A42553	Philadelphia, or, a treatise of brotherly-love Shewing, that we must love all men: love the wicked in general: love our enemies: that the godly must especially love another: and the reasons of each particular love. The manner of our mutual love; the dignity, necessity, excellenc, and usefulness of brotherly-love. That the want of love, where love is due, is hatred, shewed in divers particulars. The greatness of the sin of malice and hatred; with the reasons why wicked men hate the saints: together with cautions against those sins that break the bond of love. Many weighty questions discussed, and divers cases cleared. By William Gearing, minister of the word.	Gearing, William.	1670 (1670)	Wing G436C; ESTC R223669	92,727	215

that_o it_o be_v in_o express_a word_n give_v in_o command_n at_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n i_o mean_v we_o do_v not_o find_v any_o record_n in_o the_o word_n mention_v any_o such_o express_a

do_v grievous_o transgress_v as_o appear_v by_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o he_o by_o his_o arraignment_n and_o punishment_n of_o he_o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o law_n of_o love_n give_v in_o

that_o this_o image_n of_o god_n be_v lose_v by_o the_o fall_n and_o so_o the_o law_n of_o love_n as_o well_o as_o other_o part_n of_o holiness_n be_v blot_v out_o of_o his_o heart_n i_o answer_v that_o though_o it_o be_v blot_v out_o of_o his_o heart_n yet_o i_o do_v not_o believe_v it_o be_v blot_v out_o of_o his_o head_n and_o understanding_n but_o that_o still_o he_o retain_v a_o

this_o law_n of_o love_n he_o have_v lose_v that_o inclination_n to_o entire_a and_o perfect_a love_n which_o he_o have_v by_o creation_n and_o by_o which_o he_o resemble_v god_n who_o be_v love_n
