before_o they_o be_v either_o church_n or_o people_n unto_o he_o or_o he_o they_o in_o any_o such_o relation_n as_o now_o they_o stand_v it_o be_v true_a that_o now_o he_o love_v they_o because_o

yet_o i_o conceive_v he_o love_v they_o as_o much_o or_o rather_o more_o because_o he_o be_v they_o then_o because_o they_o be_v he_o a_o upright_a and_o just_a man_n love_v his_o promise_n and_o upright_o deal_v more_o than_o he_o do_v his_o possession_n or_o estate_n as_o david_n in_o effect_n affirm_v in_o psal_n 15.4_o now_o god_n love_v his_o people_n because_o they_o be_v his_o love_v they_o as_o a_o wise_a and_o upright_a man_n love_v his_o inheritance_n or_o possession_n which_o kind_n of_o love_n in_o the_o expression_n of_o it_o be_v capable_a of_o subjection_n to_o a_o superior_a and_o must_v give_v place_n when_o time_n be_v but_o love_v they_o because_o he_o be_v they_o and_o they_o have_v a_o propriety_n in_o he_o he_o love_v they_o as_o he_o do_v his_o own_o truth_n and_o faithfulness_n in_o the_o performance_n of_o his_o promise_n which_o be_v a_o sovereign_a love_n and_o to_o be_v command_v &_o overrule_v by_o nothing_o whatsoever_o and_o if_o god_n have_v not_o love_v his_o church_n and_o people_n before_o they_o become_v either_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o unto_o he_o it_o be_v certain_a he_o will_v never_o have_v love_v they_o because_o

defile_v with_o sin_n without_o the_o concurrence_n and_o assistance_n nay_o without_o the_o precurrence_n and_o ducture_n of_o his_o own_o love_n thereunto_o of_o this_o love_n of_o god_n towards_o his_o church_n before_o their_o church-making_a or_o draw_v near_o to_o he_o in_o any_o such_o relation_n the_o scripture_n speak_v express_o john_n 3.16_o so_o god_n love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o
