two_o thing_n be_v remember_v first_o that_o when_o the_o word_n of_o knowledge_n do_v together_o by_o connotation_n imply_v affection_n much_o more_o do_v the_o word_n of_o belief_n and_o ergo_fw-la where_o i_o find_v to_o believe_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n i_o must_v conceive_v this_o belief_n to_o contain_v confidence_n in_o the_o son_n second_o to_o remember_v that_o when_o faith_n of_o any_o temporary_a promise_n be_v say_v to_o be_v account_v for_o righteousness_n it_o be_v because_o it_o do_v in_o believe_v the_o thing_n temporal_a apprehend_v he_o in_o who_o all_o the_o promise_n be_v yea_o and_o amen_n who_o be_v at_o least_o the_o remove_v object_n of_o a_o justify_n faith_n in_o every_o thing_n it_o apprehend_v thus_o abraham_n believe_v the_o promise_n of_o seed_n of_o isaac_n do_v apprehend_v that_o bless_a seed_n which_o have_v from_o the_o beginning_n be_v promise_v and_o see_v his_o day_n which_o the_o apostle_n do_v testify_v gal._n 3._o neither_o do_v he_o look_v at_o the_o power_n of_o god_n but_o to_o sustain_v his_o belief_n of_o a_o seed_n before_o promise_v against_o the_o temptation_n wherewith_o god_n do_v exercise_v he_o that_o we_o have_v a_o particular_a word_n and_o in_o effect_n to_o believe_v on_o christ_n unto_o forgiveness_n of_o our_o sin_n i_o have_v show_v above_o use_v wherefore_o let_v we_o rest_v on_o christ_n alone_o as_o our_o rock_n fly_v to_o he_o as_o our_o true_a sanctuary_n this_o papist_n come_v to_o in_o death_n renounce_v any_o confidence_n in_o their_o foolery_n this_o themselves_n give_v testimony_n unto_o that_o it_o be_v the_o sure_a and_o he_o be_v not_o wise_a who_o will_v not_o take_v the_o safe_a way_n for_o his_o soul_n salvation_n doct._n 3_o the_o three_o doctrine_n be_v that_o faith_n and_o love_n be_v never_o disjoin_v but_o go_v each_o in_o hand_n one_o with_o the_o other_o from_o what_o time_n we_o believe_v man_n will_v do_v any_o great_a good_a thing_n for_o we_o we_o feel_v a_o love_n arise_v towards_o they_o so_o from_o what_o time_n by_o faith_n we_o apprehend_v love_n in_o god_n towards_o we_o through_o christ_n we_o feel_v love_n reflect_v from_o we_o towards_o he_o according_a to_o that_o we_o love_v he_o because_o we_o have_v know_v and_o believe_v his_o love_n to_o we_o first_o faith_n must_v bring_v the_o holy_a fire_n of_o god_n love_n into_o our_o freeze_a heart_n or_o they_o will_v never_o be_v warm_v with_o fervent_a love_n to_o god_n again_o the_o sinful_a soul_n do_v see_v god_n love_n forgive_a it_o many_o sin_n than_o it_o love_v much_o again_o in_o nature_n we_o see_v nothing_o can_v move_v in_o desire_n to_o this_o or_o that_o till_o first_o it_o have_v apprehend_v it_o lovely_a so_o our_o affection_n can_v in_o love_n and_o desire_n move_v to_o and_o unite_v themselves_o with_o god_n till_o by_o faith_n we_o do_v discern_v he_o as_o reconcile_v to_o we_o &_o so_o become_v a_o amiable_a object_n for_o we_o sinner_n to_o embrace_v till_o that_o faith_n discern_v this_o nothing_o but_o wrath_n like_o a_o consume_a fire_n abide_v over_o us._n hence_o it_o be_v that_o saint_n paul_n 1_o tim._n make_v love_n to_o flow_v from_o faith_n unfeigned_a and_o gal._n 5._o he_o say_v that_o faith_n work_v by_o love_n not_o as_o fire_n make_v hot_a by_o heat_n which_o be_v a_o formal_a property_n inherent_a in_o it_o but_o as_o the_o soul_n do_v this_o or_o that_o by_o the_o hand_n which_o be_v a_o extern_a instrument_n conjoin_v unto_o it_o for_o love_n be_v not_o any_o essential_a cause_n which_o do_v give_v be_v to_o faith_n but_o it_o be_v a_o grace_n without_o the_o be_v of_o faith_n though_o join_v unto_o by_o which_o as_o a_o instrument_n faith_n work_v use_v 1_o the_o use_n of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v to_o show_v how_o unjust_o they_o slander_v we_o as_o teach_v a_o faith_n alone_o without_o other_o grace_n when_o we_o hold_v according_a to_o the_o scripture_n