a_o misguide_a zeal_n which_o as_o it_o be_v very_o hot_a so_o it_o be_v very_o pernicious_a answ_n my_o answer_n to_o this_o shall_v be_v by_o way_n of_o further_a zeal_n symptom_n of_o true_a zeal_n discovery_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o zeal_n and_o first_o true_a zeal_n have_v ever_o knowledge_n as_o its_o guide_n and_o fanctity_n of_o life_n as_o its_o attendant_n and_o fruit_n and_o he_o that_o have_v a_o good_a mixture_n of_o zeal_n and_o knowledge_n so_o that_o his_o zeal_n do_v quicken_v his_o knowledge_n and_o his_o knowledge_n do_v guide_v his_o zeal_n be_v like_o a_o ship_n well_o ballast_v that_o sail_n with_o a_o prosperous_a gale_n knowledge_n without_o zeal_n puff_v a_o man_n up_o and_o zeal_n without_o knowledge_n be_v like_o the_o devil_n in_o the_o possess_v which_o cast_v he_o sometime_o into_o the_o fire_n and_o sometime_o into_o the_o water_n such_o be_v the_o zeal_n of_o paul_n before_o his_o conversion_n such_o be_v the_o zeal_n of_o the_o jew_n of_o who_o saint_n paul_n speak_v rom._n 10._o 2._o that_o they_o have_v a_o zeal_n but_o not_o according_a to_o knowledge_n then_o true_a zeal_n have_v ever_o sanctity_n as_o its_o fruit_n for_o as_o zeal_n without_o knowledge_n be_v frantic_a so_o without_o knowledge_n it_o be_v hypocritical_a sympt_n 2_o 2._o we_o may_v know_v true_a zeal_n by_o its_o original_n it_o arise_v from_o a_o heart_n replenish_v with_o flame_n of_o love_n to_o christ_n which_o as_o they_o be_v at_o the_o first_o kindle_v by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n so_o be_v they_o afterward_o blow_v and_o continue_v by_o it_o but_o there_o be_v another_o kind_n of_o zeal_n which_o arise_v from_o a_o heart_n distemper_v with_o passion_n the_o former_a be_v a_o constant_a and_o permanent_a heat_n like_o that_o on_o the_o altar_n or_o like_o the_o vestal_a fire_n which_o be_v always_o keep_v burn_v the_o other_o be_v but_o like_o a_o flash_n which_o arise_v from_o some_o sudden_a turbulent_a passion_n which_o be_v spend_v it_o die_v the_o best_a man_n be_v sometime_o subject_a to_o such_o distemper_n thus_o james_n and_o john_n when_o they_o will_v needs_o have_v fire_n command_v from_o heaven_n to_o consume_v those_o that_o deny_v entertainment_n to_o our_o saviour_n be_v rebuke_v for_o their_o zeal_n by_o our_o saviour_n luke_n 9_o thus_o many_o do_v undertake_v a_o good_a cause_n rather_o out_o of_o faction_n and_o humour_n or_o out_o of_o hatred_n to_o a_o person_n than_o love_n to_o christ_n or_o zeal_n to_o the_o truth_n sympt_n 3_o three_o as_o you_o may_v know_v true_a zeal_n from_o its_o beginning_n so_o from_o its_o aim_n and_o end_v too_o true_a zeal_n ever_o aim_v at_o god_n glory_n and_o the_o advancement_n of_o true_a religion_n whereas_o if_o you_o separate_v the_o zeal_n of_o most_o man_n from_o colaterall_a by-respect_n from_o vainglory_n profit_n revenge_n and_o the_o like_a you_o shall_v have_v it_o faint_a and_o flag_n and_o at_o length_n whole_o desist_v one_o will_v have_v think_v the_o zeal_n of_o jehu_n to_o have_v out_o strip_v josiah_n in_o vindicate_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o yet_o what_o jehu_n do_v it_o be_v think_v be_v rather_o out_o of_o some_o respect_n of_o his_o own_o for_o establish_v the_o crown_n on_o his_o own_o head_n or_o for_o revenge_n or_o the_o like_a for_o it_o be_v say_v of_o jehu_n 2_o king_n 10._o 31._o that_o jehu_n take_v no_o heed_n to_o walk_v in_o the_o law_n of_o the_o lord_n god_n of_o israel_n with_o all_o his_o heart_n for_o he_o depart_v not_o from_o the_o sin_n of_o jeroboam_n that_o make_v israel_n to_o sin_n this_o be_v it_o that_o deceive_v many_o they_o think_v that_o they_o be_v true_o zealous_a because_o they_o do_v good_a duty_n
