o notwithstanding_o man_n unworthiness_n he_o may_v be_v belove_v nay_o the_o rather_o belove_v of_o god_n when_o he_o feel_v his_o unworthiness_n as_o the_o prodigal_a son_n be_v the_o fit_a for_o his_o father_n love_n when_o he_o find_v himself_o unworthy_a in_o like_a manner_n when_o god_n child_n find_v and_o feel_v themselves_o unworthy_a still_o the_o more_o unworthy_a they_o judge_v themselves_o the_o more_o fit_a they_o be_v for_o mercy_n so_o that_o this_o do_v not_o discourage_v a_o man_n but_o rather_o encourage_v he_o in_o the_o assurance_n of_o god_n love_n i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o every_o man_n that_o be_v unworthy_a of_o love_n but_o every_o man_n that_o have_v a_o feel_n of_o his_o own_o unworthiness_n be_v more_o capable_a of_o mercy_n the_o

the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o question_n be_v quest_n what_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n answ_n the_o answer_n be_v it_o be_v a_o communicable_a attribute_n whereby_o god_n love_v himself_o his_o son_n and_o his_o spirit_n and_o then_o his_o creature_n free_o but_o not_o equal_o to_o explain_v these_o point_n we_o give_v love_n to_o god_n as_o other_o attribute_n not_o as_o quality_n not_o as_o accident_n not_o as_o any_o thing_n come_v from_o god_n that_o be_v not_o in_o he_o before_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o god_n that_o be_v not_o in_o god_n love_n be_v give_v to_o god_n as_o void_a of_o all_o imperfection_n or_o error_n it_o be_v a_o rule_n that_o the_o learned_a have_v that_o whatsoever_o attribute_n be_v give_v to_o god_n must_v be_v free_a from_o all_o imperfection_n and_o error_n before_o we_o can_v attribute_n it_o to_o he_o and_o therefore_o love_v as_o it_o be_v a_o attribute_n give_v to_o god_n must_v be_v purge_v from_o all_o imperfection_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n in_o love_n first_o a_o good_a will_n that_o one_o bear_v to_o another_o second_o a_o good_a work_n three_o a_o delight_v in_o that_o which_o be_v love_v these_o thing_n be_v in_o god_n none_o have_v a_o better_a will_n than_o god_n none_o do_v more_o good_a than_o god_n and_o there_o be_v none_o that_o delight_v more_o in_o his_o belove_a than_o god_n himself_o again_o we_o say_v it_o be_v a_o communicable_a attribute_n not_o that_o love_n be_v in_o god_n as_o it_o be_v in_o man_n but_o because_o there_o be_v something_o in_o man_n that_o be_v like_o this_o love_n of_o god_n man_n be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o godly_a nature_n that_o be_v they_o have_v this_o in_o the_o quality_n that_o god_n have_v in_o substance_n and_o therefore_o we_o call_v it_o a_o communicable_a attribute_n in_o the_o next_o place_n we_o say_v it_o be_v that_o whereby_o he_o love_v himself_o his_o son_n and_o his_o spirit_n it_o be_v for_o his_o own_o glory_n that_o he_o love_v himself_o as_o it_o appear_v in_o that_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n be_v a_o jealous_a god_n jealous_a of_o his_o worship_n and_o service_n if_o he_o be_v jealous_a there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o love_n of_o himself_o go_v with_o it_o 2._o commandment_n so_o he_o love_v himself_o and_o he_o love_v
for_o he_o be_v the_o chief_a good_a and_o goodness_n itself_o can_v have_v nothing_o in_o he_o but_o that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o most_o perfect_a in_o man_n mercy_n be_v with_o imperfection_n and_o error_n and_o so_o we_o may_v not_o attribute_v it_o to_o god_n but_o first_o we_o must_v free_v it_o from_o imperfection_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o that_o god_n be_v merciful_a we_o

when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o essence_n and_o property_n when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o person_n attribute_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o divine_a essence_n of_o god_n yet_o they_o be_v call_v

