appetite_n and_o rational_a and_o affection_n be_v place_v both_o in_o the_o sensual_a as_o we_o love_v fear_v or_o desire_v object_n expose_v to_o sense_n and_o in_o the_o rational_a as_o we_o love_v fear_v or_o desire_v the_o object_n which_o reason_n apprehend_v now_o to_o draw_v this_o general_a division_n into_o two_o main_a head_n nature_n have_v plant_v a_o appetite_n in_o the_o creature_n to_o draw_v to_o its_o self_n that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o to_o cast_v away_o that_o which_o be_v evil_a therefore_o be_v these_o affection_n such_o as_o apprehend_v either_o good_a or_o evil_n to_o keep_v the_o one_o and_o to_o expel_v the_o other_o those_o that_o apprehend_v good_a if_o they_o see_v it_o and_o apprehend_v it_o they_o love_v and_o desire_v it_o and_o love_n desire_v to_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o thing_n love_v and_o a_o desire_n be_v a_o make_n towards_o the_o thing_n absent_a when_o the_o thing_n be_v present_a we_o joy_v in_o it_o when_o it_o be_v come_v towards_o we_o and_o there_o be_v a_o probability_n to_o have_v it_o then_o come_v hope_n in_o if_o we_o be_v like_a to_o miss_v of_o it_o then_o come_v fear_n if_o no_o probability_n of_o attain_v then_o come_v in_o despair_n if_o there_o be_v any_o impediment_n against_o reason_n and_o right_n than_o we_o be_v angry_a at_o it_o and_o this_o anger_n be_v a_o earnest_a desire_n to_o remove_v the_o impediment_n otherwise_o if_o we_o see_v reason_n and_o justice_n to_o the_o contrary_a than_o we_o be_v not_o proper_o angry_a these_o be_v the_o affection_n that_o be_v about_o good_a and_o these_o be_v the_o first_o kind_n of_o affection_n the_o 2._o sort_n of_o affection_n be_v those_o that_o be_v about_o evil_n as_o in_o the_o former_a there_o be_v love_n of_o god_n so_o here_o to_o turn_v away_o from_o evil_a be_v hatred_n if_o evil_a be_v come_v and_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o resist_v it_o we_o fear_v if_o we_o be_v able_a to_o overcome_v it_o then_o be_v we_o bold_a and_o confident_a if_o we_o be_v not_o able_a either_o to_o overcome_v or_o resist_v the_o evil_a we_o fly_v from_o it_o if_o it_o be_v unavoidable_o present_a we_o grieve_v at_o it_o but_o to_o handle_v they_o more_o several_o and_o so_o to_o know_v they_o as_o they_o have_v reference_n to_o good_a or_o evil_n for_o except_o we_o know_v they_o thus_o it_o be_v worth_a nothing_o to_o we_o there_o be_v therefore_o three_o sort_n of_o affection_n natural_a affection_n carnal_a and_o spiritual_a first_o natural_a these_o affection_n arise_v from_o nature_n and_o tend_v to_o natural_a object_n as_o for_o example_n to_o desire_v meat_n and_o drink_n be_v natural_a but_o to_o desire_v it_o in_o excess_n be_v not_o natural_a because_o the_o object_n of_o natural_a affection_n be_v limit_v by_o nature_n namely_o so_o much_o and_o no_o more_o nature_n have_v certain_a measure_n and_o extent_n and_o limit_n and_o those_o she_o exceed_v not_o natural_a affection_n make_v we_o but_o even_o with_o beast_n second_o there_o be_v carnal_a affection_n which_o be_v lust_n that_o arise_v from_o the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n and_o those_o tend_v to_o evil_a object_n or_o good_a object_n in_o a_o evil_a manner_n those_o affection_n make_v we_o worse_o than_o the_o beast_n like_v unto_o the_o devil_n joh._n 8._o 44._o you_o be_v of_o your_o father_n the_o devil_n and_o his_o lust_n you_o will_v do_v that_o be_v those_o that_o have_v these_o lust_n be_v as_o like_o the_o devil_n as_o the_o son_n be_v like_o the_o father_n those_o that_o be_v bind_v with_o these_o bond_n be_v like_o he_o that_o be_v they_o come_v in_o a_o degree_n to_o the_o corruption_n the_o devil_n have_v in_o a_o