in_o say_v it_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o we_o to_o know_v that_o god_n have_v choose_v we_o to_o himself_o but_o we_o must_v also_o know_v what_o it_o be_v that_o move_v he_o thereto_o and_o how_o he_o be_v induce_v thereunto_o do_v he_o seek_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o out_o of_o himself_o no_o but_o his_o own_o love_n be_v the_o cause_n that_o he_o choose_v us._n now_o when_o the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o god_n love_n it_o mean_v that_o free_a favour_n which_o he_o bear_v towards_o we_o so_o as_o he_o respect_v not_o our_o person_n nor_o service_n nor_o aught_o else_o that_o we_o can_v bring_v sith_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o consider_v here_o god_n goodness_n two_o way_n for_o first_o of_o all_o when_o we_o have_v his_o gospel_n preach_v among_o we_o and_o his_o sacrament_n whereby_o he_o gather_v we_o as_o it_o be_v into_o his_o fold_n and_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v our_o shepherd_n it_o be_v say_v i_o a_o choose_n of_o we_o for_o the_o which_o we_o be_v great_o bind_v unto_o he_o in_o so_o much_o that_o our_o maliciousness_n must_v needs_o be_v cast_v in_o our_o tooth_n and_o be_v call_v to_o account_v to_o receive_v horrible_a vengeance_n if_o we_o make_v no_o reckon_v of_o so_o great_a a_o grace_n as_o he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o us._n therefore_o let_v we_o make_v much_o of_o the_o benefit_n that_o we_o enjoy_v ●●_o de●●_n ●●_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n of_o god_n gather_v we_o here_o together_o in_o his_o name_n to_o be_v as_o his_o household_n folk_n but_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o second_o choose_v which_o be_v when_o every_o of_o we_o perceive_v that_o god_n have_v enlighten_v he_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o make_v we_o to_o taste_v his_o word_n so_o as_o we_o stick_v to_o it_o by_o

not_o make_v long_a circuit_n to_o find_v some_o reason_n in_o ourselves_o but_o let_v we_o hold_v we_o content_v with_o the_o free_a love_n of_o our_o god_n for_o he_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o any_o man_n he_o may_v destroy_v all_o mankind_n by_o his_o justice_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o he_o have_v pity_n upon_o us._n and_o whereas_o he_o pity_v not_o all_o alike_o but_o let_v who_o he_o listen_v alone_o therein_o he_o intend_v to_o give_v the_o great_a show_n of_o his_o goodness_n as_o i_o have_v say_v already_o to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o shall_v compare_v ourselves_o with_o other_o and_o say_v wherefore_o be_o i_o one_o of_o god_n elect_v wherefore_o have_v god_n choose_v i_o to_o himself_o i_o shall_v have_v be_v as_o other_o man_n be_v if_o god_n have_v not_o reach_v i_o his_o hand_n and_o what_o move_v he_o to_o do_v it_o his_o own_o mere_a goodness_n this_o comparison_n than_o must_v induce_v we_o to_o glorify_v our_o god_n when_o we_o see_v that_o he_o have_v stretch_v out_o his_o mighty_a arm_n over_o us._n and_o so_o we_o see_v that_o that_o doctrine_n be_v not_o utter_v only_o for_o the_o instruction_n of_o the_o people_n of_o old_a time_n but_o that_o the_o same_o be_v common_a to_o we_o also_o at_o this_o day_n remember_v say_v moses_n that_o thy_o god_n have_v choose_v thou_o and_o why_o because_o he_o love_v thy_o father_n and_o the_o same_o also_o be_v the_o cause_n why_o that_o in_o that_o high_a and_o excellent_a redemption_n which_o be_v make_v by_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n the_o scripture_n send_v we_o to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n for_o that_o be_v the_o only_a wellspring_n god_n so_o love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o spare_v not_o his_o only_a son_n 3.16_o john_n 3.16_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n then_o that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v come_v to_o be_v our_o saviour_n what_o be_v the_o cause_n that_o the_o salvation_n which_o he_o purchase_v for_o we_o be_v preach_v nowadays_o unto_o we_o what_o be_v the_o very_a cause_n that_o faith_n be_v give_v we_o and_o that_o god_n inlighten_v we_o by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n we_o must_v always_o resort_v to_o this_o ground_n that_o it_o be_v because_o