Psalms97:10
Verſ. 10. Ye that love the Lord] As having taſted of Chriſts ſweetneſſe, being juſtified by his merit, and ſanctified by his Spirit, 1 Pet. 2.4 1 Cor. 6.11. carried after him with ſtrength of Deſire, Pſal. 42.1. and Delight, Pſal. 73.25. Such as theſe only are Chriſts true ſubjects; others will pretend to him, but they are but Hangbies, unleſſe the love of Chriſt conſtrain them to hate evill, to hate it as Hell, [non-Latin text not transcribed] Rom. 12.9. Sin ſeemeth to have its name of Sana to hate (the word here uſed) becauſe it is moſt of all to be hated, as the greateſt evil; as that which ſetteth us furtheſt from God the greateſt good. This none can do but thoſe that love the Lord Chriſt in ſincerity; for all hatred comes from love. A naturall man may be angry with his ſin, as a man is ſometimes with his wife or friend for ſome preſent vexation; but hate it hee cannot; yea he may leave it (for the ill conſequents of ſin) but not loathe it. If he did, he would loathe all, as well as any; for hatred is ever againſt the whole kind of a thing, ſaith Ariſtole. [non-Latin text not transcribed] Rhetor. lib. 2[illegible: 1 letter]
