the_o second_o be_v to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n and_o on_o that_o depend_v all_o that_o be_v write_v in_o the_o law_n &_o the_o prophet_n in_o the_o first_o consist_v the_o divine_a and_o contemplative_a righteousness_n and_o in_o the_o latter_a consist_v the_o distributive_a righteousness_n for_o it_o be_v not_o enough_o for_o a_o man_n to_o honour_n god_n to_o fear_v he_o and_o to_o abstain_v from_o evil_a except_o he_o also_o do_v good_a and_o be_v helpefull_a to_o his_o neighbour_n and_o by_o the_o word_n neighbor_n i_o mean_v all_o man_n special_o those_o that_o be_v good_a
