and_o to_o deceive_v ourselves_o the_o more_o sincere_o we_o keep_v at_o a_o distance_n with_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o make_v ourselves_o great_a stranger_n even_o at_o home_n in_o our_o own_o

and_o as_o we_o must_v begin_v our_o work_n by_o faith_n so_o we_o must_v labour_v in_o those_o work_n by_o love_n not_o that_o whereby_o we_o love_v pleasure_n for_o that_o be_v the_o part_n of_o a_o

the_o world_n for_o that_o will_v make_v we_o god_n enemy_n james_n 4._o 4._o nor_o that_o whereby_o we_o love_v pride_n for_o that_o will_v make_v god_n our_o enemy_n 1_o pet._n 5._o 5._o not_o that_o whereby_o we_o love_v sin_n for_o that_o be_v satan-like_a 1_o john_n 3._o 8._o but_o that_o whereby_o we_o love_v the_o lord_n for_o that_o be_v saintlike_a psal_n 31._o 23._o and_o therefore_o such_o a_o love_n as_o will_v be_v proper_a and_o fit_a to_o carry_v on_o a_o godly_a work_n must_v have_v god_n for_o its_o object_n and_o god_n glory_n for_o its_o end_n more_o plain_o thus_o if_o we_o will_v labour_v in_o a_o work_n by_o love_n so_o as_o to_o bring_v it_o to_o a_o godly_a frame_n our_o love_n must_v be_v sincere_a to_o god_n in_o christ_n firm_a to_o his_o will_n and_o zealous_a of_o his_o glory_n and_o very_o it_o must_v be_v qualify_v in_o reference_n both_o to_o god_n and_o man_n like_o that_o which_o paul_n set_v forth_o in_o his_o epistle_n namely_o in_o the_o thirteen_o chapter_n of_o his_o first_o to_o the_o corinthian_n begin_v at_o the_o four_o verse_n love_n suffer_v long_o say_v he_o &_o be_v kind_a it_o envy_v not_o it_o vaunt_v not_o itself_o be_v not_o puff_v up_o do_v not_o behave_v itself_o unseemly_a seek_v not_o her_o own_o be_v not_o easy_o provoke_v think_v no_o evil_a rejoice_v not_o in_o iniquity_n but_o rejoice_v in_o the_o truth_n it_o bear_v all_o thing_n believe_v all_o thing_n hope_v all_o thing_n endure_v all_o thing_n and_o he_o that_o shall_v according_a to_o this_o love_n or_o to_o a_o love_n not_o much_o unlike_a to_o this_o proceed_v in_o those_o design_n which_o he_o have_v first_o begin_v by_o faith_n he_o may_v be_v confident_a that_o if_o his_o patience_n be_v answerable_a he_o have_v attain_v to_o the_o power_n of_o godliness_n and_o therefore_o it_o remain_v that_o we_o consider_v what_o kind_n of_o patience_n will_v be_v suitable_a and_o proper_a to_o continue_v our_o engagement_n for_o we_o do_v find_v four_o kind_n of_o patience_n namely_o a_o patience_n of_o falsehood_n a_o patience_n of_o folly_n a_o patience_n of_o force_n and_o a_o patience_n of_o hope_n the_o first_o i_o say_v be_v a_o patience_n of_o falsehood_n or_o a_o false_a pernicious_a patience_n and_o this_o be_v when_o a_o man_n dissemble_v his_o anger_n till_o he_o can_v find_v a_o fit_a opportunity_n to_o do_v the_o great_a mischief_n thus_o hateful_a esau_n do_v conceal_v his_o anger_n that_o he_o conceive_v against_o his_o brother_n jacob._n and_o he_o say_v in_o his_o heart_n the_o day_n of_o mourning_n for_o my_o father_n be_v at_o hand_n then_o will_v i_o slay_v my_o brother_n jacob_n gen._n 27._o 41._o and_o thus_o proud_a haman_n do_v dissemble_v his_o against_o good_a mordecay_n for_o near_o twelve_o month_n for_o he_o think_v scorn_n to_o lay_v hand_n on_o mordecay_n alone_o etc._n etc._n esther_n 3._o 6_o 7._o until_o he_o fall_v upon_o that_o curse_a decree_n to_o destroy_v to_o kill_v and_o to_o cause_n to_o perish_v all_o jew_n both_o young_a and_o old_a little_a child_n and_o woman_n in_o one_o day_n as_o verse_n 13._o this_o be_v a_o false_a treacherous_a patience_n or_o a_o patience_n with_o a_o mischief_n the_o second_o be_v a_o patience_n of_o folly_n a_o foolish_a and_o a_o partial_a patience_n and_o this_o be_v when_o a_o man_n can_v hear_v or_o see_v god_n glory_n vilify_v or_o abuse_v or_o in_o his_o name_n or_o truth_n or_o ordinance_n and_o not_o to_o be_v move_v or_o offend_v at_o it_o alas_o how_o hot_a and_o furious_a we_o be_v in_o the_o defence_n of_o our_o own_o reputation_n although_o it_o scarce_o be_v worth_a the_o speak_n of_o but_o in_o god_n case_n we_o be_v as_o calm_v and_o cool_v as_o if_o we_o have_v nor_o spleen_n nor_o spirit_n in_o we_o we_o read_v that_o jehu_n the_o son_n of_o nimshi_n be_v very_o zealous_a in_o destroy_v the_o posterity_n of_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n and_o judah_n and_o in_o remove_v all_o obstruction_n and_o impediment_n that_o may_v hinder_v or_o molest_v his_o possession_n in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o israel_n nevertheless_o he_o be_v so_o patient_a in_o reference_n to_o the_o sin_n of_o jeroboam_n the_o son_n of_o nebat_fw-la who_o make_v israel_n to_o sin_n that_o he_o depart_v not_o from_o after_o they_o to_o wit_n the_o golden_a calf_n that_o be_v in_o bethel_n and_o that_o be_v in_o dan_o