god_n love_v us._n it_o be_v true_a that_o saint_n john_n say_v general_o that_o he_o love_v the_o world_n and_o why_o for_o jesus_n christ_n offer_v himself_o general_o to_o all_o man_n without_o exception_n to_o be_v their_o redeemer_n it_o be_v say_v afterward_o in_o the_o covenant_n that_o god_n love_v the_o world_n when_o he_o send_v his_o only_a son_n but_o he_o love_v we_o we_o i_o say_v which_o have_v be_v teach_v by_o his_o gospel_n because_o he_o gather_v we_o to_o he_o and_o the_o faithful_a that_o be_v enlighten_v by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n 13.14_o eph_n 1.9_o rom._n 8.16_o gal._n 4.6_o eph._n 13.14_o have_v yet_o a_o third_o use_n of_o god_n love_n in_o that_o he_o reveil_v himself_o more_o familiar_o to_o they_o and_o seal_v up_o his_o fatherly_a adoption_n by_o his_o holy_a spirit_n and_o ingrave_v it_o in_o their_o heart_n now_o then_o let_v we_o in_o all_o case_n learn_v to_o know_v this_o love_n of_o god_n &_o when_o we_o be_v once_o come_v to_o it_o let_v we_o go_v no_o further_o thus_o we_o see_v three_o degree_n of_o the_o love_n that_o god_n have_v show_v we_o in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ._n the_o first_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o the_o redemption_n that_o be_v purchase_v in_o the_o person_n of_o he_o that_o give_v himself_o to_o death_n for_o we_o 3.13_o gal._n 3.13_o and_o become_v accurse_v to_o reconcile_v we_o to_o god_n his_o father_n that_o be_v the_o first_o degree_n of_o love_n which_o extend_v to_o all_o man_n inasmuch_o as_o jesus_n christ_n reach_v out_o his_o arm_n to_o call_v and_o allure_v all_o man_n both_o great_a and_o small_a and_o to_o win_v they_o to_o he_o but_o there_o be_v a_o special_a love_n for_o those_o to_o who_o the_o gospel_n be_v preach_v which_o be_v y_z t_o god_n testify_v unto_o they_o that_o he_o will_v make_v they_o partaker_n of_o y_z e_z benefit_n that_o be_v purchase_v for_o they_o by_o the_o death_n and_o passion_n of_o his_o son_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o we_o be_v of_o that_o number_n therefore_o be_v we_o double_a bind_v already_o to_o our_o god_n here_o be_v two_o bond_n which_o hold_v we_o as_o it_o be_v straight_o tie_v unto_o he_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o three_o bond_n which_o depend_v upon_o the_o third_o love_n that_o god_n show_v we_o which_o be_v that_o he_o not_o only_o cause_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v preach_v unto_o we_o but_o also_o make_v we_o to_o feel_v the_o power_n thereof_o so_o as_o we_o know_v he_o to_o be_v our_o father_n &_o saviour_n not_o dout_v but_o that_o our_o sin_n be_v forgive_v we_o for_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n sake_n who_o bring_v we_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o reform_v we_o after_o his_o own_o image_n when_o as_o god_n do_v so_o imprint_v in_o our_o heart_n the_o doctrine_n that_o be_v preach_v unto_o we_o by_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n let_v we_o understand_v that_o he_o show_v we_o a_o three_o love_n true_a it_o be_v that_o to_o speak_v proper_o god_n have_v not_o diverse_a affection_n we_o must_v not_o imagine_v so_o but_o i_o handle_v these_o matter_n according_a to_o our_o capacity_n and_o we_o must_v consider_v of_o god_n love_n according_a to_o our_o slenderness_n because_o we_o can_v attain_v to_o his_o high_a majesty_n as_o be_v say_v afore_o and_o therefore_o even_o he_o himself_o also_o utter_v himself_o to_o we_o according_a to_o our_o ability_n and_o so_o we_o see_v now_o that_o god_n love_n be_v utter_v and_o show_v unto_o we_o evident_o three_o way_n in_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n 3.10_o col._n 3.10_o the_o chief_a whereof_o be_v when_o we_o have_v the_o gospel_n preach_v and_o that_o faith_n be_v add_v unto_o it_o therewithal_o and_o as_o i_o say_v when_o we_o once_o have_v this_o free_a love_n of_o god_n we_o must_v go_v no_o further_o for_o we_o see_v what_o have_v happen_v to_o all_o such_o as_o have_v not_o hold_v themselves_o in_o such_o soberness_n and_o sure_o when_o man_n be_v inquisitive_a why_o god_n love_v some_o more_o than_o othersome_a it_o proceed_v of_o a_o certain_a pride_n and_o spite_n in_o that_o they_o can_v abide_v that_o the_o whole_a praise_n of_o their_o salvation_n shall_v rest_v in_o god_n alone_o man_n seek_v always_o to_o challenge_v somewhat_o to_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o
