you_o behold_v here_o how_o many_o way_n and_o by_o how_o many_o mean_v our_o sweet_a saviour_n go_v about_o to_o draw_v we_o easy_o unto_o salvation_n he_z with_o this_o one_o light_n commandment_n enduce_v we_o to_o the_o fulfilling_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n which_o depend_v before_o on_o two_o commandment_n the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o of_o the_o neighbour_n be_v now_o comprehend_v in_o this_o one_o new_a commandment_n on_o this_o wise_a our_o saviour_n christ_n be_v man_n amongst_o we_o be_v one_o of_o we_o that_o shall_v love_v amongst_o ourselves_o and_o so_o love_a he_o be_v also_o god_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o we_o love_v god_n by_o reason_n whereof_o in_o this_o one_o commandment_n be_v the_o whole_a law_n fulfil_v which_o before_o christ_n incarnation_n be_v impossible_a god_n and_o man_n be_v through_o our_o default_n of_o nature_n and_o rebellion_n plain_o separate_v but_o now_o that_o christ_n both_o by_o grace_n and_o by_o nature_n have_v ioygn_v they_o together_o law_n he_o will_v also_o knit_v the_o two_o old_a precept_n in_o one_o and_o for_o the_o new_a and_o meruailouse_a effect_n of_o it_o in_o unite_v man_n with_o god_n will_v also_o call_v it_o the_o new_a commandment_n because_o it_o unite_v the_o love_n of_o man_n with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o this_o in_o my_o opinion_n be_v the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o those_o word_n ¶_o the_o love_n of_o god_n towards_o us._n now_o than_o have_v our_o lord_n for_o fulfil_v of_o his_o law_n command_v we_o to_o love_v amongst_o ourselves_o &_o how_o even_o as_o he_o have_v love_v us._n but_o how_o have_v our_o lord_n love_v we_o so_o much_o that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v express_v for_o beside_o that_o he_o have_v create_v we_o of_o naught_o and_o form_n we_o unto_o his_o

our_o sin_n and_o to_o make_v we_o apt_a to_o ascend_v unto_o he_o as_o the_o prophet_n say_v in_o his_o psalm_n he_o make_v the_o heaven_n to_o incline_v and_o descend_v unto_o we_o of_o god_n he_o

to_o delyver_v we_o from_o passion_n be_v pure_a and_o uncreate_v he_o take_v on_o he_o a_o earthelie_o body_n to_o make_v our_o soul_n and_o body_n glorify_v he_o dwell_v in_o the_o earth_n to_o make_v we_o citisin_n of_o heaven_n he_o suffer_v hunger_n and_o thirst_n to_o feed_v we_o with_o ambrosia_n and_o with_o angel_n food_n he_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v tempt_v of_o the_o devil_n to_o deliver_v we_o from_o his_o temptation_n he_o will_v be_v take_v and_o bind_v to_o loose_v and_o deliver_v we_o out_o of_o the_o chain_n of_o our_o enemy_n he_o suffer_v himself_o to_o be_v

yet_o refuse_v to_o be_v wound_v with_o spear_n and_o nail_n to_o heal_v our_o incurable_a wound_n he_o suffer_v a_o crown_n of_o prick_v thorn_n to_o crown_v we_o with_o the_o crown_n of_o glory_n he_o will_v to_o die_v to_o purchase_v our_o life_n and_o descend_v unto_o hell_n to_o make_v we_o ascend_v unto_o heaven_n these_o thing_n have_v our_o saviour_n do_v for_o our_o love_n besides_o

to_o love_v he_o amongst_o our_o self_n but_o peradventure_o some_o may_v think_v this_o a_o hard_a commandment_n that_o we_o shall_v love_v no_o less_o amongst_o ourselves_o than_o as_o he_o have_v love_v we_o because_o his_o love_n be_v infinite_a it_o be_v impossible_a our_o love_n shall_v be_v equal_a thereunto_o wherefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v note_v that_o jesu_n christ_n who_o descend_v
