when_o he_o mighty_o cry_v unto_o his_o father_n my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o he_o feel_v the_o taste_n of_o abjection_n to_o be_v cast_v off_o from_o god_n 2._o for_o that_o same_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n which_o be_v due_a to_o our_o sin_n according_a as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v that_o our_o sin_n do_v separate_v we_o from_o god_n we_o

heaven_n in_o earth_n or_o in_o hell_n here_o than_o you_o see_v jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n take_v upon_o he_o our_o nature_n have_v bear_v and_o overcome_v for_o we_o whatsoever_o god_n of_o his_o justice_n and_o truth_n can_v lay_v against_o us._n and_o here_o behold_v the_o depth_n of_o the_o mystery_n of_o god_n eternal_a wisdom_n his_o mercy_n and_o his_o justice_n join_v

of_o his_o own_o dear_a son_n for_o us._n here_o behold_v the_o wonderful_a wisdom_n of_o god_n who_o in_o save_v of_o his_o child_n yet_o omit_v no_o part_n of_o his_o justice_n but_o punish_v their_o sin_n even_o to_o the_o full_a with_o that_o self_n same_o punishment_n which_o he_o himself_o have_v appoint_v &_o this_o which_o he_o have_v suffer_v be_v a_o full_a recompense_n for_o all_o our_o sin_n according_a as_o the_o holy_a ghost_n allege_v if_o any_o man_n sin_n we_o have_v a_o advocate_n with_o the_o father_n 2._o even_o jesus_n christ_n the_o righteous_a and_o he_o be_v the_o

this_o then_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o here_o yet_o arise_v a_o doubt_n for_o see_v jesus_n christ_n have_v sustain_v and_o bear_v the_o punishment_n of_o our_o sin_n so_o much_o as_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n deserve_v it_o shall_v seem_v then_o that_o all_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v save_v but_o we_o see_v the_o clean_a contrary_n 13._o even_o by_o the_o testimony_n of_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o who_o say_v that_o many_o run_v to_o damnation_n and_o few_o in_o comparison_n to_o salvation_n how_o can_v this_o be_v then_o that_o christ_n have_v satisfy_v the_o punishment_n of_o all_o our_o sin_n true_a it_o be_v that_o jesus_n christ_n have_v bear_v whatsoever_o be_v due_a for_o all_o our_o sin_n &_o that_o which_o he_o have_v bear_v be_v also_o sufficient_a punishment_n for_o all_o the_o sin_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o yet_o as_o true_a it_o be_v also_o that_o a_o great_a number_n be_v damn_v notwithstanding_o and_o that_o because_o they_o have_v not_o the_o hand_n of_o faith_n to_o take_v
of_o love_v one_o another_o be_v a_o new_a commandment_n it_o may_v seem_v strange_a that_o he_o call_v it_o new_a and_o yet_o be_v give_v so_o long_o ago_o by_o the_o lord_n god_n himself_o in_o his_o commandment_n 18._o and_o be_v the_o very_a sum_n of_o the_o whole_a second_o table_n as_o it_o do_v appear_v by_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n his_o own_o interpretation_n 39_o that_o we_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourself_o this_o then_o seem_v not_o to_o be_v new_a which_o be_v deliver_v to_o moses_n a_o thousand_o year_n before_o &_o more_o true_a it_o be_v our_o saviour_n christ_n do_v not_o here_o call_v it_o new_a as_o though_o it_o have_v never_o be_v utter_v before_o but_o because_o he_o will_v call_v a_o new_a to_o the_o mind_n that_o which_o they_o have_v hear_v of_o old_a out_o of_o the_o law_n before_o he_o call_v it_o therefore_o new_a which_o be_v new_o renew_v again_o in_o memory_n &_o moreover_o also_o now_o at_o his_o death_n because_o he_o will_v have_v it_o stick_v continual_o in_o their_o mind_n as_o a_o thing_n new_a tell_v fresh_a in_o our_o mind_n for_o we_o know_v thing_n that_o be_v old_a do_v or_o speak_v be_v not_o so_o ripe_a in_o our_o head_n as_o that_o that_o be_v new_o do_v or_o speak_v that_o it_o may_v be_v therefore_o unto_o we_o continual_o new_a and_o fresh_a in_o our_o mind_n he_o call_v it_o new_a not_o old_a and_o raw_a but_o fresh_a and_o new_a we_o have_v therefore_o well_o to_o consider_v of_o it_o and_o every_o one_o of_o we_o to_o enter_v deep_a into_o ourselves_o and_o try_v our_o heart_n whether_o this_o commandment_n be_v new_a fresh_a and_o green_a in_o our_o mind_n or_o no_o or_o rather_o whether_o it_o be_v so_o old_a unto_o we_o that_o we_o have_v clean_o forget_v it_o i_o be_o afraid_a if_o we_o well_o try_v and_o examine_v ourselves_o we_o shall_v find_v it_o fresh_a and_o new_a among_o a_o very_a few_o or_o none_o of_o we_o but_o so_o old_a that_o it_o be_v even_o at_o the_o last_o cast_v with_o a_o great_a number_n of_o we_o and_o a_o new_a commandment_n come_v in_o the_o room_n of_o it_o not_o from_o jesus_n christ_n but_o satan_n and_o the_o devil_n a_o new_a commandment_n that_o we_o love_v not_o one_o a_o other_o but_o every_o man_n himself_o this_o same_o new_a commandment_n of_o satan_n of_o love_v ourselves_o oh_o it_o be_v marvellous_a rife_a fresh_a and_o new_a among_o we_o but_o the_o new_a commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n of_o love_v one_o a_o other_o it_o be_v so_o stale_a and_o wear_v out_o of_o use_n among_o we_o new-fangled_a englishman_n and_o especial_o among_o we_o norfolk_n man_n if_o jesus_n christ_n have_v give_v we_o this_o commandment_n to_o love_v ourselves_o how_o notable_o can_v we_o have_v practise_v it_o and_o what_o a_o number_n of_o follower_n thereof_o shall_v we_o have_v find_v among_o we_o at_o this_o day_n all_o england_n all_o norfolk_n shall_v have_v be_v find_v very_o perfect_a in_o it_o but_o alas_o good_a brethren_n it_o be_v clean_o contrary_a that_o commandment_n which_o he_o will_v have_v new_a among_o we_o be_v not_o to_o love_v ourselves_o but_o to_o love_v one_o a_o other_o this_o be_v that_o which_o be_v very_o rare_a in_o our_o day_n and_o must_v be_v new_a fresh_a and_o rife_o among_o we_o there_o be_v no_o remedy_n or_o sure_o the_o lord_n will_v begin_v a_o new_a work_n among_o we_o he_o can_v abide_v to_o hear_v his_o commandment_n so_o contemptuous_o and_o despiteful_o tread_v under_o our_o foot_n therefore_o let_v we_o be_v careful_a in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n to_o amend_v that_o which_o be_v amiss_o in_o we_o and_o now_o begin_v to_o embrace_v this_o new_a commandment_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n of_o love_v one_o a_o other_o and_o utter_o forsake_v and_o remove_v that_o old_a satan_n commandment_n of_o love_v of_o ourselves_o that_o we_o may_v be_v right_a disciple_n and_o scholar_n of_o jesus_n christ_n as_o we_o say_v we_o be_v christian_n and_o hold_v of_o christ_n well_o thus_o you_o see_v what_o weighty_a charge_n be_v give_v of_o our_o saviour_n to_o love_v one_o a_o other_o it_o be_v no_o small_a matter_n and_o therefore_o not_o hasty_o to_o be_v put_v up_o because_o it_o be_v both_o a_o commandment_n and_o proceed_v also_o from_o he_o that_o have_v authority_n over_o all_o thing_n to_o command_v which_o have_v his_o judgement_n for_o we_o in_o the_o life_n to_o come_v if_o we_o will_v not_o be_v teach_v by_o fair_a mean_n here_o in_o this_o life_n now_o it_o follow_v in_o the_o text_n even_o as_o i_o have_v love_v you_o this_o

