and_o seem_v as_o if_o they_o love_v he_o but_o it_o be_v because_o he_o have_v much_o to_o give_v and_o they_o expect_v much_o they_o love_v he_o as_o he_o be_v merciful_a and_o bountiful_a as_o he_o be_v full_a and_o openhanded_a as_o he_o open_v out_o of_o his_o treasury_n of_o goodness_n deal_v out_o peace_n and_o safety_n give_v forth_o wealth_n and_o friend_n compass_n they_o about_o with_o kindness_n fill_v up_o their_o cup_n till_o it_o run_v over_o but_o they_o go_v no_o far_o in_o kindness_n than_o he_o do_v in_o bounty_n they_o both_o measure_n and_o limit_v their_o love_n by_o his_o goodness_n and_o therefore_o if_o he_o turn_v the_o stream_n of_o mercy_n a_o little_a from_o they_o their_o goodness_n and_o love_n dry_v up_o also_o it_o may_v be_v they_o can_v be_v content_a to_o pray_v and_o hear_v the_o word_n and_o perform_v the_o other_o office_n of_o love_n if_o they_o may_v get_v by_o it_o assemble_v 14._o hos_fw-la 7._o 14._o themselves_o for_o corn_n and_o wine_n as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v but_o this_o be_v to_o do_v duty_n to_o mercy_n to_o pray_v to_o peace_n and_o safety_n to_o love_v not_o he_o but_o he_o and_o so_o the_o most_o do_v with_o god_n as_o man_n do_v with_o those_o that_o be_v great_a than_o themselves_o a_o great_a man_n because_o he_o be_v rich_a and_o powerful_a and_o can_v do_v much_o for_o they_o to_o he_o they_o pretend_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o friendship_n and_o show_v of_o love_n but_o if_o he_o once_o dry_v up_o in_o bounty_n or_o stop_v in_o kindness_n they_o be_v go_v for_o new_a friend_n to_o reap_v new_a kindness_n whereas_o if_o they_o love_v the_o man_n for_o himself_o their_o love_n will_v last_v so_o long_o as_o the_o person_n not_o the_o purse_n or_o power_n only_o remain_v and_o who_o will_v take_v such_o one_o to_o be_v friend_n that_o love_v but_o so_o only_o and_o so_o do_v you_o think_v to_o go_v for_o friend_n when_o you_o come_v for_o nothing_o else_o will_v god_n take_v you_o to_o be_v friend_n to_o he_o when_o your_o love_n be_v only_o spin_v forth_o by_o mercy_n when_o it_o be_v only_o link_v to_o peace_n and_o riches_n or_o the_o like_a when_o your_o friendship_n be_v only_o plant_v and_o root_v and_o grow_v in_o the_o soil_n of_o his_o bounty_n by_o the_o dew_n of_o his_o favour_n and_o be_v not_o build_v upon_o he_o you_o will_v not_o take_v such_o a_o man_n to_o be_v your_o friend_n that_o be_v a_o friend_n to_o your_o chest_n or_o table_n only_o yet_o god_n have_v a_o great_a many_o such_o chest_n such_o table_n friend_n that_o be_v as_o great_a friend_n there_o as_o any_o but_o if_o once_o the_o purse_n be_v shut_v the_o cloth_n draw_v their_o friendship_n be_v take_v away_o also_o whether_o then_o can_v you_o love_v god_n strip_v of_o all_o consideration_n of_o kindness_n so_o that_o you_o will_v not_o break_v with_o he_o though_o he_o draw_v in_o his_o kindness_n but_o keep_v he_o still_o though_o he_o have_v nothing_o to_o give_v no_o heaven_n hereafter_o to_o make_v you_o happy_a nor_o peace_n and_o wealth_n and_o the_o like_a to_o stay_v you_o here_o it_o be_v then_o a_o sign_n you_o be_v his_o friend_n but_o if_o you_o love_v he_o as_o he_o appear_v in_o mercy_n only_o as_o he_o be_v cover_v over_o with_o kindness_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n you_o be_v no_o friend_n of_o he_o he_o that_o be_v a_o friend_n love_v not_o so_o much_o his_o as_o he_o second_o another_o friend_n 2._o sign_n of_o friend_n sign_n of_o friendship_n be_v mutual_a trust_n to_o each_o other_o whether_o then_o will_v you_o trust_v he_o and_o may_v he_o again_o trust_v you_o first_o whether_o will_v you_o trust_v he_o that_o be_v will_v you_o take_v he_o on_o his_o bare_a word_n without_o any_o more_o that_o be_v to_o trust_v a_o man_n when_o thou_o rely_a on_o he_o for_o his_o bare_a promise_n and_o so_o that_o be_v to_o trust_v god_n for_o a_o mercy_n not_o when_o you_o have_v hold_v on_o he_o and_o the_o mercy_n too_o one_o hand_n on_o he_o another_z on_o the_o