word_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o cut_v one_o another_o throat_n so_o that_o they_o confess_v their_o life_n to_o be_v little_a worth_n see_v they_o will_v hazard_v they_o for_o so_o little_a make_v it_o a_o every_o day_n exercise_n but_o if_o god_n be_v blaspheme_v &_o his_o truth_n slander_v if_o his_o name_n be_v abuse_v before_o their_o eye_n they_o remain_v unmoveable_a and_o bear_v a_o part_n therein_o we_o be_v leper_n without_o feel_v in_o spiritual_a thing_n but_o very_o sensible_a in_o carnal_a we_o go_v for_o curiosity_n unto_o sermon_n where_o god_n truth_n be_v oppose_v against_o and_o our_o presence_n by_o the_o weak_a take_v for_o a_o approbation_n but_o we_o will_v be_v loath_a to_o be_v find_v i●_n a_o place_n or_o company_n where_o the_o honour_n of_o our_o house_n shall_v be_v defame_v but_o to_o contradict_v the_o same_o let_v we_o undergo_v in_o this_o point_n a_o voluntary_a condemnation_n and_o let_v we_o acknowledge_v that_o this_o spiritual_a feel_n be_v very_o feeble_a in_o we_o to_o the_o end_n we_o may_v crave_v of_o god_n to_o awaken_v it_o by_o quicken_a we_o with_o his_o love_n from_o these_o five_o degree_n and_o five_o mark_n you_o may_v easy_o gather_v that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n consist_v not_o only_o in_o have_v a_o good_a opinion_n of_o he_o or_o to_o have_v a_o good_a feel_n or_o to_o speak_v well_o of_o he_o but_o that_o chief_o it_o consist_v in_o obey_v he_o and_o conform_v we_o to_o his_o wil._n so_o god_n in_o his_o law_n say_v that_o he_o show_v mercy_n unto_o they_o which_o love_v he_o but_o he_o add_v &_o which_o keep_v my_o commandment_n and_o jesus_n christ_n joh._n 14._o who_o so_o love_v i_o will_v keep_v my_o say_n and_o the_o same_o apostle_n in_o another_o place_n 3._o my_o little_a child_n love_v not_o in_o word_n neither_o in_o tongue_n only_o but_o in_o deed_n and_o in_o truth_n so_o s._n james_n say_v 17_o that_o pure_a and_o underfield_o religion_n before_o god_n be_v to_o visit_v the_o fatherless_a and_o widow_n in_o their_o adversity_n and_o to_o keep_v ourselves_o unspotted_a of_o the_o world_n but_o there_o be_v many_o that_o be_v religious_a in_o speech_n not_o in_o action_n and_o who_o study_n to_o be_v more_o skilful_a not_o more_o wise_a who_o confess_v god_n with_o their_o lip_n but_o deny_v he_o in_o their_o heart_n like_o unto_o those_o which_o strike_v jesus_n christ_n say_v haile_o master_n or_o to_o rabshakeh_n who_o speak_v not_o the_o language_n of_o the_o people_n of_o god_n but_o for_o to_o dishonour_v he_o withal_o he_o know_v not_o god_n who_o love_v he_o not_o &_o he_o love_v he_o not_o who_o obei_v not_o his_o wil._n the_o child_n of_o eli_n be_v instruct_v in_o the_o will_n of_o god_n for_o be_v priest_n they_o teach_v it_o unto_o

in_o word_n but_o in_o power_n it_o be_v even_o so_o with_o his_o love_n so_o david_n in_o the_o 33._o psal_n say_v that_o praise_n be_v very_o comely_a but_o he_o add_v in_o the_o mouth_n of_o just_a man_n as_o for_o the_o wicked_a god_n say_v unto_o he_o in_o the_o 50_o psalm_n wherefore_o take_v thou_o my_o word_n into_o thy_o mouth_n for_o this_o cause_n be_v it_o that_o jesus_n christ_n when_o the_o devil_n confess_v he_o say_v unto_o he_o hold_v thy_o peace_n hold_v thy_o peace_n for_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n and_o the_o truth_n of_o religion_n be_v vilify_v and_o debase_v in_o the_o

or_o follow_v such_o as_o do_v good_a to_o their_o enemy_n while_o thou_o live_v in_o discord_n with_o thy_o brethren_n we_o protest_v all_o of_o we_o to_o love_n god_n but_o we_o better_o love_v
