thousand_o million_o of_o world_n be_v now_o a_o conversation_n that_o become_v the_o revelatio_fw-la of_o such_o love_n must_v needs_o be_v this_o whatsoever_o then_o be_v dear_a to_o our_o soul_n let_v that_o be_v give_v up_o to_o god_n as_o it_o be_v a_o testimony_n of_o the_o love_n of_o abraham_n to_o god_n hereby_o i_o know_v thou_o love_v i_o why_o because_o he_o give_v up_o his_o isaac_n to_o god_n he_o will_v not_o spare_v his_o only_a son_n who_o he_o love_v so_o god_n show_v his_o love_n to_o we_o we_o may_v say_v lord_n hereby_o we_o know_v thou_o love_v we_o that_o thou_o have_v give_v thy_o isaac_n thy_o only_a son_n for_o we_o and_o hereby_o lord_n shall_v man_n and_o angel_n know_v that_o we_o love_v thou_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v dear_a to_o our_o soul_n thou_o shall_v have_v it_o we_o will_v offer_v it_o up_o to_o thou_o in_o way_n of_o sacrifice_n this_o be_v a_o conversation_n that_o become_v the_o gospel_n so_o that_o when_o god_n call_v for_o anything_o never_o think_v it_o much_o oh_o this_o be_v hard_a and_o costly_a and_o dear_a to_o i_o and_o how_o shall_v i_o part_v with_o this_o be_v this_o become_v the_o gospel_n to_o stand_v with_o god_n for_o any_o thing_n for_o thy_o love_n must_v be_v somewhat_o suitable_a to_o god_n his_o love_n be_v such_o as_o he_o give_v the_o dear_a to_o thou_o and_o thy_o love_n therefore_o if_o it_o run_v parallel_v with_o his_o must_v give_v the_o dear_a to_o he_o and_o then_o if_o we_o be_v act_v by_o love_n for_o that_o be_v the_o conversation_n that_o become_v the_o gospel_n to_o be_v act_v in_o all_o that_o we_o do_v with_o love_n to_o god_n to_o be_v in_o a_o flame_n of_o love_n continual_o as_o the_o salamander_n they_o say_v do_v always_o live_v in_o the_o fire_n so_o shall_v we_o do_v in_o the_o fire_n of_o love_n not_o in_o the_o fire_n of_o contention_n but_o now_o love_n have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o argument_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n but_o only_o this_o this_o thing_n will_v be_v please_v unto_o he_o that_o i_o do_v tender_a it_o unto_o it_o will_v please_v my_o father_n that_o be_v argument_n enough_o for_o love_n that_o if_o i_o do_v such_o a_o thing_n it_o will_v please_v my_o belove_a therefore_o never_o stand_v argue_v thus_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v a_o duty_n but_o be_v it_o necessity_n must_v i_o do_v it_o can_v a_o man_n be_v save_v unless_o he_o do_v it_o be_v all_o

all_o please_a let_v the_o heart_n present_o spring_v upon_o this_o there_o be_v such_o a_o thing_n propound_v out_o of_o the_o word_n at_o such_o a_o time_n and_o i_o hear_v it_o will_v be_v well_o please_v to_o god_n if_o i_o do_v this_o if_o we_o put_v but_o this_o upon_o you_o you_o that_o do_v not_o set_v up_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n in_o your_o family_n do_v not_o you_o think_v that_o

better_o than_o that_o conversation_n which_o you_o live_v in_o will_v it_o not_o be_v more_o please_v to_o god_n ask_v but_o your_o conscience_n now_o if_o your_o heart_n be_v act_v by_o love_n you_o will_v present_o fall_v upon_o that_o which_o your_o conscience_n tell_v you_o will_v be_v more_o please_v to_o god_n and_o then_o love_n this_o be_v a_o maxim_n of_o love_n love_n never_o know_v when_o it_o have_v do_v enough_o it_o know_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o too_o much_o for_o man_n to_o say_v what_o need_v we_o be_v so_o strict_a as_o to_o walk_v circumspect_o what_o need_v we_o do_v so_o much_o why_o must_v we_o be_v so_o holy_a this_o be_v a_o base_a kind_n of_o reason_v be_v this_o as_o become_v the_o gospel_n if_o thou_o be_v act_v by_o love_n then_o thou_o will_v never_o

