2._o o_o belove_a it_o be_v wonderful_a to_o think_v how_o deep_o a_o root_n s._n paul_n lay_v here_o of_o christianity_n for_o whereas_o he_o speak_v in_o all_o the_o follow_a verse_n of_o unity_n of_o body_n of_o spirit_n of_o hope_n of_o our_o lord_n of_o faith_n of_o baptism_n of_o god_n etc._n etc._n he_o mean_v our_o unanimity_n must_v not_o consist_v of_o our_o be_v all_o of_o one_o mind_n with_o one_o another_o for_o so_o be_v many_o that_o be_v not_o true_a believer_n but_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v all_o of_o one_o mind_n with_o god_n who_o by_o his_o sacred_a son_n and_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v teach_v we_o what_o that_o one_o mind_n be_v of_o his_o divine_a majesty_n which_o we_o shall_v be_v of_o such_o a_o mind_n as_o make_v we_o one_o thing_n with_o he_o how_o ever_o several_a thing_n in_o ourselves_o that_o be_v to_o say_v one_o mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n animate_v by_o one_o spirit_n believe_v one_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n which_o his_o sacred_a son_n deliver_v unto_o we_o not_o make_v our_o own_o faith_n suitable_a to_o our_o own_o fancy_n and_o call_v that_o one_o spirit_n because_o many_o be_v of_o that_o fancy_n too_o no_o no_o belove_a christian_a unanimity_n be_v root_v in_o the_o sacred_a trinity_n where_o though_o there_o be_v a_o multiplicity_n of_o person_n yet_o be_v there_o a_o simplicity_n of_o nature_n a_o unity_n of_o essence_n a_o identity_n of_o deity_n not_o only_o because_o the_o three_o distinct_a person_n be_v all_o of_o one_o mind_n but_o because_o they_o be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n or_o be_v rather_o since_o in_o god_n there_o be_v no_o composition_n between_o the_o thing_n and_o the_o be_v thereof_o as_o be_v in_o creature_n and_o so_o he_o be_v more_o proper_o call_v a_o simple_a be_v than_o a_o simple_a thing_n and_o therefore_o all_o our_o simplicity_n unity_n or_o indivisibility_n must_v have_v root_n in_o he_o and_o not_o in_o we_o so_o that_o the_o unity_n of_o our_o spirit_n which_o make_v we_o one_o mystical_a body_n of_o christ_n must_v be_v derive_v from_o the_o same_o divine_a spirit_n that_o make_v god_n and_o man_n one_o person_n only_o though_o consist_v of_o two_o nature_n 3._o to_o conclude_v as_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o deity_n consist_v in_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o bless_a trinity_n so_o do_v the_o essence_n of_o true_a christianity_n consist_v in_o the_o unanimity_n of_o christian_n yet_o with_o this_o difference_n that_o in_o this_o life_n their_o unity_n be_v rather_o a_o community_n then_o a_o identity_n and_o their_o union_n proper_o be_v a_o communion_n first_o with_o christ_n their_o head_n next_o with_o his_o holy_a spouse_n the_o church_n and_o last_o with_o the_o saint_n as_o in_o our_o creed_n we_o profess_v for_o by_o the_o participation_n of_o all_o their_o saintity_n it_o be_v that_o sinner_n be_v draw_v out_o of_o the_o mire_n of_o their_o iniquity_n and_o as_o we_o read_v 1._o jo._n 4._o v._n 10._o charity_n be_v not_o in_o this_o as_o though_o you_o have_v love_v god_n but_o because_o he_o have_v love_v you_o so_o we_o may_v say_v of_o faith_n it_o be_v not_o as_o we_o square_v or_o choose_v it_o but_o as_o christ_n have_v square_v it_o since_o we_o be_v not_o he_o for_o our_o choose_v he_o but_o because_o he_o have_v choose_v we_o jo._n 15._o v._n 16._o now_o because_o upon_o this_o epistle_n preacher_n be_v to_o insist_v on_o the_o communion_n or_o union_n the_o unanimity_n or_o unity_n of_o true_a christianity_n as_o the_o proper_a difference_n thereof_o make_v they_o saint_n only_a and_o save_v soul_n who_o be_v true_a believer_n and_o true_a lover_n as_o above_o therefore_o holy_a church_n to_o day_n pray_v to_o be_v preserve_v from_o that_o which_o be_v the_o poison_n bane_n and_o contagion_n of_o christian_n namely_o division_n faction_n schism_n heresy_n infidelity_n etc._n etc._n styl_v these_o very_o proper_o a_o diabolical_a contagion_n because_o the_o devil_n be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o all_o the_o gospel_n matt._n 22.34_o 34_o but_o the_o pharisee_n hear_v that_o he_o have_v put_v the_o sadducee_n to_o silence_n come_v together_o 35_o and_o one_o of_o they_o a_o doctor_n of_o law_n ask_v of_o he_o tempt_v 36_o master_n which_o be_v the_o great_a commandment_n of_o the_o law_n 37_o jesus_n say_v unto_o he_o thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n from_o thy_o whole_a heart_n and_o with_o thy_o whole_a soul_n and_o with_o thy_o whole_a mind_n 38_o this_o be_v the_o great_a commandment_n 39_o and_o the_o second_o be_v like_a to_o this_o thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o 40_o on_o these_o two_o commandment_n depend_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o prophet_n 41_o and_o the_o pharisee_n be_v assemble_v jesus_n ask_v they_o 42_o say_v what_o be_v your_o opinion_n of_o christ_n who_o son_n be_v he_o they_o say_v david_n 43_o he_o say_v to_o they_o how_o then_o do_v david_n in_o spirit_n call_v he_o lord_n say_v 44_o the_o lord_n say_v to_o my_o lord_n sit_v on_o my_o right_a hand_n until_o i_o put_v thy_o enemy_n thy_o foootstool_n to_o thy_o foot_n 45_o if_o david_n therefore_o call_v he_o lord_n how_o be_v he_o his_o son_n 46_o and_o no_o man_n can_v answer_v he_o a_o word_n neither_o dare_v any_o man_n from_o that_o day_n ask_v he_o any_o more_o the_o explication_n 34._o the_o pharisee_n come_v with_o intention_n to_o undervalue_v he_o and_o find_v he_o as_o they_o think_v ignorant_a in_o the_o scripture_n so_o to_o eclipse_v the_o glory_n he_o have_v in_o silence_v the_o sadducee_n ignorant_a man_n in_o the_o esteem_n of_o the_o pharisee_n 35._o it_o seem_v this_o doctor_n come_v not_o with_o any_o real_a intention_n to_o entrap_v our_o saviour_n as_o the_o other_o do_v whereof_o mention_n be_v make_v by_o s._n mark_n c._n 12._o but_o rather_o blind_v the_o other_o pharisee_n by_o seem_v to_o ask_v a_o question_n to_o their_o entrap_a sense_n while_o in_o truth_n he_o do_v ask_v it_o to_o satisfy_v his_o own_o doubt_n in_o point_n of_o practical_a virtue_n as_o the_o sadducee_n have_v be_v satisfy_v by_o he_o in_o the_o speculative_a verity_n of_o the_o resurrection_n for_o here_o this_o doctor_n do_v approve_v our_o saviour_n answer_n and_o say_v to_o he_o thou_o have_v answer_v well_o indeed_o 36._o the_o reason_n they_o ask_v this_o question_n be_v in_o regard_n they_o much_o doubt_v whether_o the_o great_a commandment_n be_v not_o that_o of_o sacrifice_n levit._n c._n 1._o because_o god_n seem_v chief_o honour_v thereby_o and_o here_o the_o pharisee_n absurd_o bid_v child_n refuse_v to_o help_v their_o parent_n under_o pretence_n of_o offer_v to_o god_n what_o shall_v relieve_v their_o needy_a parent_n as_o if_o that_o cloak_n of_o religion_n be_v better_a than_o this_o duty_n to_o nature_n 37._o but_o jesus_n make_v they_o see_v there_o be_v no_o sacrifice_n so_o precious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n as_o that_o of_o our_o heart_n affection_n and_o so_o he_o put_v in_o the_o first_o place_n of_o command_n that_o precept_n of_o charity_n which_o bid_v we_o love_v god_n above_o all_o thing_n with_o all_o our_o heart_n etc._n etc._n and_o the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v because_o there_o be_v no_o precept_n so_o extensive_a as_o this_o of_o love_n whence_o you_o see_v it_o be_v express_v by_o give_v all_o our_o affection_n whole_o to_o god_n this_o make_v s._n bernard_n bold_a to_o say_v we_o must_v love_v he_o beyond_o all_o measure_n when_o he_o say_v the_o mean_a of_o love_n to_o god_n be_v to_o love_v he_o without_o mean_a or_o measure_n 38._o well_o be_v this_o therefore_o call_v the_o first_o and_o great_a commandment_n because_o it_o be_v so_o per_fw-la excellentiam_fw-la by_o excellency_n as_o extend_v to_o a_o kind_n of_o infinity_n when_o it_o put_v no_o mean_a to_o our_o love_n of_o god_n no_o end_n at_o all_o but_o require_v it_o be_v for_o ever_o that_o we_o love_v he_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o charity_n be_v the_o queen_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o life_n of_o all_o virtue_n and_o be_v indeed_o above_o religion_n above_o sacrifice_n because_o by_o charity_n which_o be_v the_o love_n of_o the_o soul_n to_o god_n sacrifice_n be_v command_v to_o be_v make_v as_o testimony_n of_o her_o loyalty_n to_o god_n who_o do_v command_v they_o 39_o this_o love_n of_o our_o neighbour_n be_v call_v the_o second_o commandment_n in_o order_n to_o perfection_n not_o in_o rank_n of_o law_n for_o there_o be_v many_o law_n make_v before_o this_o be_v declare_v by_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o be_v understand_v that_o we_o must_v real_o true_o and_o cordial_o love_v he_o though_o not_o so_o much_o as_o ourselves_o so_o by_o the_o particle_n as_o be_v here_o understand_v similitude_n not_o