whould_v fill_v all_o thing_n with_o blood_n and_o violate_v so_o many_o image_n of_o god_n as_o come_v in_o their_o way_n &_o that_o the_o same_o shall_v be_v suffer_v i_o pray_v you_o be_v it_o not_o a_o betray_n that_o we_o be_v loath_a that_o god_n shall_v reign_v among_o we_o or_o have_v we_o under_o his_o protection_n yes_o therefore_o let_v we_o mark_v well_o what_o be_v say_v here_o concern_v wilful_a murder_n how_o there_o be_v no_o pardon_n for_o they_o but_o god_n will_v have_v they_o root_v out_o of_o the_o world_n and_o execute_v by_o justice_n which_o have_v violate_v his_o image_n and_o why_o to_o the_o intent_n we_o shall_v always_o bear_v in_o mind_n the_o thing_n that_o i_o speak_v of_o before_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n how_o great_o he_o love_v we_o and_o that_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o have_v adopt_v we_o to_o be_v his_o child_n he_o will_v have_v a_o continual_a care_n of_o we_o and_o keep_v we_o as_o chare_o as_o the_o apple_n of_o his_o eye_n as_o he_o speak_v by_o his_o prophet_n zacharie_n 2.8_o zach._n 2.8_o now_o if_o it_o be_v so_o that_o we_o desire_v god_n as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n teach_v we_o to_o keep_v we_o as_o the_o apple_n of_o his_o eye_n that_o be_v to_o say_v as_o the_o tender_a and_o delicate_a part_n of_o he_o i_o pray_v you_o ought_v not_o we_o to_o gather_v thereby_o that_o see_v he_o love_v we_o he_o will_v have_v we_o also_o to_o love_v one_o another_o yea_o even_o with_o more_o than_o brotherly_a love_n yes_o and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o abstain_v from_o all_o wrong_n and_o outrage_n moreover_o whensoever_o any_o murder_n be_v commit_v or_o whensoever_o any_o folk_n be_v so_o wicked_a and_o cruel_a as_o to_o go_v about_o to_o shed_v man_n blood_n let_v we_o make_v account_n of_o they_o not_o only_o as_o enemy_n to_o man_n but_o also_o as_o deadly_a enemy_n to_o god_n for_o as_o much_o as_o he_o show_v himself_o to_o be_v their_o adversary_n and_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o take_v it_o as_o a_o assault_a of_o he_o in_o his_o own_o person_n and_o in_o his_o own_o majesty_n that_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v to_o mark_v and_o herewithal_o we_o must_v pass_v yet_o further_o for_o we_o know_v how_o s._n john_n say_v that_o whosoever_o hate_v his_o neighbour_n in_o his_o hart_n 3.15_o 1._o john_n 3.15_o be_v a_o murderer_n before_o god_n true_a it_o be_v y_z t_z we_o must_v in_o any_o wise_a keep_v our_o hand_n clean_o from_o all_o injury_n and_o outrage_n but_o yet_o must_v our_o heart_n also_o be_v pure_a and_o clean_a before_o god_n if_o it_o be_v not_o so_o we_o shall_v be_v blame_v not_o for_o draw_v of_o our_o sword_n but_o for_o desire_v to_o overthrow_v our_o neighbour_n and_o for_o labour_v so_o much_o as_o be_v in_o we_o to_o bring_v it_o to_o pass_v by_o overthwart_a mean_n albeit_o that_o man_n can_v not_o blame_v we_o yet_o do_v god_n condemn_v we_o for_o murderer_n yea_o though_o our_o hatred_n be_v so_o secret_a as_o we_o never_o make_v countenance_n of_o it_o for_o whereas_o s._n john_n say_v he_o that_o hate_v his_o brother_n in_o his_o heart_n it_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o he_o say_v although_o the_o hatred_n appear_v not_o nor_o man_n can_v bear_v witness_n of_o it_o yet_o be_v we_o faulty_a if_o our_o heart_n be_v infect_v with_o any_o rancour_n or_o enmity_n sith_o it_o be_v so_o let_v we_o bear_v well_o in_o mind_n that_o our_o lord_n intent_n be_v to_o persuade_v we_o to_o brotherly_a love_n among_o ourselves_o and_o to_o agree_v together_o endeavour_v to_o help_v one_o another_o for_o all_o mankind_n be_v knit_v together_o as_o it_o be_v into_o one_o body_n and_o therefore_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o abhor_v all_o murder_n as_o well_o which_o be_v commit_v against_o other_o folk_n as_o which_o be_v mean_v against_o ourselves_o howbeit_o let_v we_o learn_v to_o hate_v that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o condemn_v continual_o all_o murder_n without_o say_v little_a or_o much_o in_o excuse_n of_o it_o in_o so_o much_o that_o although_o we_o be_v guilty_a