of_o any_o good_a that_o be_v that_o sin_n shall_v have_v any_o power_n any_o influence_n into_o that_o good_a effect_n that_o god_n bring_v out_o of_o it_o as_o affliction_n have_v god_n do_v not_o

affliction_n be_v sanctify_v by_o god_n to_o do_v good_a therefore_o sin_n be_v a_o great_a evil_n than_o affliction_n sin_n be_v so_o evil_a that_o it_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o any_o work_n of_o

if_o that_o be_v true_a that_o thou_o think_v that_o god_n do_v approve_v of_o thy_o wicked_a way_n god_n must_v cease_v to_o be_v god_n god_n will_v be_v god_n no_o long_o quest_n why_o how_o do_v this_o appear_v answ_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o because_o than_o god_n be_v not_o infinite_o holy_a and_o holiness_n be_v god_n be_v and_o if_o god_n be_v not_o infinite_o holy_a he_o be_v not_o god_n at_o all_o but_o cease_v to_o be_v present_o which_o be_v impossible_a and_o blasphemous_a to_o think_v 5._o such_o be_v the_o evil_a of_o sin_n so_o opposite_a to_o god_n nature_n that_o if_o god_n do_v not_o hate_v sin_n as_o much_o as_o he_o do_v he_o will_v cease_v to_o be_v a_o god_n not_o only_o if_o he_o do_v allow_v of_o it_o and_o like_v of_o it_o for_o he_o may_v permit_v it_o in_o his_o creature_n and_o not_o like_a of_o it_o but_o i_o say_v if_o god_n do_v not_o hate_v sin_n so_o much_o as_o he_o do_v hate_v it_o if_o it_o can_v be_v conceive_v that_o god_n can_v but_o hate_v sin_n somewhat_o less_o than_o he_o do_v i_o say_v he_o will_v instant_o cease_v to_o be_v a_o god_n he_o can_v not_o remain_v to_o be_v god_n one_o moment_n if_o he_o do_v cease_v to_o hate_v sin_n in_o any_o degree_n less_o than_o he_o do_v quest_n why_o how_o do_v this_o appear_v answ_n thus_o if_o god_n cease_v to_o hate_v sin_n i_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o the_o manifest_v of_o his_o hatred_n but_o that_o which_o be_v his_o nature_n that_o be_v proportionable_a to_o hatred_n as_o we_o say_v if_o god_n do_v not_o hate_v it_o so_o much_o as_o he_o do_v than_o he_o do_v not_o hate_v sin_n infinite_o for_o there_o can_v be_v any_o infinite_a and_o less_o than_o infinite_a stand_n together_o these_o two_o can_v ever_o stand_v that_o it_o shall_v be_v infinite_a and_o less_o than_o so_o and_o remain_v infinite_a if_o it_o be_v infinite_a it_o remain_v so_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o degree_n under_o that_o it_o must_v be_v finite_a now_o if_o god_n hatred_n to_o sin_n be_v less_o than_o it_o be_v it_o will_v be_v but_o a_o finite_a hatred_n and_o if_o it_o be_v a_o finite_a hatred_n than_o god_n can_v not_o be_v infinite_o holy_a for_o infinite_a holiness_n must_v needs_o have_v infinite_a hatred_n against_o sin_n i_o beseech_v you_o observe_v this_o for_o you_o be_v ready_a to_o think_v though_o god_n be_v against_o sin_n and_o hate_v it_o yet_o i_o hope_v god_n hate_v it_o not_o so_o much_o as_o many_o minister_n make_v of_o it_o tush_o god_n be_v not_o so_o much_o against_o sin_n as_o they_o speak_v of_o though_o its_o true_a when_o we_o do_v a_o miss_v we_o must_v cry_v god_n mercy_n and_o pray_v god_n to_o forgive_v we_o yet_o to_o make_v so_o much_o of_o sin_n as_o they_o do_v and_o that_o god_n set_v himself_o so_o much_o against_o it_o as_o they_o say_v this_o be_v but_o their_o opinion_n and_o he_o hope_v god_n do_v not_o hate_v it_o so_o much_o as_o they_o say_v oh_o brethren_n take_v heed_n of_o this_o opinion_n for_o if_o god_n shall_v hate_v sin_n less_o than_o he_o do_v he_o shall_v cease_v to_o be_v either_o he_o must_v hate_v sin_n with_o infinite_a hatred_n or_o he_o cease_v to_o be_v god_n so_o evil_a and_o opposite_a be_v sin_n to_o god_n nature_n and_o if_o these_o thing_n be_v true_a there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o evil_n in_o sin_n if_o there_o be_v nothing_o so_o opposite_a to_o god_n as_o sin_n and_o if_o but_o the_o least_o drop_n of_o sin_n shall_v get_v into_o god_n it_o will_v make_v god_n cease_v to_o be_v god_n and_o if_o he_o shall_v be_v but_o the_o cause_n of_o any_o sin_n in_o his_o

do_v not_o mean_v that_o it_o deserve_v eternal_a evil_n only_o but_o of_o itself_o it_o be_v eternal_a evil_n as_o thus_o grace_n do_v not_o only_o deserve_v eternal_a happiness_n but_o it_o be_v

to_o prevent_v affliction_n but_o for_o sin_n they_o do_v not_o lay_v up_o to_o prevent_v that_o whereas_o we_o shall_v be_v very_o solicitous_a lest_o we_o shall_v be_v draw_v into_o temptation_n and_o therefore_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o pray_v lead_v we_o not_o into_o temptation_n as_o well_o as_o forgive_v we_o our_o trespass_n true_a god_n keep_v i_o from_o such_o and_o such_o sin_n but_o

this_o be_v a_o happy_a thing_n indeed_o as_o when_o man_n hear_v of_o one_o that_o be_v break_v they_o will_v inquire_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n he_o have_v such_o a_o estate_n what_o be_v the_o

we_o will_v be_v wise_a to_o take_v heed_n of_o that_o which_o bring_v other_o to_o affliction_n so_o it_o shall_v be_v with_o we_o when_o we_o see_v any_o fall_n into_o sin_n professor_n that_o

that_o have_v such_o admirable_a gift_n and_o make_v such_o a_o profession_n oh_o may_v be_v all_o the_o time_n he_o have_v a_o proud_a heart_n therefore_o i_o will_v keep_v my_o heart_n humble_a oh_o

he_o be_v break_v now_o but_o what_o be_v the_o matter_n oh_o he_o begin_v to_o be_v sluggish_a and_o cold_a in_o closet_n work_v and_o such_o duty_n in_o his_o family_n oh_o let_v i_o take_v heed_n and_o keep_v up_o communion_n with_o god_n in_o secret_a in_o my_o closet_n and_o in_o my_o family_n he_o break_v indeed_o but_o how_o oh_o some_o secret_a sin_n he_o keep_v in_o his_o bosom_n there_o be_v some_o secret_a sin_n he_o let_v his_o heart_n hanker_v after_o and_o now_o god_n have_v leave_v he_o to_o it_o now_o by_o god_n grace_n i_o will_v look_v to_o myself_o i_o will_v by_o the_o
