aught_o much_o to_o be_v strengthen_v by_o that_o bond_n of_o natural_a propagation_n for_o that_o what_o god_n vouchsafe_v not_o to_o other_o creature_n no_o nor_o to_o his_o good_a angel_n he_o

nature_n of_o the_o lawgiver_n god_n for_o general_o such_o as_o the_o legislator_n be_v such_o be_v his_o law_n so_o that_o be_v the_o lawmaker_n a_o bloody_a man_n his_o law_n savour_v of_o cruelty_n and_o blood_n whereas_o be_v he_o of_o a_o sweet_a meek_a disposition_n his_o law_n be_v full_a of_o mercy_n and_o love_n now_o god_n be_v love_n itself_o his_o law_n or_o command_n to_o man_n that_o he_o love_v his_o neighbour_n relish_v of_o god_n own_o nature_n as_o flow_v from_o it_o so_o that_o the_o near_o we_o come_v to_o the_o fulfil_n this_o law_n of_o love_n the_o near_o we_o approach_v to_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n which_o be_v love_n christ_n therefore_o though_o at_o first_o he_o take_v not_o away_o all_o legal_a sacrifice_n yet_o he_o profess_v that_o he_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_n 9.13_o mat._n 9.13_o or_o mercy_n rather_o than_o sacrifice_v but_o so_o as_o in_o the_o sacrifice_n of_o cain_n if_o it_o be_v mingle_v with_o the_o hatred_n of_o his_o brother_n abel_n he_o reject_v it_o and_o in_o this_o or_o such_o a_o sacrifice_n he_o say_v i_o will_v have_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_v and_o according_o when_o the_o scribe_n answer_v christ_n according_a to_o his_o own_o doctrine_n that_o to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o 12.13_o mar._n 12.13_o be_v more_o than_o all_o sacrifice_n christ_n hereupon_o find_v that_o the_o scribe_n answer_v discreet_o and_o to_o the_o truth_n he_o say_v unto_o he_o thou_o be_v not_o far_o from_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o if_o christ_n have_v say_v thus_o to_o teach_v and_o so_o to_o do_v be_v the_o straight_a way_n to_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o without_o it_o there_o be_v no_o other_o way_n in_o the_o
to_o be_v pity_v but_o upon_o their_o own_o suffering_n or_o action_n they_o look_v with_o eye_n like_o multiplying-glass_n whereby_o their_o own_o action_n seem_v unvaluable_a and_o their_o suffering_n intolerable_a so_o that_o what_o in_o himself_o he_o fee_v as_o a_o beam_n in_o his_o brother_n it_o be_v look_v upon_o as_o a_o gnat_n or_o a_o straw_n whereas_o do_v they_o state_n their_o neighbour_n case_n and_o act_n to_o be_v as_o their_o own_o than_o they_o may_v judge_v the_o better_a and_o more_o upright_o and_o this_o be_v to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o but_o before_o i_o pass_v from_o the_o first_o to_o the_o second_o rule_n in_o love_v our_o neighbour_n i_o must_v observe_v that_o there_o be_v some_o who_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o this_o rule_n to_o love_v their_o neighbour_n as_o themselves_o because_o themselves_o be_v such_o who_o love_v not_o themselves_o and_o if_o you_o wonder_v who_o these_o shall_v be_v be_v that_o s._n paul_n tell_v

follow_v that_o which_o be_v his_o ruin_n and_o destruction_n can_v right_o be_v say_v to_o love_v himself_o and_o therefore_o if_o he_o love_v his_o neighbour_n as_o himself_o that_o be_v to_o make_v his_o neighbour_n a_o sinner_n as_o himself_o he_o may_v be_v rather_o say_v to_o hate_v his_o neighbour_n as_o himself_o and_o not_o to_o love_v he_o for_o that_o by_o his_o wicked_a love_n he_o destroy_v himself_o and_o his_o neighbour_n the_o second_o rule_n in_o love_v our_o neighbour_n christ_n give_v we_o 15.12_o joh._n 15.12_o say_v love_v you_o one_o the_o other_o as_o i_o have_v
