A09984	Mount Ebal, or A heavenly treatise of divine love Shewing the equity and necessity of his being accursed that loves not the Lord Iesus Christ.

final_o three_o seek_v and_o endeavour_v the_o protection_n and_o preservation_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o love_v as_o it_o on_o the_o other_o side_n shun_v and_o avoid_v aught_o that_o may_v endanger_v the_o destruction_n thereof_o and_o if_o notwithstanding_o it_o meet_v with_o it_o interpose_v itself_o betwixt_o it_o and_o that_o to_o defend_v it_o as_o the_o arm_n ward_v the_o blow_n from_o the_o head_n albeit_o it_o be_v to_o the_o wound_n of_o itself_o and_o when_o these_o three_o concur_v together_o when_o our_o love_n have_v these_o three_o concommitant_n and_o be_v attend_v with_o these_o fruit_n and_o effect_n as_o you_o hear_v before_o that_o it_o thus_o desire_v the_o fruition_n conjunction_n preservation_n of_o christ._n then_o may_v we_o distinguish_v it_o from_o all_o sensual_a and_o carnal_a love_n for_o there_o be_v many_o sort_n of_o love_n in_o the_o world_n but_o it_o be_v all_o but_o worldly_a love_n not_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a love_n first_o there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o pity_n as_o when_o we_o bewail_v a_o man_n case_n but_o hate_v his_o deed_n so_o be_v malefactor_n belove_v second_o there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o desire_n as_o when_o the_o stomach_n desire_v sweet_a meat_n the_o ear_n delightsome_a sound_n and_o the_o eye_n fine_a sight_n etc._n etc._n three_o there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o complusment_n when_o one_o lust_n or_o belong_v after_o a_o thing_n with_o the_o whole_a heart_n or_o soul_n so_o as_o he_o can_v subsist_v without_o it_o as_o a_o woman_n with_o child_n lust_v and_o long_v after_o a_o thing_n she_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o which_o she_o can_v fafe_o go_v without_o four_o there_o be_v love_n of_o friendship_n when_o one_o man_n love_v another_o for_o some_o courtesy_n or_o kindness_n he_o have_v receive_v from_o he_o five_o and_o last_o there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o dependence_n when_o a_o man_n love_v god_n more_o than_o himself_o more_o than_o his_o life_n and_o depend_v upon_o he_o for_o all_o good_a thing_n belong_v to_o body_n or_o soul_n or_o to_o be_v more_o brief_a there_o be_v a_o natural_a sinful_a spiritual_a love_n 23._o the_o first_o be_v betwixt_o parent_n and_o child_n and_o in_o itself_o be_v neither_o good_a nor_o evil_a 13._o the_o second_o arise_v from_o evil_a habit_n breed_v in_o the_o soul_n and_o it_o be_v most_o hateful_a to_o god_n and_o make_v we_o worse_o than_o the_o brute_n beast_n the_o three_o be_v that_o divine_a gift_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n put_v into_o our_o heart_n whereby_o we_o be_v more_o than_o man_n and_o desire_v holy_a thing_n for_o themselves_o and_o this_o be_v that_o love_n which_o the_o apostle_n here_o call_v for_o in_o this_o place_n now_o if_o our_o love_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v such_o we_o shall_v further_o know_v it_o by_o these_o two_o thing_n which_o always_o proceed_v and_o go_v before_o it_o as_o the_o former_a follow_v after_o it_o viz._n humiliation_n for_o sin_n past_a and_o faith_n in_o christ_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v first_o humiliation_n for_o sin_n past_a doct._n for_o till_o a_o man_n come_v to_o have_v a_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o himself_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o sin_n he_o will_v never_o care_v for_o christ_n and_o when_o he_o have_v be_v thus_o cast_v down_o yet_o second_o without_o faith_n in_o christ_n whereby_o he_o apply_v he_o to_o himself_o and_o be_v persuade_v that_o he_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o