Minister. Discourage not thy self thou poor afflicted soul; God hath not cast thee off. For he hateth nothing that he hath made; but bears a love to all men, and to thee amongst the rest.

Tempted. God hateth no man as he is his creature, but he hateth a great many as they are involved in the first transgression, and become guilty of Adams sin. And God hath a two-fold love, (as I have learned,) a general love, which puts forth it self in outward and temporal blessings only, and with this he loved all men: And a special love, by which he provideth everlasting life for men, and with this he loves only a very few, which out of his alone will and pleasure he singled from the rest. Under this general love am I, not the special.

Minister. God so loves all men, as that he desires their eternal good, for the Apostle saith, he would have all to be saved, and he would have no man perish, nor thee in particular.
