33._o he_o that_o have_v love_v we_o and_o give_v himself_o for_o we_o when_o we_o be_v his_o enemy_n may_v he_o not_o just_o expect_v and_o command_v from_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v love_v our_o

of_o the_o follow_a word_n we_o be_v to_o love_v our_o enemy_n be_v they_o never_o so_o many_o we_o must_v love_v they_o all_o and_o be_v they_o never_o so_o much_o one_o enemy_n for_o here_o be_v no_o limitation_n put_v either_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o number_n or_o enmity_n or_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o love_n it_o be_v not_o say_v how_o much_o we_o shall_v love_v they_o to_o show_v that_o we_o shall_v love_v they_o without_o measure_n reas._n now_o the_o reason_n why_o love_v your_o enemy_n be_v put_v first_o be_v because_o that_o this_o must_v have_v a_o influence_n upon_o all_o the_o rest_n we_o must_v bless_v they_o that_o curse_v we_o do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o hate_v we_o upon_o this_o very_a ground_n and_o from_o this_o principle_n because_o we_o love_v they_o but_o if_o our_o enemy_n curse_v we_o than_o we_o be_v not_o to_o content_v ourselves_o with_o a_o bare_a inward_a love_n to_o they_o but_o we_o must_v show_v our_o love_n by_o our_o outward_a expression_n and_o as_o our_o enemy_n increase_v in_o the_o manifestation_n of_o their_o enmity_n so_o we_o must_v increase_v in_o the_o manifestation_n of_o our_o love_n and_o we_o must_v not_o only_o not_o curse_v again_o or_o be_v silent_a and_o neither_o bless_v nor_o curse_n but_o we_o must_v bless_v they_o that_o curse_v we_o nor_o be_v it_o set_v down_o how_o much_o how_o often_o nor_o when_o we_o must_v bless_v that_o we_o may_v put_v no_o limit_n to_o our_o blessing_n in_o any_o of_o these_o respect_n and_o as_o before_o it_o be_v observe_v concerning_o our_o enemy_n be_v they_o never_o so_o many_o and_o never_o so_o much_o our_o enemy_n we_o ought_v to_o love_v they_o for_o the_o same_o observation_n may_v run_v through_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o branch_n of_o this_o precept_n nor_o do_v our_o saviour_n wish_v we_o to_o reprove_v those_o that_o curse_v we_o but_o to_o bless_v they_o first_o because_o reproof_n at_o such_o a_o time_n be_v very_o unseasonable_a for_o doubtless_o there_o be_v a_o time_n to_o reprove_v second_o general_o because_o reproof_n at_o such_o time_n when_o people_n be_v curse_v of_o we_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o revenge_n take_v of_o they_o especial_o if_o it_o be_v before_o other_o for_o we_o lie_v open_v their_o shame_n three_o because_o this_o be_v the_o mild_a the_o secret_a and_o love_a way_n of_o reproof_n for_o i_o remember_v the_o rule_n be_v give_v that_o one_o shall_v not_o if_o one_o hear_v one_o speak_v a_o word_n of_o latin_a wrong_n tell_v he_o that_o he_o pronounce_v it_o not_o as_o it_o shall_v be_v pronounce_v much_o less_o to_o tell_v he_o that_o he_o be_v a_o ignorant_a man_n but_o speedy_o to_o take_v some_o occasion_n to_o speak_v that_o word_n right_a so_o here_o if_o thy_o enemy_n speak_v false_a christian_a language_n thy_o mild_a way_n to_o show_v he_o his_o error_n be_v by_o speak_v those_o word_n right_a which_o he_o have_v speak_v wrong_a for_o by_o thy_o blessing_n he_o thou_o do_v in_o a_o mild_a manner_n show_v that_o he_o shall_v have_v bless_v thou_o the_o next_o branch_n be_v that_o we_o shall_v do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o hate_v we_o many_o be_v willing_a to_o give_v good_a word_n but_o they_o will_v not_o do_v any_o good_a deed_n to_o their_o enemy_n they_o will_v serve_v god_n of_o that_o which_o cost_v they_o nought_o but_o in_o the_o original_a it_o be_v not_o do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o hate_v you_o but_o do_v well_o to_o show_v we_o that_o if_o we_o do_v our_o enemy_n good_a yet_o if_o we_o do_v it_o in_o a_o churlish_a and_o scornful_a manner_n we_o do_v not_o observe_v his_o commandment_n but_o if_o thy_o enemy_n shall_v have_v block_v up_o this_o way_n because_o he_o scorn_v to_o receive_v or_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o persecution_n have_v disable_v thou_o to_o bestow_v any_o temporal_a courtesy_n upon_o he_o then_o take_v another_o way_n and_o do_v he_o that_o courtesy_n which_o he_o can_v reject_v for_o though_o one_o can_v give_v a_o man_n money_n who_o will_v not_o receive_v it_o yet_o one_o may_v pray_v and_o one_o prayer_n may_v be_v powerful_a to_o do_v our_o enemy_n good_a whether_o they_o will_v or_o no_o so_o that_o thou_o can_v never_o be_v so_o impoverish_v by_o persecution_n but_o thou_o be_v worth_a a_o prayer_n nor_o thy_o enemy_n can_v hardly_o be_v so_o obstinate_a but_o thy_o prayer_n