that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o true_a faith_n without_o love_n nor_o love_n without_o true_a faith_n for_o the_o first_o be_v but_o a_o dead_a carcase_n this_o latter_a be_v but_o blind_a devotion_n neither_o be_v please_v to_o god_n indeed_o we_o teach_v that_o faith_n justifi_v we_o alone_o without_o other_o grace_n not_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o presence_n but_o in_o regard_n of_o their_o coworking_a with_o faith_n to_o this_o effect_n of_o our_o justification_n it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o say_v the_o eye_n be_v in_o the_o head_n without_o other_o sense_n and_o another_o thing_n to_o say_v the_o eye_n do_v see_v alone_o no_o other_o sense_n see_v with_o it_o use_v 2_o this_o must_v make_v we_o try_v the_o truth_n of_o our_o faith_n for_o if_o our_o heart_n have_v not_o be_v kindle_v with_o love_n to_o god_n they_o never_o true_o believe_v his_o love_n in_o christ_n we_o may_v easy_o carry_v coal_n in_o our_o bosom_n without_o burn_v then_o by_o faith_n apprehend_v true_o this_o love_n of_o our_o god_n without_o find_v our_o heart_n burn_v in_o love_n to_o he_o answerable_o use_v 3_o we_o see_v that_o love_n be_v a_o effect_n follow_v faith_n even_o love_v to_o god_n himself_o they_o make_v the_o tree_n to_o bear_v the_o root_n who_o will_v have_v love_n give_v be_v to_o faith_n but_o this_o be_v but_o a_o consequent_a of_o lombard_n error_n who_o do_v hold_v love_n to_o be_v no_o other_o thing_n then_o the_o holy_a ghost_n himself_o doct._n 4_o observe_v last_o who_o be_v the_o person_n on_o who_o the_o love_n of_o true_a believer_n be_v set_v viz._n the_o saint_n yea_o all_o saint_n true_a christian_a love_n next_o to_o god_n and_o our_o own_o soul_n make_v we_o affect_v those_o who_o be_v sanctify_v who_o express_v the_o virtue_n in_o their_o life_n of_o our_o heavenly_a father_n by_o who_o we_o be_v call_v from_o darkness_n to_o light_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o saint_n the_o household_n of_o faith_n the_o brethren_n be_v commend_v as_o person_n who_o we_o must_v affect_v and_o do_v good_a to_o before_o all_o other_o thus_o our_o god_n love_v psalm_n 147.10_o not_o the_o strength_n of_o horse_n nor_o leg_n of_o man_n but_o those_o that_o fear_v he_o be_v his_o delight_n thus_o christ_n love_v who_o be_v my_o father_n and_o mother_n etc._n etc._n he_o that_o hear_v and_o obey_v thus_o paul_n and_o david_n love_v we_o love_v none_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n all_o my_o delight_n be_v in_o the_o saint_n in_o they_o who_o excel_v in_o virtue_n every_o creature_n love_v and_o like_v to_o be_v with_o those_o who_o be_v unite_v with_o it_o in_o communication_n of_o the_o same_o nature_n so_o sanctify_a christian_n can_v but_o love_n and_o like_a to_o be_v most_o with_o they_o who_o have_v receive_v the_o like_a divine_a nature_n in_o which_o themselves_o be_v partaker_n yea_o it_o love_v all_o saint_n not_o such_o who_o have_v other_o part_n please_v and_o contentful_a but_o it_o love_v every_o one_o in_o who_o it_o can_v see_v the_o image_n of_o god_n shine_v for_o it_o can_v be_v but_o that_o love_n which_o true_o love_v one_o person_n as_o he_o be_v holy_a show_v d_o love_v every_o one_o so_o far_o forth_o as_o he_o be_v holy_a yea_o though_o we_o be_v to_o esteem_v and_o inward_o affect_v man_n as_o we_o see_v they_o holy_a we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o show_v they_o the_o outward_a effect_n of_o our_o love_n answerable_o the_o near_a person_n be_v tie_v to_o we_o in_o natural_a and_o civil_a bond_n the_o more_o must_v our_o providence_n be_v for_o they_o and_o love_n show_v they_o in_o outward_a thing_n unless_o their_o foolish_a lewdness_n dispriviledge_v they_o this_o way_n for_o then_o the_o proverb_n take_v place_n a_o wise_a servant_n may_v be_v prefer_v before_o a_o foolish_a child_n use_v 1_o this_o then_o do_v