A09984	Mount Ebal, or A heavenly treatise of divine love Shewing the equity and necessity of his being accursed that loves not the Lord Iesus Christ. Together with the motives meanes markes of our love towards him.

and_o that_o god_n have_v accept_v the_o atonement_n for_o thou_o in_o he_o thou_o can_v never_o love_v he_o as_o a_o brother_n or_o friend_n but_o rather_o fear_v he_o as_o a_o enemy_n or_o judge_n

as_o much_o as_o he_o desire_v of_o thou_o but_o thou_o will_v say_v object_n it_o may_v be_v he_o be_v affect_v to_o this_o or_o that_o person_n and_o not_o to_o i_o to_o which_o i_o answer_v again_o that_o his_o commission_n be_v general_a solu_fw-la go_v preach_v unto_o all_o nation_n 19_o baptise_v they_o &c._n &c._n and_o so_o be_v his_o invitation_n too_o 28._o come_v unto_o i_o all_o you_o

you_o hear_v before_o joh._n 6._o 37._o and_o when_o thou_o have_v consider_v this_o then_o begin_v to_o argue_v and_o reason_n thus_o with_o thyself_o since_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v to_o all_o i_o know_v i_o be_o one_o of_o that_o number_n and_o then_o thou_o will_v begin_v to_o love_v he_o for_o all_o thou_o be_v a_o sinner_n yea_o thou_o will_v love_v he_o so_o much_o the_o more_o for_o that_o to_o consider_v that_o for_o all_o that_o he_o love_v thou_o oh_o but_o thou_o will_v say_v i_o see_v i_o sin_n daily_o and_o hourly_o and_o that_o again_o and_o again_o against_o many_o vow_n

and_o purge_v thou_o from_o the_o same_o so_o that_o still_o i_o say_v if_o thou_o will_v but_o love_v and_o believe_v in_o he_o he_o will_v love_v thou_o for_o notwithstanding_o all_o this_o he_o still_o woe_n and_o sue_v unto_o thou_o for_o thy_o love_n and_o therefore_o stand_v no_o long_o out_o with_o he_o but_o come_v in_o with_o all_o the_o speed_n thou_o can_v make_v which_o that_o thou_o may_v the_o better_o do_v thou_o must_v remove_v these_o two_o hindrance_n out_o of_o the_o way_n strangeness_n worldly_a mindedness_n first_o strangeness_n for_o strangeness_n beget_v coldness_n of_o love_n whereas_o familiarity_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o procure_v boldness_n in_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n but_o thou_o will_v say_v how_o shall_v i_o come_v to_o be_v acquaint_v with_o god_n quest._n how_o answ._n why_o be_v much_o in_o his_o praise_n in_o hear_v of_o the_o word_n and_o receive_v of_o the_o sacrament_n there_o be_v a_o communion_n of_o saint_n you_o know_v and_o so_o there_o be_v a_o communion_n of_o god_n with_o the_o saint_n let_v we_o therefore_o be_v careful_a to_o maintain_v this_o communion_n betwixt_o we_o by_o have_v recourse_n unto_o he_o in_o his_o ordinance_n and_o seek_v unto_o he_o for_o comfort_n in_o all_o our_o trouble_n and_o adversity_n second_o worldly_a mindedness_n that_o also_o beget_v coldness_n of_o affection_n and_o want_v of_o love_n to_o the_o lord_n christ_n and_o therefore_o he_o circumcise_v the_o heart_n 6._o that_o be_v he_o put_v off_o all_o carnal_a and_o worldly_a affection_n from_o it_o that_o so_o thou_o may_v not_o love_v the_o world_n nor_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n but_o may_v love_v he_o with_o all_o the_o heart_n and_o with_o all_o etc._n etc._n for_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n be_v enmity_n with_o god_n so_o that_o if_o any_o man_n love_v the_o world_n the_o love_n of_o the_o father_n be_v not_o in_o he_o for_o you_o can_v serve_v god_n and_o mammon_n and_o therefore_o our_o saviour_n say_v that_o we_o must_v not_o only_o forsake_v but_o hate_v father_n and_o mother_n and_o wife_n and_o child_n and_o house_n and_o land_n for_o his_o sake_n and_o the_o gospel_n or_o else_o we_o can_v be_v his_o disciple_n so_o do_v the_o apostle_n we_o have_v forsake_v all_o and_o follow_v thou_o wherefore_o let_v we_o not_o set_v these_o thing_n too_o near_o our_o heart_n but_o consider_v what_o it_o be_v that_o keep_v we_o asunder_o as_o vain_a hope_n worldly_a fear_n fantastic_a pride_n pleasure_n profit_n and_o the_o like_a let_v we_o cashier_v they_o and_o cast_v they_o from_o we_o for_o what_o be_v all_o these_o and_o all_o such_o as_o these_o be_v but_o vain_a thing_n that_o can_v profit_v in_o the_o evil_a day_n and_o therefore_o as_o samuel_n exhort_v the_o people_n of_o israel_n turn_v not_o aside_o from_o the_o lord_n unto_o they_o either_o to_o the_o right_a hand_n or_o to_o the_o left_a for_o they_o can_v profit_v because_o they_o be_v vain_a but_o thou_o will_v say_v will_v god_n then_o be_v content_a with_o any_o love_n quest._n i_o answer_v no_o true_o that_o he_o will_v not_o neither_o answ._n what_o then_o answer_n first_o thou_o must_v love_v he_o withal_o thy_o strength_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o power_n with_o all_o the_o part_n and_o faculty_n of_o soul_n and_o body_n now_o it_o may_v be_v thou_o be_v a_o magistrate_n a_o master_n of_o a_o family_n a_o minister_n a_o tutor_n or_o any_o other_o governor_n and_o then_o thou_o must_v do_v god_n more_o service_n than_o another_o private_a and_o inferior_a person_n thou_o may_v compel_v they_o that_o be_v under_o thou_o to_o love_v the_o lord_n by_o thy_o authority_n and_o example_n god_n look_v for_o this_o i_o say_v at_o thy_o hand_n for_o to_o who_o much_o be_v give_v of_o they_o much_o shall_v be_v require_v thou_o be_v but_o as_o a_o servant_n send_v to_o market_n which_o must_v give_v a_o account_n for_o what_o he_o have_v receive_v and_o the_o more_o money_n he_o have_v give_v he_o to_o bestow_v and_o lay_v out_o the_o more_o commodity_n his_o master_n look_v he_o shall_v bring_v home_o with_o he_o for_o it_o so_o the_o more_o wit_n or_o understanding_n or_o learning_n or_o knowledge_n or_o authority_n and_o power_n thou_o have_v the_o more_o love_n must_v thou_o bear_v unto_o christ_n and_o show_v it_o by_o thy_o bring_v forth_o more_o fruit_n thereof_o unto_o he_o than_o other_o that_o have_v none_o of_o all_o these_o opportunity_n or_o not_o in_o so_o great_a a_o measure_n as_o thou_o have_v this_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n second_o thou_o must_v love_v he_o above_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n beside_o whether_o it_o be_v pleasure_n or_o honour_n

