we_o and_o be_v visible_o see_v therefore_o except_o thou_o love_v the_o saint_n which_o thou_o see_v holiness_n in_o except_o thou_o see_v thy_o heart_n inward_o to_o love_v they_o with_o a_o natural_a affection_n as_o it_o be_v that_o thou_o love_v they_o whether_o thou_o will_v or_o no_o thou_o do_v but_o pretend_v again_o do_v thou_o love_v christ_n be_v thou_o willing_a to_o part_v with_o any_o thing_n for_o his_o sake_n love_n be_v bountiful_a thou_o say_v thou_o love_v god_n what_o if_o he_o will_v have_v some_o of_o thy_o wealth_n what_o if_o he_o will_v have_v thy_o credit_n what_o if_o he_o will_v have_v thy_o liberty_n for_o his_o sake_n if_o thou_o love_v he_o thou_o will_v be_v content_a to_o do_v it_o therefore_o consider_v if_o faith_n have_v beget_v such_o a_o

other_o be_v capable_a of_o you_o know_v the_o devil_n believe_v and_o tremble_v he_o say_v not_o the_o devil_n believe_v and_o hope_n for_o that_o they_o do_v not_o hope_n be_v a_o property_n of_o faith_n where_o there_o be_v faith_n there_o be_v hope_n now_o you_o must_v know_v that_o a_o man_n have_v never_o faith_n to_o believe_v but_o he_o have_v hope_n which_o make_v he_o expect_v what_o he_o believe_v if_o a_o man_n have_v a_o promise_n of_o so_o much_o money_n which_o he_o needs_o he_o hope_v for_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o and_o quiet_v himself_o when_o he_o cast_v his_o thought_n upon_o it_o he_o be_v at_o rest_n when_o a_o man_n believe_v it_o he_o hope_v for_o it_o take_v a_o heir_n that_o have_v such_o possession_n which_o be_v yet_o a_o ward_n and_o be_v young_a he_o have_v not_o the_o land_n in_o possession_n but_o mark_n what_o hope_v he_o have_v it_o be_v not_o a_o vain_a hope_n but_o such_o a_o hope_n as_o put_v other_o conceit_n in_o he_o then_o other_o man_n have_v put_v another_o fashion_n upon_o his_o action_n it_o make_v he_o neglect_v many_o good_a thing_n he_o will_v do_v he_o will_v not_o be_v of_o such_o a_o calling_n he_o will_v not_o be_v diligent_a for_o he_o hope_v he_o make_v account_n of_o it_o see_v how_o such_o thing_n work_v upon_o a_o man_n which_o he_o be_v not_o to_o have_v in_o 7_o or_o 8_o year_n after_o perhaps_o so_o thou_o hope_v for_o heaven_n it_o be_v not_o a_o vain_a hope_n but_o it_o be_v a_o hope_n that_o will_v ma●e_n thou_o carry_v thyself_o after_o another_o fashion_n it_o will_v make_v thou_o so_o mind_v that_o thou_o will_v have_v a_o eye_n to_o it_o and_o every_o man_n that_o look_v on_o ●hee_o may_v see_v that_o thou_o have_v a_o eye_n to_o it_o so_o that_o faith_n be_v accompany_v by_o hope_n but_o now_o you_o must_v not_o say_v that_o if_o a_o man_n hope_v therefore_o there_o be_v no_o fear_n mingle_v with_o it_o for_o you_o must_v know_v that_o a_o man_n may_v have_v hope_n that_o be_v true_a and_o good_a and_o yet_o may_v have_v fear_v mingle_v with_o it_o for_o this_o you_o must_v know_v that_o if_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o hope_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o that_o hope_n be_v not_o good_a and_o therefore_o thou_o have_v so_o little_a reason_n to_o be_v discourage_v because_o thou_o have_v some_o fear_n mingle_v with_o thy_o hope_n that_o thou_o have_v the_o more_o cause_n to_o hope_n and_o to_o think_v that_o thy_o hope_n be_v good_a because_o there_o be_v fear_v mingle_v with_o it_o for_o know_v that_o there_o be_v a_o certain_a sort_n of_o man_n that_o have_v neither_o faith_n hope_n nor_o fear_n as_o atheist_n that_o have_v some_o hope_n but_o no_o fear_n as_o devil_n and_o desperate_a man_n that_o have_v some_o fear_n but_o no_o hope_n as_o presumptuous_a man_n which_o have_v but_o a_o shadow_n of_o faith_n but_o those_o that_o have_v hope_n and_o fear_v mingle_v with_o it_o that_o be_v those_o may_v rather_o hope_v that_o that_o hope_v which_o they_o have_v they_o may_v be_v so_o much_o the_o more_o confirm_v in_o it_o because_o they_o have_v some_o fear_n mingle_v with_o it_o therefore_o consider_v whether_o thou_o have_v hope_n or_o no_o consider_v in_o what_o manner_n it_o be_v join_v with_o faith_n when_o thou_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v thou_o that_o heaven_n be_v thou_o that_o thy_o sin_n be_v forgive_v and_o that_o thou_o be_v a_o son_n of_o god_n but_o these_o thing_n thou_o have_v not_o yet_o thou_o be_v as_o any_o other_o man_n there_o be_v no_o difference_n between_o thou_o and_o they_o thou_o have_v no_o