great_a degree_n three_o spiritual_a affection_n be_v such_o as_o arise_v from_o the_o spirit_n that_o be_v from_o the_o renew_n part_n of_o man_n and_o tend_v to_o good_a object_n in_o a_o holy_a manner_n natural_a make_v we_o no_o better_o than_o beast_n carnal_a than_o devil_n spiritual_a make_v we_o better_o than_o man_n like_v to_o god_n have_v his_o image_n new_o stamp_v on_o we_o they_o lift_v we_o up_o above_o man_n and_o make_v we_o like_a to_o angel_n thus_o you_o see_v the_o 3._o kind_n of_o affection_n in_o man_n we_o must_v only_o answer_v one_o question_n before_o we_o go_v any_o further_o the_o question_n be_v this_o whether_o there_o be_v no_o spiritual_a affection_n except_o they_o proceed_v from_o a_o general_a disposition_n because_o many_o man_n seem_v to_o have_v good_a flash_n now_o and_o then_o and_o so_o seem_v to_o be_v regenerate_v i_o answer_v no_o they_o be_v not_o spiritual_a regenerate_v affection_n because_o these_o affection_n in_o the_o soul_n howsoever_o they_o be_v good_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o author_n the_o holy_a ghost_n that_o put_v they_o in_o be_v not_o so_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o subject_n man_n who_o be_v yet_o in_o corruption_n and_o not_o renew_v if_o a_o man_n have_v never_o so_o much_o skill_n in_o music_n if_o the_o instrument_n be_v out_o of_o tune_n the_o music_n can_v be_v good_a so_o the_o affection_n as_o the_o spirit_n suggestion_n be_v good_a but_o in_o a_o carnal_a man_n they_o be_v as_o in_o a_o instrument_n out_o of_o tune_n it_o be_v true_a that_o those_o flash_n make_v way_n to_o conversion_n but_o only_o when_o the_o heart_n be_v in_o tune_n and_o in_o a_o good_a frame_n then_o be_v the_o affection_n good_a that_o be_v then_o only_o effective_o good_a so_o as_o to_o make_v the_o heart_n good_a and_o then_o the_o fruit_n will_v be_v good_a such_o as_o god_n will_v accept_v so_o much_o to_o show_v what_o affection_n be_v now_o we_o be_v to_o show_v when_o they_o be_v inordinate_a but_o first_o know_v the_o affection_n be_v place_v in_o the_o soul_n for_o inordinate_a the_o safeguard_n of_o it_o that_o be_v to_o give_v the_o watchword_n that_o we_o may_v repel_v evil_a when_o it_o be_v come_v those_o that_o be_v about_o good_a to_o open_v the_o door_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o let_v it_o in_o and_o to_o make_v out_o for_o it_o if_o it_o be_v want_v as_o guide_n that_o be_v for_o the_o service_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o put_v we_o on_o to_o work_v and_o to_o be_v more_o earnest_n in_o our_o action_n they_o bring_v aptness_n and_o diligence_n in_o do_v when_o they_o miss_v these_o end_n than_o they_o hinder_v we_o in_o stead_n of_o profit_v we_o hurt_v we_o in_o stead_n of_o help_v we_o carry_v we_o to_o evil_a object_n in_o stead_n of_o good_a than_o they_o be_v inordinate_a either_o in_o the_o manner_n or_o the_o end_n this_o premise_a now_o that_o we_o may_v further_o know_v they_o when_o they_o be_v inordinate_a observe_v these_o 2._o thing_n first_o examine_v they_o by_o the_o rule_n which_o be_v the_o main_a way_n of_o trial_n if_o they_o go_v beside_o the_o rule_n they_o be_v inordinate_a the_o first_o rule_n be_v that_o the_o object_n must_v be_v good_a 1._o else_o the_o affection_n be_v inordinate_a there_o must_v be_v love_n of_o god_n sorrow_n for_o sin_n delight_n in_o god_n than_o it_o be_v good_a but_o on_o the_o contrary_a to_o disgrace_v holiness_n to_o condemn_v excellency_n in_o other_o to_o hate_v that_o we_o shall_v cleave_v to_o abominate_a the_o good_a we_o shall_v embrace_v these_o affection_n be_v naught_o the_o second_o rule_n be_v the_o end_n examine_v if_o they_o take_v 2._o their_o rise_n amiss_o though_o