for_o a_o pattern_n to_o try_v our_o love_n by_o whether_o it_o be_v sincere_a or_o feign_a the_o reason_n whereby_o he_o exhort_v we_o to_o love_v one_o a_o other_o stand_v thus_o i_o so_o tender_o

and_o not_o to_o be_v suffer_v among_o man_n so_o to_o requite_v the_o goodness_n of_o their_o king_n nay_o will_v not_o we_o rather_o give_v our_o verdict_n upon_o they_o and_o think_v they_o well_o serve_v to_o be_v set_v again_o all_o alike_o in_o beggary_n and_o slavery_n as_o they_o be_v before_o and_o look_v if_o they_o can_v agree_v any_o better_a among_o themselves_o there_o yes_o sure_o will_v we_o and_o think_v they_o well_o serve_v even_o so_o good_a brethren_n if_o we_o will_v not_o love_v one_o a_o other_o since_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v so_o tender_o love_v we_o that_o he_o have_v give_v himself_o for_o we_o to_o redeem_v we_o from_o hell_n sure_o it_o can_v not_o be_v otherwise_o think_v but_o that_o we_o deserve_v to_o be_v throw_v down_o headlong_o to_o hell_n eternal_o and_o look_v if_o we_o can_v agree_v any_o better_a there_o it_o please_v the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o redeem_v we_o from_o damnation_n that_o we_o may_v love_v one_o a_o other_o as_o he_o love_v we_o if_o we_o will_v not_o then_o love_v one_o a_o other_o what_o be_v it_o else_o but_o even_o to_o provoke_v the_o lord_n jesus_n to_o leave_v we_o even_o where_o he_o find_v we_o that_o be_v even_o firebrand_n of_o hell_n and_o look_v how_o we_o can_v away_o with_o that_o gear_n wherefore_o good_a brethren_n let_v we_o take_v this_o argument_n to_o ourselves_o and_o although_o we_o will_v not_o love_v one_o a_o other_o for_o no_o other_o thing_n yet_o at_o the_o least_o let_v we_o love_v one_o a_o other_o for_o jesus_n christ_n sake_n who_o so_o tender_o and_o dear_o love_v we_o that_o he_o give_v his_o own_o life_n for_o we_o if_o not_o for_o his_o sake_n yet_o good_a brethren_n for_o our_o own_o soul_n sake_n which_o shall_v perish_v in_o hell_n everlasting_o thus_o
