saint_n aught_o to_o abound_v in_o fernent_a love_n to_o the_o divine_a majesty_n in_o regard_n both_o of_o those_o infinite_a excellency_n which_o be_v in_o his_o holy_a nature_n and_o the_o

to_o other_o in_o their_o working_n as_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a but_o that_o love_n to_o any_o person_n and_o desire_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v well_o deal_v withal_o must_v needs_o raise_v up_o grief_n and_o sorrow_n upon_o the_o behold_n of_o the_o quite_o contrary_a for_o love_n must_v needs_o beget_v hatred_n and_o abhor_v of_o those_o thing_n that_o tend_v to_o thy_o hurt_n and_o

must_v bear_v witness_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o that_o love_n which_o we_o say_v we_o bear_v unto_o the_o live_a god_n and_o must_v justify_v all_o those_o protestation_n which_o we_o be_v ready_a to_o make_v of_o have_v abundant_a good_a will_n unto_o he_o for_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o say_v we_o love_v if_o we_o bring_v not_o forth_o the_o effect_n of_o love_n it_o be_v but_o paint_a and_o imaginary_a fire_n which_o yield_v forth_o neither_o heat_n nor_o light_n so_o it_o be_v but_o tongue-love_n and_o lip-affection_n which_o be_v good_a for_o nothing_o but_o to_o beguile_v ourselves_o and_o make_v we_o better_o conceit_v of_o ourselves_o than_o there_o be_v cause_n that_o produce_v not_o the_o true_a and_o proper_a fruit_n of_o love_n furthermore_o we_o do_v know_v and_o confess_v man_n love_n to_o man_n that_o our_o love_n to_o god_n must_v always_o be_v join_v with_o the_o love_n of_o our_o brethren_n even_o of_o all_o that_o be_v make_v of_o the_o same_o flesh_n with_o

in_o many_o bond_n for_o though_o the_o lord_n do_v allow_v yea_o and_o command_v we_o to_o hate_v the_o worker_n of_o iniquity_n as_o they_o well_o deserve_v because_o they_o commit_v hate-worthy_a action_n yet_o this_o hatred_n must_v not_o be_v any_o habitual_a inclination_n or_o motion_n of_o the_o will_n to_o their_o hurt_n but_o alone_o a_o stir_v up_o of_o the_o affection_n of_o dislike_n

must_v it_o not_o needs_o grieve_v we_o to_o see_v that_o which_o we_o know_v to_o be_v harmful_a and_o mischievous_a to_o they_o love_n can_v choose_v but_o breed_v a_o fellow-feeling_n compassion_n a_o sympathize_v commiseration_n and_o sensibleness_n of_o the_o loss_n evil_a damage_n misery_n of_o the_o party_n love_v wherefore_o sin_n be_v as_o in_o the_o next_o reason_n we_o be_v to_o show_v

we_o behold_v it_o again_o sin_n loathe_v of_o sin_n every_o christian_a man_n shall_v have_v his_o heart_n possess_v with_o a_o loathe_n detestation_n and_o hatred_n of_o sin_n that_o be_v indeed_o the_o first_o and_o principal_a and_o most_o immediate_a object_n of_o hatred_n we_o may_v call_v it_o the_o chief_a odious_a thing_n in_o regard_n of_o which_o alone_o it_o be_v lawful_a to_o hate_v other_o thing_n neither_o be_v any_o thing_n further_o hateful_a then_o as_o it_o do_v some_o way_n or_o other_o participate_v of_o sin_n misery_n be_v alone_o hateful_a so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v a_o

do_v savour_n of_o sin_n in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v sinful_a be_v hateful_a also_o and_o therefore_o the_o word_n of_o god_n command_v we_o to_o be_v hater_n of_o evil_a and_o if_o a_o man_n do_v
