covetousness_n if_o no_o good_a speech_n proceed_v out_o of_o his_o mouth_n but_o only_o froward_a and_o filthy_a and_o vain_a speech_n if_o it_o be_v so_o will_v we_o say_v that_o we_o love_v god_n no_o the_o love_n of_o god_n breed_v obedience_n unto_o god_n if_o one_o shall_v say_v that_o he_o love_v the_o king_n as_o well_o as_o any_o subject_n in_o england_n yet_o he_o will_v always_o be_v practise_v &_o invent_v treason_n and_o rebellion_n against_o he_o who_o can_v believe_v he_o so_o if_o we_o will_v speak_v foolish_o and_o vain_o break_v god_n saboth_n &_o blaspheme_v his_o name_n and_o do_v such_o other_o wickedness_n do_v we_o love_v god_n nay_o so_o far_o as_o any_o allow_v himself_o to_o do_v these_o thing_n so_o far_o he_o hate_v god_n as_o he_o that_o allow_v himself_o in_o rebellion_n hatas_fw-la the_o prince_n so_o he_o that_o maintain_v any_o sin_n whatsoever_o in_o himself_o he_o hate_v god_n so_o that_o by_o these_o two_o thing_n we_o may_v examine_v our_o love_n of_o god_n first_o in_o the_o mean_n of_o salvation_n what_o good_a affection_n we_o bear_v unto_o they_o second_o how_o we_o keep_v god_n commandment_n for_o say_v christ_n he_o that_o have_v my_o commandment_n &_o keep_v they_o he_o love_v i_o first_a we_o must_v have_v his_o commandment_n in_o our_o understanding_n to_o know_v the_o meaning_n of_o they_o and_o in_o our_o memory_n that_o we_o may_v remember_v they_o and_o then_o in_o our_o hart_n to_o work_v on_o our_o affection_n and_o last_o in_o our_o practice_n we_o must_v keep_v they_o and_o in_o what_o degree_n we_o do_v this_o thing_n in_o that_o degree_n do_v we_o love_v god_n a_o three_o mark_n that_o we_o observe_v and_o note_v our_o affection_n to_o god_n child_n for_o this_o be_v a_o sound_a note_n that_o we_o love_v god_n if_o we_o love_v his_o child_n as_o in_o john_n 5._o he_o that_o love_v he_o that_o beget_v will_v love_v he_o that_o be_v beget_v if_o then_o we_o find_v in_o our_o heart_n a_o good_a

he_o come_v to_o us._n for_o if_o our_o hart_n be_v set_v true_o upon_o any_o thing_n that_o thing_n we_o can_v choose_v but_o desire_n and_o be_v willing_a to_o have_v it_o with_o us._n love_n draw_v

the_o revelation_n the_o spirit_n and_o the_o church_n and_o the_o bride_n and_o all_o say_v come_v lord_n come_v quick_o and_o in_o the_o natural_a marriage_n in_o which_o the_o love_n be_v much_o

will_v be_v glad_a to_o have_v his_o company_n if_o this_o be_v so_o in_o the_o natural_a marriage_n where_o there_o be_v many_o infirmity_n and_o cross_n yet_o they_o do_v wish_v for_o the_o

virtue_n and_o grace_n in_o this_o marriage_n i_o say_v how_o can_v one_o choose_v but_o long_o after_o this_o perfect_a and_o happy_a meeting_n how_o can_v he_o stay_v himself_o that_o have_v any_o love_n &_o assurance_n of_o these_o thing_n but_o he_o shall_v be_v ready_a to_o fly_v up_o into_o heaven_n &_o the_o flame_n of_o his_o desire_n will_v burn_v above_o the_o cloud_n to_o wish_v that_o god_n will_v come_v and_o dwell_v with_o us._n if_o the_o wife_n shall_v say_v i_o love_v my_o husband_n as_o well_o as_o any_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n o_o but_o how_o say_v you_o your_o husband_n have_v be_v from_o you_o a_o long_a time_n but_o at_o such_o a_o time_n he_o will_v return_v o_o i_o pray_v you_o speak_v not_o of_o that_o you_o will_v make_v i_o sick_a if_o you_o talk_v of_o it_o indeed_o i_o love_v he_o but_o i_o care_v not_o how_o far_o of_o from_o i_o he_o be_v who_o will_v not_o perceive_v that_o this_o be_v mere_a dissemble_a &_o no_o true_a love_n indeed_o can_v a_o woman_n love_v her_o husband_n and_o not_o desire_v his_o company_n so_o if_o we_o will_v bear_v other_o in_o hand_n that_o we_o love_v god_n above_o all_o and_o no_o man_n love_v god_n better_o than_o we_o yet_o we_o never_o desire_v to_o come_v at_o he_o or_o to_o have_v he_o come_v at_o we_o what_o a_o love_n be_v this_o a_o very_a weak_a love_n it_o be_v sure_a or_o none_o we_o must_v pray_v therefore_o and_o endeavour_v that_o we_o may_v long_o for_o and_o wish_v for_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n for_o god_n have_v give_v this_o to_o other_o of_o his_o child_n that_o be_v as_o