that_o hear_v this_o doctrine_n of_o faith_n it_o may_v be_v it_o have_v be_v burdensome_a unto_o you_o it_o may_v be_v it_o be_v a_o thing_n you_o care_v not_o for_o to_o hear_v of_o justification_n and_o forgiveness_n of_o sin_n they_o be_v thing_n at_o the_o least_o that_o it_o may_v be_v you_o take_v no_o great_a pain_n for_o you_o do_v not_o study_v they_o you_o do_v not_o prize_v they_o

therefore_o consider_v whether_o thou_o have_v such_o a_o faith_n or_o no_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o certain_o thou_o have_v not_o faith_n and_o it_o be_v a_o sure_a sign_n that_o will_v not_o

nothing_o be_v more_o frequent_a my_o brethren_n than_o to_o be_v humble_v for_o some_o sin_n which_o amaze_v you_o for_o the_o present_a but_o do_v your_o hatred_n continue_v if_o not_o you_o do_v

they_o again_o if_o you_o do_v hate_v they_o as_o you_o shall_v you_o will_v never_o return_v to_o amity_n with_o they_o more_o many_o a_o man_n take_v resolution_n to_o himself_o i_o will_v be_v

for_o a_o other_o trial_n of_o your_o love_n again_o there_o be_v one_o more_o which_o we_o can_v leave_v out_o saint_n though_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n know_v unto_o you_o yet_o because_o the_o

yet_o love_v not_o thy_o brother_n who_o thou_o have_v see_v the_o meaning_n be_v this_o for_o a_o man_n to_o love_v the_o lord_n who_o be_v immortal_a invisible_a who_o dwell_v in_o light_n inaccessible_a be_v a_o more_o difficult_a thing_n than_o to_o love_v thy_o brother_n who_o thou_o see_v for_o why_o do_v we_o love_v the_o lord_n but_o because_o we_o conceive_v he_o under_o such_o a_o notion_n we_o think_v of_o he_o as_o such_o a_o god_n have_v such_o and_o such_o attribute_n now_o say_v the_o apostle_n whatsoever_o thou_o conceive_v of_o god_n that_o very_a image_n and_o disposition_n be_v stamp_v on_o man_n like_o thyself_o thou_o shall_v see_v the_o very_a same_o disposition_n in_o a_o holy_a man_n that_o be_v in_o the_o lord_n himself_o indeed_o it_o differ_v in_o the_o degree_n exceed_o there_o be_v but_o a_o glimpse_n of_o it_o yet_o why_o be_v it_o say_v that_o the_o image_n of_o god_n be_v renew_v but_o that_o there_o be_v in_o holy_a man_n a_o disposition_n like_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n now_o this_o be_v in_o a_o more_o remiss_a degree_n in_o man_n and_o therefore_o more_o suitable_a to_o our_o weakness_n as_o you_o know_v difficulty_n come_v from_o disproportion_n it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n to_o love_v the_o lord_n than_o a_o man_n like_o ourselves_o if_o therefore_o we_o do_v not_o love_v man_n like_o ourselves_o in_o who_o be_v stamp_v a_o disposition_n like_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n and_o his_o image_n in_o some_o degree_n sure_o we_o can_v love_v the_o lord_n who_o be_v so_o far_o above_o we_o again_o a_o man_n like_o ourselves_o be_v visible_a we_o see_v his_o action_n we_o hear_v he_o speak_v we_o know_v more_o plain_o the_o frame_n of_o his_o disposition_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v more_o easy_a to_o love_v a_o holy_a man_n than_o to_o love_v the_o lord_n for_o so_o be_v the_o apostle_n argument_n do_v not_o think_v that_o thou_o love_v the_o lord_n who_o thou_o never_o see_v when_o thou_o do_v not_o love_v thy_o brother_n who_o thou_o see_v daily_a therefore_o we_o may_v conclude_v thus_o much_o if_o we_o love_v not_o the_o saint_n and_o holy_a man_n it_o be_v certain_a we_o love_v not_o the_o lord_n i_o confess_v every_o man_n be_v ready_a to_o say_v in_o this_o case_n he_o love_v holy_a man_n i_o will_v put_v you_o to_o this_o trial_n man_n and_o ask_v you_o but_o this_o question_n you_o shall_v know_v it_o by_o this_o do_v you_o love_v all_o the_o saint_n you_o shall_v find_v that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n still_o in_o his_o epistle_n put_v in_o that_o caution_n love_n to_o all_o the_o saint_n if_o thou_o love_v grace_n and_o holiness_n thou_o will_v love_v it_o wheresoever_o it_o be_v many_o man_n will_v love_v some_o particular_a grace_n especial_o when_o it_o suit_v with_o their_o disposition_n and_o be_v agreeable_a to_o they_o and_o to_o their_o constitution_n but_o to_o love_v all_o grace_n to_o love_v all_o holiness_n in_o all_o the_o saint_n wheresoever_o it_o be_v find_v it_o be_v a_o infallible_a sign_n that_o thou_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n again_o do_v thou_o love_v none_o but_o they_o that_o where_o grace_n be_v thou_o love_v and_o where_o it_o be_v not_o thou_o withdrawe_v thy_o love_n but_o you_o will_v say_v will_v you_o have_v we_o to_o love_v none_o but_o the_o saint_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a we_o ought_v to_o love_v all_o other_o with_o a_o love_n of_o pity_n we_o shall_v show_v abundance_n of_o this_o love_n to_o all_o mankind_n but_o then_o there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o complacency_n and_o delight_n and_o with_o this_o love_n we_o ought_v to_o love_v none_o but_o the_o saint_n again_o three_o do_v you_o love_v they_o as_o they_o excel_v in_o holiness_n many_o man_n can_v love_v one_o that_o have_v but_o some_o degree_n of_o grace_n but_o if_o it_o be_v one_o that_o have_v more_o exactness_n than_o ordinary_a that_o have_v proceed_v high_a in_o holiness_n than_o he_o think_v requisite_a here_o his_o heart_n be_v ready_a to_o quarrel_v and_o to_o rise_v against_o he_o last_o do_v you_o manifest_v your_o love_n by_o delight_v in_o their_o company_n and_o by_o the_o fruit_n of_o love_n towards_o they_o you_o may_v profess_v much_o and_o say_v much_o but_o of_o all_o other_o thing_n company_n be_v the_o worst_a dissemble_v will_v you_o profess_v that_o you_o love_v the_o saint_n and_o that_o you_o

