well-beloved_a in_o the_o lord_n but_o the_o word_n which_o christ_n do_v use_v unto_o his_o church_n at_o what_o time_n he_o speak_v unto_o she_o and_o do_v behold_v she_o through_o the_o window_n of_o his_o gospel_n as_o to_o day_n in_o the_o forenoon_n you_o hard_o her_o word_n of_o he_o so_o now_o by_o god_n grace_n you_o may_v hear_v his_o word_n to_o she_o in_o which_o i_o commend_v to_o

church_n the_o exhortation_n declare_v as_o it_o be_v how_o well_o the_o church_n ought_v to_o be_v affect_v towards_o christ_n the_o appellation_n be_v as_o argument_n to_o move_v she_o and_o the_o exhortation_n be_v as_o duty_n move_v unto_o she_o but_o let_v we_o proceed-in_a order_n begin_v first_o with_o the_o appellation_n and_o then_o come_v afterward_o unto_o the_o exhortation_n the_o first_o appellation_n be_v this_o my_o love_n here_o you_o may_v call_v to_o mind_n what_o be_v observe_v before_o upon_o this_o word_n my_o well-beloved_a for_o both_o of_o they_o be_v equivalent_a and_o of_o one_o force_n but_o yet_o here_o be_v further_a to_o be_v add_v unto_o that_o for_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n may_v be_v consider_v three_o way_n first_o it_o be_v general_a towards_o all_o his_o creature_n whereby_o he_o love_v they_o all_o approve_v the_o same_o to_o be_v good_a as_o they_o proceed_v from_o he_o and_o be_v his_o creature_n or_o the_o workmanship_n of_o his_o hand_n second_o as_o it_o be_v special_a towards_o mankind_n in_o that_o he_o be_v content_a to_o become_v a_o redeemer_n for_o mankind_n after_o their_o fall_n and_o not_o for_o any_o other_o

everlasting_a and_o have_v a_o purpose_n to_o do_v they_o good_a for_o evermore_o now_o in_o this_o last_o sense_n be_v the_o word_n here_o to_o be_v take_v doct._n wherefore_o from_o hence_o we_o may_v safe_o collect_v this_o doctrine_n that_o jesus_n christ_n our_o saviour_n be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o do_v love_v his_o church_n and_o people_n well_o they_o be_v dear_a unto_o he_o they_o be_v his_o darling_n and_o his_o love_n they_o be_v such_o on_o who_o his_o heart_n be_v set_v so_o much_o do_v paul_n teach_v we_o when_o he_o faith_n and_o walk_v in_o love_n even_o as_o christ_n have_v love_v we_o and_o have_v give_v himself_o for_o we_o ephes_n 5.2_o so_o much_o do_v john_n teach_v we_o when_o he_o say_v and_o from_o jesus_n christ_n which_o be_v a_o faithful_a witness_n and_o the_o first_o beget_v of_o the_o dead_a and_o prince_n of_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n unto_o he_o that_o love_v we_o and_o wash_v we_o from_o our_o sin_n in_o his_o blood_n revel_v 1.5_o so_o

himself_o teach_v we_o when_o he_o say_v a_o new_a conmandement_n give_v i_o unto_o you_o that_o you_o love_v one_o another_o as_o i_o have_v love_v you_o that_o you_o also_o love_v one_o another_o

reason_n the_o first_o be_v because_o she_o be_v part_n of_o himself_o for_o no_o man_n ever_o yet_o hate_v his_o own_o flesh_n but_o nourish_v and_o cherish_v it_o even_o as_o the_o lord_n do_v the_o

his_o own_o majesty_n stamp_v in_o she_o as_o he_o be_v holy_a so_o she_o be_v holy_a cant._n 4.7_o for_o simile_n simile_n gaudet_fw-la like_a do_v rejoice_v in_o like_a as_o it_o be_v in_o our_o proverb_n the_o three_o be_v because_o she_o do_v love_v he_o and_o have_v some_o good_a care_n to_o worship_n and_o serve_v he_o for_o he_o can_v but_o love_v such_o again_o and_o that_o according_a to_o his_o own_o word_n and_o promise_n when_o he_o say_v he_o that_o have_v my_o commandment_n and_o keep_v they_o be_v he_o that_o love_v i_o and_o he_o that_o love_v i_o shall_v be_v love_v of_o my_o father_n and_o i_o will_v love_v he_o and_o will_v show_v my_o own_o self_n unto_o he_o john_n 14.21_o the_o four_o be_v because_o she_o be_v redeem_v by_o he_o and_o it_o do_v cost_v he_o much_o before_o he_o can_v get_v she_o yea_o more_o than_o silver_n and_o gold_n even_o his_o own_o hart_n blood_n as_o peter_n do_v well_o note_n in_o 1_o pet._n 1.18.19_o when_o he_o say_v know_v that_o you_o be_v not_o redeem_v with_o corruptible_a thing_n as_o silver_n and_o gold_n from_o your_o vain_a conversation_n receive_v by_o the_o tradition_n of_o your_o father_n but_o with_o the_o precious_a blood_n of_o christ_n as_o of_o a_o lamb_n undefiled_a and_o without_o spot_n for_o the_o more_o we_o give_v for_o thing_n the_o great_a value_n and_o price_n do_v we_o set_v
give_v of_o they_o these_o be_v they_o which_o be_v not_o defile_v with_o woman_n for_o they_o be_v virgin_n these_o follow_v the_o lamb_n whithersoever_o he_o go_v these_o be_v buy_v from_o man_n be_v the_o first_o fruit_n unto_o god_n and_o to_o the_o lamb_n reu._n 14.4_o thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o shall_v go_v after_o christ_n and_o be_v well_o content_a to_o leave_v all_o the_o world_n to_o follow_v he_o the_o reason_n to_o move_v we_o hereunto_o be_v these_o first_o reason_n because_o he_o be_v our_o husband_n and_o we_o be_v his_o wife_n ephes_n 5.26_o for_o the_o wife_n must_v follow_v her_o husband_n and_o forsake_v all_o other_o friend_n must_v cleave_v only_o unto_o he_o gen._n 2.25_o second_o because_o he_o will_v then_o take_v a_o great_a delight_n in_o we_o and_o satisfy_v himself_o in_o our_o love_n according_a to_o that_o which_o be_v in_o psal_n 45.11.12_o where_o it_o be_v say_v harken_v o_o daughter_n and_o consider_v &_o incline_v thy_o ear_n forget_v

be_v dead_a to_o the_o world_n and_o a_o live_v in_o he_o câ—l_n 3.3.4_o last_o because_o he_o will_v liberal_o reward_v all_o such_o as_o do_v come_v after_o he_o very_o say_v he_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o that_o when_o the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v sit_v in_o the_o throne_n of_o his_o majesty_n you_o which_o follow_v i_o in_o the_o regeneration_n shall_v sit_v also_o upon_o twelve_o throne_n

of_o christ_n he_o will_v disclaim_v they_o and_o not_o approve_v they_o for_o his_o own_o if_o any_o man_n say_v he_o come_v to_o i_o and_o hate_v not_o his_o father_n and_o mother_n and_o wife_n and_o child_n and_o brethren_n and_o sister_n yea_o and_o his_o own_o life_n also_o he_o can_v be_v my_o disciple_n and_o whosoever_o bear_v not_o his_o cross_n and_o come_v after_o i_o can_v be_v
