the_o apostle_n for_o preserve_a unity_n in_o the_o six_o place_n exhort_v we_o to_o amity_n yea_o he_o give_v a_o broad_a hint_n that_o even_o toleration_n or_o forbearance_n itself_o will_v no_o

be_v root_v and_o ground_v in_o love_n and_o walk_v in_o love_n as_o christ_n have_v love_v we_o and_o true_o though_o unity_n be_v not_o the_o effect_n of_o this_o yet_o who_o will_v not_o choose_v and_o study_v and_o strive_v to_o live_v in_o love_n consider_v how_o delectable_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v delectable_a i_o must_v own_v beyond_o my_o ability_n of_o describe_v it_o only_o this_o let_v

part_n of_o the_o saint_n felicity_n lie_v in_o their_o love_n to_o god_n and_o one_o another_o in_o compliance_n therefore_o with_o the_o holy_a direction_n let_v we_o be_v kind_o affection_a one_o to_o another_o and_o let_v we_o provoke_v one_o another_o to_o love_n let_v our_o love_n be_v of_o the_o right_a kind_n without_o dissimulation_n and_o let_v it_o be_v of_o a_o just_a extent_n reach_v
