of_o chaff_n preserve_v from_o burn_v be_v it_o not_o because_o there_o be_v some_o corn_n some_o wheat_n mix_v therewith_o if_o the_o corn_n be_v once_o out_o will_v not_o the_o lord_n as_o man_n

if_o it_o be_v zeal_n that_o turn_v away_o the_o lord_n wrath_n time_n then_o where_o be_v the_o zeal_n that_o shall_v be_v among_o we_o be_v we_o not_o rather_o fall_v into_o those_o late_a time_n the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o which_o shall_v have_v a_o form_n of_o religion_n without_o the_o zeal_n and_o power_n and_o life_n of_o it_o and_o if_o zeal_n turn_v away_o god_n wrath_n certain_o

again_o lord_n do_v zeal_n turn_v away_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n then_o where_o be_v our_o zealous_a affection_n why_o be_v we_o not_o zealous_a for_o the_o lord_n and_o zealous_a against_o

in_o rom._n 12.11_o they_o be_v put_v together_o be_v fervent_a in_o spirit_n and_o serve_v the_o lord_n imply_v that_o the_o lord_n respect_v no_o service_n but_o as_o it_o be_v join_v with_o

but_o you_o must_v run_v the_o way_n of_o god_n commandment_n and_o as_o you_o must_v be_v zealous_a for_o he_o sin_n so_o you_o must_v be_v zealous_a against_o evil_n for_o you_o must_v know_v this_o and_o mark_v it_o well_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o to_o abstain_v from_o sin_n it_o be_v not_o that_o alone_a that_o god_n will_v accept_v but_o he_o look_v that_o you_o shall_v hate_v sin_n as_o it_o

be_v so_o perhaps_o you_o be_v angry_a with_o sin_n but_o zeal_n you_o know_v be_v a_o intention_n of_o the_o affection_n of_o hatred_n and_o it_o be_v require_v that_o you_o hate_v sin_n revel_v 2.6_o this_o thou_o have_v that_o thou_o hate_v the_o work_n of_o the_o nicolaitan_o which_o i_o also_o hate_n you_o will_v say_v how_o do_v they_o differ_v you_o shall_v know_v hatred_n by_o this_o first_o it_o be_v a_o constant_a affection_n it_o abide_v with_o we_o anger_n go_v away_o as_o all_o passion_n do_v it_o be_v but_o for_o a_o fit_a for_o a_o flash_n on_o some_o occasion_n species_n again_o hatred_n be_v always_o of_o general_n the_o sheep_n hate_v all_o wolf_n we_o hate_v all_o toad_n all_o serpent_n i_o say_v wheresoever_o there_o be_v hatred_n it_o turn_v to_o the_o whole_a

soever_o they_o be_v last_o hatred_n seek_v the_o utter_a destruction_n of_o the_o thing_n hate_v ●arkes_n anger_n will_v have_v but_o a_o proportion_n of_o justice_n as_o aristotle_n say_v now_o be_v it_o so_o with_o you_o do_v you_o seek_v the_o utter_a destruction_n of_o sin_n abstain_v not_o only_a from_o gross_a sin_n but_o from_o all_o dalliance_n from_o the_o least_o touch_n of_o sin_n cleanse_v yourselves_o from_o all_o pollusion_n of_o the_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n if_o you_o will_v be_v zealous_a for_o the_o lord_n then_o know_v that_o this_o be_v require_v that_o you_o not_o only_o do_v thing_n but_o that_o you_o do_v they_o zealous_o that_o you_o not_o only_o abstain_v from_o sin_n but_o that_o you_o hate_v it_o again_o truth_n if_o it_o be_v zeal_n that_o turn_v away_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o lord_n then_o where_o be_v our_o boldness_n our_o courage_n our_o forwardness_n for_o the_o truth_n why_o be_v we_o so_o fearful_a and_o rich_a of_o do_v the_o thing_n that_o

but_o you_o will_v say_v object_n a_o man_n may_v be_v too_o bold_a it_o be_v very_o true_a boldness_n when_o the_o horse_n run_v up_o and_o down_o and_o be_v at_o liberty_n

master_n you_o must_v take_v he_o for_o your_o husband_n so_o as_o to_o be_v divorce_v from_o all_o other_o lover_n for_o this_o know_v that_o christ_n and_o good_a fellowship_n that_o christ_n and_o

if_o you_o will_v have_v christ_n you_o must_v take_v he_o as_o a_o husband_n to_o be_v to_o he_o a_o love_n to_o love_v he_o to_o have_v your_o will_n subject_a to_o his_o will_n you_o must_v take_v

thus_o you_o shall_v have_v he_o and_o when_o you_o shall_v have_v he_o you_o shall_v have_v all_o thing_n with_o he_o as_o christ_n say_v to_o his_o father_n we_o be_v one_o thou_o in_o i_o and_o i_o in_o thou_o and_o then_o all_o i_o be_v thou_o and_o thou_o be_v i_o so_o we_o may_v say_v every_o one_o that_o take_v christ_n be_v make_v one_o with_o he_o all_o christ_n be_v you_o and_o you_o be_v