he_o will_v not_o yet_o love_v he_o but_o rather_o hate_v he_o of_o the_o twain_o now_o the_o manner_n or_o mean_n of_o get_v of_o both_o these_o and_o so_o consequent_o of_o love_n into_o our_o heart_n be_v by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n by_o prayer_n and_o take_v he_o when_o he_o be_v offer_v and_o give_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o same_o for_o that_o end_n but_o now_o we_o must_v take_v christ_n as_o a_o husband_n take_v a_o wife_n or_o a_o wife_n a_o husband_n out_o of_o love_n to_o their_o person_n not_o to_o their_o portion_n and_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v the_o better_a subject_n unto_o he_o but_o except_o we_o be_v first_o humble_v as_o be_v before_o say_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o consider_v in_o what_o need_n thou_o stand_v of_o he_o how_o that_o without_o he_o thou_o must_v perish_v till_o then_o i_o say_v thou_o can_v not_o sufficient_o set_v by_o he_o nor_o love_v he_o aright_o but_o when_o thou_o know_v how_o necessary_a he_o be_v for_o thou_o how_o alsufficient_a and_o affectionate_a he_o be_v towards_o thou_o than_o thou_o begin_v to_o look_v at_o christ_n as_o a_o condemn_a person_n do_v at_o he_o that_o bring_v a_o pardon_n for_o he_o who_o he_o love_v and_o belong_v after_o joy_n and_o rejoice_v in_o and_o yet_o all_o this_o be_v but_o a_o preparative_n to_o our_o love_n of_o he_o it_o be_v faith_n that_o be_v the_o first_o fountain_n whereby_o we_o so_o love_v he_o as_o that_o we_o can_v cleave_v unto_o he_o with_o purpose_n of_o heart_n to_o serve_v and_o please_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o this_o love_n which_o thus_o arise_v from_o faith_n do_v not_o only_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v merciful_a and_o will_v forgive_v thou_o thy_o sin_n upon_o thy_o supplication_n and_o repentance_n unto_o he_o for_o the_o same_o but_o also_o that_o he_o be_v most_o fit_a and_o conformable_a for_o thou_o so_o that_o thou_o can_v find_v in_o thy_o heart_n to_o be_v anathaematize_v for_o his_o sake_n and_o to_o be_v divorce_v from_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n for_o love_n of_o he_o and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o second_o thing_n also_o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o last_o to_o wit_n three_o to_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v have_v in_o execration_n and_o to_o be_v curse_v even_o to_o the_o death_n that_o love_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o they_o be_v chief_o these_o five_o first_o reas._n because_o when_o christ_n shall_v come_v and_o be_v a_o suitor_n unto_o we_o to_o love_v he_o and_o we_o refuse_v to_o do_v it_o and_o to_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o and_o receive_v he_o than_o he_o grow_v angry_a to_o the_o death_n you_o may_v see_v this_o in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o marriage_n of_o the_o king_n son_n how_o wroth_a he_o be_v when_o he_o hear_v they_o have_v abuse_v and_o beat_v his_o servant_n which_o he_o send_v to_o call_v they_o to_o the_o 2._o wedding_n and_o therefore_o the_o prophet_n david_n bid_v we_o kiss_v the_o son_n lest_o he_o be_v angry_a 12._o and_o so_o etc._n etc._n that_o be_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v when_o he_o offer_v himself_o to_o kiss_v you_o with_o the_o kiss_n of_o his_o mouth_n be_v not_o too_o coy_a and_o curious_a but_o embrace_v his_o offer_n return_v his_o courtesy_n with_o the_o like_a kindness_n and_o kiss_v he_o again_o lest_o he_o take_v it_o in_o great_a indignation_n at_o your_o hand_n and_o be_v so_o angry_a with_o you_o that_o you_o die_v for_o it_o indeed_o when_o we_o know_v not_o the_o gospel_n he_o be_v content_a though_o we_o be_v froward_a and_o fruitless_a but_o now_o that_o he_o send_v his_o desciple_n