final_o three_o seek_v and_o endeavour_v the_o protection_n and_o preservation_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o love_v as_o it_o on_o the_o other_o side_n shun_v and_o avoid_v aught_o that_o may_v endanger_v the_o destruction_n thereof_o and_o if_o notwithstanding_o it_o meet_v with_o it_o interpose_v itself_o betwixt_o it_o and_o that_o to_o defend_v it_o as_o the_o arm_n ward_v the_o blow_n from_o the_o head_n albeit_o it_o be_v to_o the_o wound_n of_o itself_o and_o when_o these_o three_o concur_v together_o when_o our_o love_n have_v these_o three_o concommitant_n and_o be_v attend_v with_o these_o fruit_n and_o effect_n as_o you_o hear_v before_o that_o it_o thus_o desire_v the_o fruition_n conjunction_n preservation_n of_o christ._n then_o may_v we_o distinguish_v it_o from_o all_o sensual_a and_o carnal_a love_n for_o there_o be_v many_o sort_n of_o love_n in_o the_o world_n but_o it_o be_v all_o but_o worldly_a love_n not_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a love_n first_o there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o pity_n as_o when_o we_o bewail_v a_o man_n case_n but_o hate_v his_o deed_n so_o be_v malefactor_n belove_v second_o there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o desire_n as_o when_o the_o stomach_n desire_v sweet_a meat_n the_o ear_n delightsome_a sound_n and_o the_o eye_n fine_a sight_n etc._n etc._n three_o there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o complusment_n when_o one_o lust_n or_o belong_v after_o a_o thing_n with_o the_o whole_a heart_n or_o soul_n so_o as_o he_o can_v subsist_v without_o it_o as_o a_o woman_n with_o child_n lust_v and_o long_v after_o a_o thing_n she_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o which_o she_o can_v fafe_o go_v without_o four_o there_o be_v love_n of_o friendship_n when_o one_o man_n love_v another_o for_o some_o courtesy_n or_o kindness_n he_o have_v receive_v from_o he_o five_o and_o last_o there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o dependence_n when_o a_o man_n love_v god_n more_o than_o himself_o more_o than_o his_o life_n and_o depend_v upon_o he_o for_o all_o good_a thing_n belong_v to_o body_n or_o soul_n or_o to_o be_v more_o brief_a there_o be_v a_o natural_a sinful_a spiritual_a love_n 23._o the_o first_o be_v betwixt_o parent_n and_o child_n and_o in_o itself_o be_v neither_o good_a nor_o evil_a 13._o the_o second_o arise_v from_o evil_a habit_n breed_v in_o the_o soul_n and_o it_o be_v most_o hateful_a to_o god_n and_o make_v we_o worse_o than_o the_o brute_n beast_n the_o three_o be_v that_o divine_a gift_n and_o grace_n of_o god_n which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n put_v into_o our_o heart_n whereby_o we_o be_v more_o than_o man_n and_o desire_v holy_a thing_n for_o themselves_o and_o this_o be_v that_o love_n which_o the_o apostle_n here_o call_v for_o in_o this_o place_n now_o if_o our_o love_n to_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v such_o we_o shall_v further_o know_v it_o by_o these_o two_o thing_n which_o always_o proceed_v and_o go_v before_o it_o as_o the_o former_a follow_v after_o it_o viz._n humiliation_n for_o sin_n past_a and_o faith_n in_o christ_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v first_o humiliation_n for_o sin_n past_a doct._n for_o till_o a_o man_n come_v to_o have_v a_o sight_n and_o sense_n of_o himself_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o sin_n he_o will_v never_o care_v for_o christ_n and_o when_o he_o have_v be_v thus_o cast_v down_o yet_o second_o without_o faith_n in_o christ_n whereby_o he_o apply_v he_o to_o himself_o and_o be_v persuade_v that_o he_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o he_o will_v not_o yet_o love_v he_o but_o rather_o hate_v he_o of_o the_o twain_o now_o the_o manner_n or_o mean_n of_o get_v of_o both_o these_o and_o so_o consequent_o of_o love_n into_o our_o heart_n be_v by_o the_o preach_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n by_o prayer_n and_o take_v he_o when_o he_o be_v offer_v and_o give_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o same_o for_o that_o end_n but_o now_o we_o must_v