the_o love_n which_o we_o bear_v to_o god_n observe_v the_o logic_n by_o which_o st._n john_n argue_v both_o backward_a and_o forward_o by_o this_o we_o know_v we_o love_v the_o child_n of_o god_n when_o we_o love_v god_n and_o keep_v his_o commandment_n 1_o jo._n 5._o 2._o there_o he_o argue_v from_o the_o first_o table_n to_o the_o second_o now_o observe_v how_o he_o argue_v from_o the_o second_o to_o the_o first_o and_o that_o two_o way_n both_o in_o the_o negative_a and_o the_o affirmative_a in_o the_o negative_a thus_o he_o that_o love_v not_o his_o brother_n who_o he_o have_v

3._o 14._o hereby_o we_o know_v wear_v of_o the_o truth_n and_o have_v confidence_n towards_o god_n if_o we_o keep_v his_o commandment_n and_o this_o be_v his_o commandment_n that_o we_o love_v one_o another_o v._n 19_o to_o v._n 23._o hence_o you_o see_v it_o be_v evident_a there_o be_v not_o a_o clear_a demonstration_n of_o our_o love_a god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n than_o the_o love_n our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o from_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o every_o sin_n must_v needs_o argue_v some_o want_n of_o love_n for_o if_o against_o the_o first_o table_n it_o be_v through_o a_o want_n of_o some_o love_n to_o god_n and_o if_o against_o the_o second_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v for_o want_n of_o some_o love_n to_o man_n again_o it_o follow_v on_o the_o contrary_a that_o where_o love_n be_v perfect_a and_o entire_a no_o commandment_n can_v be_v break_v for_o love_v god_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n we_o shall_v keep_v the_o first_o table_n and_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o

fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n for_o if_o we_o love_v god_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v we_o shall_v certain_o have_v no_o god_n but_o he_o much_o less_o shall_v we_o worship_v a_o grave_a image_n we_o shall_v not_o lift_v up_o his_o name_n in_o vain_a nor_o shall_v we_o fail_v to_o keep_v holy_a his_o holy_a day_n and_o if_o we_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o christ_n require_v we_o shall_v be_v
