while_o they_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o nature_n and_o for_o the_o reprobate_n god_n bestow_v many_o favour_n upon_o they_o in_o the_o thing_n of_o this_o life_n and_o offer_v free_o and_o true_o to_o they_o at_o least_o many_o the_o participation_n of_o eternal_a life_n and_o happiness_n and_o so_o that_o it_o be_v their_o fault_n that_o they_o have_v it_o not_o there_o be_v three_o branch_n you_o see_v of_o this_o objection_n which_o i_o will_v answer_v as_o i_o can_v brief_o and_o orderly_o first_o for_o the_o first_o there_o be_v no_o great_a difficulty_n the_o answer_n consist_v in_o two_o thing_n first_o god_n be_v to_o be_v consider_v two_o way_n first_o as_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o and_o his_o own_o excellency_n second_o as_o he_o have_v reveal_v himself_o and_o so_o as_o it_o be_v bow_v himself_o down_o to_o our_o capacity_n in_o the_o former_a consideration_n as_o in_o himself_o he_o be_v a_o simple_a essence_n and_o pure_a act_n without_o any_o composition_n of_o matter_n and_o form_n and_o without_o all_o distinction_n and_o variety_n of_o quality_n he_o be_v only_o that_o which_o he_o be_v and_o thus_o we_o can_v at_o all_o apprehend_v he_o but_o in_o the_o second_o as_o he_o have_v reveal_v himself_o so_o we_o may_v distinguish_v many_o attribute_n in_o he_o which_o he_o have_v take_v to_o himself_o that_o what_o we_o can_v not_o grasp_v together_o we_o may_v by_o part_n in_o some_o sort_n lie_v hold_v of_o as_o cyrus_n pass_v the_o river_n euphrates_n by_o divide_v it_o into_o many_o small_a stream_n second_o the_o second_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v be_v that_o among_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v attribute_v to_o god_n from_o the_o creature_n some_o thing_n be_v simple_o perfection_n some_o involve_v some_o imperfection_n in_o they_o also_o or_o perhaps_o better_a some_o thing_n in_o they_o be_v conceive_v as_o a_o perfection_n to_o which_o notwithstanding_o there_o cleave_v some_o imperfection_n also_o here_o we_o must_v sever_v the_o one_o from_o the_o other_o and_o ascribe_v the_o perfection_n to_o god_n but_o proscribe_v and_o banish_v the_o imperfection_n as_o in_o this_o case_n hatred_n be_v attribute_v to_o god_n be_v take_v from_o live_v especial_o reasonable_a creature_n as_o it_o import_v a_o dislike_n of_o evil_a so_o it_o note_v a_o perfection_n but_o as_o it_o connotates_fw-la a_o dislike_n by_o way_n of_o passion_n or_o perturbation_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o creature_n so_o it_o have_v a_o mixture_n of_o imperfection_n in_o the_o former_a sense_n it_o be_v proper_o give_v to_o god_n in_o the_o latter_a it_o can_v thus_o you_o see_v the_o first_o part_n how_o hatred_n agree_v to_o god_n as_o a_o attribute_n take_v from_o analogy_n to_o the_o reasonable_a creature_n be_v a_o simple_a dislike_n and_o aversion_n from_o evil_a without_o any_o motion_n or_o perturbation_n the_o second_o be_v how_o god_n can_v hate_v any_o of_o his_o creature_n especial_o man_n i_o answer_v man_n may_v be_v consider_v two_o way_n first_o as_o create_v and_o so_o god_n see_v all_o thing_n that_o they_o be_v good_a and_o love_v they_o and_o above_o all_o man_n who_o he_o have_v make_v according_a to_o his_o own_o image_n second_o as_o corrupt_a and_o defile_v with_o sin_n and_o god_n who_o be_v a_o god_n of_o pure_a eye_n who_o be_v not_o a_o god_n that_o delight_v in_o iniquity_n can_v choose_v but_o abhor_v he_o the_o three_o be_v something_o hard_o and_o so_o the_o place_n though_o it_o be_v allege_v but_o out_o of_o the_o apocrypha_fw-la god_n bate_v nothing_o that_o he_o have_v make_v may_v be_v satisfy_v not_o simple_o in_o itself_o and_o for_o itself_o but_o yet_o he_o hate_v sin_n in_o man_n which_o be_v not_o of_o his_o make_n and_o man_n secondary_o for_o his_o sin_n three_o the_o three_o be_v somewhat_o hard_a how_o this_o