take_v christ_n as_o a_o husband_n take_v a_o wife_n or_o a_o wife_n a_o husband_n out_o of_o love_n to_o their_o person_n not_o to_o their_o portion_n and_o then_o shall_v we_o be_v the_o better_a subject_n unto_o he_o but_o except_o we_o be_v first_o humble_v as_o be_v before_o say_v for_o our_o sin_n and_o consider_v in_o what_o need_n thou_o stand_v of_o he_o how_o that_o without_o he_o thou_o must_v perish_v till_o then_o i_o say_v thou_o can_v not_o sufficient_o set_v by_o he_o nor_o love_v he_o aright_o but_o when_o thou_o know_v how_o necessary_a he_o be_v for_o thou_o how_o alsufficient_a and_o affectionate_a he_o be_v towards_o thou_o than_o thou_o begin_v to_o look_v at_o christ_n as_o a_o condemn_a person_n do_v at_o he_o that_o bring_v a_o pardon_n for_o he_o who_o he_o love_v and_o belong_v after_o joy_n and_o rejoice_v in_o and_o yet_o all_o this_o be_v but_o a_o preparative_n to_o our_o love_n of_o he_o it_o be_v faith_n that_o be_v the_o first_o fountain_n whereby_o we_o so_o love_v he_o as_o that_o we_o can_v cleave_v unto_o he_o with_o purpose_n of_o heart_n to_o serve_v and_o please_v he_o in_o all_o thing_n and_o this_o love_n which_o thus_o arise_v from_o faith_n do_v not_o only_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v merciful_a and_o will_v forgive_v thou_o thy_o sin_n upon_o thy_o supplication_n and_o repentance_n unto_o he_o for_o the_o same_o but_o also_o that_o he_o be_v most_o fit_a and_o conformable_a for_o thou_o so_o that_o thou_o can_v find_v in_o thy_o heart_n to_o be_v anathaematize_v for_o his_o sake_n and_o to_o be_v divorce_v from_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n for_o love_n of_o he_o and_o so_o much_o for_o the_o second_o thing_n also_o i_o come_v now_o to_o the_o last_o to_o wit_n three_o to_o the_o reason_n why_o he_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v have_v in_o execration_n and_o to_o be_v curse_v even_o to_o the_o death_n that_o love_v not_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o they_o be_v chief_o these_o five_o first_o reas._n because_o when_o christ_n shall_v come_v and_o be_v a_o suitor_n unto_o we_o to_o love_v he_o and_o we_o refuse_v to_o do_v it_o and_o to_o be_v reconcile_v unto_o he_o and_o receive_v he_o than_o he_o grow_v angry_a to_o the_o death_n you_o may_v see_v this_o in_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o marriage_n of_o the_o king_n son_n how_o wroth_a he_o be_v when_o he_o hear_v they_o have_v abuse_v and_o beat_v his_o servant_n which_o he_o send_v to_o call_v they_o to_o the_o 2._o wedding_n and_o therefore_o the_o prophet_n david_n bid_v we_o kiss_v the_o son_n lest_o he_o be_v angry_a 12._o and_o so_o etc._n etc._n that_o be_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v when_o he_o offer_v himself_o to_o kiss_v you_o with_o the_o kiss_n of_o his_o mouth_n be_v not_o too_o coy_a and_o curious_a but_o embrace_v his_o offer_n return_v his_o courtesy_n with_o the_o like_a kindness_n and_o kiss_v he_o again_o lest_o he_o take_v it_o in_o great_a indignation_n at_o your_o hand_n and_o be_v so_o angry_a with_o you_o that_o you_o die_v for_o it_o indeed_o when_o we_o know_v not_o the_o gospel_n he_o be_v content_a though_o we_o be_v froward_a and_o fruitless_a but_o now_o that_o he_o send_v his_o desciple_n to_o preach_v unto_o all_o nation_n then_o if_o they_o bring_v not_o forth_o fruit_n worthy_a amendment_n of_o life_n he_o tell_v they_o the_o axe_n be_v lay_v unto_o the_o root_n etc._n etc._n second_o because_o he_o that_o in_o old_a time_n break_v the_o law_n be_v accurse_v now_o this_o be_v the_o lord_n commandment_n 37._o that_o we_o love_v he_o but_o you_o will_v say_v we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o ourselves_o object_n and_o how_o then_o shall_v we_o do_v it_o i_o answer_v sol._n there_o be_v a_o twofold_a obedience_n legal_a and_o evangelicall_n that_o require_v exact_a obedience_n in_o our_o own_o person_n but_o this_o require_v no_o more_o but_o only_o our_o endeavour_n and_o faith_n in_o christ._n three_o because_o he_o love_v something_o else_o more_o than_o god_n and_o so_o commit_v adultery_n now_o she_o that_o in_o the_o old_a law_n do_v commit_v

