be_v account_v humble_a man_n because_o they_o do_v imitate_v christ_n some_o object_n thus_o i_o but_o you_o do_v not_o discreet_o to_o publish_v this_o point_n whereby_o it_o come_v to_o the_o

this_o their_o discretion_n to_o have_v make_v know_v this_o point_n only_o unto_o minister_n they_o then_o know_v way_n enough_o how_o to_o smother_v it_o so_o as_o it_o shall_v never_o have_v come_v

law_n as_o touch_v its_o perfection_n can_v a_o man_n love_v the_o thing_n unknow_v for_o answer_v hereunto_o we_o must_v know_v that_o how_o ever_o a_o man_n may_v he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o a_o thing_n as_o by_o it_o self_n &_o in_o particular_a yet_o may_v he_o be_v say_v to_o know_v it_o and_o so_o also_o to_o love_v it_o by_o a_o other_o &_o in_o the_o general_a i_o make_v it_o plain_a thus_o he_o that_o love_v one_o or_o more_o piece_n of_o gold_n as_o gold_n he_o love_v all_o piece_n of_o gold_n and_o as_o well_o those_o piece_n in_o general_a which_o he_o never_o see_v as_o those_o piece_n in_o particular_a which_o he_o have_v see_v &_o by_o those_o particular_a piece_n which_o he_o have_v see_v &_o find_v good_a &_o pleasant_a unto_o he_o he_o come_v to_o know_v that_o the_o other_o piece_n unseen_a be_v of_o like_a nature_n they_o be_v also_o good_a &_o pleasant_a and_o so_o he_o grow_v in_o love_n with_o they_o also_o the_o case_n be_v a_o like_a in_o he_o that_o have_v the_o inheritance_n of_o a_o lord_n ship_n or_o manner_n descend_v unto_o he_o be_v it_o that_o he_o never_o see_v nor_o know_v some_o particular_a close_a field_n or_o tenement_n of_o his_o inheritance_n yet_o he_o have_v a_o love_n unto_o these_o unknown_n part_n of_o his_o inheritance_n in_o the_o general_a &_o by_o the_o experimental_a commodety_n he_o find_v by_o some_o of_o the_o know_v part_n of_o his_o inheritance_n he_o grow_n in_o to_o love_v of_o the_o unknowe_n part_v also_o so_o it_o be_v in_o this_o our_o case_n it_o be_v true_a the_o most_o of_o man_n they_o know_v not_o the_o law_n of_o god_n their_o inheritance_n in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o it_o particular_o and_o by_o themselves_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o they_o have_v a_o knowledge_n &_o so_o a_o love_n to_o god_n law_n and_o to_o the_o unknow_v part_n of_o it_o in_o the_o general_a and_o by_o the_o other_o know_v part_n in_o so_o much_o as_o many_o that_o be_v ignorant_a of_o some_o one_o or_o more_o point_n in_o the_o particular_a and_o by_o themselves_o can_v yet_o true_o say_v that_o they_o love_v the_o law_n of_o god_n and_o the_o law_n too_o in_o its_o integrity_n &_o perfection_n and_o out_o of_o this_o love_n in_o the_o general_a and_o by_o other_o part_n they_o unfeigned_o desire_v to_o be_v make_v acquaint_v with_o those_o unknown_n part_n in_o the_o particular_a that_o they_o may_v love_v they_o for_o themselves_o also_o to_o apply_v this_o do_v thou_o then_o love_v the_o law_n of_o god_n why_o make_v it_o appear_v then_o both_o to_o thy_o own_o heart_n and_o unto_o all_o man_n by_o thy_o love_n unto_o the_o unknown_n part_n of_o it_o for_o he_o that_o love_v some_o piece_n of_o gold_n in_o truth_n he_o love_v all_o piece_n of_o gold_n also_o as_o well_o those_o unseen_a as_o those_o he_o have_v see_v so_o must_v thou_o do_v if_o thy_o love_n to_o god_n law_n be_v sound_a thou_o must_v be_v in_o love_n with_o all_o the_o part_n of_o god_n law_n in_o its_o integrity_n as_o well_o with_o those_o unknown_a as_o with_o those_o already_o know_v the_o way_n whereby_o thou_o must_v make_v know_v thy_o love_n unto_o the_o unknown_n part_n of_o god_n law_n be_v in_o these_o two_o thing_n in_o a_o earnest_a desire_n to_o become_v acquaint_v in_o particular_a with_o those_o unknown_n part_n of_o god_n law_n and_o in_o a_o ready_a willingness_n to_o embrace_v the_o knowledge_n of_o they_o when_o occasion_n by_o god_n mercy_n be_v offer_v thou_o for_o the_o former_a as_o david_n desire_v to_o be_v deliver_v from_o his_o sin_n pray_v not_o

prophet_n david_n a_o notable_a pattern_n in_o this_o point_n how_o earnest_a a_o suitor_n unto_o god_n be_v he_o in_o this_o case_n open_v my_o eye_n say_v he_o that_o i_o may_v see_v the_o wonder_n of_o thy_o law_n &_o again_o hide_v not_o thy_o commandment_n from_o i_o &_o again_o give_v i_o understanding_n that_o i_o may_v learn_v thy_o commandment_n and_o then_o his_o heart_n burst_v again_o with_o eager_a desire_n thereof_o my_o heart_n break_v say_v he_o for_o the_o desire_n to_o thy_o judgment_n thus_o if_o there_o be_v in_o we_o a_o firuent_a love_n unto_o god_n law_n as_o there_o be_v in_o david_n we_o will_v never_o be_v at_o rest_n until_o we_o know_v god_n law_n yet_o better_a and_o more_o full_o even_o unto_o perfection_n the_o second_o thing_n to_o wit_n a_o ready_a

unto_o he_o then_o thousand_o of_o gold_n &_o silver_n will_v not_o a_o man_n be_v ready_a to_o embrace_v the_o joy_n of_o his_o heart_n a_o inheritance_n and_o that_o which_o be_v better_o than_o

if_o true_o thou_o love_v god_n law_n as_o david_n do_v i_o come_v now_o to_o apply_v the_o former_a of_o the_o two_o point_n be_v it_o so_o that_o whosoever_o love_v god_n law_n in_o truth_n and_o

&_o in_o truth_n sincere_o &_o unfeigned_o love_v god_n la_o or_o not_o do_v thou_o desire_v the_o knowledge_n of_o all_o god_n la_o as_o well_o as_o of_o some_o of_o it_o do_v thou_o desire_v the_o

more_o may_v be_v know_v thy_o case_n be_v dangerous_a it_o be_v to_o be_v suspect_v that_o thy_o love_n to_o god_n law_n be_v but_o a_o feign_a love_n &_o hypocritical_a &_o that_o thou_o be_v rot_v

to_o he_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n to_o neglect_v the_o sabbath_n day_n namely_o the_o necessity_n of_o want_n poverty_n &_o hunger_n now_o lest_o any_o man_n shall_v marvel_v that_o i_o will_v

6.1_o which_o work_v they_o do_v on_o the_o sabbath_n day_n to_o prevent_v a_o little_a hunger_n and_o christ_n justify_v this_o action_n now_o if_o hunger_n be_v a_o case_n of_o necessity_n in_o