to_o preach_v unto_o all_o nation_n then_o if_o they_o bring_v not_o forth_o fruit_n worthy_a amendment_n of_o life_n he_o tell_v they_o the_o axe_n be_v lay_v unto_o the_o root_n etc._n etc._n second_o because_o he_o that_o in_o old_a time_n break_v the_o law_n be_v accurse_v now_o this_o be_v the_o lord_n commandment_n 37._o that_o we_o love_v he_o but_o you_o will_v say_v we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o ourselves_o object_n and_o how_o then_o shall_v we_o do_v it_o i_o answer_v sol._n there_o be_v a_o twofold_a obedience_n legal_a and_o evangelicall_n that_o require_v exact_a obedience_n in_o our_o own_o person_n but_o this_o require_v no_o more_o but_o only_o our_o endeavour_n and_o faith_n in_o christ._n three_o because_o he_o love_v something_o else_o more_o than_o god_n and_o so_o commit_v adultery_n now_o she_o that_o in_o the_o old_a law_n do_v commit_v adultery_n have_v a_o drink_n of_o bitter_a water_n give_v she_o which_o make_v her_o belly_n swell_v etc._n etc._n 15._o so_o that_o she_o die_v how_o much_o more_o worthy_a of_o death_n be_v he_o then_o that_o thus_o deal_v with_o god_n and_o go_v a_o whore_v after_o it_o commit_v spiritual_a fornication_n four_o because_o that_o common_o belong_v to_o hypocrite_n they_o be_v a_o curse_a crew_n to_o who_o christ_n shall_v say_v at_o the_o last_o day_n go_v you_o curse_v etc._n etc._n now_o all_o such_o as_o love_v he_o not_o be_v no_o better_a nor_o worse_o but_o wretched_a and_o damnable_a hypocrite_n five_o because_o love_n govern_v the_o whole_a man_n it_o be_v as_o the_o rudder_n of_o a_o ship_n which_o turn_v

debt_n for_o thou_o when_o thou_o be_v ready_a to_o go_v to_o prison_n for_o it_o so_o that_o now_o the_o lord_n begin_v to_o grow_v angry_a with_o thou_o if_o thou_o will_v not_o yet_o love_v he_o for_o all_o this_o and_o yet_o this_o be_v not_o all_o and_o therefore_o three_o consider_v also_o that_o he_o love_v thou_o now_o as_o fire_n beget_v fire_n so_o do_v love_n beget_v love_n therefore_o say_v saint_n john_n we_o love_v he_o because_o he_o love_v we_o first_o that_o be_v his_o love_n to_o we_o shall_v make_v we_o love_v he_o again_o but_o especial_o we_o can_v but_o love_v he_o if_o we_o consider_v in_o the_o last_o place_n four_o what_o his_o love_n be_v for_o its_o unspeakable_a 19_o and_o pass_a knowledge_n we_o can_v never_o conceive_v the_o height_n and_o length_n etc._n etc._n all_o which_o what_o shall_v it_o teach_v we_o but_o these_o two_o thing_n first_o that_o if_o we_o will_v not_o love_v the_o lord_n 22._o he_o will_v show_v his_o wrath_n and_o make_v his_o power_n know_v upon_o we_o that_o we_o be_v but_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n fit_v for_o destruction_n as_o it_o be_v say_v again_o second_o it_o shall_v exhort_v we_o to_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o therefore_o to_o provoke_v we_o thereunto_o we_o shall_v often_o consider_v and_o think_v in_o these_o thing_n what_o right_a and_o title_n he_o have_v to_o we_o how_o much_o he_o have_v do_v for_o we_o and_o how_o great_o he_o love_v yea_o and_o more_o than_o all_o this_o we_o shall_v thereby_o also_o have_v these_o and_o these_o thing_n we_o shall_v by_o this_o mean_n reap_v these_o and_o these_o benefit_n first_o we_o shall_v have_v his_o spirit_n the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n the_o comforter_n which_o shall_v lead_v we_o into_o all_o truth_n and_o enable_v we_o to_o fulfil_v his_o commandment_n and_o with_o facility_n and_o ease_n whereas_o else_o they_o will_v be_v grievous_a unto_o we_o as_o for_o example_n saint_n paul_n will_v soon_o have_v be_v weary_a of_o preach_v and_o suffer_v so_o much_o as_o he_o do_v if_o he_o have_v not_o have_v this_o love_n in_o he_o and_o why_o do_v parent_n think_v nothing_o too_o much_o for_o their_o child_n but_o because_o they_o love_v