and_o hate_v thy_o enemy_n but_o i_o say_v to_o you_o love_v your_o enemy_n do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o hate_v you_o and_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o persecute_v and_o abuse_v you_o that_o you_o may_v be_v the_o child_n of_o your_o father_n which_o be_v in_o heaven_n who_o make_v his_o sun_n to_o rise_v upon_o good_a and_o bad_a and_o rain_v upon_o just_a and_o unjust_a for_o if_o you_o love_v they_o that_o love_v you_o what_o reward_n shall_v you_o have_v do_v not_o also_o the_o publican_n this_o and_o if_o you_o salute_v your_o brethren_n only_o what_o do_v you_o more_o do_v not_o also_o the_o heathen_a this_o be_v you_o perfect_a therefore_o as_o also_o your_o heavenly_a father_n be_v perfect_a morality_n 1._o a_o man_n that_o love_v nothing_o but_o according_a to_o his_o natural_a inclination_n love_v only_o like_o a_o beast_n or_o a_o infidel_n the_o best_a sort_n of_o love_n be_v that_o which_o be_v command_v by_o god_n &_o be_v derive_v from_o judgement_n conduct_v by_o reason_n and_o perfect_v by_o charity_n i_o think_v it_o shall_v be_v hard_a for_o a_o good_a christian_a to_o hate_v then_o love_v his_o enemy_n hate_n make_v he_o our_o equal_a whereas_o love_n place_v we_o quite_o above_o he_o by_o hate_v a_o man_n enemy_n he_o break_v the_o law_n of_o god_n he_o fight_v against_o the_o incarnation_n of_o christ_n which_o be_v act_v to_o unite_v all_o thing_n in_o the_o band_n of_o love_n he_o give_v the_o lie_n to_o the_o most_o bless_a eucharist_n who_o nature_n be_v to_o make_v the_o heart_n of_o all_o christian_n the_o same_o he_o live_v like_o another_o cain_n in_o the_o world_n always_o disquiet_v by_o seek_v revenge_n and_o it_o be_v a_o very_a death_n to_o he_o to_o hear_v of_o another_o man_n prosperity_n whereas_o to_o love_v a_o enemy_n do_v not_o bind_v we_o to_o love_v the_o injuty_n he_o have_v do_v we_o for_o we_o must_v not_o consider_v he_o as_o a_o malefactor_n but_o as_o a_o man_n of_o our_o own_o nature_n as_o he_o be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n and_o as_o he_o be_v a_o christian_n god_n do_v only_o command_v perfect_a thing_n not_o impossible_a that_o which_o be_v very_o hard_a to_o flesh_n and_o blood_n

his_o will_n and_o pleasure_n 2._o if_o revenge_n seem_v sweet_a the_o gain_n of_o it_o be_v most_o bitter_a but_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n more_o profitable_a then_o to_o pardon_v a_o enemy_n by_o imitation_n of_o our_o saviour_n for_o it_o be_v then_o that_o our_o conscience_n can_v assure_v we_o to_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n and_o inheritor_n of_o his_o glory_n we_o
