aught_o much_o to_o be_v strengthen_v by_o that_o bond_n of_o natural_a propagation_n for_o that_o what_o god_n vouchsafe_v not_o to_o other_o creature_n no_o nor_o to_o his_o good_a angel_n he_o grant_v unto_o man_n as_o a_o especial_a bounty_n and_o sign_n of_o his_o love_n that_o all_o mankind_n shall_v proceed_v from_o one_o general_a father_n adam_n that_o so_o all_o his_o posterity_n as_o descend_v from_o one_o and_o the_o same_o root_n may_v all_o love_n as_o be_v in_o or_o indeed_o as_o all_o but_o one_o i_o read_v that_o when_o trajan_n the_o emperor_n have_v send_v to_o pliny_n praetor_n in_o sicily_n to_o destroy_v all_o the_o christian_n there_o the_o praetor_n forbear_v the_o execution_n and_o counsel_v the_o emperor_n rather_o to_o cherish_v then_o extirpate_v they_o for_o say_v he_o they_o be_v a_o people_n which_o live_v in_o obedience_n to_o law_n they_o neither_o rob_v nor_o kill_v nor_o injure_v any_o but_o live_v as_o hate_v none_o but_o love_v all_o and_o when_o i_o read_v that_o of_o s._n paul_n love_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n i_o find_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o same_o text_n by_o way_n of_o command_n bid_v to_o owe_v no_o man_n any_o thing_n but_o mutual_a love_n 13.18_o rom._n 13.18_o whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o love_n as_o it_o be_v a_o command_n from_o god_n so_o from_o and_o by_o god_n it_o be_v hold_v as_o a_o debt_n and_o so_o enjoin_v as_o that_o though_o we_o daily_o pay_v it_o yet_o we_o shall_v never_o be_v discharge_v from_o it_o but_o that_o we_o shall_v with_o our_o day_n and_o year_n grow_v yearly_a and_o daily_o more_o in_o this_o debt_n of_o mutual_a love_n but_o there_o be_v a_o four_o reason_n persuade_v and_o urge_v this_o love_n which_o be_v strong_a than_o that_o of_o nature_n and_o this_o be_v our_o spiritual_a brotherhood_n as_o be_v not_o so_o much_o one_o from_o our_o natural_a parent_n as_o one_o by_o our_o spiritual_a birth_n and_o regeneration_n in_o our_o baptism_n whereby_o be_v unite_v to_o our_o head_n christ_n we_o be_v all_o become_v member_n of_o christ_n mystical_a body_n and_o this_o if_o any_o thing_n will_v enforce_v our_o love_n it_o be_v the_o argument_n which_o good_a abraham_n use_v to_o lot_n let_v we_o have_v no_o breach_n nor_o difference_n betwixt_o we_o but_o let_v we_o love_v and_o live_v in_o accord_n for_o say_v he_o and_o he_o think_v he_o can_v bring_v no_o strong_a argument_n for_o it_o then_o this_o i_o be_v brethren_n 13.8_o gen._n 13.8_o and_o we_o christian_n may_v say_v we_o be_v all_o brethren_n not_o by_o one_o

where_o neither_o thief_n nor_o usurper_n shall_v ever_o come_v to_o help_v himself_o or_o hurt_v we_o when_o s._n paul_n have_v show_v how_o in_o christ_n we_o be_v all_o become_v one_o body_n 1●_n

yet_o these_o i_o say_v they_o enter_v into_o and_o strengthen_v by_o drink_v the_o blood_n either_o of_o themselves_o or_o other_o a_o covenant_n we_o have_v take_v and_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n

have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_n 9.13_o mat._n 9.13_o or_o mercy_n rather_o than_o sacrifice_v but_o so_o as_o in_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o cain_n if_o it_o be_v mingle_v with_o the_o hatred_n of_o his_o brother_n abel_n he_o reject_v it_o and_o in_o this_o or_o such_o a_o sacrifice_n he_o say_v i_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_v and_o according_o when_o the_o scribe_n

that_o the_o scribe_n answer_v discreet_o and_o to_o the_o truth_n he_o say_v unto_o he_o thou_o be_v not_o far_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o christ_n have_v