they_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o though_o they_o be_v froward_a and_o untoward_a yet_o still_o they_o bear_v with_o they_o if_o then_o we_o can_v find_v in_o our_o heart_n to_o be_v quiet_a until_o they_o look_v to_o the_o lord_n like_v as_o the_o needle_n of_o a_o compass_n which_o be_v touch_v with_o a_o loadstone_n will_v never_o stand_v still_o till_o it_o come_v to_o the_o north-pole_n then_o may_v this_o be_v a_o testimony_n unto_o we_o that_o may_v distinguish_v we_o from_o hypocrite_n and_o witness_v to_o our_o soul_n that_o we_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n for_o they_o keep_v the_o commandment_n of_o god_n in_o some_o sort_n and_o abstain_v from_o some_o one_o kind_n of_o sin_n but_o not_o out_o of_o love_n to_o he_o nor_o in_o any_o obedience_n and_o conscience_n of_o his_o word_n but_o in_o love_n to_o themselves_o second_o this_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o thy_o resurrection_n from_o the_o death_n of_o sin_n to_o the_o life_n of_o righteousness_n hereby_o shall_v you_o know_v that_o you_o be_v translate_v from_o death_n to_o life_n because_o you_o love_v the_o brethren_n now_o you_o can_v love_v they_o but_o you_o must_v love_v the_o father_n that_o beget_v they_o three_o thou_o shall_v get_v by_o this_o thy_o love_n to_o he_o for_o when_o thou_o give_v he_o thy_o heart_n he_o will_v give_v it_o thou_o again_o he_o will_v only_o alter_v the_o object_n but_o let_v thou_o keep_v the_o affection_n still_o only_o it_o shall_v be_v better_o than_o it_o be_v before_o he_o will_v purify_v it_o from_o all_o its_o corruption_n and_o cleanse_v it_o from_o all_o its_o sin_n nor_o shall_v this_o be_v any_o thing_n out_o of_o thy_o way_n it_o shall_v be_v as_o much_o for_o thy_o profit_n as_o ever_o it_o be_v before_o for_o when_o thy_o heart_n be_v set_v to_o keep_v his_o commandment_n when_o it_o incline_v to_o his_o statute_n as_o so_o he_o will_v incline_v it_o than_o whatsoever_o thou_o do_v 14._o it_o shall_v prosper_v so_o that_o as_o it_o be_v say_v of_o the_o sabbath_n that_o it_o be_v make_v for_o man_n that_o be_v for_o man_n good_a so_o may_v we_o say_v the_o same_o of_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o commandment_n that_o it_o be_v make_v for_o man_n that_o be_v for_o his_o good_a and_o benefit_n 33._o and_o therefore_o the_o promise_n of_o life_n and_o happiness_n be_v make_v to_o all_o alike_o and_o here_o by_o the_o way_n take_v this_o difference_n along_o with_o thou_o to_o distinguish_v thy_o love_n from_o self_n love_n for_o that_o be_v all_o for_o itself_o but_o this_o be_v all_o for_o he_o who_o thou_o love_v if_o then_o thou_o love_v the_o lord_n for_o thy_o own_o good_a it_o be_v self_n love_n but_o if_o thou_o love_v he_o for_o himself_o simple_o without_o any_o respect_n to_o the_o recompense_n of_o reward_n then_o be_v it_o true_a love_n indeed_o four_o we_o shall_v receive_v much_o comfort_n by_o love_v the_o lord_n now_o what_o be_v that_o keep_v we_o from_o love_v of_o he_o but_o our_o pleasure_n we_o be_v loath_a to_o part_v with_o they_o and_o yet_o alas_o we_o shall_v receive_v much_o more_o and_o they_o far_o more_o substantial_a sollider_n and_o sound_a comfort_n by_o love_v of_o he_o than_o ever_o we_o shall_v by_o love_v of_o the_o world_n or_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n now_o do_v but_o think_v how_o good_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v to_o love_v one_o that_o be_v but_o like_o thou_o much_o rather_o shall_v thou_o love_v one_o that_o die_v for_o thou_o wherefore_o if_o thou_o will_v have_v thy_o heart_n fill_v with_o joy_n and_o comfort_n love_v he_o for_o so_o thou_o shall_v have_v joy_n unspeakable_a and_o glorious_a and_o last_o of_o all_o if_o thou_o will_v indeed_o unfeigned_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n consider_v