be_v draw_v to_o love_n god_n again_o and_o so_o there_o be_v not_o any_o people_n in_o the_o fall_n that_o first_o love_v god_n until_o he_o have_v manifest_v his_o love_n unto_o they_o by_o jesus_n christ_n which_o love_n be_v certain_o manifest_v through_o christ_n unto_o all_o people_n which_o love_n be_v receive_v it_o draw_v to_o its_o self_n and_o begete_v a_o love_n to_o itself_o whereby_o man_n come_v to_o love_n god_n not_o that_o he_o love_v god_n first_o but_o that_o god_n first_o love_v he_o and_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v son_n for_o he_o and_o through_o his_o own_o love_n manifest_v in_o christ_n jesus_n he_o beget_v man_n to_o love_v he_o again_o and_o as_o man_n receive_v christ_n jesus_n in_o the_o reproof_n he_o receive_v the_o love_n of_o god_n for_o if_o man_n do_v not_o join_v unto_o christ_n when_o he_o reprove_v he_o and_o close_o with_o the_o tender_a of_o love_n in_o that_o dispensation_n he_o be_v a_o opposer_n and_o a_o rejecter_n of_o christ_n in_o who_o the_o father_n love_n be_v make_v manifest_a and_o so_o will_v not_o come_v to_o christ_n to_o receive_v the_o love_n and_o the_o life_n that_o be_v in_o he_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o so_o many_o be_v destitute_a of_o god_n &_o christ_n and_o want_v the_o salvation_n and_o the_o peace_n and_o the_o virtue_n of_o love_n because_o they_o be_v more_o in_o love_n with_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v reprove_v than_o with_o that_o which_o do_v reprove_v and_o though_o christ_n do_v come_v to_o do_v the_o father_n will_n and_o tender_a the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n in_o himself_o yet_o many_o do_v reject_v he_o and_o outstand_v he_o and_o prove_v rebellious_a against_o he_o and_o though_o he_o wait_v to_o show_v mercy_n and_o from_o time_n to_o time_n do_v manifest_v his_o kindness_n in_o tender_v yet_o there_o be_v not_o a_o readiness_n of_o receive_v but_o rather_o of_o despise_v and_o contemn_v and_o here_o he_o come_v to_o many_o but_o they_o receive_v he_o not_o and_o here_o he_o woo_v many_o but_o they_o will_v not_o come_v unto_o he_o that_o they_o may_v have_v life_n in_o he_o so_o do_v many_o turn_v their_o back_n upon_o he_o and_o with_o their_o rebellious_a nature_n grieve_v he_o and_o cause_v he_o to_o draw_v his_o love_n into_o his_o own_o bosom_n and_o so_o they_o lie_v destitute_a of_o love_n though_o in_o itself_o it_o be_v large_a and_o full_a and_o in_o its_o manifestation_n universal_a and_o such_o be_v miserable_a and_o wretched_a who_o reject_v the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o be_v tender_v in_o christ_n jesus_n but_o to_o as_o many_o as_o do_v receive_v he_o to_o they_o he_o give_v power_n to_o become_v the_o son_n of_o god_n even_o to_o as_o many_o as_o believe_v in_o his_o name_n which_o be_v bear_v not_o of_o flesh_n nor_o of_o blood_n nor_o of_o the_o will_n of_o man_n but_o of_o god_n mark_n they_o that_o receive_v christ_n jesus_n they_o come_v to_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o christ_n give_v they_o power_n to_o become_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o this_o be_v a_o state_n beyond_o the_o birth_n of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n and_o the_o will_n of_o man_n for_o that_o birth_n hate_v the_o light_n and_o love_v darkness_n rather_o and_o will_v not_o come_v to_o the_o light_n leave_v the_o light_n shall_v reprove_v its_o deed_n but_o they_o that_o love_v the_o light_n they_o bring_v their_o

of_o the_o love_n and_o the_o love_n be_v the_o babe_n consolation_n for_o the_o babe_n bring_v new_o bear_v in_o the_o love_n it_o be_v bring_v forth_o a_o little_a child_n fill_v with_o innocency_n

all_o that_o have_v receive_v christ_n they_o have_v receive_v the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o in_o that_o love_n they_o love_v god_n again_o and_o be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o know_v god_n for_o every_o one_o that_o love_v be_v bear_v of_o god_n and_o know_v god_n and_o there_o be_v the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o of_o his_o love_n by_o jesus_n christ_n and_o they_o that_o do_v not_o thus_o know_v god_n they_o have_v not_o yet_o receive_v jesus_n christ_n his_o son_n and_o so_o neither_o know_v the_o father_n nor_o the_o son_n with_o a_o true_a knowledge_n neither_o do_v
