A42553	Philadelphia, or, a treatise of brotherly-love Shewing, that we must love all men: love the wicked in general: love our enemies: that the godly must especially love another: and the reasons of each particular love. The manner of our mutual love; the dignity, necessity, excellenc, and usefulness of brotherly-love. That the want of love, where love is due, is hatred, shewed in divers particulars. The greatness of the sin of malice and hatred; with the reasons why wicked men hate the saints: together with cautions against those sins that break the bond of love. Many weighty questions discussed, and divers cases cleared. By William Gearing, minister of the word.	Gearing, William.	1670 (1670)	Wing G436C; ESTC R223669	92,727	215

if_o they_o be_v call_v unto_o it_o for_o the_o former_a we_o must_v know_v that_o although_o christian_n must_v not_o think_v their_o life_n too_o dear_a for_o the_o brethren_n yet_o it_o be_v in_o this_o as_o it_o be_v in_o other_o duty_n of_o love_n and_o mercy_n towards_o man_n the_o first_o and_o great_a commandment_n must_v give_v life_n unto_o the_o second_o which_o be_v like_a unto_o it_o the_o first_o table_n must_v have_v the_o chief_a respect_n in_o our_o obedience_n to_o the_o second_o that_o be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o our_o regard_n of_o his_o glory_n command_v in_o the_o

enjoin_v in_o the_o second_o table_n for_o we_o must_v love_v our_o neighbour_n in_o the_o lord_n and_o for_o the_o lord_n and_o so_o the_o love_n of_o god_n must_v have_v a_o constrain_a and_o

so_o especial_o in_o this_o great_a fruit_n of_o love_n when_o we_o lie_v down_o our_o life_n for_o they_o than_o the_o good_a of_o our_o brethren_n must_v be_v respect_v in_o the_o second_o place_n in_o as_o much_o as_o god_n be_v glorify_v in_o that_o good_a which_o they_o receive_v by_o that_o mean_n so_o then_o when_o any_o do_v in_o christian_a love_n lie_v down_o their_o life_n for_o
