Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Think with your self there is no man whom you profess to love, but you would not willingly provoke. And dare you say that you love the Lord, and yet ye will grieve and vex him?
Thinke with your selfe there is no man whom you professe to love, but you would not willingly provoke. And dare you say that you love the Lord, and yet yee will grieve and vexe him?
If you love the Lord, there would be an hungering in you after him: there would be still 1an hanging that way. All impediments would be broken through, the heart would still be moving thitherward. It would be bending thither. It would admit no repulse. As the woman of Canaan, Matth. 15. it would not be put off. As the stone rests not till it comes to the centre, so nothing can keep you off from the Lord, no pleasures; away with them: nor any difficulties, no you cannot rest without him.
