to_o our_o understanding_n god_n be_v please_v with_o we_o this_o hour_n and_o not_o that_o hour_n but_o you_o must_v come_v up_o high_o to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n that_o he_o be_v the_o same_o to_o day_n and_o for_o ever_o here_o he_o plain_o deny_v the_o pleasure_n or_o displeasure_n of_o god_n for_o this_o or_o or_o that_o act_n and_o hereupon_o he_o bring_v forth_o this_o subtlety_n that_o god_n be_v displease_v with_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o people_n but_o not_o with_o his_o people_n for_o sin_n of_o which_o people_n he_o exact_v so_o much_o explanation_n as_o that_o they_o be_v in_o christ_n as_o if_o we_o conceive_v god_n people_n out_o of_o christ_n but_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o he_o exact_v more_o viz._n we_o mean_v such_o a_o people_n as_o be_v in_o the_o covenant_n

wise_a 1_o when_o we_o affirm_v that_o god_n be_v displease_v or_o angry_a we_o speak_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n for_o god_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o passion_n answ_n to_o say_v that_o god_n be_v angry_a be_v speak_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n yet_o dispeasure_n be_v no_o passion_n but_o agree_v with_o god_n in_o the_o high_a perfection_n of_o his_o nature_n for_o god_n be_v

answ_n god_n love_n be_v not_o oppose_v to_o his_o displeasure_n but_o to_o hatred_n yea_o the_o more_o love_v the_o more_o displeasure_n when_o we_o sin_n against_o love_n this_o in_o parent_n be_v

of_o hatred_n 4_o so_o far_o as_o the_o child_n of_o god_n live_v off_o from_o christ_n and_o walk_v unworthy_a of_o the_o gospel_n so_o far_o they_o lie_v under_o the_o sense_n of_o wrath_n insomuch_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o scourge_v every_o son_n who_o he_o love_v it_o be_v impossible_a that_o a_o man_n shall_v have_v peace_n in_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n answ_n here_o he_o

soul_n and_o if_o we_o must_v apprehend_v the_o lord_n displeasure_n he_o be_v real_o displease_v except_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o apprehend_v a_o falsehood_n many_o time_n the_o saint_n apprehend_v displeasure_n when_o god_n be_v please_v but_o they_o be_v never_o bind_v so_o to_o do_v but_o when_o god_n be_v actual_o displease_v therefore_o it_o do_v necessary_o follow_v that_o if_o there_o be_v no_o peace_n in_o the_o way_n of_o sin_n god_n must_v needs_o be_v displease_v with_o his_o people_n for_o sin_n 5_o the_o five_o paragraph_n be_v answer_v in_o the_o former_a 6_o the_o sixth_o
