merciful_a as_o he_o be_v merciful_a he_o will_v have_v we_o love_v as_o he_o be_v love_v itself_o again_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o love_a father_n by_o all_o mean_n to_o procure_v the_o

to_o they_o that_o love_n god_n rom._n 8._o so_o all_o thing_n work_v to_o the_o worst_a to_o they_o that_o be_v envious_a therefore_o one_o wish_v that_o the_o envious_a man_n have_v eye_n in_o

be_v the_o nature_n of_o godly_a love_n to_o relieve_v and_o help_v he_o that_o be_v belove_v therefore_o who_o thou_o love_v if_o thou_o love_v he_o true_o thou_o can_v not_o see_v he_o lack_v if_o

thou_o shall_v love_v under_o this_o word_n thou_o god_n comprehend_v every_o particular_a man_n and_o woman_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v thou_o thyself_o and_o not_o any_o other_o for_o thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n the_o poor_a man_n be_v not_o exempt_v from_o this_o precept_n because_o he_o may_v love_v aswell_o as_o the_o scotfree_a if_o he_o say_v i_o have_v no_o wealth_n

and_o as_o david_n lay_v i_o never_o see_v the_o righteous_a forsake_v nor_o his_o seed_n beg_v their_o bread_n so_o they_o must_v needs_o confess_v if_o they_o will_v confess_v the_o truth_n that_o