of_o it_o all_o what_o soever_o i_o have_v whatsoever_o i_o be_o whatsoever_o i_o can_v do_v thou_o be_v worthy_a of_o it_o all_o never_o stand_v argue_v thus_o what_o need_v so_o much_o be_v the_o

than_o it_o do_v against_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v against_o ourselves_o we_o be_v inflame_v for_o god_n when_o we_o see_v any_o thing_n do_v that_o be_v a_o dishonour_n to_o the_o name_n of_o

those_o that_o have_v any_o reference_n unto_o god_n read_v over_o the_o epistle_n where_o so_o much_o of_o the_o gospel_n be_v reveal_v for_o indeed_o there_o be_v the_o chief_a of_o the_o gospel_n though_o we_o call_v those_o four_o evangelist_n the_o gospel_n because_o they_o be_v the_o story_n of_o christ_n come_v into_o the_o world_n and_o his_o action_n yet_o there_o be_v more_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n in_o the_o epistle_n for_o the_o time_n of_o the_o law_n be_v not_o full_o expire_v till_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o temple_n which_o be_v after_o christ_n death_n and_o therefore_o though_o the_o gospel_n begin_v to_o shine_v forth_o yet_o till_o after_o the_o time_n of_o the_o destruction_n of_o the_o temple_n there_o be_v not_o so_o much_o of_o the_o gospel_n and_o therefore_o read_v i_o say_v the_o epistle_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v there_o be_v no_o one_o particular_a duty_n that_o the_o gospel_n so_o call_v for_o from_o man_n beside_o faith_n in_o jesus_n christ_n as_o it_o do_v love_n in_o christian_n one_o towards_o another_o yea_o love_n to_o all_o if_o you_o read_v the_o epistle_n of_o paul_n divers_a place_n in_o the_o roman_n and_o in_o the_o ephesian_n and_o philippian_n and_o colossian_n continual_o still_o they_o be_v beat_v upon_o love_n and_o especial_o in_o the_o epistle_n of_o john_n that_o be_v the_o belove_a disciple_n and_o lay_v in_o the_o bosom_n of_o christ_n nothing_o so_o much_o as_o love_v because_o this_o indeed_o be_v the_o conversation_n that_o become_v the_o gospel_n for_o the_o main_a thing_n in_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v the_o declare_v of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o christian_n that_o will_v live_v as_o become_v the_o gospel_n they_o must_v live_v so_o as_o act_v by_o love_n and_o so_o in_o the_o story_n of_o the_o act_n present_o as_o soon_o as_o you_o read_v of_o any_o that_o the_o gospel_n do_v prevail_v withal_o they_o have_v one_o heart_n and_o one_o mind_n oh_o how_o do_v they_o cleave_v one_o to_o another_o their_o heart_n be_v one_o and_o so_o we_o find_v in_o the_o story_n of_o the_o primitive_a time_n i_o remember_v tertullian_n say_v that_o that_o be_v the_o way_n that_o the_o heathen_n and_o persecutor_n do_v use_v to_o find_v out_o who_o be_v christian_n for_o the_o christian_n do_v meet_v at_o night_n for_o fear_n of_o danger_n &_o do_v as_o wise_o as_o they_o can_v to_o keep_v themselves_o from_o their_o persecutor_n but_o they_o find_v this_o by_o experience_n that_o when_o they_o be_v convert_v to_o christian_a religion_n than_o there_o be_v another_o kind_n of_o spirit_n in_o they_o that_o do_v act_v they_o and_o especial_o a_o spirit_n of_o love_n one_o to_o another_o there_o be_v another_o kind_n of_o love_n of_o christian_n one_o towards_o another_o then_o than_o of_o any_o other_o society_n of_o man_n kind_a the_o heathen_n see_v this_o and_o wonder_v at_o it_o and_o it_o be_v by_o this_o that_o they_o find_v out_o who_o be_v christian_n if_o they_o see_v any_o people_n beginning_n to_o have_v a_o spirit_n of_o love_n more_o than_o before_o they_o will_v think_v sure_o these_o have_v hear_v of_o this_o christian_a religion_n and_o they_o begin_v to_o be_v christian_a this_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o christian_a religion_n in_o those_o time_n that_o there_o be_v such_o entire_a love_n and_o union_n of_o heart_n among_o