what_o to_o have_v this_o matter_n hang_v in_o indifferency_n through_o neglect_n whether_o thou_o love_v god_n or_o love_v he_o not_o it_o show_v that_o neither_o regard_n to_o god_n nor_o a_o just_a value_n of_o thyself_o make_v thou_o care_n whether_o thou_o be_v a_o holy_a man_n or_o a_o devil_n for_o know_v that_o the_o love_a god_n or_o not_o love_v he_o do_v more_o distinguish_v a_o saint_n from_o a_o devil_n than_o wear_v a_o body_n or_o not_o wear_v it_o can_v do_v a_o devil_n if_o he_o do_v love_n god_n be_v a_o saint_n a_o man_n that_o do_v not_o love_n god_n he_o be_v no_o other_o though_o he_o wear_v a_o body_n than_o a_o incarnate_a devil_n it_o be_v the_o want_n of_o love_n to_o god_n that_o make_v the_o devil_n a_o devil_n make_v he_o what_o he_o be_v second_o for_o further_a direction_n take_v heed_n of_o pass_v a_o false_a judgement_n in_o this_o case_n a_o judgement_n contrary_n to_o the_o truth_n for_o first_o that_o be_v to_o no_o purpose_n it_o will_v avail_v thou_o nothing_o you_o can_v be_v advantage_v by_o it_o for_o you_o be_v not_o the_o supreme_a judgement_n there_o will_v be_v another_o and_o superior_a judgement_n to_o you_o that_o will_v control_v and_o reverse_v your_o false_a judgement_n and_o make_v it_o signify_v nothing_o it_o be_v therefore_o to_o no_o purpose_n and_o second_o it_o be_v a_o great_a piece_n of_o insolency_n for_o it_o will_v be_v to_o oppose_v your_o judgement_n to_o his_o certain_a and_o most_o authorise_a judgement_n who_o if_o this_o be_v your_o case_n have_v already_o judge_v it_o and_o tell_v you_o i_o know_v you_o that_o you_o have_v not_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o you_o it_o belong_v to_o he_o by_o office_n to_o judge_n the_o father_n have_v commit_v all_o judgement_n to_o the_o son_n as_o a_o little_a above_o in_o this_o chapter_n from_o what_o will_v you_o depose_v he_o dethrone_v he_o disannul_v his_o judgement_n condemn_v he_o that_o thou_o may_v be_v righteous_a to_o borrow_v that_o job_n 40.8_o three_o it_o be_v most_o absurd_a suppose_v such_o character_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v do_v conclude_v against_o a_o man_n in_o this_o case_n yet_o to_o judge_v himself_o a_o lover_n of_o god_n if_o against_o the_o evidence_n of_o such_o character_n a_o man_n shall_v pronounce_v the_o wrong_a judgement_n it_o will_v be_v the_o most_o unreasonable_a and_o absurd_a thing_n imaginable_a for_o then_o let_v we_o but_o suppose_v how_o that_o wrong_a judgement_n must_v lie_v relate_v to_o those_o forementioned_a character_n that_o have_v be_v give_v you_o let_v i_o remind_v you_o of_o some_o of_o they_o he_o that_o never_o put_v forth_o the_o act_n of_o love_n to_o god_n can_v say_v he_o have_v the_o principle_n he_o that_o be_v not_o incline_v to_o do_v good_a to_o other_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o god_n 1_o john_n 3.17_o he_o that_o indulge_v himself_o in_o the_o inconsistent_a love_n of_o this_o world_n 1_o john_n 2.15_o he_o that_o live_v not_o in_o obedience_n to_o his_o know_a law_n john_n 14.15_o 1_o john_n 5.3_o with_o many_o more_o now_o if_o you_o will_v pass_v a_o judgement_n of_o your_o case_n against_o the_o evidence_n of_o such_o character_n come_v forth_o then_o let_v the_o matter_n be_v bring_v into_o clear_a light_n put_v your_o sense_n into_o plain_a word_n and_o this_o it_o will_v be_v i_o be_o a_o lover_n of_o god_n or_o i_o have_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o i_o though_o i_o can_v tell_v that_o ever_o i_o put_v forth_o one_o act_n of_o love_n towards_o he_o in_o all_o my_o life_n i_o have_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o i_o though_o i_o never_o know_v what_o it_o mean_v to_o do_v good_a to_o any_o for_o his_o sake_n against_o the_o express_a word_n of_o scripture_n how_o dwell_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o such_o a_o man_n i_o have_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o i_o though_o i_o have_v constant_o indulge_v myself_o in_o that_o which_o he_o make_v a_o inconsistent_a love_n love_v not_o the_o world_n nor_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v in_o the_o world_n if_o any_o man_n love_v the_o world_n the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n be_v not_o in_o he_o i_o have_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o i_o though_o i_o will_v never_o allow_v he_o to_o rule_v i_o though_o i_o never_o keep_v his_o commandment_n with_o a_o design_n to_o please_v he_o and_o comply_v with_o his_o w●ll_n i_o have_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o i_o though_o i_o never_o value_v his_o love_n i_o have_v the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o i_o though_o i_o never_o care_v for_o his_o image_n for_o his_o presence_n for_o his_o converse_n for_o his_o interest_n and_o honour_n i_o beseech_v you_o consider_v how_o all_o this_o will_v sound_v can_v any_o thing_n be_v more_o absurd_o speak_v and_o shall_v it_o be_v upon_o such_o improbability_n or_o impossibility_n as_o these_o that_o any_o man_n will_v think_v it_o fit_a to_o venture_v his_o soul_n i_o will_v pawn_v my_o soul_n upon_o it_o i_o will_v run_v the_o hazard_n of_o my_o soul_n upon_o it_o i_o be_o a_o lover_n of_o god_n for_o all_o this_o will_v you_o venture_v any_o thing_n else_o so_o beside_o your_o soul_n will_v you_o venture_v a_o finger_n so_o a_o eye_n so_o it_o be_v to_o

indifferency_n towards_o god_n but_o if_o there_o be_v not_o love_n propension_n there_o be_v aversion_n and_o that_o be_v hatred_n and_o what_o be_v hatred_n to_o be_v call_v love_n if_o you_o bear_v that_o habitual_a disposition_n of_o soul_n towards_o god_n to_o go_v all_o the_o day_n long_o with_o no_o inclination_n towards_o he_o no_o thought_n of_o he_o no_o design_n to_o please_v he_o to_o
