upon_o admonition_n from_o friend_n and_o the_o devil_n also_o more_o powerful_o upon_o the_o same_o occasion_n than_o at_o other_o time_n a_o good_a man_n can_v habitual_o hate_v the_o reprover_n

like_o god_n in_o disposition_n and_o therefore_o can_v love_v any_o thing_n which_o he_o hate_v who_o hatred_n and_o love_n be_v always_o just_a be_v unerring_a rule_n to_o the_o love_n and_o

because_o there_o may_v be_v a_o love_n of_o a_o act_n of_o sin_n where_o there_o be_v not_o a_o constant_a course_n in_o it_o as_o a_o man_n that_o have_v commit_v a_o murder_n out_o of_o revenge_n may_v love_v afterward_o the_o very_a thought_n of_o that_o revenge_n though_o he_o never_o murder_v any_o more_o and_o a_o man_n that_o have_v commit_v a_o act_n of_o adultery_n may_v review_v it_o with_o pleasure_n though_o he_o never_o commit_v a_o act_n again_o but_o a_o good_a man_n can_v david_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v incline_v to_o the_o way_n of_o lie_v and_o dissemble_v though_o he_o may_v falter_v sometime_o and_o look_v that_o way_n and_o perhaps_o fall_v into_o it_o yet_o never_o into_o a_o love_n of_o it_o therefore_o observe_v psal_n 119.163_o i_o hate_v and_o abhor_v lie_v

with_o a_o love_n to_o or_o allowance_n either_o of_o the_o habit_n or_o any_o one_o act_n of_o lie_v a_o good_a man_n have_v yield_v his_o soul_n up_o to_o the_o government_n of_o christ_n his_o

and_o deceive_v by_o satan_n he_o walk_v not_o by_o the_o inveiglement_n of_o sense_n but_o by_o the_o unerring_a rule_n of_o faith_n so_o that_o though_o by_o some_o mist_n before_o his_o eye_n he_o

to_o it_o in_o the_o very_a act_n than_o another_o who_o act_v that_o sin_n more_o calm_o because_o it_o may_v arise_v not_o from_o any_o particular_a inclination_n he_o have_v in_o his_o temper_n