they_o the_o apostle_n john_n will_v have_v such_o love_n as_o that_o christian_n shall_v be_v willing_a to_o die_v one_o for_o another_o and_o they_o do_v so_o in_o the_o primitive_a time_n oh_o this_o be_v become_v the_o gospel_n indeed_o but_o oh_o how_o far_o how_o far_o be_v we_o from_o such_o a_o conversation_n in_o such_o time_n as_o we_o live_v in_o now_o as_o if_o so_o be_v that_o the_o gospel_n be_v go_v from_o we_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o gospel_n as_o if_o it_o be_v reveal_v more_o now_o than_o ever_o and_o much_o concern_v free_a grace_n in_o the_o gospel_n but_o look_v upon_o the_o conversation_n of_o man_n they_o be_v never_o more_o unsuitable_a to_o the_o gospel_n and_o in_o this_o particular_a in_o respect_n of_o the_o sincere_a love_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o christian_n my_o brethren_n malicious_a disposition_n be_v extreme_o unbecoming_a the_o gospel_n hateful_a and_o malicious_a disposition_n what_o do_v a_o beastly_a brutish_a savigeness_n do_v the_o fierceness_n of_o beast_n do_v in_o the_o breast_n of_o a_o christian_a oh_o it_o be_v infinite_o unbeseeming_a a_o christian_n to_o have_v a_o unloving_a disposition_n a_o hateful_a disposition_n to_o be_v hate_v one_o another_o and_o to_o have_v a_o spirit_n of_o opposition_n and_o contradiction_n and_o frowardness_n one_o against_o another_o there_o be_v nothing_o more_o unbeseeming_a the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n than_o this_o i_o remember_v i_o have_v read_v even_o of_o one_o of_o the_o heathen_a emperor_n that_o be_v convince_v somewhat_o about_o christ_n and_o hear_v much_o of_o he_o see_v two_o that_o profess_v the_o name_n of_o christian_n to_o fall_v out_o bitter_o one_o with_o another_o which_o as_o soon_o as_o he_o perceive_v he_o call_v they_o to_o he_o and_o give_v a_o straight_a command_n that_o they_o shall_v never_o afterward_o presume_v to_o call_v themselves_o by_o the_o name_n of_o christian_n no_o say_v he_o you_o do_v not_o do_v according_a to_o your_o master_n that_o you_o profess_v your_o life_n be_v unsuitable_a to_o your_o master_n even_o one_o that_o be_v but_o a_o heathen_a himself_o speak_v this_o oh_o if_o we_o profess_v ourselves_o christian_n let_v our_o conversation_n be_v as_o become_v the_o gospel_n in_o point_n of_o love_n and_o make_v that_o to_o be_v the_o argument_n of_o love_n the_o love_n of_o god_n reveal_v in_o the_o gospel_n there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o argument_n of_o love_n from_o humane_a society_n from_o reason_n that_o man_n that_o live_v together_o they_o shall_v love_v one_o another_o as_o man_n and_o that_o there_o come_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o hurt_n from_o frowardness_n and_o bitterness_n and_o that_o it_o be_v against_o the_o rule_n of_o society_n and_o that_o man_n can_v live_v quiet_o except_o there_o be_v some_o way_n of_o soder_v by_o love_n these_o argument_n be_v somewhat_o and_o yet_o these_o will_v be_v among_o heathen_n oh_o but_o now_o those_o that_o profess_v the_o gospel_n of_o christ_n have_v one_o argument_n that_o be_v infinite_o beyond_o all_o argument_n that_o can_v be_v imagine_v and_o that_o be_v in_o john_n 3._o 16._o before_o name_v so_o god_n love_v the_o world_n love_v the_o world_n that_o he_o give_v his_o only_a beget_v we_o hear_v how_o the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o god_n from_o all_o eternity_n be_v bring_v forth_o and_o reveal_v in_o the_o gospel_n oh_o let_v this_o inflame_v our_o heart_n with_o love_n oh_o that_o there_o may_v be_v never_o a_o christian_n that_o profess_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n but_o that_o it_o may_v appear_v in_o he_o that_o his_o heart_n be_v sweeten_v with_o love_n and_o that_o he_o do_v live_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o very_a element_n of_o love_n and_o

