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

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

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

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