five_o that_o it_o make_v thou_o a_o more_o excellent_a man_n than_o thou_o be_v before_o for_o every_o man_n be_v better_a or_o worse_o according_a to_o his_o love_n as_o it_o be_v set_v on_o thing_n better_a or_o worse_o now_o christ_n be_v the_o summum_fw-la bonum_fw-la the_o chief_a good_a and_o if_o thou_o love_v he_o thou_o be_v unite_v unto_o he_o and_o to_o his_o godhead_n for_o love_n be_v of_o a_o unite_n nature_n thou_o will_v say_v quest._n these_o be_v indeed_o good_a motive_n to_o make_v we_o to_o love_v he_o but_o how_o shall_v i_o come_v by_o this_o love_n or_o by_o what_o mean_n shall_v i_o get_v this_o love_n into_o my_o heart_n for_o answer_v whereunto_o i_o tell_v thou_o first_o of_o all_o answ._n that_o if_o thou_o can_v but_o unfeigned_o desire_v to_o love_v he_o thou_o have_v half_o do_v this_o work_n already_o and_o that_o thou_o may_v have_v such_o a_o desire_n meditate_v often_o upon_o those_o motive_n before_o this_o be_v the_o answer_n christ_n himself_o give_v to_o his_o disciple_n when_o they_o ask_v he_o how_o they_o shall_v get_v faith_n why_o say_v he_o if_o you_o have_v faith_n but_o as_o a_o grain_n of_o mustard_n feed_v you_o shall_v say_v to_o this_o mountain_n be_v thou_o remove_v and_o be_v thou_o throw_v into_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o sea_n etc._n etc._n thereby_o show_v they_o the_o excellency_n of_o it_o that_o so_o he_o may_v the_o more_o enamour_v they_o with_o the_o love_n of_o it_o and_o make_v they_o desire_v it_o above_o all_o that_o they_o can_v imagine_v and_o think_v of_o beside_o in_o comparison_n thereof_o but_o if_o thou_o will_v as_o thou_o say_v thou_o desire_v to_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n indeed_o with_o all_o thy_o heart_n with_o all_o thy_o soul_n and_o with_o etc._n etc._n i_o answer_v and_o add_v again_o thou_o can_v not_o use_v a_o better_a mean_n to_o attain_v thereunto_o and_o get_v the_o love_n of_o he_o into_o thy_o heart_n then_o these_o first_o pray_v unto_o god_n for_o it_o for_o all_o grace_n be_v his_o gift_n they_o be_v mere_a donative_n and_o he_o have_v promise_v to_o hear_v they_o that_o ask_v in_o his_o son_n name_n and_o to_o give_v the_o spirit_n to_o they_o that_o ask_v it_o that_o be_v to_o give_v the_o gift_n and_o grace_n thereof_o unto_o they_o nor_o be_v he_o any_o niggard_n for_o he_o give_v liberal_o and_o obray_v not_o but_o thou_o will_v say_v quest._n how_o do_v prayer_n beget_v love_n i_o answer_v it_o beget_v it_o two_o way_n first_o answ._n by_o prevail_v with_o god_n second_o by_o familiarity_n with_o he_o first_o i_o say_v by_o prevail_v

we_o can_v be_v his_o disciple_n so_o do_v the_o apostle_n we_o have_v forsake_v all_o and_o follow_v thou_o wherefore_o let_v we_o not_o set_v these_o thing_n too_o near_o our_o heart_n but_o

accept_v of_o your_o love_n and_o you_o will_v know_v that_o he_o do_v so_o suffer_v not_o any_o sluttishness_n any_o sin_n and_o filthiness_n to_o rest_v in_o your_o heart_n but_o sweep_v and_o

three_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n the_o anoint_a of_o the_o lord_n the_o light_n that_o shall_v come_v into_o the_o world_n the_o high_a priest_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n ordain_v and_o

to_o set_v we_o at_o one_o again_o with_o he_o who_o before_o be_v utter_a enemy_n one_o to_o the_o other_o hater_n of_o god_n and_o hate_v of_o he_o therefore_o be_v he_o also_o call_v our_o peace_n our_o mediator_n and_o advocate_n and_o the_o like_a but_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o only_o make_v and_o appoint_v to_o be_v a_o priest_n unto_o we_o to_o reconcile_v we_o unto_o his_o father_n but_o

not_o preach_v christ_n in_o the_o gospel_n a_o saviour_n only_o but_o a_o prince_n and_o a_o lord_n also_o and_o they_o that_o love_v he_o must_v be_v content_a to_o take_v he_o as_o both_o aswell_o