therefore_o say_v saint_n john_n we_o love_v he_o because_o he_o love_v we_o first_o that_o be_v his_o love_n to_o we_o shall_v make_v we_o love_v he_o again_o but_o especial_o we_o can_v but_o love_v

his_o power_n know_v upon_o we_o that_o we_o be_v but_o vessel_n of_o wrath_n fit_v for_o destruction_n as_o it_o be_v say_v again_o second_o it_o shall_v exhort_v we_o to_o love_v the_o lord_n

to_o fulfil_v his_o commandment_n and_o with_o facility_n and_o ease_n whereas_o else_o they_o will_v be_v grievous_a unto_o we_o as_o for_o example_n saint_n paul_n will_v soon_o have_v be_v weary_a of_o preach_v and_o suffer_v so_o much_o as_o he_o do_v if_o he_o have_v not_o have_v this_o love_n in_o he_o and_o why_o do_v parent_n think_v nothing_o too_o much_o for_o their_o child_n but_o because_o they_o love_v they_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o though_o they_o be_v froward_a and_o untoward_a yet_o still_o they_o bear_v with_o they_o if_o then_o we_o can_v find_v in_o our_o heart_n to_o be_v quiet_a until_o they_o look_v to_o the_o lord_n like_v as_o the_o needle_n of_o a_o compass_n which_o be_v touch_v with_o a_o loadstone_n will_v never_o stand_v still_o till_o it_o come_v

and_o here_o by_o the_o way_n take_v this_o difference_n along_o with_o thou_o to_o distinguish_v thy_o love_n from_o self_n love_n for_o that_o be_v all_o for_o itself_o but_o this_o be_v all_o for_o he_o who_o thou_o love_v if_o then_o thou_o love_v the_o lord_n for_o thy_o own_o good_a it_o be_v self_n love_n but_o if_o thou_o love_v he_o for_o himself_o simple_o without_o any_o respect_n to_o