of_o sin_n in_o the_o court_n of_o justice_n as_o well_o as_o in_o the_o court_n of_o mercy_n few_o think_v of_o this_o and_o that_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o people_n be_v ready_a many_o time_n to_o despair_n because_o a_o great_a while_o they_o have_v but_o slight_a thought_n of_o god_n they_o hope_v christ_n will_v be_v merciful_a to_o they_o yet_o in_o time_n of_o temptation_n when_o the_o devil_n come_v and_o do_v set_v before_o they_o the_o dreadfulness_n of_o god_n justice_n that_o god_n be_v a_o most_o just_a god_n as_o well_o as_o merciful_a this_o make_v their_o heart_n to_o sink_v like_o a_o stone_n within_o their_o breast_n but_o now_o the_o soul_n that_o see_v the_o way_n of_o god_n in_o the_o gospel_n see_v that_o god_n be_v infinite_o set_v upon_o mercy_n and_o likewise_o see_v a_o way_n how_o god_n infinite_a justice_n may_v be_v satisfy_v and_o see_v both_o these_o this_o be_v a_o mighty_a help_n to_o faith_n now_o let_v there_o come_v never_o so_o many_o temptation_n when_o the_o soul_n be_v catch_v hold_n upon_o god_n mercy_n i_o but_o say_v temptation_n god_n be_v a_o just_a god_n as_o well_o as_o merciful_a and_o do_v not_o thou_o presume_v no_o say_v the_o soul_n the_o way_n of_o mercy_n that_o my_o soul_n rest_v upon_o i_o see_v there_o be_v in_o it_o a_o way_n of_o satisfaction_n to_o infinite_a justice_n as_o well_o as_o a_o way_n for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o mercy_n and_o therefore_o though_o god_n be_v a_o righteous_a god_n and_o a_o just_a god_n yet_o here_o i_o see_v a_o way_n for_o my_o soul_n to_o be_v save_v yet_o for_o divine_a justice_n to_o have_v no_o wrong_n neither_o and_o therefore_o i_o can_v believe_v and_o venture_v my_o soul_n upon_o this_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o a_o sinner_n to_o venture_v his_o soul_n upon_o any_o way_n of_o mercy_n if_o it_o come_v to_o understand_v with_o what_o a_o god_n it_o have_v to_o deal_v except_o it_o come_v to_o know_v god_n in_o jesus_n christ_n in_o that_o way_n wherein_o infinite_a justice_n be_v satisfy_v to_o the_o utmost_a farthing_n which_o be_v declare_v in_o the_o gospel_n now_o what_o conversation_n be_v suitable_a to_o this_o hence_o let_v there_o be_v that_o conversation_n in_o you_o that_o may_v manifest_v that_o you_o do_v not_o turn_v the_o grace_n of_o god_n into_o wantonness_n oh_o a_o wanton_a conversation_n be_v infinite_o unbeseeming_a the_o gospel_n oh_o there_o be_v infinite_a mercy_n and_o free_a grace_n treasure_v up_o here_o and_o what_o will_v thou_o be_v wanton_a and_o vain_a and_o loose_a therefore_o there_o be_v infinite_a

of_o god_n let_v out_o to_o you_o through_o the_o blood_n of_o his_o son_n wherein_o the_o most_o dreadful_a fruit_n of_o god_n justice_n be_v manifest_v that_o ever_o be_v since_o the_o begin_n of_o

in_o the_o gospel_n thou_o may_v come_v cheerful_o and_o bold_o i_o but_o come_v with_o reverence_n and_o holy_a humble_a fear_n i_o do_v not_o mean_a despair_a fear_n nor_o servile_a slavish_a fear_n but_o with_o awful_a reverence_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n that_o do_v appear_v in_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n i_o need_v not_o send_v you_o to_o the_o law_n to_o cause_v fear_n in_o your_o

to_o his_o justice_n it_o be_v certain_o a_o vain_a conceit_n and_o i_o fear_v it_o will_v cause_v the_o gospel_n to_o vanish_v into_o little_a in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n when_o man_n apprehend_v
