to_o all_o but_o d●th_n our_o affirmation_n viz._n that_o god_n love_v only_o his_o church_n with_o his_o high_a and_o great_a love_n contradict_v that_o of_o the_o psalmist_n viz._n that_o god_n be_v good_a to_o all_o let_v the_o author_n better_o consider_v have_v the_o lord_n nothing_o to_o bestow_v unless_o he_o give_v they_o the_o top_n of_o his_o love_n three_o he_o say_v it_o contradict_v the_o force_n of_o all_o his_o exhortation_n and_o call_v to_o such_o as_o refuse_v nay_o it_o leave_v a_o way_n for_o these_o there_o be_v not_o his_o high_a love_n for_o great_a it_o be_v for_o god_n to_o give_v heart_n willing_a to_o obey_v his_o call_n which_o his_o very_a word_n intimate_v he_o give_v not_o to_o all_o therefore_o love_v not_o all_o with_o his_o high_a love_n and_o so_o for_o the_o rest_n they_o be_v weak_a and_o to_o no_o purpose_n allege_v only_o apt_v against_o this_o position_n that_o god_n have_v not_o love_v every_o man_n at_o all_o which_o be_v not_o our_o affirmation_n let_v they_o that_o broach_v it_o maintain_v it_o but_o he_o have_v a_o more_o stupendous_a piece_n of_o blasphemy_n against_o our_o assumption_n viz._n it_o say_v he_o have_v not_o love_v any_o other_o of_o mankind_n no_o not_o when_o he_o make_v and_o behold_v they_o all_o righteous_a but_o hate_v they_o oh_o fearful_a to_o say_v that_o he_o hate_v the_o righteous_a psalm_n 45.7_o but_o here_o envy_n speak_v and_o ignorance_n admire_v for_o we_o say_v not_o nor_o can_v it_o be_v infer_v from_o we_o that_o god_n love_v not_o innocent_a man_n at_o all_o but_o that_o he_o love_v not_o he_o with_o his_o transcendent_a and_o great_a love_n he_o do_v not_o manifest_v the_o top_n of_o his_o love_n to_o he_o and_o this_o be_v no_o such_o blasphemy_n or_o fearful_a thing_n to_o say_v for_o the_o gift_n that_o he_o give_v to_o his_o church_n viz._n his_o son_n be_v great_a than_o primitive_a grace_n or_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o confer_v in_o the_o creation_n and_o our_o desert_n less_o for_o though_o in_o creation_n we_o can_v deserve_v no_o good_a and_o so_o his_o gift_n be_v free_a yet_o now_o in_o in_o our_o restore_n we_o deserve_v much_o evil_n in_o creation_n what_o good_a he_o give_v we_o be_v only_o without_o merit_n but_o he_o now_o bestow_v all_o against_o our_o i_n it_o hence_o the_o scripture_n put_v the_o emphasis_n of_o love_n upon_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n mercy_n have_v more_o in_o it_o then_o mere_a goodness_n by_o the_o former_a rather_o than_o by_o the_o latter_a he_o will_v be_v know_v as_o by_o his_o glory_n exod._n 33.19_o &_o 34.6.7_o but_o beside_o why_o shall_v he_o fasten_v that_o on_o we_o as_o blasphemy_n which_o will_v prove_v the_o result_n of_o his_o own_o word_n he_o say_v to_o hate_n be_v to_o love_v in_o a_o less_o degree_n page_v 92._o now_o do_v not_o god_n love_v the_o righteous_a in_o a_o less_o degree_n than_o he_o love_v his_o only_a son_n in_o then_o he_o hate_v the_o righteous_a by_o his_o own_o doctrine_n oh_o fearful_a to_o say_v but_o thus_o much_o be_v clear_a that_o grant_v he_o that_o god_n love_v innocent_a man_n yet_o it_o follow_v not_o that_o he_o love_v every_o man_n with_o the_o top_n and_o great_a of_o his_o love_n so_o that_o our_o minor_n yet_o stand_v good_a but_o he_o descend_v to_o give_v some_o satisfactory_a answer_n to_o the_o argument_n and_o it_o be_v well_o he_o do_v so_o for_o his_o former_a word_n have_v yield_v but_o little_a it_o be_v well_o if_o his_o afterword_n yield_v more_o we_o shall_v not_o shut_v our_o eye_n against_o it_o he_o will_v have_v the_o scripture_n show_v where_o it_o speak_v of_o the_o love_n and_o hatred_n let_v it_o be_v so_o as_o also_o his_o word_n which_o be_v these_o the_o scripture_n mention_v a_o diverse_a kind_n and_o degree_n of_o love_n and_o hatred_n in_o god_n show_v in_o the_o effect_n of_o it_o now_o herein_o i_o shall_v willing_o join_v issue_n with_o he_o serious_o to_o consider_v and_o weigh_v not_o only_o what_o scripture_n say_v but_o what_o the_o scripture_n mean_v in_o such_o speech_n lest_o we_o vent_v our_o own_o conceit_n unworthy_a the_o nature_n of_o god_n love_n and_o hatred_n be_v no_o more_o attribute_v to_o god_n then_o desire_v grief_n rejoice_v with_o all_o other_o affection_n and_o passion_n of_o man_n which_o in_o we_o be_v perturbation_n and_o why_o not_o then_o love_n and_o hatred_n but_o to_o grant_v any_o perturbation_n in_o god_n come_v little_o short_a of_o blasphemy_n therefore_o it_o may_v be_v controvert_v whether_o as_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o