that_o will_v be_v a_o very_a profitable_a thing_n for_o we_o in_o this_o case_n often_o to_o think_v on_o the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o present_v he_o to_o ourselves_o in_o our_o thought_n as_o the_o

the_o rule_n that_o god_n have_v appoint_v the_o creature_n and_o the_o perfection_n of_o every_o creature_n be_v in_o come_v near_o to_o the_o rule_n now_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v appoint_v this_o

those_o that_o love_v the_o praise_n of_o man_n more_o than_o god_n those_o that_o love_n wealth_n more_o than_o god_n you_o see_v how_o they_o be_v exclude_v you_o shall_v see_v what_o it_o be_v what_o not_o to_o love_v the_o praise_n of_o man_n more_o than_o god_n it_o be_v this_o when_o they_o come_v together_o at_o some_o time_n in_o competition_n as_o they_o will_v ever_o and_o anon_o

you_o have_v now_o if_o pleasure_n and_o sport_n and_o recreation_n shall_v come_v in_o and_o allure_v you_o and_o call_v you_o to_o draw_v you_o away_o to_o spend_v time_n amiss_o now_o they_o come_v in_o competition_n if_o you_o do_v this_o ordinary_o you_o be_v lover_n of_o pleasure_n more_o than_o lover_n of_o god_n so_o again_o god_n have_v command_v thou_o that_o thou_o shall_v not_o commit_v

and_o thy_o lust_n thy_o pleasure_n or_o thy_o profit_n come_v in_o competition_n when_o thou_o shall_v in_o thy_o ordinary_a course_n be_v ready_a to_o prefer_v that_o before_o he_o thou_o love_v

