Lastly if the love of our enemies surpasse the love of our friends why doth it not also exceede the love of our selves which is the fountaine of that other love And for the reasons of the first opinion they are more specious than solid and therefore perhaps the Doctor balkes them without any decision For first by our Saviours Doctrine the morall law forbids all private externall revenge against civill enemies or legall and all inward hatred even of those whom they were permitted to kill only what was abstruse in the Law or obscured by the Doctor of the Law was in this case cleared and expounded by our Saviour in the Gospel Secondly the love of our enemies is the imitation of the divine goodnesse and t is in a matter most difficult but yet since i Difficultas non efficat actum in entita●e prastantiorem cum ipso non sit bonum sed potius malum morale impedicas sc actiones virtutis licet ex accidente promeveat adjuvetque difficulty infuseth no moral goodnes into an act t is not in a matter most worthy to be imitated For doubtlesse in God according to our understanding although in God as hee is in himselfe all things bee the chiefest his love of himselfe and his love of his children is to be preferred before his love of his enemies in our choise and method of imitation instructing us first here below to love our selves then our k Quo praestantius obiectum de caeteris paribus perfectior actio sed praestantius est obiectum amicus quam inimicus ergo Mend 2.

Of mutuall love of Christians in what particular societies soever they live together of you of the Laitie also to mutuall love in the Lord Iesus q Eccles. 12.11 at least to the increase and continuance thereof Supposing I may say with the Apostle 1 Thes 4.9 10. As touching brotherly love yee neede not that I write or speake unto you for yee your selves are taught of God to love one another And indeede yee doe it Yet must I goe on with S.

Although then you be in charity already with one another yet let the q Eccl. 12.11 words of the wise even of the spirit of wisedome bee as goads to drive you forwards in this duty and as nailes fastned by the masters of the assemblies to fix this grace the surer in your mindes which are given from one shepheard sc Christ Iesus the chiefe shepheard and Byshop of our soules B●● I beseech you in the bowells of Christ Iesus Above all things farre above all by-respects of selfe love have fervent charity amongst your selves 1 Pet. 4.8 To this purpose Consider one another to provoke to love and to good workes the effects of love not forsaking the assemblings of your selves like brethren together in vnity as the manner of some is Heb. 10.24 25. And be at peace among your selves 1 Thes 5.13 Shewing your love to one another by your agreement together For hatred stirreth up strife Prov. 10.12 And it is onely pride that begetteth this hatred for onely by pride commeth contention Prov. 13.10 But with the well advised is wisedome saith Salomon there And love which covers all sinnes as Salomon hath it Ib. sc Prov. 10.12 is the fraight of heavenly wisedome For this wisedom is peaceable gentle easie to be intreated Iam. 3.17 yea she is ready not only to accept but to offer agreement For there v. 18. not onely the fruit of righteousnes is sowne in peace but it is also of them that make peace So then my brethren not onely have love and bee at peace when love and peace are presented unto you but also r 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 1 Cor. 14.1 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 persequimur charitatem Follow after or pursue Charity 1 Cor. 14.1 And likewise as David exhorts you Psal 34.14 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 quaere pacem sequere eam i. e. seeke peace and follow it ſ Pagnin in Lex Qui tamen 〈…〉 Quaere non verbis solum interrogatione hoc enim est 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 sed conatu studi● hoc enim 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 significat The word in the originall intimates that wee should seeke peace not onely in t Psal 55 21. words by inquiring after it with an is it peace O Iehu but in deedes also by serious study and endeavour to attaine it Although your soules with Davids have long dwelt with those that are enemies to peace and persecute it into strife and faction yet doe you still with David pursue peace to imbrace and possesse it Alas love and peace like riches Prov. 23.5 make themselves wings and flye away like an Eagle towards heaven And like a bird escaped they are hardly caught and brought backe againe O then you that enjoy them hold them fast as Iacob held the Angell that they may blesse you ere they goe away or rather that they may not depart at all So that either your prayers and endeavours may returne into your owne bosomes and make you happy in your owne consciences or else may all so take effect abroad and make you happy in the fruit thereof among your brethren For truth it selfe hath sayd that Blessed are the peace-makers Mat. 5.9 that is not onely they which effect but they also which heartily endeavour peace u Col. 3.12 Put on therefore as the elect of God holy and beloved bowells of mercies kindnesse humblenesse of minde meekenes long-sussering Forbearing one another V. 13. and forgiving one another if any man have a quarrell against any Even as Christ forgave you so also doe yee And above all things put on Charity V. 14. which is the bond of perfection And let the peace of God and so consequently V. 15. the God of peace rule in your hearts Heare the conclusion of the whole matter which I have delivered unto you on my Text and that you shall have from S. Augustine Si non vacat c. If thou hast no leasure to turne over all the leaves of holy writ hold fast Charity And in her thou shalt finde all knowledg so thou shalt retaine in thy minde both what thou hast learned in Scripture and also what thou hast not learned Because upon Charity all the Law and the Prophets depend Matth. 22. In that which thou understandest Charity is evident in that which thou understandest not Charity lyeth hidden He therefore holds fasts that which is manifest and that which is abstruse in Gods word who keepes Charity in his conversation Charity is the bond of affections without which the rich man is poore and with which the poore man is rich How great is she The safeguard of the soule the establishment of knowledge the fruit of faith the wealth of the needy the life of dying men Shee alone is not troubled with other mens felicitie for shee envieth not Shee alone is not lifted on high with her owne prosperity for shee is not puffed up Among reproaches shee is secure in the midst of hatred shee is kind Amongst quarrells she is gentle amongst treacheries shee is innocent Therefore she beares all things in this present life because shee beleeveth all things concerning the life to come Whatsoever more abundant good then my speech can utter you shall finde out in the commendation of Charity let it appeare in your lives Thus w Ipsissima August verba sunt Tom. 10. pag. 232. serm 39. de Temp Si non vacat omnes paginas Scripturarum evolvere tene Charitatem et in ea invenies omnem scientiam Ita tenebis quod in Scriptura didicisti tenebis etiam quod non didusti Quia â Charitate tota lex et prophete pendent In eo quod intelligis charitas patet in eo quod non intelligis Charitas latet Ille itaque tenet quod patet quod latet in divinis sermonibus qui charitatem tenet in moribus Vinculum est mentium sine qua dives pauper est cum qua pauper dives est Quanta est ista Animarum salus scientiae solidamentum fidei fructus divitiae pauperum vita moricatium Sola est quam faelicitas aliena nompremit qui a non aemulatur Sola est quam faelicitas sua non extollit quia non inflatur Inter opprobria secitra est Inter odia benefica est Inter iras placida est Inter insidias innocens Ideo tolerat omnia c. ibid.
