we_o also_o before_o the_o world_n be_v second_o they_o differ_v in_o nature_n and_o quality_n 9.13_o for_o that_o love_n which_o be_v in_o god_n be_v most_o perfect_a and_o pure_a without_o any_o

the_o love_n of_o god_n a._n in_o the_o scripture_n god_n do_v compare_v himself_o to_o a_o father_n and_o a_o mother_n love_v their_o child_n to_o a_o hen_n gather_v her_o chicken_n together_o under_o her_o wing_n to_o a_o good_a shepherd_n seek_v up_o his_o sheep_n and_o to_o diverse_a other_o thing_n q_n and_o wherefore_o serve_v these_o comparison_n a._n they_o be_v for_o our_o profit_n two_o way_n 1_o to_o show_v we_o that_o god_n love_n towards_o we_o be_v most_o vehement_a and_o sincere_a 2_o to_o make_v we_o bold_a in_o come_v to_o he_o and_o call_n upon_o he_o so_o for_o this_o love_n christ_n jesus_n call_v we_o by_o all_o the_o name_n of_o love_n as_o his_o servant_n his_o kinsman_n his_o friend_n his_o spouse_n his_o brother_n &_o by_o many_o name_n more_o to_o show_v that_o he_o love_v we_o with_o all_o love_n the_o father_n love_n the_o mother_n love_n the_o master_n love_n the_o husband_n love_n the_o brother_n love_n etc._n etc._n &_o if_o all_o love_n be_v put_v together_o yet_o his_o love_n exceed_v they_o all_o for_o all_o can_v not_o do_v so_o much_o for_o we_o as_o he_o alone_o have_v do_v what_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v question_n if_o love_n do_v not_o signify_v any_o affection_n or_o passion_n in_o god_n as_o it_o do_v in_o we_o what_o then_o do_v be_v signify_v answer_n in_o god_n it_o signify_v three_o thing_n most_o perfect_a 1_o the_o eternal_a and_o good_a will_n of_o god_n towards_o some_o body_n for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n suppose_v towards_o the_o elect_a be_v his_o everlasting_a good_a will_n or_o his_o purpose_n and_o determination_n to_o show_v they_o mercy_n to_o do_v they_o good_a and_o to_o save_v they_o as_o in_o rom._n 9.11.13_o 2_o the_o effect_n themselves_o of_o this_o love_n or_o good_a will_n whether_o they_o be_v temporal_a concern_v this_o life_n or_o eternal_a concern_v the_o last_o life_n to_o come_v as_o in_o 1._o john_n 3.1_o 3_o the_o pleasure_n or_o delight_v which_o he_o take_v in_o that_o which_o he_o love_v and_o so_o it_o be_v take_v in_o psa._n 45.7.23_o q._n what_o thing_n do_v god_n love_n beside_o himself_o a._n beside_o himself_o god_n love_v all_o thing_n else_o whatsoever_o he_o make_v but_o he_o love_v not_o sin_n and_o iniquity_n 2.16_o for_o he_o never_o make_v it_o as_o s._n john_n say_v again_o he_o love_v his_o son_n be_v manifest_v in_o the_o flesh_n and_o he_o love_v his_o choose_a child_n for_o his_o son_n sake_n last_o with_o who_o he_o be_v well_o please_v objection_n the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n do_v hate_v all_o that_o work_n iniquity_n how_o then_o can_v god_n both_o hate_n and_o love_v one_o and_o the_o same_o man_n answer_n in_o everye_o wicked_a man_n we_o must_v consider_v two_o thing_n first_o his_o nature_n second_o his_o sin_n his_o nature_n be_v the_o work_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o love_v but_o his_o iniquity_n be_v not_o of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o hate_v objection_n god_n do_v afflict_v his_o child_n therefore_o he_o do_v not_o love_v they_o answer_n 3.12_o who_o he_o love_v he_o correct_v and_o therefore_o he_o correct_v they_o because_o he_o love_v they_o even_o as_o a_o goldsmith_n tri_v his_o gold_n in_o the_o fire_n because_o he_o love_v it_o whether_o god_n love_v all_o alike_o q._n whether_o do_v god_n love_v all_o alike_o or_o