thing_n but_o when_o you_o lay_v hold_v on_o he_o with_o both_o hand_n that_o his_o promise_n be_v all_o the_o hold_v you_o have_v many_o will_v trust_v he_o when_o they_o have_v security_n trust_v he_o for_o a_o mercy_n deliverance_n health_n or_o life_n when_o they_o have_v a_o pledge_n when_o they_o be_v in_o the_o way_n of_o deliverance_n or_o life_n trust_v to_o the_o staff_n when_o they_o have_v hold_v of_o one_o end_n of_o it_o whereas_o he_o that_o be_v a_o friend_n will_v take_v his_o word_n as_o soon_o as_o his_o bond_n trust_v he_o against_o trust_n against_o hope_n as_o abraham_n because_o he_o be_v a_o friend_n of_o god_n believe_v he_o against_o hope_n for_o a_o son_n even_o then_o when_o in_o nature_n and_o reason_n he_o can_v see_v no_o issue_n to_o trust_v he_o with_o a_o pledge_n be_v no_o more_o than_o a_o enemy_n will_v do_v any_o man_n will_v trust_v so_o only_o a_o friend_n will_v trust_v for_o the_o bare_a relation_n of_o friendship_n again_o whether_o may_v god_n trust_v thou_o he_o that_o be_v a_o friend_n god_n dare_v betrust_v with_o any_o thing_n betrust_v he_o with_o riches_n betrust_v he_o with_o health_n or_o friend_n betrust_v he_o with_o great_a thing_n even_o with_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v all_o his_o stock_n of_o mercy_n and_o betrust_v with_o grace_n also_o because_o he_o will_v give_v all_o or_o the_o revenue_n of_o they_o to_o god_n again_o other_o man_n though_o he_o give_v they_o health_n or_o wealth_n or_o the_o like_a yet_o he_o trust_v they_o not_o with_o they_o as_o look_v for_o they_o again_o and_o therefore_o what_o he_o bestow_v on_o they_o it_o be_v give_v as_o a_o exercise_n of_o his_o bounty_n and_o not_o any_o exercise_n of_o their_o trust_n and_o fidelity_n which_o be_v therefore_o some_o small_a matter_n that_o he_o give_v as_o these_o outward_a thing_n which_o he_o look_v not_o for_o again_o even_o as_o we_o deal_v with_o man_n that_o have_v oft_o deceive_v we_o or_o be_v poor_a and_o needy_a if_o they_o come_v to_o borrow_v we_o lend_v they_o not_o any_o thing_n we_o look_v to_o have_v again_o because_o we_o dare_v not_o trust_v they_o but_o it_o may_v be_v we_o give_v they_o something_o out_o of_o our_o bounty_n for_o their_o need_n so_o much_o for_o this_o three_o sign_n the_o next_o be_v whether_o be_v thou_o sign_n 4_o espouse_v to_o christ_n or_o not_o if_o thou_o be_v espouse_v to_o he_o than_o first_o thou_o like_v he_o and_o love_v he_o better_o than_o any_o other_o as_o a_o love_a wife_n if_o you_o ask_v she_o how_o she_o like_v her_o husband_n she_o will_v answer_v i_o care_v not_o what_o other_o do_v how_o they_o like_v he_o for_o my_o part_n i_o like_v he_o better_o than_o any_o other_o so_o the_o spouse_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o canticle_n 9_o cant._n 5._o 9_o when_o she_o be_v ask_v how_o she_o like_v christ_n what_o her_o belove_a be_v better_a than_o other_o belove_n say_v she_o he_o be_v the_o chief_a of_o ten_o 10._o verse_n 10._o thousand_o that_o be_v let_v other_o say_v what_o they_o will_v like_a or_o dislike_v she_o like_v he_o better_o than_o any_o in_o the_o world_n beside_o for_o he_o be_v white_a and_o ruddy_a 10._o verse_n 10._o that_o be_v he_o be_v perfect_o beautiful_a for_o colour_n and_o so_o she_o describe_v he_o throughout_o sum_v up_o all_o in_o the_o 16._o verse_n that_o he_o be_v altogether_o lovely_a 16._o verse_n 16._o that_o be_v there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v see_v in_o he_o that_o be_v any_o deformity_n to_o hinder_v like_v or_o love_n but_o he_o be_v most_o comely_a other_o man_n as_o the_o prophet_n esay_n say_v though_o in_o another_o case_n see_v no_o form_n or_o comeliness_n in_o he_o but_o he_o be_v unto_o they_o as_o a_o blackmoore_n that_o have_v nothing_o sightly_o all_o his_o grace_n and_o holiness_n be_v unto_o they_o but_o as_o so_o much_o blackness_n though_o it_o be_v his_o perfect_a beauty_n and_o therefore_o let_v he_o come_v never_o so_o often_o a_o woo_n to_o they_o in_o his_o word_n and_o
