in_o all_o that_o have_v the_o thing_n though_o it_o be_v to_o be_v no_o more_o wonder_v at_o than_o that_o man_n who_o have_v intellect_n and_o will_n and_o vital_a power_n be_v so_o much_o perplex_v with_o difficulty_n and_o dispute_n about_o the_o nature_n of_o they_o as_o the_o great_a philosopher_n be_v 19_o the_o secondary_a object_n of_o our_o holiness_n active_a and_o dispositive_a be_v god_n image_n and_o appearance_n in_o all_o his_o work_n it_o be_v this_o that_o be_v often_o call_v his_o glory_n that_o be_v as_o his_o glory_n be_v make_v man_n object_n and_o his_o end_n even_o the_o glorious_a communication_n and_o reflection_n and_o appearance_n of_o god_n in_o his_o perfection_n on_o ourselves_o and_o on_o all_o his_o work_n and_o not_o only_o the_o praise_n that_o we_o give_v he_o for_o they_o by_o our_o thought_n or_o word_n 20._o as_o more_o or_o less_o of_o god_n be_v find_v in_o any_o thing_n or_o person_n so_o we_o be_v more_o or_o less_o to_o love_n and_o honour_n they_o because_o we_o do_v it_o for_o god_n appear_v in_o they_o 21._o there_o be_v not_o only_o different_a degree_n therefore_o but_o also_o different_a sort_n of_o love_n and_o honour_n due_a to_o different_a thing_n and_o person_n as_o god_n have_v communicate_v different_a gift_n to_o they_o as_o virtue_n office_n magistracy_n ministry_n parentage_n etc._n etc._n 22._o when_o any_o of_o these_o be_v love_v and_o honour_a true_o for_o god_n image_n or_o glory_n appear_v in_o they_o it_o be_v ultimate_o god_n himself_o that_o be_v love_v and_o honour_a in_o and_o through_o they_o and_o so_o even_o this_o love_n of_o god_n appear_v in_o his_o creature_n animate_v or_o inanimate_a intellectual_a or_o his_o word_n and_o ordinance_n be_v a_o holy_a love_n when_o as_o the_o love_n of_o all_o the_o same_o thing_n on_o another_o account_n and_o not_o as_o god_n be_v glorious_a and_o belove_a in_o they_o be_v but_o a_o common_a and_o unholy_a love_n 23._o according_o it_o be_v a_o real_a secondary_a part_n of_o our_o holiness_n to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o for_o that_o of_o god_n which_o equal_o appear_v in_o he_o and_o to_o do_v just_o unto_o all_o and_o to_o love_v our_o self_n on_o the_o same_o account_n and_o to_o keep_v ourselves_o in_o temperance_n chastity_n sobriety_n etc._n etc._n and_o so_o the_o duty_n of_o the_o second_o table_n be_v a_o secondary_a holiness_n as_o they_o be_v chain_v to_o the_o first_o by_o the_o relation_n that_o the_o creature_n have_v to_o god_n and_o as_o god_n be_v the_o beginning_n and_o end_n in_o all_o that_o be_v 1._o as_o all_o thing_n be_v of_o he_o and_o as_o he_o be_v the_o maker_n and_o owner_n of_o we_o and_o they_o 2._o as_o all_o thing_n be_v through_o he_o and_o as_o he_o be_v the_o ruler_n of_o

sanctify_v to_o believer_n 24._o so_o also_o when_o parent_n magistrate_n and_o pastor_n be_v love_v honour_a and_o obey_v in_o their_o pure_a subordination_n to_o god_n viz._n 1._o as_o they_o have_v their_o power_n and_o office_n from_o god_n 2._o and_o as_o this_o be_v command_v we_o by_o god_n 3._o and_o as_o they_o honour_n god_n and_o as_o our_o duty_n honour_v or_o glorifi_v he_o and_o as_o he_o be_v please_v in_o it_o this_o also_o be_v a_o secondary_a part_n of_o our_o holiness_n but_o when_o they_o be_v honour_v and_o obey_v mere_o for_o fear_n or_o for_o our_o own_o end_n or_o on_o any_o humane_a account_n not_o subordinate_a and_o refer_v as_o a_o mean_n to_o the_o glory_n and_o please_a of_o god_n it_o be_v a_o common_a and_o unholy_a honour_n and_o obedience_n 25._o as_o all_o mankind_n be_v fall_v by_o he_o from_o god_n to_o themselves_o and_o other_o creature_n so_o holiness_n be_v their_o contrary_a adherence_n to_o god_n upon_o their_o return_n and_o so_o when_o we_o say_v all_o the_o world_n be_v distinguish_v into_o two_o sort_n the_o unholy_a and_o the_o holy_a or_o the_o ungodly_a and_o the_o godly_a we_o mean_v that_o one_o part_n adhere_v to_o carnal_a self_n and_o creature_n as_o serviceable_a to_o carnal_a self_n and_o the_o other_o part_n be_v convert_v from_o self_n to_o god_n and_o use_v the_o creature_n as_o a_o mean_n to_o god_n as_o he_o be_v their_o end_n 26._o the_o word_n morality_n be_v make_v ambiguous_a by_o the_o loose_a and_o various_a use_n of_o man_n not_o