love_v christ_n i_o say_v neither_o thou_o nor_o i_o can_v do_v it_o by_o any_o power_n or_o virtue_n in_o ourselves_o nay_o i_o say_v thou_o be_v as_o able_a to_o save_v thy_o own_o soul_n and_o to_o redeem_v thyself_o without_o christ_n as_o thou_o be_v able_a to_o love_n christ_n unless_o he_o by_o the_o power_n of_o his_o spiritenable_a thou_o to_o do_v it_o nay_o you_o that_o make_v nothing_o of_o it_o to_o love_n christ_n mark_v what_o i_o say_v if_o a_o man_n may_v have_v happiness_n in_o hand_n and_o heaven_n lay_v down_o upon_o the_o nail_n if_o he_o can_v love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n of_o himself_o i_o say_v if_o he_o have_v no_o more_o but_o nature_n he_o will_v never_o go_v to_o heaven_n nor_o never_o be_v happy_a nay_o it_o will_v cost_v more_o than_o so_o it_o will_v cost_v time_n and_o pain_n and_o many_o tear_n and_o prayer_n you_o must_v have_v the_o father_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n to_o teach_v you_o and_o you_o must_v go_v to_o another_o school_n than_o ever_o you_o be_v at_o yet_o before_o you_o can_v learn_v it_o and_o unless_o the_o father_n make_v you_o able_a to_o love_n christ_n you_o can_v never_o do_v it_o it_o be_v true_a if_o it_o be_v nothing_o but_o prattle_v and_o profess_v and_o yet_o to_o stand_v in_o open_a opposition_n to_o the_o power_n of_o grace_n and_o the_o spirit_n this_o can_v be_v for_o to_o welcome_v a_o saviour_n to_o receive_v christ_n answerable_a to_o the_o worth_n of_o he_o a_o man_n can_v do_v it_o by_o the_o mere_a power_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o lord_n as_o the_o apostle_n saint_n john_n say_v 1_o joh._n 1.5_o god_n be_v light_n and_o in_o he_o be_v no_o darkness_n and_o ephes_n 5.8_o you_o be_v darkness_n god_n be_v nothing_o but_o holiness_n and_o you_o be_v nothing_o but_o darkness_n now_o you_o know_v darkness_n can_v oppose_v light_a and_o wickedness_n can_v oppose_v holiness_n but_o never_o give_v way_n to_o it_o nor_o receive_v it_o this_o be_v thy_o nature_n and_o condition_n thou_o have_v a_o ignorant_a dark_a heart_n of_o thy_o own_o but_o the_o lord_n be_v altogether_o holiness_n and_o light_n and_o thou_o can_v not_o receive_v it_o nor_o will_v thou_o receive_v he_o as_o 2_o thess_n 2.10_o they_o will_v not_o receive_v the_o truth_n of_o god_n in_o the_o love_n of_o it_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n make_v love_n to_o thy_o carnal_a heart_n and_o will_v pluck_v thou_o from_o thy_o base_a lust_n and_o corruption_n and_o will_v woo_v and_o win_v thy_o soul_n that_o it_o may_v take_v place_n in_o thy_o heart_n the_o world_n will_v not_o receive_v it_o jesus_n christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n to_o save_v sinner_n but_o the_o world_n will_v not_o receive_v he_o so_o far_o be_v they_o from_o seek_v to_o a_o saviour_n that_o they_o will_v not_o receive_v he_o though_o he_o come_v to_o offer_v himself_o to_o they_o thou_o have_v a_o heart_n that_o hate_v jesus_n christ_n and_o can_v love_v he_o and_o thou_o have_v a_o heart_n that_o can_v oppose_v he_o and_o his_o grace_n but_o can_v not_o take_v contentment_n in_o that_o grace_n and_o rich_a mercy_n of_o he_o if_o thou_o have_v not_o grace_n and_o mercy_n thou_o have_v but_o what_o thou_o will_v have_v and_o therefore_o it_o be_v just_a thou_o shall_v never_o have_v it_o the_o second_o cause_n promise_n saint_n jove_n not_o as_o they_o may_v and_o shall_v because_o they_o rely_v not_o on_o the_o promise_n why_o i_o press_v this_o instruction_n be_v this_o to_o show_v the_o disorderly_a proceed_n of_o many_o poor_a saint_n that_o labour_n extreme_o to_o work_v their_o own_o soul_n and_o to_o bring_v their_o heart_n to_o love_n christ_n that_o they_o even_o fall_v out_o with_o themselves_o and_o curse_v their_o base_a heart_n that_o can_v love_v the_o world_n and_o can_v love_v jesus_n christ_n they_o labour_v much_o and_o will_v bring_v their_o heart_n to_o love_v he_o but_o they_o can_v do_v it_o because_o they_o go_v to_o work_v the_o contrary_a way_n they_o will_v bring_v love_n to_o the_o promise_n and_o not_o receive_v love_n from_o the_o promise_n as_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v bring_v water_n to_o the_o sea_n or_o light_n to_o the_o sun_n it_o be_v as_o if_o he_o will_v have_v a_o sun_n of_o his_o