and_o therefore_o to_o try_v thou_o in_o this_o give_v i_o god_n leave_v to_o ask_v thou_o but_o a_o few_o question_n 1_o do_v thou_o not_o hate_v the_o law_n do_v thou_o not_o wish_v that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o so_o strict_a and_o that_o it_o give_v more_o liberty_n let_v a_o unregenerate_a man_n try_v himself_o by_o this_o and_o he_o will_v find_v such_o a_o disposition_n in_o he_o that_o he_o desire_v that_o the_o law_n will_v give_v he_o leave_v to_o commit_v such_o and_o such_o a_o sin_n he_o esteem_v of_o the_o law_n as_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o he_o and_o therefore_o their_o complaint_n of_o godly_a man_n be_v that_o their_o way_n be_v contrary_a to_o we_o in_o the_o book_n of_o wisdom_n what_o way_n the_o way_n of_o the_o law_n for_o where_o be_v contrariety_n there_o be_v hatred_n and_o if_o they_o hate_v the_o law_n they_o hate_v the_o lawgiver_n god_n for_o the_o law_n be_v the_o express_a image_n of_o god_n 2._o again_o i_o will_v ask_v thou_o if_o this_o be_v not_o also_o thy_o disposition_n that_o thou_o have_v no_o great_a delight_n to_o be_v where_o the_o lord_n be_v thou_o have_v not_o any_o delight_n in_o holy_a duty_n otherwise_o than_o as_o custom_n and_o natural_a conscience_n have_v make_v they_o familiar_a to_o thou_o nor_o to_o be_v in_o the_o company_n of_o the_o saint_n for_o where_o two_o or_o three_o of_o they_o be_v there_o god_n be_v among_o they_o but_o when_o thou_o be_v among_o they_o thou_o be_v as_o it_o be_v out_o of_o thy_o element_n if_o they_o be_v such_o as_o be_v formal_a like_o thyself_o thou_o can_v away_o with_o they_o but_o if_o they_o be_v holy_a and_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n appear_v in_o they_o thou_o delight_v not_o in_o they_o thou_o can_v it_o may_v be_v be_v among_o the_o saint_n if_o they_o hold_v their_o tongue_n but_o let_v god_n shine_v in_o they_o than_o thou_o can_v not_o endure_v to_o be_v there_o 3_o again_o do_v thou_o hate_v those_o that_o be_v like_o the_o lord_n for_o if_o thou_o do_v thou_o hate_v the_o lord_n himself_o for_o as_o we_o try_v our_o love_n to_o the_o lord_n by_o our_o love_n to_o the_o brethren_n so_o our_o hatred_n also_o be_v there_o a_o secret_a dislike_n of_o they_o though_o thou_o know_v not_o why_o a_o antipathy_n though_o happy_o thou_o can_v not_o give_v a_o reason_n of_o it_o it_o be_v because_o god_n have_v put_v a_o enmity_n and_o there_o no_o man_n can_v put_v amity_n all_o endowment_n sweetness_n of_o converse_n and_o disposition_n eminency_n of_o part_n in_o the_o saint_n will_v not_o take_v away_o the_o enmity_n that_o be_v in_o wicked_a man_n against_o they_o david_n be_v a_o poet_n a_o soldier_n a_o man_n of_o excellent_a part_n wise_a and_o valiant_a yet_o have_v abundance_n of_o hatred_n among_o man_n for_o his_o goodness_n 4_o again_o do_v thou_o not_o desire_v that_o there_o be_v no_o god_n can_v thou_o not_o be_v content_a to_o live_v for_o ever_o in_o this_o world_n so_o that_o thou_o

therefore_o live_v in_o some_o evil_a way_n or_o other_o wherein_o thou_o do_v allow_v thyself_o thou_o have_v no_o interest_n in_o these_o promise_n only_o those_o that_o claim_v interest_n in_o
