6. That man is without God, that lives without making the people of God to be the object of his love; as you may see in 1 Joh. 3. 10. He that doth not righteousness is 1not of God neither he that loveth not his brother, and so in 1 Joh. 4. 20. If any man say, I love God and hateth his brother, he is a liar, for he that loveth not his brother whom be hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen? He that does not love his brother, the children and people of God, he cannot love God. You that carry in your hearts a secret malice and spleen against those that are godly, and more holy and religious then your selves: you that do tiger-like, hate the very pictures of godly men, you that hate the people of God, and the Ministers of the Gospel, because they are so, that hate godliness as godliness, these are evident arguments that the love of God is not in you.