the_o object_n be_v good_a yet_o if_o the_o manner_n be_v naught_o they_o be_v inordinate_a now_o the_o manner_n be_v naught_o when_o the_o end_n be_v naught_o as_o for_o example_n many_o man_n desire_v and_o seek_v for_o excellency_n of_o part_n but_o to_o what_o end_n why_o for_o vain_a glory_n not_o to_o do_v god_n service_n this_o be_v for_o a_o wrong_a end_n so_o zeal_n be_v a_o excellent_a affection_n none_o better_a but_o if_o the_o end_n be_v nought_o the_o affection_n can_v be_v good_a jehu_n be_v zealous_a but_o he_o altogether_o respect_v himself_o the_o three_o rule_n

the_o object_n good_a yet_o he_o fail_v in_o the_o measure_n moses_n anger_n be_v good_a yet_o when_o he_o cast_v the_o table_n out_o of_o his_o hand_n it_o be_v a_o excess_n and_o defective_a because_o exceed_v though_o excellent_a and_o commendable_a in_o another_o kind_n the_o four_o rule_n be_v though_o the_o object_n be_v right_a 4._o the_o end_n right_a the_o measure_n right_a yet_o if_o the_o affection_n be_v not_o in_o order_n and_o season_n that_o be_v if_o it_o take_v its_o wrong_a place_n &_o thrust_v into_o the_o room_n of_o another_o it_o be_v a_o

all_o these_o thou_o shall_v be_v more_o than_o a_o conqueror_n and_o have_v a_o crown_n of_o glory_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v second_o the_o world_n tell_v thou_o that_o if_o thou_o will_v not_o be_v earthly_a mind_v thou_o shall_v lose_v thy_o wealth_n &_o riches_n thy_o honour_n and_o thy_o credit_n nay_o thy_o life_n also_o but_o faith_n tell_v thou_o that_o if_o thou_o be_v earthly_a mind_v thou_o shall_v lose_v thy_o spiritual_a life_n and_o riches_n and_o shall_v be_v poor_a in_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o spirit_n thou_o shall_v lose_v honour_n and_o credit_n with_o god_n and_o his_o child_n nay_o thou_o shall_v lose_v eternal_a life_n thus_o faith_n overcome_v our_o inordinate_a affection_n to_o the_o world_n and_o make_v we_o heavenly_a mind_v the_o second_o mean_n if_o you_o will_v get_v heavenly_a mindedness_n humility_n be_v this_o you_o must_v labour_v for_o humility_n this_o be_v that_o which_o the_o apostle_n james_n exhort_v we_o unto_o jam._n 4._o 8._o cleanse_v your_o hand_n you_o sinner_n and_o purisie_n your_o heart_n you_o 8._o double_v mind_v and_o then_o humble_a yourselves_o cast_v yourselves_o down_o and_o the_o lord_n will_v raise_v you_o up_o where_o we_o may_v note_v that_o before_o our_o heart_n &_o hand_n can_v be_v cleanse_v we_o must_v be_v cast_v down_o this_o we_o may_v see_v in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o sour_a luk._n 8._o 8._o two_o of_o the_o sort_n of_o ground_n be_v not_o fit_a to_o receive_v seed_n because_o they_o be_v not_o humble_v and_o therefore_o the_o word_n have_v not_o that_o effect_n in_o they_o as_o it_o have_v in_o those_o that_o be_v humble_v plough_v and_o have_v the_o clod_n break_v it_o be_v with_o a_o humble_a soul_n as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o hungry_a simile_n and_o thirsty_a man_n tell_v he_o of_o gold_n and_o silver_n he_o care_v not_o for_o it_o only_o give_v he_o meat_n and_o drink_n for_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n he_o most_o desire_n and_o stand_v most_o in_o need_n of_o or_o like_o a_o condemn_a man_n tell_v he_o of_o land_n and_o possession_n he_o regard_v they_o nothing_o at_o all_o for_o nothing_o will_v satisfy_v he_o but_o a_o pardon_n so_o it_o be_v with_o a_o christian_a that_o be_v humble_v and_o cast_v down_o under_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o wrarh_n of_o god_n for_o sin_n tell_v he_o of_o any_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n in_o the_o most_o learned_a and_o excellent_a manner_n that_o possible_o you_o can_v