on_o he_o and_o that_o christ_n will_v take_v he_o when_o this_o be_v do_v than_o a_o man_n receive_v christ_n by_o faith_n and_o from_o this_o faith_n issue_v this_o love_n these_o two_o great_a radical_a virtue_n faith_n and_o love_n be_v the_o two_o pillar_n as_o it_o be_v upon_o which_o the_o fabric_n of_o our_o salvation_n be_v build_v for_o nothing_o make_v we_o the_o son_n of_o god_n but_o such_o faith_n as_o be_v accompany_v with_o love_n and_o good_a work_n it_o be_v god_n pleasure_n to_o save_v we_o in_o this_o manner_n that_o it_o may_v be_v of_o grace_n to_o love_v any_o man_n because_o he_o be_v a_o christian_n and_o a_o child_n of_o god_n be_v a_o sensible_a and_o certain_a note_n that_o he_o be_v partaker_n of_o the_o true_a love_n of_o god_n in_o christ_n and_o it_o be_v much_o easy_a to_o love_v holiness_n in_o the_o saint_n then_o in_o god_n himself_o because_o he_o be_v far_o remote_a from_o we_o and_o they_o among_o we_o be_v visible_o see_v therefore_o unless_o we_o find_v our_o heart_n inward_o move_v to_o love_v they_o yea_o with_o a_o natural_a affection_n as_o it_o be_v we_o but_o pretend_v to_o love_v god_n love_n be_v a_o command_a affection_n yea_o love_n and_o hatred_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o great_a lord_n and_o master_n that_o divide_v the_o affection_n between_o they_o now_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o hate_v god_n natural_o be_v by_o reason_n of_o that_o opposition_n and_o contrariety_n which_o be_v between_o god_n and_o every_o man_n by_o nature_n for_o all_o love_n come_v from_o similitude_n and_o agreeableness_n therefore_o this_o sinful_a nature_n of_o we_o must_v be_v break_v in_o piece_n and_o subdue_v again_o new-molded_n and_o frame_v before_o it_o can_v ever_o be_v fit_a to_o love_v god_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o any_o natural_a man_n that_o have_v the_o most_o impure_a heart_n may_v to_o escape_v hell_n and_o get_v heaven_n do_v all_o the_o work_v the_o papist_n require_v and_o for_o the_o same_o end_n that_o they_o require_v they_o but_o to_o do_v it_o out_o of_o love_n to_o god_n that_o be_v a_o thing_n no_o hypocrite_n can_v reach_v to_o and_o therefore_o the_o give_v a_o cup_n of_o cold_a water_n proceed_v from_o love_n be_v a_o better_a work_n than_o a_o martyrdom_n the_o give_v one_o body_n to_o be_v burn_v and_o all_o that_o he_o have_v to_o feed_v the_o poor_a if_o it_o come_v not_o from_o love_n yea_o than_o all_o this_o come_n not_o from_o love_n be_v to_o god_n more_o acceptable_a the_o very_a will_n of_o do_v the_o least_o good_a though_o the_o deed_n be_v never_o do_v so_o the_o will_v arise_v from_o this_o affection_n of_o love_n but_o when_o a_o man_n love_v not_o he_o break_v the_o whole_a law_n for_o as_o love_n be_v the_o keep_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n so_o the_o want_n of_o love_n be_v the_o breach_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n now_o true_a love_n look_v first_o to_o christ_n person_n next_o to_o the_o promise_n and_o benefit_n we_o have_v by_o he_o and_o this_o love_n to_o god_n do_v not_o so_o restrain_v we_o but_o we_o may_v love_v the_o creature_n also_o yet_o so_o that_o if_o this_o love_n to_o the_o creature_n do_v overbalance_n or_o any_o away_o lessen_v our_o love_n to_o god_n by_o the_o inordinateness_n of_o it_o to_o the_o creature_n then_o be_v it_o a_o adulterous_a love_n nor_o do_v it_o restrain_v our_o liberty_n for_o he_o that_o give_v his_o
