human_a reason_n or_o wisdom_n without_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v in_o we_o how_o can_v it_o prove_v whether_o we_o do_v love_n god_n or_o no_o if_o we_o can_v find_v out_o the_o fallacy_n of_o that_o deceit_n without_o love_n 2._o in_o the_o second_o of_o thessaly_n 2._o 10_o 11._o god_n will_v send_v strong_a delusion_n that_o those_o which_o love_v not_o the_o truth_n be_v they_o never_o so_o learned_a shall_v not_o be_v able_a to_o know_v it_o for_o if_o so_o be_v it_o be_v say_v they_o shall_v profess_v lie_n it_o may_v be_v that_o they_o know_v the_o truth_n though_o they_o profess_v the_o contrary_a but_o it_o be_v say_v they_o believe_v lie_n our_o saviour_n give_v this_o reason_n why_o he_o will_v manifest_v himself_o to_o his_o disciple_n and_o not_o to_o the_o

by_o study_n but_o by_o prayer_n and_o meditation_n by_o a_o inward_a strict_a communion_n with_o god_n and_o the_o friend_n of_o god_n the_o saint_n but_o especial_o with_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o

like_a spiritual_a exercise_n do_v not_o you_o say_v how_o can_v you_o prove_v that_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o spend_v one_o hour_n every_o day_n for_o 1._o suppose_v god_n when_o you_o go_v to_o prayer_n shall_v answer_v you_o so_o how_o can_v you_o prove_v that_o i_o be_o bind_v to_o give_v you_o such_o a_o mercy_n thou_o may_v cause_v god_n to_o carry_v himself_o as_o froward_a by_o this_o froward_a answer_n for_o it_o be_v say_v with_o the_o froward_a he_o will_v show_v frowardness_n 2._o how_o will_v thou_o spend_v eternity_n in_o the_o admire_n adore_n and_o praise_n of_o god_n if_o a_o hour_n spend_v so_o be_v now_o so_o irksome_a to_o thou_o how_o shall_v it_o then_o be_v thy_o heaven_n if_o it_o be_v now_o thy_o hell_n 3._o be_v it_o a_o friendly_a answer_n if_o a_o friend_n shall_v come_v to_o desire_v a_o courtesy_n of_o you_o do_v you_o so_o answer_v he_o how_o can_v you_o prove_v that_o i_o be_o bind_v to_o do_v it_o 4._o consider_v this_o be_v the_o question_n of_o a_o slave_n to_o ask_v what_o must_v i_o do_v but_o the_o question_n of_o a_o friend_n and_o a_o child_n be_v what_o may_v i_o do_v to_o please_v my_o father_n or_o my_o friend_n 5._o keep_v this_o answer_n until_o the_o world_n or_o the_o flesh_n come_v unto_o thou_o give_v this_o answer_n to_o those_o thy_o enemy_n and_o not_o to_o thy_o god_n 6._o do_v thou_o stand_v out_o shall_v the_o great_a and_o holy_a god_n be_v ready_a and_o willing_a to_o meet_v thou_o and_o have_v communion_n with_o thou_o as_o often_o and_o as_o long_o as_o thou_o please_v and_o shall_v thou_o refuse_v it_o shall_v be_v his_o part_n one_o will_v think_v to_o be_v hard_a to_o be_v intreat_v not_o thou_o shall_v he_o account_v it_o his_o riches_n to_o bestow_v mercy_n on_o thou_o and_o thou_o account_v it_o thy_o trouble_n to_o receive_v they_o 7._o do_v but_o do_v that_o which_o thou_o be_v bind_v to_o do_v viz._n love_n god_n with_o all_o thy_o soul_n with_o all_o thy_o mind_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o strength_n and_o then_o thou_o will_v ask_v not_o why_o so_o much_o but_o why_o no_o more_o and_o indeed_o when_o once_o thou_o have_v find_v the_o sweetness_n and_o profit_n thouthy_a self_n will_v not_o only_o continue_v but_o increase_v these_o holy_a duty_n and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o i_o propose_v no_o more_o time_n because_o i_o suppose_v this_o be_v spiritual_o spend_v more_o will_v follow_v of_o itself_o david_n wish_v we_o to_o taste_v and_o see_v how_o gracious_a the_o lord_n be_v not_o because_o he_o will_v not_o have_v we_o feed_v on_o he_o but_o because_o if_o

to_o conclude_v i_o desire_v to_o speak_v one_o word_n more_o as_o to_o human_a learning_n which_o i_o account_v of_o singular_a use_n for_o the_o understandiug_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o have_v dote_v on_o it_o as_o much_o as_o any_o and_o love_v it_o still_o as_o much_o as_o i_o dare_v for_o i_o account_v the_o love_n of_o it_o dangerous_a the_o use_n of_o it_o very_a advantageous_a and_o can_v i_o set_v down_o how_o far_o i_o have_v go_v in_o it_o with_o the_o same_o spirit_n that_o saint_n paul_n do_v set_v down_o phil._n 3._o his_o excellency_n in_o leg_n all_o privilege_n and_o righteousness_n i_o will_v but_o i_o account_v it_o safe_a for_o i_o to_o be_v think_v whole_o ignorant_a then_o to_o venture_v pride_v myself_o of_o that_o small_a knowledge_n i_o have_v yet_o thus_o much_o i_o conceive_v of_o human_a learning_n that_o beside_o the_o incertainty_n of_o it_o there_o be_v many_o inconvenience_n incident_a to_o it_o 1._o our_o thought_n be_v whole_o take_v up_o with_o it_o when_o we_o be_v study_v of_o it_o which_o be_v not_o necessary_o so_o in_o other_o employment_n for_o one_o may_v buy_v and_o sell_v and_o yet_o have_v our_o mind_n often_o upon_o god_n even_o in_o the_o very_a midst_n of_o those_o employment_n 2._o man_n general_o judge_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o way_n of_o god_n worship_n according_a to_o that_o way_n of_o learning_n wherein_o they_o excel_v those_o who_o excel_v in_o the_o father_n and_o church_n history_n be_v subject_a to_o admit_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o way_n of_o god_n worship_n because_o they_o be_v attest_v and_o warrant_v by_o they_o those_o who_o most_o excel_v in_o philosophy_n and_o school_n divinity_n they_o make_v reason_n the_o touchstone_n to_o try_v even_o gospel_n truth_n by_o yet_o i_o do_v much_o esteem_v of_o these_o egyptian_a jewel_n so_o we_o make_v not_o a_o idol_n of_o they_o and_o fall_v down_o and_o worship_v they_o 3._o and_o last_o i_o find_v it_o as_o hard_o a_o thing_n to_o deny_v human_a learning_n as_o to_o get_v it_o moses_n be_v much_o to_o be_v admire_v who_o be_v bring_v up_o in_o all_o the_o learning_n of_o the_o egyptian_n yet_o preach_v so_o plain_o as_o you_o may_v see_v in_o deuteronomy_n and_o paul_n who_o preach_v so_o very_o plain_a that_o his_o adversary_n object_v it_o against_o he_o consider_v what_o be_v say_v and_o the_o lord_n give_v