for_o it_o be_v most_o proper_o attribute_v to_o god_n q._n when_o be_v our_o anger_n good_a a._n when_o it_o be_v such_o as_o the_o scripture_n attribute_v to_o god_n and_o commend_v to_o man_n when_o it_o say_v be_v angry_a 4.25_o but_o sin_v not_o how_o we_o sin_n in_o our_o anger_n q._n how_o many_o way_n be_v sin_n commit_v in_o our_o anger_n a._n three_o way_n first_o when_o we_o be_v angry_a for_o no_o cause_n or_o for_o a_o light_a cause_n 2._o when_o we_o be_v angry_a with_o sin_n as_o they_o be_v injury_n offer_v to_o ourselves_o but_o not_o as_o they_o be_v against_o god_n 3._o when_o we_o turn_v our_o anger_n against_o our_o brethren_n &_o the_o person_n of_o man_n which_o be_v due_a against_o their_o sin_n q._n what_o be_v the_o second_o use_n that_o we_o must_v make_v of_o it_o a._n secondlie_o god_n anger_n serve_v to_o raise_v we_o up_o from_o security_n q._n what_o be_v your_o three_o use_n a._n thirdlie_o we_o must_v not_o be_v slothful_a when_o we_o see_v the_o sign_n of_o god_n anger_n and_o his_o wrath_n come_v but_o use_v ordinary_a mean_n to_o prevent_v it_o of_o the_o hatred_n of_o god_n q._n whether_o may_v hatred_n be_v proper_o attribute_v to_o god_n or_o no_o a._n yes_o it_o may_v for_o the_o scripture_n do_v say_v of_o god_n that_o he_o hate_v iniquity_n psal._n 5.5_o objection_n if_o love_n be_v proper_o attribute_v to_o god_n then_o be_v hatred_n improper_o attribute_v to_o he_o for_o hatred_n be_v contrary_a to_o love_v and_o beside_o that_o hatred_n be_v a_o evil_a passion_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o therefore_o it_o can_v be_v proper_o attribute_v to_o god_n a._n for_o the_o understanding_n of_o this_o question_n we_o must_v note_v that_o hatred_n which_o be_v attribute_v to_o god_n may_v be_v consider_v two_o way_n 1._o as_o it_o be_v such_o as_o be_v in_o we_o and_o so_o it_o be_v indeed_o very_o improper_o attribute_v to_o god._n for_o in_o we_o it_o be_v a_o passion_n and_o a_o grief_n of_o the_o mind_n but_o in_o god_n be_v no_o passion_n 2._o it_o be_v to_o be_v consider_v as_o the_o scripture_n do_v teach_v it_o to_o be_v in_o god_n and_o in_o that_o sense_n in_o which_o they_o do_v attribute_v it_o to_o he_o and_o if_o we_o take_v hatred_n in_o that_o sense_n than_o it_o be_v proper_o attribute_v to_o god_n three_o thing_n understand_v by_o god_n hatred_n q._n declare_v then_o in_o what_o sense_n or_o signification_n the_o scripture_n do_v speak_v of_o hatred_n as_o it_o be_v attribute_v to_o god_n a._n in_o the_o scripture_n the_o hatred_n of_o god_n have_v 3._o signification_n 1_o it_o signify_v his_o denial_n of_o good_a will_n and_o mercy_n to_o eternal_a salvation_n i_o have_v hate_v esau_n that_o be_v 9.13_o i_o have_v reject_v he_o and_o have_v not_o vouchsafe_v he_o that_o favour_n &_o grace_n which_o i_o have_v show_v upon_o jacob_n and_o we_o also_o be_v say_v to_o hate_v those_o thing_n which_o we_o neglect_v and_o upon_o which_o we_o will_v bestow_v no_o benefit_n nor_o credit_n but_o do_v put_v they_o beside_o other_o thing_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v say_v if_o any_o man_n come_v to_o i_o and_o hate_v not_o his_o father_n and_o mother_n &_o wife_n and_o child_n etc._n etc._n he_o can_v be_v my_o disciple_n that_o be_v he_o that_o do_v not_o put_v all_o these_o thing_n behind_o i_o and_o neglect_v they_o for_o i_o so_o that_o the_o love_n that_o he_o bear_v to_o they_o must_v seem_v to_o be_v hatred_n in_o comparison_n of_o that_o love_n which_o he_o must_v show_v to_o i_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o be_v proper_o attribute_v to_o god_n q._n what_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n that_o be_v understand_v by_o the_o hatred_n of_o god_n a._n second_o it_o signify_v the_o decree_n of_o god_n will_n to_o punish_v sin_n and_o the_o just_a punishment_n itself_o which_o he_o have_v decree_v as_o in_o psal._n 5.6_o and_o in_o job._n 30.21_o thou_o turn_v thyself_o cruel_o against_o i_o and_o be_v enemy_n unto_o i_o with_o the_o strength_n of_o thy_o hand_n that_o be_v thou_o do_v so_o sore_o chastise_v i_o as_o if_o thou_o do_v hate_v i_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n also_o it_o be_v proper_o attribute_v to_o god_n for_o it_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n to_o take_v punishment_n of_o sinner_n and_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o his_o justice_n q._n what_o be_v the_o three_o signification_n of_o this_o word_n a._n thirdlye_o it_o be_v put_v for_o god_n displeasure_n for_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o hate_v do_v displease_v we_o and_o in_o this_o sense_n also_o it_o be_v proper_o attribute_v to_o god_n for_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o