may_v there_o not_o be_v some_o in_o these_o our_o day_n that_o be_v very_o zealous_a to_o root_v out_o monarchy_n magistracy_n and_o ministry_n which_o zeal_n they_o jehu_n like_v proclaim_v to_o be_v for_o the_o lord_n notwithstanding_o they_o continue_v their_o golden_a calf_n of_o covetousness_n and_o ambition_n while_o un●er_o the_o colour_n of_o liberty_n of_o conscience_n every_o one_o that_o be_v factious_a may_v do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n we_o find_v likewise_o that_o eli_n be_v so_o zealous_a for_o the_o ark_n of_o god_n that_o when_o he_o hear_v it_o be_v take_v by_o the_o philistine_n he_o fall_v down_o and_o die_v 1_o sam._n 4._o 14._o but_o he_o be_v so_o patient_a in_o relation_n to_o the_o sin_n of_o his_o own_o son_n that_o he_o thereby_o provoke_v the_o lord_n to_o denounce_v a_o fearful_a curse_n upon_o his_o whole_a posterity_n 1_o sam._n 3._o 13._o etc._n etc._n and_o be_v there_o not_o among_o we_o that_o will_v rage_v and_o inveigh_v very_o bitter_o against_o the_o least_o mistake_v of_o their_o opposer_n as_o scandalous_a and_o therefore_o execrable_a whereas_o they_o can_v with_o much_o patience_n pass_v by_o the_o lewd_a proceed_n of_o their_o friend_n and_o follower_n as_o humane_a frailty_n therefore_o tolerable_a i_o can_v say_v but_o this_o kind_n of_o patience_n may_v be_v of_o credit_n with_o apostate_n but_o i_o conceive_v it_o be_v not_o so_o with_o the_o apostle_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o impartial_a paul_n when_o peter_n come_v to_o antioch_n i_o withstand_v he_o to_o the_o

opposite_a to_o the_o right_a christian_a zeal_n neither_o comply_v with_o the_o work_n of_o faith_n nor_o with_o the_o labour_n of_o a_o godly_a love_n and_o be_v not_o this_o a_o foolish_a patience_n or_o a_o patience_n of_o folly_n the_o three_o kind_n be_v a_o patience_n of_o force_n and_o this_o appear_v when_o a_o man_n conceive_v that_o he_o have_v just_a occasion_n of_o offence_n and_o no_o less_o will_n to_o execute_v his_o anger_n have_v he_o not_o some_o restraint_n impose_v on_o he_o this_o we_o may_v see_v be_v verify_v in_o laban_n when_o he_o pursue_v hot_o after_o
