be_v one_o consideration_n which_o one_o will_v think_v shall_v be_v of_o mighty_a force_n to_o persuade_v man_n to_o this_o christian_a duty_n it_o be_v the_o last_o thing_n which_o our_o saviour_n insist_v upon_o when_o he_o be_v leave_v the_o world_n we_o read_v in_o jo._n 13._o that_o the_o devil_n have_v no_o soon_o put_v it_o into_o the_o heart_n of_o not_o of_o reader_n i_o pray_v

put_v it_o into_o the_o heart_n of_o his_o disciple_n to_o love_v one_o another_o he_o make_v it_o his_o commandment_n this_o be_v my_o commandment_n that_o you_o love_v one_o another_o by_o which_o we_o may_v understand_v that_o the_o observance_n of_o it_o will_v exceed_o oblige_v he_o he_o call_v it_o a_o new_a commandment_n although_o it_o be_v as_o old_a as_o any_o other_o both_o imprint_v in_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n and_o reveal_v in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n he_o make_v it_o the_o characteristical_a note_n of_o a_o disciple_n by_o this_o shall_v all_o man_n know_v that_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n if_o you_o love_v one_o another_o not_o but_o that_o all_o man_n of_o all_o religion_n acknowledge_v it_o to_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o love_v one_o another_o but_o the_o meaning_n of_o our_o saviour_n be_v that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o degree_n of_o love_n among_o his_o disciple_n as_o shall_v exceed_v man_n of_o other_o religion_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o first_o age_n of_o christianity_n when_o the_o pagan_n say_v see_v how_o these_o christian_n love_v one_o another_o all_o these_o expression_n of_o our_o saviour_n which_o may_v seem_v difficult_a to_o be_v understand_v be_v use_v by_o way_n of_o motive_n and_o argument_n to_o persuade_v and_o quicken_v man_n to_o christian_a love_n and_o unity_n 2._o it_o be_v his_o law_n who_o have_v annex_v the_o

be_v not_o such_o a_o impression_n of_o it_o upon_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n as_o there_o be_v of_o the_o duty_n which_o relate_v to_o the_o first_o man_n think_v they_o may_v love_n god_n though_o they_o do_v not_o love_v their_o neighbour_n they_o think_v that_o they_o be_v good_a christian_n and_o that_o they_o pay_v to_o god_n the_o honour_n that_o be_v due_a to_o he_o although_o they_o show_v no_o regard_n to_o their_o brother_n and_o fellow_n christian_n man_n know_v that_o to_o love_n god_n be_v the_o great_a commandment_n but_o they_o do_v not_o consider_v that_o the_o second_o be_v like_a namely_o that_o they_o must_v love_v their_o neighbour_n as_o themselves_o many_o who_o call_v themselves_o christian_n do_v not_o consider_v the_o mystical_a union_n that_o be_v betwixt_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n that_o every_o good_a christian_n be_v a_o member_n of_o that_o body_n whereof_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n and_o that_o it_o be_v as_o unchristian_a for_o one_o man_n not_o to_o bear_v another_o burden_n as_o it_o be_v unnatural_a for_o the_o hand_n not_o to_o help_v the_o foot_n or_o any_o other_o member_n of_o the_o body_n that_o be_v grieve_v according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n rom._n 12.5_o we_o be_v many_o be_v one_o body_n in_o christ_n and_o every_o one_o member_n one_o of_o another_o they_o do_v not_o consider_v that_o the_o church_n be_v

one_o will_v think_v it_o shall_v have_v be_v a_o great_a provocation_n to_o he_o that_o his_o disciple_n be_v asleep_a when_o he_o be_v in_o his_o agony_n and_o that_o it_o shall_v have_v be_v a_o