these_o attribute_n be_v of_o two_o sort_n either_o incommunicable_a and_o proper_a to_o god_n and_o not_o communicate_v to_o any_o other_o and_o of_o this_o sort_n be_v his_o simpleness_n eternity_n

but_o they_o be_v the_o like_a therefore_o we_o say_v that_o they_o be_v communicable_a of_o which_o we_o will_v speak_v when_o we_o come_v unto_o they_o and_o so_o much_o shall_v serve_v for_o the_o first_o question_n now_o the_o next_o question_n which_o be_v the_o point_n to_o be_v stand_v upon_o be_v concern_v the_o simpleness_n of_o god_n quest_n what_o be_v the_o simpleness_n of_o this_o divine_a essence_n answ_n it_o be_v a_o incommunicable_a attribute_n whereby_o god_n be_v conceive_v to_o be_v without_o all_o composition_n this_o must_v be_v confirm_v and_o this_o place_n which_o i_o have_v read_v will_v prove_v it_o the_o lord_n the_o lord_n etc._n etc._n wherein_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o he_o be_v jehovah_n of_o himself_o and_o by_o himself_o and_o though_o there_o be_v

give_v to_o god_n in_o the_o scripture_n be_v give_v in_o the_o abstract_n to_o show_v the_o simpleness_n of_o his_o nature_n as_o john_n 8.12_o i_o be_o the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n 1_o john_n 1.5_o god_n be_v light_a not_o a_o thing_n enlighten_v god_n be_v love_n 1_o john_n 4.16_o what_o do_v this_o intimate_v but_o that_o all_o these_o be_v his_o essence_n without_o composition_n every_o thing_n that_o be_v love_v be_v compound_v but_o that_o which_o be_v love_v itself_o be_v simple_a he_o be_v so_o simple_a that_o he_o have_v no_o composition_n no_o not_o so_o much_o as_o of_o

and_o thathe_n be_v such_o it_o be_v clear_a isa_n 43.22_o ay_o even_o i_o forgive_v thy_o sin_n for_o myself_o the_o lord_n when_o he_o forgive_v sin_n he_o forgive_v not_o sin_n for_o the_o merit_n of_o man_n but_o for_o his_o mercy_n sake_n and_o to_o show_v that_o mercy_n and_o goodness_n be_v not_o in_o he_o as_o it_o be_v in_o man_n therefore_o he_o say_v for_o myself_o quest_n what_o ground_n establish_v this_o truth_n answ_n the_o answer_n be_v first_o he_o be_v most_o perfect_a second_o he_o be_v true_o eternal_a three_o he_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o any_o accident_n or_o quality_n to_o explain_v these_o i_o say_v he_o be_v most_o perfect_a then_o most_o simple_a reason_n 1._o because_o every_o thing_n the_o more_o perfect_a it_o be_v the_o more_o simple_a for_o composition_n detract_v from_o perfection_n we_o manifest_v it_o thus_o in_o metal_n the_o more_o simple_a the_o more_o perfect_a therefore_o founder_n do_v use_v their_o art_n to_o separate_v the_o dross_n to_o make_v the_o mettle_n pure_a the_o pure_a it_o be_v from_o other_o metal_n the_o more_o perfect_a so_o all_o liquid_a matter_n as_o in_o wine_n the_o more_o perfect_a the_o more_o free_a from_o lees_n so_o for_o the_o element_n the_o pure_a water_n be_v in_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o sea_n because_o we_o have_v not_o perfect_a thing_n to_o resemble_v god_n by_o we_o use_v imperfect_a this_o show_v we_o that_o god_n be_v of_o a_o simple_a nature_n reason_n 2._o the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o be_v true_o eternal_a and_o therefore_o free_a from_o any_o composition_n we_o say_v true_o eternal_a for_o god_n be_v without_o beginning_n without_o end_v therefore_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v without_o composition_n for_o if_o there_o be_v composition_n in_o god_n two_o thing_n be_v require_v a_o compound_n and_o simples_n whereof_o he_o may_v be_v compound_v but_o neither_o of_o these_o two_o can_v be_v in_o reference_n to_o god_n for_o god_n be_v eternal_a if_o another_o shall_v make_v the_o composition_n god_n shall_v not_o be_v before_o all_o thing_n if_o he_o shall_v compound_v himself_o he_o shall_v be_v before_o himself_o and_o as_o there_o be_v no_o compounder_n so_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n there_o be_v no_o simple_a to_o be_v compound_v because_o that_o god_n give_v be_v to_o every_o simple_a isa_n 43.10_o i_o be_v before_o there_o be_v any_o god_n therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o the_o essence_n be_v without_o composition_n reason_n 3._o because_o there_o be_v no_o accident_n fall_v into_o god_n god_n be_v subject_a to_o no_o accident_n or_o quality_n from_o which_o if_o he_o be_v free_a it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v most_o simple_a for_o when_o we_o affirm_v that_o god_n be_v gracious_a and_o good_a etc._n etc._n when_o we_o speak_v of_o these_o thing_n in_o god_n we_o speak_v of_o they_o not_o as_o they_o be_v virtue_n in_o man_n but_o as_o they_o be_v mere_o his_o essence_n in_o man_n they_o be_v quality_n but_o in_o god_n they_o be_v his_o essence_n those_o in_o man_n may_v be_v change_v but_o in_o god_n they_o can_v s._n bernard_n speak_v of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n break_v forth_o of_o a_o sudden_a and_o say_v let_v no_o man_n think_v when_o i_o speak_v of_o god_n love_n that_o i_o mean_v quality_n in_o god_n for_o when_o i_o say_v god_n be_v love_n i_o mean_v no_o new_a thing_n but_o that_o same_o which_o the_o apostle_n say_v 1._o joh._n 4.16_o god_n be_v love_n now_o then_o there_o be_v a_o double_a love_n there_o be_v love_n give_v love_n there_o be_v love_v

