duty_n namely_o those_o which_o be_v comprehend_v under_o those_o two_o great_a commandment_n of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o our_o neighbour_n in_o the_o christian_a religion_n there_o be_v very_o

of_o moral_a duty_n it_o discover_v our_o duty_n more_o clear_o to_o we_o it_o offer_v we_o the_o great_a assistance_n to_o enable_v we_o to_o the_o performance_n of_o it_o it_o present_v we_o with_o the_o most_o powerful_a motive_n and_o argument_n to_o engage_v we_o thereto_o so_o that_o this_o revelation_n of_o the_o gospel_n be_v so_o far_o from_o weaken_v the_o obligation_n of_o natural_a

good_a and_o show_v the_o great_a charity_n to_o one_o another_o it_o be_v no_o where_o make_v a_o question_n will_v the_o lord_n be_v please_v that_o we_o deal_v just_o every_o man_n with_o his_o

to_o those_o that_o be_v in_o need_n there_o be_v no_o such_o question_n as_o this_o put_v in_o scripture_n nay_o it_o be_v positive_a in_o these_o matter_n that_o with_o such_o sacrifice_n god_n be_v

and_o disposition_n of_o mind_n he_o advance_v above_o knowledge_n and_o faith_n and_o hope_v the_o great_a of_o these_o be_v charity_n and_o without_o this_o he_o will_v not_o allow_v a_o man_n to_o

this_o our_o saviour_n most_o effectual_o recommend_v to_o we_o both_o in_o his_o doctrine_n and_o by_o his_o example_n this_o he_o press_v as_o the_o peculiar_a law_n of_o his_o religion_n and_o the_o proper_a mark_n and_o character_n of_o a_o disciple_n this_o he_o require_v we_o to_o exercise_v towards_o those_o who_o practice_n the_o contrary_a towards_o we_o to_o love_v our_o enemy_n and_o to_o do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o hate_v we_o and_o of_o this_o he_o have_v give_v we_o the_o great_a example_n that_o ever_o be_v when_o we_o be_v enemy_n to_o he_o he_o love_v we_o so_o as_o hardly_o ever_o any_o man_n do_v his_o friend_n so_o as_o to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o we_o and_o he_o institute_v the_o sacrament_n for_o a_o memorial_n of_o his_o love_n to_o mankind_n and_o

natural_a and_o moral_a duty_n ought_v to_o have_v in_o the_o christian_a religion_n and_o of_o all_o natural_a duty_n mercy_n and_o goodness_n this_o be_v so_o primary_n a_o duty_n of_o humane_a nature_n so_o great_a and_o considerable_a a_o part_n of_o religion_n that_o all_o positive_a institution_n must_v give_v way_n to_o it_o and_o nothing_o of_o that_o kind_n can_v cancel_v the_o