yet_o nothing_o will_v satisfy_v he_o but_o the_o love_n and_o favour_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n he_o can_v relish_v nothing_o but_o heavenly_a thing_n nothing_o will_v quench_v his_o thirst_n but_o the_o impute_a righteousness_n of_o christ._n thus_o you_o see_v that_o humility_n be_v a_o excellent_a mean_n unto_o heavenly_a mindedness_n the_o three_o mean_n if_o you_o will_v get_v heavenly_a mindedness_n be_v this_o thou_o must_v labour_v to_o get_v thy_o judgement_n thing_n right_o inform_v especial_o concern_v earthly_a thing_n the_o reason_n wherefore_o man_n be_v so_o besot_v with_o the_o world_n be_v because_o they_o do_v not_o conceive_v of_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n so_o as_o indeed_o they_o be_v they_o think_v better_o of_o they_o then_o they_o deserve_v and_o look_v for_o that_o from_o they_o which_o they_o can_v afford_v they_o therefore_o hear_v what_o the_o preacher_n say_v of_o they_o solomon_n 14._o say_v that_o they_o be_v vanity_n and_o vexation_n of_o spirit_n yea_o he_o call_v all_o vanity_n and_o in_o another_o place_n he_o compare_v they_o to_o thing_n that_o be_v most_o variable_a and_o most_o uncertain_a as_o to_o grass_n that_o wither_v to_o a_o shadow_n that_o be_v sudden_o go_v this_o be_v the_o esteem_n that_o the_o wiseman_n have_v of_o earthly_a thing_n and_o thereby_o we_o may_v see_v that_o they_o be_v not_o true_o good_a because_o they_o be_v uncertain_a thing_n and_o promise_v that_o which_o they_o can_v perform_v unto_o we_o for_o at_o the_o best_a they_o be_v but_o thing_n wherein_o as_o through_o a_o crevice_n we_o have_v a_o small_a glimpse_n of_o the_o true_a good_a yet_o they_o themselves_o be_v not_o overgood_a because_o they_o be_v not_o the_o cause_n whereby_o the_o chief_a good_a be_v produce_v neither_o be_v we_o able_a to_o keep_v they_o for_o at_o such_o or_o such_o a_o time_n they_o will_v be_v go_v so_o that_o they_o be_v neither_o true_a good_a nor_o our_o good_a and_o therefore_o this_o shall_v wean_v we_o and_o our_o heart_n from_o they_o but_o let_v we_o strive_v to_o set_v our_o affection_n on_o thing_n that_o be_v durable_a good_a and_o substantial_a good_a which_o will_v not_o deceive_v we_o and_o will_v promise_v we_o nothing_o but_o that_o which_o it_o will_v perform_v far_o beyond_o our_o desert_n therefore_o labour_n for_o a_o right_n inform_v judgement_n the_o four_o mean_n if_o you_o will_v get_v heavenly_a mindedness_n 4_o be_v this_o labour_v to_o get_v a_o sight_n into_o the_o all-sufficiency_n of_o

thing_n of_o this_o life_n be_v at_o the_o best_a but_o particular_a good_a as_o health_n be_v a_o particular_a good_a against_o sickness_n wealth_n and_o riches_n a_o particular_a good_a against_o poverty_n honour_n and_o credit_v a_o particular_a good_a against_o disgrace_n but_o god_n be_v a_o general_a good_a and_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n other_o thing_n be_v but_o create_v like_o cistern_n that_o good_a they_o have_v be_v put_v in_o they_o therefore_o the_o lord_n complain_v of_o the_o people_n jer._n 2._o 13._o they_o 13._o have_v forsake_v i_o the_o fountain_n of_o live_a water_n and_o have_v dig_v to_o themselves_o cistern_n that_o will_v hold_v no_o water_n that_o be_v they_o have_v forsake_v god_n the_o fountain_n of_o all_o good_a and_o have_v choose_v unto_o themselves_o the_o creature_n that_o have_v no_o more_o good_a than_o that_o which_o come_v from_o god_n the_o fountain_n as_o a_o man_n that_o forsake_v a_o fountain_n that_o continual_o run_v

man_n set_v their_o heart_n on_o earthly_a thing_n they_o forsake_v god_n who_o be_v all-sufficient_a for_o they_o and_o seek_v to_o his_o creature_n which_o be_v insufficient_a and_o unable_a to_o