whatsoever_o be_v say_v of_o love_n may_v be_v say_v of_o any_o other_o attribute_n as_o mercy_n justice_n etc._n etc._n this_o teach_v we_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o essence_n though_o there_o be_v three_o person_n if_o thou_o ask_v
that_o i_o be_o and_o it_o can_v only_o be_v say_v of_o he_o that_o he_o be_v i_o be_o reas_n 2._o the_o next_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o be_v the_o creator_n of_o all_o thing_n even_o of_o time_n itself_o and_o whatsoever_o be_v before_o time_n must_v be_v eternal_a if_o god_n make_v time_n he_o must_v needs_o be_v before_o time_n and_o therefore_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v eternal_a for_o whatsoever_o be_v within_o time_n be_v temporal_a and_o momentary_a i_o can_v see_v say_v saint_n austin_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v space_n of_o time_n in_o eternity_n why_o because_o space_n of_o time_n be_v make_v by_o the_o motion_n of_o thing_n past_a and_o to_o come_v i_o can_v see_v any_o such_o thing_n in_o eternity_n for_o there_o nothing_o be_v past_a for_o then_o that_o which_o be_v shall_v cease_v to_o be_v nothing_o to_o come_v for_o than_o that_o shall_v have_v be_v always_o which_o yet_o be_v not_o reas_n 3._o the_o three_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o be_v the_o author_n and_o giver_n of_o eternal_a life_n to_o those_o that_o have_v it_o thence_o it_o appear_v that_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v eternal_a himself_o for_o whatsoever_o can_v give_v eternity_n that_o be_v eternal_a there_o be_v a_o eternity_n that_o have_v a_o beginning_n and_o so_o the_o angel_n and_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v eternal_a but_o that_o be_v such_o a_o eternity_n as_o differ_v from_o the_o eternity_n of_o god_n all_o angel_n and_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n though_o eternal_a be_v in_o themselves_o corruptible_a and_o capable_a of_o a_o end_n but_o by_o the_o power_n and_o goodness_n of_o