of_o it_o yet_o we_o shall_v judge_v against_o ourselves_o if_o we_o will_v judge_v right_o will_v we_o then_o condemn_v murder_n in_o another_o man_n let_v we_o condemn_v hatred_n in_o ourselves_o by_o abstain_v from_o all_o malice_n and_o revengement_n that_o our_o heart_n may_v be_v rid_v of_o it_o if_o we_o deal_v with_o such_o uprightness_n then_o will_v god_n dwell_v with_o we_o and_o make_v we_o to_o prosper_v but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o manslaughter_n which_o be_v not_o commit_v through_o malice_n nor_o in_o rage_n nor_o by_o quarrel_v shall_v be_v pardon_v and_o not_o without_o cause_n for_o as_o i_o tell_v you_o the_o crime_n that_o be_v punishable_a must_v be_v commit_v with_o a_o will_n and_o intent_n then_o if_o one_o shoot_v and_o meaning_n to_o level_v at_o his_o mark_n do_v hit_v a_o man_n by_o the_o way_n he_o be_v not_o punishable_a for_o even_o the_o law_n of_o man_n have_v ordain_v so_o and_o there_o be_v a_o example_n of_o it_o set_v down_o in_o another_o place_n of_o this_o book_n 19.5_o deut._n 19.5_o where_o it_o be_v say_v that_o if_o a_o man_n be_v crop_v of_o a_o tree_n and_o his_o axe_n fall_v down_o upon_o one_o that_o be_v under_o the_o tree_n he_o shall_v not_o be_v guilty_a of_o the_o fall_n of_o his_o axe_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o he_o who_o he_o perceive_v not_o and_o why_o for_o it_o be_v god_n that_o do_v it_o say_v the_o text_n whereas_o we_o say_v it_o be_v by_o chance_n or_o fortune_n because_o we_o can_v conceive_v that_o thing_n happen_v otherwise_o than_o by_o chance_n you_o see_v here_o how_o it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v god_n do_v that_o be_v to_o say_v it_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n who_o govern_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o secret_a providence_n that_o such_o a_o one_o shall_v be_v take_v out_o of_o the_o world_n yet_o notwithstanding_o he_o that_o give_v the_o stripe_n unaware_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v punish_v as_o if_o he_o have_v kill_v one_o in_o anger_n and_o in_o a_o fray_n thus_o we_o see_v here_o what_o manslaughter_n be_v pardonable_a howbeit_o there_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v note_v therewithal_o the_o one_o be_v that_o inquisition_n must_v be_v make_v of_o it_o and_o the_o other_o be_v that_o although_o such_o a_o one_o be_v not_o to_o be_v take_v as_o a_o fellow_n yet_o do_v god_n separate_v he_o from_o other_o man_n &_o will_v have_v he_o to_o be_v as_o a_o prisoner_n for_o a_o time_n to_o the_o intent_n he_o shall_v be_v a_o example_n to_o other_o to_o shun_v murder_v the_o more_o seeing_z that_z y_z e_z manslaughter_n which_o be_v commit_v unwilling_o be_v punish_v after_o that_o fashion_n as_o touch_v inquisition_n and_o make_n of_o search_n it_o be_v a_o notable_a point_n for_o we_o see_v how_o man_n be_v abuse_v with_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v in_o favour_n of_o offender_n in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o any_o thing_n be_v allege_v that_o may_v move_v to_o pity_v and_o a_o countenance_n be_v set_v upon_o the_o matter_n that_o the_o offender_n be_v very_o sorry_a man_n must_v shut_v their_o eye_n at_o he_o and_o say_v alas_o what_o shall_v a_o man_n do_v and_o this_o be_v do_v daily_o and_o will_v god_n that_o example_n thereof_o be_v not_o so_o common_a justice_n be_v common_o abuse_v in_o so_o much_o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o cause_n or_o reason_n to_o be_v show_v that_o some_o man_n may_v happen_v not_o to_o be_v so_o faulty_a as_o he_o be_v accuse_v to_o be_v the_o same_o shall_v be_v wrest_v to_o another_o man_n defence_n which_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o have_v any_o favour_n at_o all_o and_o why_o be_v that_o for_o want_v of_o examination_n and_o by_o that_o mean_a wicked_a man_n be_v still_o maintain_v for_o be_v there_o diligent_a examination_n make_v and_o thing_n sift_v to_o the_o bottom_n man_n may_v soon_o discern_v between_o they_o that_o be_v faulty_a and_o they_o that_o be_v faultless_a but_o what_o man_n be_v content_v to_o shut_v their_o eye_n and_o although_o they_o can_v but_o see_v yet_o will_v they_o make_v countenance_n as_o though_o they_o know_v it_o not_o and_o so_o be_v the_o wicked_a discharge_v the_o
