The portraiture of the image of God in man: In his three estates, of creation. Restauration. Glorification. Digested into two parts. The first containing, the image of God both in the body and soule of man, and immortality of both: with a description of the severall members of the body, and the two principall faculties of the soule, the understanding and the will; in which consisteth his knowledge, and liberty of his will. The second containing, the passions of man in the concupiscible and irascible part of the soule: his dominion ouer the creatures; also a description of his active and contemplative life; with his conjunct or married estate. Whereunto is annexed an explication of sundry naturall and morall observations for the clearing of divers Scriptures. All set downe by way of collation, and cleared by sundry distinctions, both out of the schoolemen, and moderne writers. The third edition, corrected and enlarged. By I. Weemse, of Lathocker in Scotland, preacher of Christs Gospel.

The remedies to cure sinfull hatred.

The remedies to cure this sinfull hatred are: first, consider that the man whom thou hatest most, may be helpfull to thee againe. Ioseph once most hated of his brethren, yet necessitie mooved them to love him a∣gaine. So the Elders of Gilead who did hate Iephteh and expelled him out of his fathers house, Iudg. 11.7. but when the time of tribulation came, he became their be∣loved head and Captaine.

Secondly, if we would make good use of our hatred, we must employ it against vice, and against these ob∣jects, the love and pursuite whereof may pollute the heart, and blemish the image of God which shineth in our soules.

Thirdly, if we should cure hatred, we must represent the miseries which doe commonly accompany the pursuites of envy; we must set before our eyes the ship∣wrack of so many famous persons, that have lost them∣selves upon this shelfe, and wee must represent to our selves the crosses, paines, and torments which this wretched passion doth cause.