reprove_v many_o who_o indeed_o hate_n and_o will_v show_v it_o be_v it_o policy_n those_o who_o endeavour_n to_o live_v holy_o traduce_v the_o name_n of_o saint_n nickname_v they_o as_o puritan_n such_o who_o can_v be_v themselves_o but_o when_o they_o be_v in_o company_n with_o swearer_n gamester_n good_a fellow_n such_o who_o will_v seem_v to_o relish_v some_o odd_a person_n who_o be_v indeed_o true_o holy_a but_o other_o in_o who_o holiness_n be_v apparent_a they_o can_v endure_v it_o be_v to_o be_v fear_v they_o love_v those_o who_o they_o do_v not_o because_o they_o see_v holiness_n but_o for_o some_o by_o respect_n which_o within_o themselves_o they_o have_v conceive_v some_o who_o be_v all_o for_o a_o sound_a just_a deal_n well_o nature_a man_n though_o he_o be_v never_o such_o a_o stranger_n from_o matter_n of_o religion_n yea_o i_o will_v many_o of_o the_o lord_n child_n through_o self-love_n do_v not_o love_v too_o well_o
glory_n will_v deny_v these_o glorious_a gift_n which_o he_o be_v about_o to_o entreat_v when_o man_n come_v to_o ask_v at_o those_o who_o have_v enough_o of_o that_o they_o seek_v and_o to_o ask_v it_o in_o such_o measure_n only_o as_o that_o it_o be_v not_o any_o thing_n for_o those_o they_o sue_v unto_o to_o vouchsafe_v they_o easy_o persuade_v themselves_o that_o they_o shall_v speed_v this_o make_v paul_n still_o set_v god_n before_o he_o as_o have_v that_o in_o he_o for_o which_o he_o pray_v the_o god_n of_o peace_n sanctify_v you_o throughout_o 1_o thes_n 5._o subdue_v those_o

consider_v of_o god_n as_o a_o god_n with_o who_o there_o be_v plenty_n of_o redemption_n or_o forgiveness_n will_v thou_o have_v ease_n in_o any_o misery_n and_o grief_n consider_v of_o he_o as_o a_o

they_o to_o be_v where_o we_o be_v in_o look_v they_o and_o we_o follow_v they_o more_o affectionate_o when_o now_o we_o be_v get_v after_o a_o manner_n into_o the_o sight_n of_o they_o doct._n 2_o observe_v second_o that_o even_o true_a believer_n have_v great_a want_n of_o heavenly_a wisdom_n as_o child_n and_o youth_n when_o they_o have_v in_o their_o measure_n that_o wisdom_n which_o belong_v to_o their_o kind_n yet_o they_o want_v in_o great_a measure_n the_o same_o wisdom_n in_o which_o they_o partake_v so_o it_o be_v with_o god_n child_n when_o now_o they_o have_v that_o wisdom_n from_o above_o in_o some_o degree_n yet_o they_o be_v many_o degree_n short_a of_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v attain_v yea_o our_o saviour_n himself_o the_o head_n of_o we_o do_v so_o receive_v wisdom_n that_o there_o be_v place_n for_o growth_n and_o increase_n in_o it_o luke_n 2._o fine_a what_o do_v the_o want_n of_o wisdom_n in_o child_n which_o we_o may_v not_o observe_v in_o ourselves_o they_o see_v not_o thing_n together_o with_o the_o end_n they_o work_v unto_o and_o hence_o it_o be_v they_o count_v such_o thing_n good_a as_o to_o their_o sense_n seem_v so_o for_o the_o present_a they_o think_v those_o love_v they_o who_o cocker_v they_o and_o that_o those_o do_v not_o love_v they_o who_o reprove_v they_o or_o hold_v they_o in_o more_o than_o they_o be_v willing_a thus_o we_o think_v it_o happiness_n to_o have_v that_o content_v we_o to_o be_v free_a from_o that_o which_o be_v grievous_a to_o flesh_n or_o spirit_n we_o think_v god_n love_n while_o he_o smile_v

be_v unwilling_a to_o suffer_v that_o shall_v do_v they_o good_a backward_o to_o that_o will_v do_v they_o good_a another_o day_n for_o a_o matter_n of_o present_a pleasure_n will_v part_v with_o thing_n of_o no_o small_a profit_n be_v not_o the_o best_a of_o we_o unwilling_a to_o come_v under_o god_n yoke_n though_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n to_o find_v rest_n to_o our_o soul_n be_v

part_n with_o our_o peace_n yea_o the_o health_n of_o our_o spirit_n too_o often_o three_o child_n for_o want_n of_o wisdom_n forget_v the_o beat_n past_o when_o now_o the_o smart_n be_v over_o and_o
