wrath_n contention_n envy_n malice_n covetousness_n injustice_n oppression_n war_n uncharitableness_n and_o all_o the_o iniquity_n of_o the_o world_n and_o how_o self_n be_v the_o grand_a enemy_n of_o god_n and_o man_n and_o of_o the_o public_a good_a and_o peace_n and_o contrary_a to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o our_o neighbour_n and_o the_o commonwealth_n it_o give_v we_o so_o many_o precept_n for_o self-denial_n as_o no_o other_o religion_n do_v ever_o mention_n and_o such_o a_o example_n against_o it_o in_o jesus_n christ_n as_o be_v the_o astonishment_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n and_o therefore_o all_o other_o religion_n do_v in_o vain_a attempt_n the_o true_a purify_n of_o heart_n and_o life_n or_o the_o pacify_v of_o the_o divide_a mind_n of_o man_n while_o they_o let_v alone_o this_o sin_n of_o selfishness_n or_o light_o touch_v it_o which_o be_v the_o root_n and_o heart_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n §_o 5._o no_o religion_n do_v so_o much_o reveal_v to_o we_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n 1._o and_o his_o work_n for_o man_n and_o relation_n to_o he_o as_o the_o christian_a religion_n do_v and_o doubtless_o that_o be_v the_o most_o excellent_a doctrine_n which_o make_v know_v god_n most_o to_o man_n mind_n and_o that_o be_v the_o best_a religion_n which_o bring_v man_n near_o to_o his_o creator_n in_o love_n and_o purity_n few_o of_o the_o heathen_n know_v god_n in_o his_o unity_n and_o few_o in_o the_o trinity_n of_o his_o essential_a primality_n many_o question_v his_o particular_a providence_n and_o government_n they_o know_v not_o man_n relation_n or_o duty_n to_o he_o while_o they_o be_v distract_v with_o the_o observance_n of_o a_o multitude_n of_o god_n they_o indeed_o have_v none_o though_o god_n be_v incomprehensible_a to_o we_o all_o yet_o be_v there_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o perfection_n reveal_v to_o we_o in_o the_o light_n of_o christianity_n which_o we_o may_v seek_v in_o vain_a with_o any_o other_o sort_n of_o man_n §_o 6._o no_o religion_n do_v so_o wonderful_o open_a and_o magnify_v and_o reconcile_v god_n justice_n and_o mercy_n to_o mankind_n as_o christianity_n do_v it_o show_v how_o his_o justice_n be_v found_v in_o his_o holiness_n and_o his_o govern_n relation_n it_o justify_v it_o by_o open_v the_o purity_n of_o his_o nature_n the_o evil_a of_o sin_n and_o the_o use_n of_o punishment_n to_o the_o right_a government_n of_o the_o world_n and_o it_o magnify_v it_o by_o open_v the_o dreadfulness_n and_o certainty_n of_o his_o penalty_n and_o the_o suffering_n of_o our_o redeemer_n when_o he_o make_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o our_o sin_n by_o the_o revelation_n of_o justice_n sin_n and_o misery_n it_o reveal_v the_o wonderful_a greatness_n of_o god_n mercy_n it_o open_v those_o operation_n and_o effect_n of_o it_o which_o heathenism_n and_o mahometanism_n be_v utter_a stranger_n to_o they_o speak_v diminutive_o both_o of_o mercy_n and_o justice_n and_o can_v tell_v how_o to_o make_v god_n merciful_a without_o make_v he_o unjust_a nor_o to_o make_v he_o just_a without_o obscure_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o mercy_n which_o be_v peculiar_o set_v forth_o in_o the_o work_n of_o redemption_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n and_o promise_v of_o everlasting_a blessedness_n §_o 7._o the_o christian_a religion_n open_v many_o other_o part_n of_o holy_a doctrine_n which_o be_v unknown_a to_o man_n that_o learn_v they_o not_o from_o thence_o such_o as_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o the_o fall_v and_o of_o original_a sin_n and_o of_o justification_n sanctification_n adoption_n and_o the_o right_n worship_v of_o god_n of_o which_o mention_n be_v make_v before_o more_o distinct_o §_o 8._o no_o religion_n can_v be_v more_o charitable_a 10._o for_o it_o whole_o consist_v in_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o one_o another_o and_o in_o the_o mean_n to_o kindle_v and_o maintain_v this_o love_n the_o whole_a law_n of_o christ_n be_v fulfil_v in_o love_n even_o in_o love_a god_n for_o himself_o above_o all_o and_o our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o god_n yea_o our_o enemy_n so_o far_o as_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n amiable_a in_o they_o the_o end_n of_o all_o the_o commandment_n be_v love_n out_o of_o a_o pure_a heart_n and_o a_o good_a conscience_n and_o unfeigned_a faith_n and_o all_o christian_n be_v oblige_v to_o love_v each_o