unto_o we_o by_o a_o excellent_a speech_n because_o it_o be_v a_o testimony_n of_o our_o be_v deliver_v from_o death_n to_o life_n whereupon_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o we_o love_v our_o brother_n we_o be_v happy_a and_o if_o we_o hate_v they_o we_o be_v miserable_a there_o be_v no_o man_n that_o do_v not_o desire_v to_o escape_v and_o to_o be_v delyver_v from_o death_n therefore_o they_o must_v need_n be_v more_o than_o blind_a who_o by_o foster_a of_o hatred_n do_v willing_o pamper_v their_o own_o death_n further_o when_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o by_o love_n it_o be_v know_v that_o we_o have_v pass_v into_o life_n he_o mean_v not_o that_o man_n be_v his_o own_o deliverer_n as_o if_o by_o love_v the_o brother_n he_o deliver_v himself_o from_o death_n &_o obtain_v life_n for_o himself_o for_o he_o do_v not_o dispute_v here_o of_o the_o cause_n of_o salvation_n but_o see_v love_n be_v the_o principal_a fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v also_o a_o certain_a note_n of_o regeneration_n therefore_o the_o apostle_n reason_v from_o the_o sign_n and_o not_o from_o the_o cause_n for_o because_o no_o man_n do_v true_o love_v the_o brethren_n except_o he_o which_o be_v regenerate_v by_o the_o spirit_n hence_o it_o be_v right_o gather_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n which_o be_v life_n do_v dwell_v in_o they_o that_o love_v the_o brother_n but_o one_o shall_v thereupon_o preposterous_o infer_v that_o life_n be_v attain_v unto_o by_o love_n see_v love_n by_o order_n be_v the_o late_a this_o argument_n shall_v have_v more_o colour_n if_o love_n make_v we_o more_o assure_v of_o our_o life_n that_o then_o the_o assurance_n of_o salvation_n do_v consist_v in_o act_n but_o the_o answer_n thereof_o be_v also_o easy_a for_o albeit_o that_o faith_n be_v confirm_v by_o all_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n as_o by_o help_n yet_o it_o cease_v not_o to_o have_v his_o foundation_n in_o the_o only_a free_a mercy_n of_o god_n for_o example_n when_o we_o enjoy_v the_o light_n we_o be_v sure_a that_o the_o sun_n shine_v if_o the_o sun_n give_v his_o beam_n into_o the_o place_n wherein_o we_o be_v we_o have_v a_o certain_a more_o clear_a sight_n

so_o great_a a_o desire_n to_o affection_n without_o cause_n see_v that_o our_o safety_n do_v consist_v in_o the_o gospel_n the_o certainty_n thereof_o be_v a_o thing_n more_o than_o necessary_a and_o how_o untowarde_a we_o be_v to_o believe_v everye_o one_o of_o we_o by_o his_o own_o experience_n do_v know_v too_o well_o i_o call_v to_o believe_v not_o light_o to_o imagine_v or_o in_o only_o

this_o occasion_n the_o apostle_n do_v multiply_v so_o many_o thing_n here_o in_o confirmation_n of_o the_o gospel_n 1_o that_o which_o be_v from_o the_o beginning_n because_o it_o be_v a_o break_a

the_o spirit_n be_v the_o pledge_n of_o our_o adoption_n hence_o it_o follow_v that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o good_a thing_n in_o we_o it_o must_v not_o be_v so_o set_v against_o the_o grace_n of_o

with_o his_o own_o mouth_n to_o be_v his_o son_n as_o he_o give_v a_o name_n to_o abraham_n according_a to_o the_o thing_n itself_o therefore_o the_o world_n this_o temptation_n do_v vehement_o
