and_o when_o i_o read_v that_o of_o s._n paul_n love_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n i_o find_v that_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o same_o text_n by_o way_n of_o command_n bid_v to_o owe_v no_o

yearly_a and_o daily_o more_o in_o this_o debt_n of_o mutual_a love_n but_o there_o be_v a_o four_o reason_n persuade_v and_o urge_v this_o love_n which_o be_v strong_a than_o that_o of_o nature_n and_o this_o be_v our_o spiritual_a brotherhood_n as_o be_v not_o so_o much_o one_o from_o our_o natural_a parent_n as_o one_o by_o our_o spiritual_a birth_n and_o regeneration_n in_o our_o baptism_n whereby_o be_v unite_v to_o our_o head_n christ_n we_o be_v all_o become_v member_n of_o christ_n mystical_a body_n and_o this_o if_o any_o thing_n will_v enforce_v our_o love_n it_o be_v the_o argument_n which_o good_a abraham_n use_v to_o lot_n let_v we_o have_v no_o breach_n nor_o difference_n betwixt_o we_o but_o let_v we_o love_v and_o live_v in_o accord_n for_o say_v he_o and_o he_o think_v he_o can_v bring_v no_o strong_a argument_n for_o it_o then_o this_o i_o be_v brethren_n 13.8_o gen._n 13.8_o and_o we_o christian_n may_v say_v we_o be_v all_o brethren_n not_o by_o one_o