other_o with_o a_o pure_a heart_n and_o fervent_o yea_o to_o show_v that_o love_n which_o they_o profess_v to_o christ_n himself_o by_o the_o love_a of_o one_o another_o how_o frequent_o and_o earnest_o be_v this_o great_a duty_n press_v by_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n how_o great_a a_o stress_n do_v he_o lay_v upon_o it_o he_o make_v it_o the_o evidence_n of_o our_o love_n to_o god_n he_o promise_v salvation_n to_o it_o he_o forbid_v selfishness_n that_o it_o may_v not_o hinder_v it_o he_o command_v we_o to_o live_v in_o the_o constant_a expression_n of_o it_o and_o to_o provoke_v one_o another_o to_o love_n and_o to_o good_a work_n he_o have_v make_v himself_o the_o most_o matchless_a and_o wonderful_a example_n of_o it_o he_o have_v tell_v we_o that_o according_a to_o man_n charity_n he_o will_v judge_v they_o at_o the_o last_o day_n how_o dry_a and_o barren_a be_v all_o religion_n and_o write_n that_o we_o have_v ever_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o in_o the_o world_n in_o the_o point_n of_o love_n and_o the_o fruit_n of_o love_n in_o comparison_n of_o the_o gospel_n of_o jesus_n christ_n §_o 9_o i_o find_v that_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v most_o for_o unity_n and_o peace_n of_o any_o religion_n in_o the_o world_n most_o vehement_o command_v they_o and_o appoint_v the_o fit_a mean_n for_o the_o attain_n of_o they_o 1._o all_o christian_n be_v command_v to_o be_v of_o one_o mind_n to_o think_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o speak_v the_o same_o thing_n and_o discord_n and_o division_n and_o contention_n be_v earnest_o forbid_v they_o psalm_n and_o condemn_v and_o all_o occasion_n which_o may_v lead_v they_o thereunto_o 2._o and_o they_o have_v one_o head_n and_o centre_n one_o god_n and_o saviour_n who_o be_v their_o common_a governor_n end_v and_o interest_n in_o who_o therefore_o they_o may_v all_o unite_v when_o most_o other_o in_o the_o world_n do_v show_v a_o man_n no_o further_o end_n than_o self-preservation_n and_o so_o while_o self_n be_v each_o man_n end_n and_o interest_n there_o be_v as_o many_o end_n as_o man_n and_o how_o then_o be_v it_o possible_a that_o such_o shall_v have_v any_o true_a unity_n and_o concord_n but_o to_o every_o true_a christian_a the_o please_a and_o glorify_v of_o god_n and_o the_o promote_a of_o his_o kingdom_n for_o the_o salvation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v above_o all_o self-interest_n whatsoever_o and_o therefore_o in_o this_o they_o be_v all_o unite_a and_o though_o they_o all_o seek_v their_o own_o felicity_n and_o salvation_n it_o be_v only_o in_o the_o seek_n of_o this_o high_a end_n which_o be_v finis_fw-la amantis_fw-la sed_fw-la creaturae_fw-la amantis_fw-la creatorem_fw-la the_o end_n of_o a_o lover_n which_o desire_v unity_n and_o respect_v both_o the_o lover_n and_o the_o belove_a but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o end_n of_o the_o love_n of_o equal_n but_o of_o the_o creature_n to_o the_o creator_n who_o therefore_o prefer_v his_o belove_a before_o himself_o in_o his_o intention_n so_o that_o it_o be_v only_o this_o holy_a centre_n in_o god_n that_o can_v ever_o make_v man_n all_o of_o a_o mind_n and_o agree_v the_o disagree_a world_n while_o self_n be_v every_o man_n end_n they_o will_v have_v such_o constant_a contrariety_n of_o interest_n that_o it_o will_v be_v impossible_a for_o they_o to_o agree_v but_o covetousness_n ambition_n and_o sensuality_n will_v keep_v they_o in_o faction_n contention_n and_o war_n continual_o moreover_o it_o be_v christianity_n that_o most_o urge_v and_o effectual_o give_v a_o hearty_a love_n to_o one_o another_o and_o teach_v they_o to_o love_v their_o neighbour_n as_o themselves_o and_o to_o do_v as_o they_o will_v have_v other_o to_o do_v by_o they_o and_o this_o be_v the_o true_a root_n and_o spring_n of_o concord_n and_o it_o be_v christianity_n which_o most_o teach_v the_o forgive_n of_o wrong_n and_o love_v of_o enemy_n and_o forbear_v that_o revenge_n which_o heathen_n be_v wont_a to_o account_v a_o honour_n and_o it_o be_v christianity_n which_o teach_v man_n to_o contemn_v all_o the_o riches_n and_o honour_n of_o the_o world_n which_o be_v the_o bone_n that_o worldly_a dog_n do_v fight_v for_o and_o the_o great_a occasion_n of_o their_o strife_n and_o it_o teach_v they_o to_o mortify_v all_o those_o vice_n which_o feed_v man_n division_n and_o contention_n so_o that_o if_o any_o man_n live_v as_o a_o christian_a he_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o man_n of_o unity_n