use_v to_o any_o accurateness_n of_o speech_n but_o the_o first_o famous_a and_o most_o notable_a acception_n of_o the_o word_n be_v to_o signify_v all_o virtue_n and_o vice_n or_o conformity_n and_o disconformity_n to_o the_o roll_a will_n or_o law_n of_o god_n as_o ethic_n or_o moral_n as_o distinct_a from_o physics_n and_o other_o science_n and_o in_o this_o usual_a sense_n all_o thing_n command_v by_o god_n be_v direct_o and_o all_o thing_n forbid_v reductive_o the_o part_n of_o morality_n that_o be_v all_o moral_a good_a and_o evil_a and_o so_o faith_n in_o christ_n be_v a_o great_a part_n of_o our_o true_a morality_n and_o they_o that_o will_v needs_o take_v the_o word_n in_o any_o narrow_a private_a sense_n prepare_v for_o quarrel_n and_o be_v oblige_v to_o explain_v themselves_o before_o they_o censure_v other_o or_o dispute_v about_o a_o ambiguous_a word_n 27._o the_o sum_n of_o holiness_n and_o morality_n which_o be_v all_o one_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n as_o god_n include_v absolute_a resignation_n and_o subjection_n and_o the_o love_n of_o man_n and_o all_o thing_n for_o god_n appear_v in_o they_o and_o serve_v by_o they_o 28._o if_o either_o heathen_n or_o wicked_a nominal_a christian_n do_v take_v holiness_n or_o morality_n to_o be_v only_o the_o love_n of_o ourselves_o and_o our_o neighbour_n and_o a_o disposition_n of_o mind_n and_o course_n of_o life_n in_o which_o we_o live_v orderly_o just_o and_o charitable_o to_o all_o and_o sober_o to_o our_o own_o mind_n and_o body_n and_o all_o this_o only_a for_o the_o maintain_n of_o the_o temporal_a prosperity_n of_o ourselves_o and_o other_o or_o for_o the_o merit_v of_o a_o prosperity_n in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v not_o at_o all_o refer_v all_o this_o to_o god_n as_o the_o beginning_n the_o guide_n and_o the_o ultimate_a end_n of_o all_o it_o be_v but_o analogical_o call_v either_o holiness_n or_o morality_n and_o not_o in_o a_o proper_a or_o univocal_a sense_n because_o the_o end_n be_v leave_v out_o which_o must_v give_v be_v to_o all_o true_a holiness_n and_o morality_n of_o which_o see_v my_o agreement_n with_o dr._n barlow_n in_o my_o small_a tractate_n of_o save_v faith_n 29._o the_o meaning_n of_o those_o divine_n of_o my_o acquaintance_n that_o speak_v against_o preach_v mere_a morality_n be_v indeed_o against_o these_o that_o preach_v no_o morality_n but_o the_o ethic_n or_o analogical_a morality_n of_o atheist_n who_o leave_v out_o the_o end_n or_o else_o a_o piece_n of_o morality_n which_o we_o call_v the_o natural_a part_n leave_v out_o christianity_n as_o if_o that_o be_v no_o part_n of_o holiness_n or_o morality_n or_o treat_v light_o and_o loose_o of_o it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o ceremony_n or_o thing_n indifferent_a as_o needless_a if_o not_o troublesome_a to_o the_o world_n as_o their_o thing_n call_v indifferent_a be_v and_o what_o christian_a can_v excuse_v that_o sort_n of_o preach_v 30._o as_o elsewhere_o i_o have_v often_o say_v we_o must_v careful_o distinguish_v between_o the_o primitive_a or_o primary_n and_o natural_a part_n of_o holiness_n which_o be_v godliness_n or_o our_o love_n to_o god_n as_o such_o and_o the_o mediate_v remedy_v subservient_fw-fr part_n which_o be_v faith_n in_o christ_n or_o christianity_n as_o such_o the_o first_o be_v as_o our_o health_n the_o second_o as_o our_o medicine_n 31._o this_o distinction_n be_v it_o which_o be_v intend_v by_o the_o apostle_n when_o they_o so_o often_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o be_v sanctify_v or_o receive_v the_o spirit_n of_o holiness_n by_o believe_v in_o christ_n faith_n kindle_v love_n and_o love_v kindle_v by_o faith_n be_v the_o two_o part_n and_o whole_a of_o our_o religion_n 32._o god_n only_a end_n in_o this_o and_o all_o his_o work_n so_o far_o as_o he_o may_v be_v say_v to_o intend_v a_o end_n be_v ultimate_o himself_o for_o he_o can_v have_v no_o other_o ultimate_a end_n 33._o when_o we_o say_v god_n be_v his_o own_o end_n we_o mean_v not_o that_o his_o essence_n or_o existence_n be_v his_o end_n for_o of_o that_o there_o can_v be_v a_o mean_n but_o formal_o it_o be_v the_o fulfil_n and_o complacency_n of_o his_o will._n for_o his_o will_n be_v the_o beginning_n and_o end_n