a_o most_o just_a judge_v to_o disallow_v and_o to_o detest_v evil_a aswell_o as_o to_o allow_v and_o like_v that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o this_o may_v be_v confirm_v by_o two_o reason_n 1_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o he_o that_o love_v to_o hate_v &_o detest_v that_o which_o be_v contrary_a to_o himself_o and_o to_o that_o which_o he_o love_v for_o love_n can_v be_v without_o his_o contrary_n of_o hatred_n and_o therefore_o as_o the_o love_n of_o good_a thing_n do_v proper_o agree_v to_o god_n so_o do_v also_o the_o hatred_n of_o evil_a thing_n 139.21.22_o as_o they_o be_v evil_a 2_o it_o be_v manifest_a by_o david_n that_o it_o be_v no_o less_o virtue_n to_o hate_v the_o evil_a than_o it_o be_v to_o love_v the_o good_a and_o this_o hatred_n of_o sin_n as_o it_o be_v a_o virtue_n and_o a_o perfect_a hatred_n can_v be_v in_o we_o but_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n 1.37_o for_o every_o good_a gift_n be_v from_o above_o etc._n etc._n and_o there_o can_v be_v no_o good_a thing_n in_o we_o but_o it_o be_v first_o in_o god_n after_o a_o more_o perfect_a manner_n than_o it_o be_v in_o us._n who_o god_n do_v hate_n and_o who_o not_o q._n now_o show_v we_o against_o who_o or_o what_o this_o hatred_n of_o god_n be_v bend_v and_o against_o who_o it_o be_v not_o a._n god_n be_v say_v in_o the_o scripture_n to_o have_v hate_v three_o thing_n 1_o the_o reprobate_a before_o they_o be_v create_v 2_o the_o same_o reprobate_n when_o they_o be_v become_v wicked_a and_o ungodly_a 3_o wickedness_n itself_o q._n how_o be_v it_o mean_n that_o god_n shall_v hate_v the_o reprobate_a before_o they_o be_v create_v a._n he_o be_v say_v to_o hate_v they_o even_o before_o the_o world_n be_v not_o simp_o but_o in_o comparison_n of_o the_o elect_a for_o as_o he_o be_v say_v to_o have_v love_v th'elect_a because_o he_o will_v their_o everlasting_a happiness_n so_o he_o be_v say_v to_o have_v hate_v the_o reprobate_n because_o he_o will_v not_o vouchsafe_v they_o the_o same_o happiness_n but_o do_v reject_v they_o to_o eternal_a woe_n and_o that_o in_o his_o just_a judgement_n although_o hide_v from_o us._n q._n how_o be_v god_n say_v to_o hate_v they_o when_o they_o be_v create_v and_o become_v wicked_a man_n a._n two_o way_n first_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o he_o detest_v they_o for_o their_o iniquity_n and_o hatred_n against_o god_n for_o he_o hate_v not_o their_o nature_n which_o he_o make_v himself_o but_o the_o sin_n which_o cleave_v and_o dwell_v in_o their_o nature_n so_o god_n do_v hate_n and_o abhor_v the_o wicked_a themselves_o not_o as_o they_o be_v man_n but_o as_o they_o be_v wicked_a and_o rebellious_a for_o every_o one_o both_o in_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v good_a as_o he_o be_v create_v of_o god_n second_o god_n be_v say_v to_o hate_v the_o wicked_a man_n when_o he_o do_v punish_v their_o impiety_n and_o hatred_n against_o his_o majesty_n with_o many_o plague_n both_o spiritual_a and_o corporal_a both_o temporal_a and_o eternal_a therefore_o the_o psalmist_n after_o he_o have_v say_v thou_o hate_v all_o they_o that_o work_n iniquity_n present_o he_o add_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n 5.5.6_o thou_o shall_v destroy_v they_o that_o speak_v lie_n the_o lord_n will_v abhor_v the_o bloody_a and_o deceitful_a man_n to_o show_v that_o for_o god_n to_o inflict_v punishment_n upon_o the_o reprobate_n and_o ungodlye_a be_v to_o hate_v they_o and_o to_o hate_v they_o be_v to_o destroy_v they_o q._n how_o may_v it_o appear_v that_o god_n hate_v iniquity_n a._n that_o be_v most_o clear_a for_o he_o do_v destroy_v it_o in_o the_o reprobate_n by_o eternal_a condemnation_n and_o he_o do_v take_v it_o from_o the_o elect_a by_o justification_n yea_o he_o do_v so_o hate_v sin_n that_o to_o take_v it_o away_o from_o his_o elect_a and_o choose_a child_n he_o have_v lay_v it_o upon_o his_o own_o son_n jesus_n christ_n and_o have_v condemn_v it_o in_o his_o flesh_n as_o esay_n say_v 53.5.4_o whereby_o god_n have_v show_v not_o only_o unspeakable_a love_n towards_o his_o elect_a