own_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v but_o one_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n that_o can_v kindle_v this_o love_n of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o carry_v itself_o worthy_a of_o he_o therefore_o be_v wise_a herein_o and_o think_v not_o to_o bring_v love_n to_o the_o promise_n but_o come_v to_o the_o promise_n for_o it_o and_o go_v to_o the_o sea_n for_o water_n and_o look_v up_o to_o the_o sun_n of_o god_n love_n and_o be_v under_o the_o beam_n of_o god_n mercy_n and_o look_v not_o down_o into_o that_o dead_a freeze_a heart_n of_o thy_o own_o for_o if_o thou_o will_v never_o so_o fain_o thou_o can_v not_o receive_v one_o sparkle_n of_o this_o love_n from_o thy_o own_o ability_n see_v his_o love_n therein_o and_o be_v thereby_o draw_v to_o love_v he_o again_o and_o see_v the_o fullness_n of_o those_o pleasure_n at_o his_o right_a hand_n which_o endure_v for_o ever_o joh._n 16.14_o the_o lord_n christ_n say_v he_o shall_v send_v the_o spirit_n the_o comforter_n and_o he_o shall_v take_v of_o i_o that_o be_v take_v of_o christ_n all_o spiritual_a grace_n be_v christ_n therefore_o go_v thou_o thy_o way_n and_o tell_v the_o lord_n thus_o much_o say_v in_o truth_n lord_n i_o have_v not_o a_o heart_n to_o love_v thou_o it_o be_v thy_o own_o work_n and_o thou_o have_v say_v that_o thy_o spirit_n shall_v take_v of_o thou_o and_o give_v it_o to_o thy_o servant_n that_o thy_o servant_n may_v also_o give_v thou_o of_o thy_o own_o again_o that_o love_n and_o that_o delight_n be_v thou_o to_o give_v that_o we_o may_v give_v thou_o of_o thy_o own_o as_o david_n speak_v of_o the_o build_n of_o the_o temple_n thus_o much_o of_o the_o use_n of_o instruction_n use_v 2._o christ_n comfort_n to_o they_o that_o love_n christ_n in_o the_o second_o place_n here_o be_v a_o strong_a consolation_n to_o sustain_v and_o refresh_v the_o heart_n of_o those_o that_o have_v receive_v this_o gracious_a work_n though_o they_o have_v some_o small_a weakness_n it_o skill_v not_o be_v the_o work_n sound_v it_o be_v enough_o thy_o soul_n may_v be_v comfort_v that_o the_o lord_n have_v enlarge_v himself_o to_o thou_o in_o this_o gracious_a work_n i_o say_v it_o be_v a_o ground_n of_o admirable_a sweet_a refresh_n of_o soul_n to_o any_o that_o find_v this_o gracious_a love_n unto_o christ_n a_o man_n by_o nature_n can_v have_v this_o therefore_o have_v thou_o this_o by_o grace_n go_v thy_o way_n as_o he_o that_o have_v find_v a_o treasury_n and_o make_v much_o of_o it_o and_o say_v and_o know_v thou_o have_v something_o more_o than_o all_o carnal_a wretch_n can_v have_v and_o thou_o have_v more_o than_o all_o the_o cunning_a close-hearted_n hypocrite_n under_o heaven_n can_v have_v let_v they_o pretend_v and_o fain_o and_o flatter_v what_o they_o will_n me_n think_v this_o shall_v wonderful_o refresh_v the_o hope_n of_o you_o poor_a one_o for_o though_o many_o time_n other_o thing_n go_v not_o well_o with_o you_o yet_o this_o be_v enough_o to_o cheer_v up_o your_o heart_n for_o ever_o you_o know_v a_o child_n will_v love_v his_o father_n though_o he_o can_v do_v little_a for_o he_o he_o be_v a_o child_n and_o therefore_o though_o he_o can_v do_v little_a for_o his_o father_n yet_o if_o he_o love_v his_o father_n he_o be_v content_v so_o they_o that_o have_v little_a mean_n and_o small_a sufficiency_n towards_o any_o servant_n of_o god_n and_o it_o may_v be_v their_o understanding_n be_v not_o so_o deep_a as_o other_o be_v and_o their_o tongue_n run_v not_o so_o glib_a as_o such_o and_o such_o and_o they_o can_v talk_v so_o free_o of_o the_o thing_n of_o grace_n and_o salvation_n and_o thou_o have_v mean_a part_n and_o can_v not_o enlarge_v thyself_o in_o holy_a duty_n and_o holy_a service_n though_o this_o be_v commendable_a where_o it_o be_v and_o thou_o can_v not_o dispute_v for_o a_o saviour_n and_o perform_v such_o duty_n as_o other_o can_v do_v yet_o thou_o can_v love_v jesus_n christ_n and_o rejoice_v in_o he_o methinks_v there_o be_v many_o a_o poor_a soul_n will_v say_v i_o bless_v the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o be_v all_o that_o i_o have_v the_o lord_n know_v that_o all_o the_o friend_n i_o have_v and_o part_n and_o mean_n and_o ability_n in_o the_o world_n they_o be_v but_o as_o dung_n and_o dross_n in_o comparison_n of_o christ_n oh_o it_o be_v
