be_v they_o that_o know_v christ_n and_o have_v of_o the_o grace_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o here_o i_o must_v needs_o say_v once_o again_o if_o god_n be_v holy_a because_o he_o love_v good_a man_n which_o be_v his_o choice_a workmanship_n then_o so_o be_v the_o saint_n therein_o holy_a also_o for_o they_o love_v wonderful_o that_o choice_n master_n piece_n christ_n and_o all_o the_o saint_n which_o be_v his_o workmanship_n create_v in_o christ_n jesus_n unto_o good_a work_n eph._n 2.10_o and_o so_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o contraries_n as_o it_o be_v say_v psalm_n 45.7_o by_o way_n of_o prophesy_n and_o mystical_o of_o christ_n thou_o love_v righteousness_n and_o hate_v wickedness_n &c._n &c._n god_n must_v needs_o hate_v sin_n with_o a_o infinite_a hatred_n for_o he_o love_v the_o rectitude_n of_o the_o eternal_a law_n and_o therefore_o hate_v what_o be_v contrary_a to_o it_o for_o the_o sinfullnes_n of_o sin_n be_v its_o contrariety_n to_o god_n eternal_a law_n and_o then_o second_o god_n necessary_o love_v his_o own_o goodness_n and_o perfection_n and_o therefore_o necessary_o hate_v sin_n which_o be_v contrary_a and_o repugnant_a to_o that_o goodness_n repugnant_a i_o say_v not_o as_o one_o form_n to_o another_o but_o as_o a_o inordinate_a thing_n to_o its_o rule_n and_o measure_n keep_v sin_n up_o and_o god_n must_v go_v down_o keep_v god_n up_o and_o sin_n must_v go_v down_o you_o may_v as_o well_o expect_v to_o see_v the_o ocean_n sea_n burn_v to_o ash_n or_o stone_n to_o fly_v upward_o as_o look_v to_o see_v a_o union_n between_o god_n and_o sin_n or_o that_o god_n shall_v not_o look_v upon_o it_o with_o high_a indignation_n what_o sin_n be_v you_o shall_v find_v in_o every_o catechism_n almost_o it_o be_v the_o transgression_n of_o the_o holy_a law_n of_o god_n even_o the_o least_o sin_n do_v turn_v aside_o god_n love_n and_o because_o he_o be_v holy_a it_o make_v his_o very_a soul_n to_o hate_v the_o person_n in_o who_o it_o be_v sin_n be_v like_a coloquintida_n in_o the_o pot_n and_o this_o i_o must_v tell_v you_o that_o when_o god_n smell_n it_o he_o can_v but_o throw_v away_o pot_n and_o all_o it_o be_v so_o contrary_a to_o his_o holiness_n where_o ever_o god_n see_v sin_n he_o run_v at_o it_o present_o if_o his_o own_o son_n do_v but_o stand_v in_o the_o sinner_n steed_n though_o he_o have_v no_o sin_n of_o his_o own_o yet_o you_o see_v how_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n run_v out_o against_o he_o and_o the_o reason_n be_v god_n love_n of_o his_o law_n which_o be_v his_o holiness_n of_o which_o sin_n be_v the_o transgression_n and_o upon_o this_o account_n god_n must_v needs_o hate_v it_o and_o this_o david_n a_o man_n of_o much_o acquaintance_n with_o god_n tell_v we_o psalm_n 5.4_o 5._o for_o thou_o be_v not_o a_o god_n that_o have_v pleasure_n in_o wickedness_n neither_o shall_v evil_a dwell_v with_o thou_o the_o foolish_a shall_v not_o stand_v in_o thy_o sight_n thou_o hate_v all_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n and_o so_o isaiah_n 1.24_o ah_o say_v the_o lord_n i_o will_v ease_v i_o of_o my_o adversary_n and_o avenge_v i_o of_o my_o enemy_n by_o which_o word_n the_o prophet_n mean_v that_o god_n

will_v satisfy_v himself_o in_o chastise_v his_o enemy_n as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o recompense_n and_o because_o this_o holiness_n of_o god_n do_v so_o glorious_a shine-out_a in_o his_o hate_v of_o sin_n which_o be_v contrary_a both_o to_o his_o eternal_a law_n &_o working_n in_o both_o church_n and_o world_n and_o also_o to_o the_o act_n of_o saint_n act_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o

see_v a_o all-mercifull_a god_n to_o deprive_v man_n and_o angel_n of_o such_o a_o infinite_a good_a as_o himself_o sin_n evidence_n of_o god_n hate_v sin_n certain_o you_o must_v suppose_v there_o be_v some_o great_a cause_n &_o reason_n for_o it_o why_o the_o fruition_n of_o god_n be_v the_o great_a good_a and_o angel_n and_o man_n be_v his_o most_o excellent_a creature_n yet_o such_o be_v god_n holiness_n cause_v his_o hatred_n of_o sin_n that_o he_o tumble_v man_n out_o of_o paradise_n and_o angel_n out_o of_o heaven_n here_o be_v one_o evidence_n of_o god_n hatred_n of_o sin_n and_o