make_v yourselves_o new_a creature_n express_v your_o diligence_n therefore_o in_o labour_v to_o adorn_v your_o heart_n with_o grace_n that_o the_o lord_n may_v take_v a_o delight_n to_o dwell_v in_o you_o be_v diligent_a also_o in_o cleanse_v yourselves_o from_o all_o pollution_n of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n that_o when_o the_o lord_n come_v he_o may_v find_v no_o sluttish_a corner_n within_o you_o for_o the_o lord_n hate_v these_o as_o the_o israelite_n be_v to_o go_v with_o a_o paddle_v and_o cover_v every_o filthy_a thing_n because_o say_v the_o text_n the_o lord_n walk_v among_o you_o so_o must_v we_o do_v keep_v our_o heart_n clean_o if_o we_o will_v have_v the_o lord_n delight_n to_o dwell_v with_o we_o we_o must_v be_v diligent_a to_o remove_v out_o of_o his_o sight_n whatsoever_o he_o hate_v commandment_n last_o we_o must_v be_v diligent_a in_o keep_v his_o command_n will_v thou_o say_v thou_o love_v god_n and_o yet_o do_v disobey_v he_o and_o rebell_a against_o

that_o do_v most_o love_v most_o and_o so_o you_o see_v the_o condition_n that_o be_v require_v in_o this_o love_n what_o a_o kind_n of_o love_n it_o be_v that_o god_n will_v have_v at_o your_o hand_n

this_o love_n you_o be_v not_o in_o christ_n because_o and_o so_o you_o shall_v be_v exclude_v let_v no_o man_n think_v that_o this_o be_v exaction_n that_o it_o be_v a_o hard_a thing_n that_o the_o

the_o poor_a man_n may_v have_v object_v he_o have_v not_o where_o withal_o if_o he_o have_v require_v we_o to_o fight_v battle_n give_v the_o weak_a man_n may_v have_v say_v he_o can_v not_o do_v it_o he_o be_v not_o able_a but_o now_o young_a and_o old_a rich_a and_o poor_a all_o can_v love_v beside_o if_o we_o consider_v who_o it_o be_v that_o require_v this_o love_n thing_n be_v it_o not_o the_o great_a god_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n be_v it_o not_o the_o son_n if_o he_o have_v command_v thou_o the_o hard_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n if_o he_o have_v say_v thou_o shall_v cast_v thyself_o into_o the_o fire_n thou_o shall_v sacrifice_v child_n to_o i_o you_o be_v his_o creature_n and_o you_o must_v obey_v he_o but_o when_o he_o require_v this_o only_a at_o thy_o hand_n to_o love_v he_o be_v it_o not_o equal_a beside_o benefit_n when_o he_o require_v this_o it_o be_v for_o your_o benefit_n for_o when_o you_o have_v give_v the_o lord_n your_o heart_n the_o lord_n give_v

the_o lord_n give_v you_o your_o heart_n back_o again_o when_o you_o have_v bestow_v they_o upon_o he_o and_o withal_o he_o give_v you_o leave_v to_o b●stow_v they_o upon_o other_o thing_n to_o love_v all_o thing_n that_o you_o may_v and_o aught_o to_o love_n and_o which_o be_v good_a for_o you_o to_o love_v therefore_o the_o lord_n may_v require_v it_o upon_o this_o penalty_n for_o he_o ask_v but_o his_o own_o and_o what_o he_o have_v deserve_v at_o thy_o hand_n therefore_o it_o be_v a_o most_o reasonable_a and_o equal_a request_n for_o what_o do_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n require_v of_o thou_o say_v moses_n but_o only_o that_o you_o love_v the_o lord_n your_o god_n so_o i_o say_v to_o you_o what_o else_o do_v the_o lord_n your_o god_n require_v of_o you_o lord_n but_o again_o know_v this_o that_o as_o it_o be_v a_o command_n full_a of_o equity_n and_o reasonableness_n so_o the_o danger_n be_v the_o great_a if_o you_o do_v it_o it_o not_o and_o what_o that_o be_v i_o will_v show_v

that_o be_v the_o place_n i_o will_v have_v you_o consider_v that_o now_o when_o you_o have_v be_v acquaint_v with_o this_o whole_a doctrine_n of_o love_n you_o may_v know_v the_o danger_n of_o not_o

curse_n but_o what_o be_v that_o to_o be_v curse_v what_o my_o brethren_n to_o be_v curse_v be_v to_o be_v separate_v to_o be_v set_v apart_o or_o appoint_v unto_o evil_a so_o that_o all_o that_o love_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n they_o be_v man_n separate_v and_o set_v apart_o to_o evil_a so_o that_o no_o man_n may_v meddle_v with_o they_o no_o man_n may_v touch_v they_o to_o do_v they_o

the_o meaning_n be_v this_o he_o be_v set_v apart_o seclude_v from_o all_o good_a thing_n that_o none_o be_v to_o meddle_v with_o he_o he_o be_v set_v apart_o for_o evil_a all_o thing_n shall_v concur_v together_o to_o do_v he_o hurt_v this_o be_v when_o the_o lord_n curse_v any_o man_n and_o this_o be_v the_o case_n of_o every_o man_n that_o love_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n our_o
