the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o question_n be_v quest_n what_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n answ_n the_o answer_n be_v it_o be_v a_o communicable_a attribute_n whereby_o god_n love_v himself_o his_o son_n and_o his_o spirit_n and_o then_o his_o creature_n free_o but_o not_o equal_o to_o explain_v these_o point_n we_o give_v love_n to_o god_n as_o other_o attribute_n not_o as_o quality_n not_o as_o accident_n not_o as_o any_o thing_n come_v from_o god_n that_o be_v not_o in_o he_o before_o because_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o god_n that_o be_v not_o in_o god_n love_n be_v give_v to_o god_n as_o void_a of_o all_o imperfection_n or_o error_n it_o be_v a_o rule_n that_o the_o learned_a have_v that_o whatsoever_o attribute_n be_v give_v to_o god_n must_v be_v free_a from_o all_o imperfection_n and_o error_n before_o we_o can_v attribute_n it_o to_o he_o and_o therefore_o love_v as_o it_o be_v a_o attribute_n give_v to_o god_n must_v be_v purge_v from_o all_o imperfection_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n in_o love_n first_o a_o good_a will_n that_o one_o bear_v to_o another_o second_o a_o good_a work_n three_o a_o delight_v in_o that_o which_o be_v love_v these_o thing_n be_v in_o god_n none_o have_v a_o better_a will_n than_o god_n none_o do_v more_o good_a than_o god_n and_o there_o be_v none_o that_o delight_v more_o in_o his_o belove_a than_o god_n himself_o again_o we_o say_v it_o be_v a_o communicable_a attribute_n not_o that_o love_n be_v in_o god_n as_o it_o be_v in_o man_n but_o because_o there_o be_v something_o in_o man_n that_o be_v like_o this_o love_n of_o god_n man_n be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o godly_a nature_n that_o be_v they_o have_v this_o in_o the_o quality_n that_o god_n have_v in_o substance_n and_o therefore_o we_o call_v it_o a_o communicable_a attribute_n in_o the_o next_o place_n we_o say_v it_o be_v that_o whereby_o he_o love_v himself_o his_o son_n and_o his_o spirit_n it_o be_v for_o his_o own_o glory_n that_o he_o love_v himself_o as_o it_o appear_v in_o that_o the_o scripture_n say_v that_o god_n be_v a_o jealous_a god_n jealous_a of_o his_o worship_n and_o service_n if_o he_o be_v jealous_a there_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o love_n of_o himself_o go_v with_o it_o 2._o commandment_n so_o he_o love_v himself_o and_o he_o love_v
god_n answ_n because_o he_o be_v equal_a to_o god_n second_o because_o the_o name_n jehovah_n be_v give_v unto_o he_o three_o because_o essential_a attribute_n be_v attribute_v to_o he_o four_o proper_a work_n and_o so_o divine_a work_n be_v give_v to_o he_o to_o explain_v these_o first_o we_o say_v he_o be_v equal_a to_o god_n john_n 16.15_o all_o that_o the_o father_n have_v be_v i_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o there_o be_v equality_n a_o adopt_a son_n can_v say_v that_o all_o that_o my_o father_n have_v be_v i_o he_o can_v challenge_v it_o but_o christ_n challenge_v this_o to_o himself_o therefore_o necessary_o it_o must_v be_v that_o he_o be_v god_n philip._n 2.6_o he_o that_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o god_n think_v it_o no_o robbery_n to_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n by_o

have_v a_o form_n that_o be_v equal_a to_o god_n it_o must_v be_v a_o essential_a form_n it_o appear_v the_o apostle_n say_v that_o he_o take_v upon_o he_o the_o form_n of_o a_o servant_n what_o be_v that_o not_o the_o shape_n of_o man_n but_o the_o essential_a form_n of_o a_o servant_n so_o also_o he_o be_v in_o the_o essential_a form_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o equal_a to_o god_n col._n 2.9_o
