commandment_n be_v charity_n but_o what_o be_v this_o commandment_n the_o word_n which_o we_o here_o translate_v commandment_n be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d not_o the_o ordinary_a word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o signify_v a_o commandment_n but_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o the_o word_n proper_o signify_v as_o critic_n tell_v we_o a_o charge_n give_v by_o judge_n or_o

render_v according_a to_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o idiom_n do_v not_o we_o strict_o command_v you_o or_o as_o mr._n beza_n render_v it_o do_v not_o we_o command_v you_o again_o and_o again_o and_o in_o the_o very_a same_o sense_n do_v the_o apostle_n use_v the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d as_o the_o 18_o verse_n of_o the_o first_o of_o timothy_n this_o charge_n i_o commit_v unto_o thou_o why_o now_o if_o we_o shall_v take_v the_o word_n commandment_n in_o this_o strict_a sense_n it_o may_v have_v a_o special_a reference_n to_o the_o three_o and_o four_o verse_n go_v before_o the_o text_n whereas_o i_o touch_v before_o st._n paul_n beseech_v timothy_n to_o charge_v some_o that_o they_o teach_v no_o other_o doctrine_n to_o charge_v they_o or_o to_o command_v they_o it_o be_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d which_o be_v the_o root_n of_o the_o word_n which_o we_o render_v commandment_n i_o charge_v thou_o to_o lay_v this_o commandment_n upon_o they_o so_o we_o may_v well_o render_v it_o i_o command_v they_o teach_v no_o other_o doctrine_n as_o if_o he_o have_v say_v the_o end_n why_o i_o beseech_v thou_o to_o give_v that_o charge_n or_o command_v be_v to_o

of_o the_o commandment_n the_o reason_n why_o i_o give_v they_o that_o commandment_n be_v to_o maintain_v love_n among_o brethren_n yea_o for_o as_o much_o as_o the_o apostle_n at_o the_o 7._o