desire_v the_o come_n of_o her_o husband_n the_o five_o and_o last_o note_n whereby_o we_o shall_v find_v out_o in_o truth_n how_o we_o love_v god_n be_v to_o consider_v how_o we_o stand_v affect_v to_o that_o which_o he_o hate_v one_o indeed_o may_v love_v a_o man_n true_o and_o yet_o not_o hate_v all_o that_o he_o hate_v because_o his_o hatred_n may_v be_v unjust_a or_o else_o he_o may_v

deserve_v to_o be_v abhor_v therefore_o try_v and_o see_v how_o we_o stand_v affect_v to_o the_o wolrd_n god_n say_v that_o he_o hate_v the_o world_n by_o the_o world_n be_v mean_v as_o saint_n john_n expounde_v it_o the_o lust_n of_o the_o eye_n the_o lust_n of_o the_o hart_n and_o the_o pride_n of_o life_n we_o must_v hate_v these_o thing_n for_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n be_v enmity_n to_o

that_o love_v that_o which_o god_n hate_v hate_v god_n also_o also_o we_o must_v see_v how_o we_o hate_v covetousness_n malice_n pride_n filthiness_n falsehood_n and_o such_o like_a for_o all_o these_o thing_n god_n hate_v but_o if_o one_o be_v so_o far_o from_o abhor_v lie_v as_o that_o he_o himself_o will_v lie_v &_o so_o far_o from_o hate_v flattery_n as_o he_o himself_o will_v flatter_v &_o speak_v fair_a before_o one_o face_n but_o ill_o enough_o behind_o his_o back_n if_o one_o be_v so_o far_o from_o hate_v unthriftinesse_n as_o that_o he_o will_v be_v a_o gamester_n &_o spend_v those_o thing_n idle_o and_o foolish_o which_o god_n give_v he_o for_o a_o better_a end_n and_o will_v take_v a_o account_n of_o he_o also_o how_o he_o spend_v they_o because_o god_n bestow_v they_o for_o better_a end_n and_o he_o bestow_v they_o proud_o vain_o and_o unthrifte_o to_o no_o glory_n to_o god_n or_o good_a to_o man_n he_o that_o will_v do_v these_o or_o any_o such_o thing_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o he_o hate_v

on_o he_o much_o rather_o will_v he_o give_v it_o to_o a_o stranger_n who_o he_o never_o know_v before_o then_o unto_o one_o that_o have_v so_o shameful_o abuse_v he_o and_o can_v better_o find_v in_o his_o heart_n to_o leave_v his_o good_n unto_o a_o vagrant_a beggar_n then_o to_o one_o who_o unwitting_o now_o he_o feed_v and_o clothes_n and_o who_o shall_v enjoy_v all_o his_o labour_n this_o sin_n of_o adultery_n therefore_o be_v a_o most_o foul_a sin_n in_o regard_n of_o the_o wrong_a one_o do_v to_o man_n and_o to_o god_n also_o who_o have_v so_o great_a a_o regard_n of_o marriage_n that_o it_o be_v faithful_o observe_v for_o the_o comfort_n each_o of_o other_o as_o that_o he_o think_v it_o not_o sufficient_a that_o they_o shall_v bind_v themselves_o in_o promise_n one_o to_o the_o other_o but_o he_o will_v have_v they_o also_o enter_v into_o a_o covenant_n with_o he_o to_o be_v true_a one_o to_o the_o other_o which_o if_o they_o violate_v and_o contemn_v it_o be_v a_o most_o odious_a thing_n in_o god_n account_n now_o the_o use_n that_o we_o must_v make_v of_o this_o be_v that_o since_o it_o be_v so_o foul_a a_o sin_n and_o yet_o our_o nature_n be_v subject_a to_o fall_v into_o as_o david_n after_o many_o correction_n and_o humiliation_n after_o many_o mercy_n and_o benefit_n when_o he_o be_v some_o thing_n well_o in_o year_n and_o have_v the_o remedy_n also_o yea_o and_o as_o the_o corruption_n of_o those_o time_n be_v many_o wife_n yet_o fall_v into_o his_o foul_a sin_n this_o loathsomeness_n of_o the_o sin_n and_o the_o proudnesse_n of_o our_o nature_n to_o commit_v it_o shall_v move_v we_o to_o use_v those_o mean_n and_o preseruative_n which_o may_v keep_v we_o from_o it_o for_o if_o david_n do_v fall_v into_o it_o to_o his_o great_a woe_n and_o to_o some_o blot_n also_o and_o blemish_v of_o his_o name_n than_o we_o must_v not_o be_v secure_a and_o think_v ourselves_o safe_a but_o the_o mean_n to_o make_v a_o man_n live_v chaste_o in_o
