1. Really, not in complement, ⟨p. 96⟩but with love unfeigned and hearty, 1. Joh. 3.18. Let us not love in tongue, or in word, but in deed and in truth: so it was with Adam, he was able to do good to himself, whereas we that are corrupt, are most enemies to our selves, when we seem most to love our selves, Pro. 8. ult. He that despiseth wisdom, *layeth violent hands upon himself (so the word in the original is.) Out of self-love and pride you must not have your base courses condemned, but you hate your souls in despising the means. God is Jehovah, a Being God, therefore requires that mans love should be real.
