their_o action_n and_o opinion_n flow_v nay_o i_o be_o very_o persuade_v that_o many_o time_n the_o religion_n of_o man_n at_o least_o their_o way_n of_o exercise_v of_o it_o do_v very_o much_o

for_o not_o act_v or_o think_v just_a as_o we_o do_v be_v as_o unreasonable_a as_o if_o we_o shall_v quarrel_v with_o every_o man_n that_o be_v not_o of_o the_o same_o age_n and_o complexion_n with_o

we_o may_v do_v more_o good_a than_o by_o all_o the_o violence_n we_o can_v use_v since_o a_o gentle_a persuasion_n accompany_v with_o kindness_n will_v reach_v far_o than_o the_o strong_a argument_n

therefore_o for_o the_o help_n of_o our_o memory_n and_o the_o information_n of_o our_o understanding_n he_o epitomize_v the_o whole_a moral_a law_n and_o reduce_v it_o to_o this_o one_o duty_n of_o

namely_o thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o and_o lest_o this_o too_o shall_v be_v mistake_v he_o explain_v it_o by_o that_o which_o be_v absolute_o the_o most_o natural_a and_o

can_v tell_v how_o he_o will_v have_v other_o deal_v by_o he_o at_o all_o time_n therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o lay_v aside_o the_o bias_n of_o self-love_n and_o interest_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o our_o passion_n and_o put_v ourselves_o in_o the_o same_o condition_n with_o other_o man_n and_o then_o judge_v if_o we_o will_v be_v so_o deal_v withal_o ourselves_o as_o we_o now_o deal_v by_o

easy_o reconcile_v at_o leastwife_n we_o shall_v be_v more_o moderate_a in_o our_o censure_n and_o less_o violent_a in_o our_o action_n it_o be_v for_o the_o sake_n of_o this_o excellent_a precept_n that_o severus_n the_o emperor_n do_v much_o reverence_n our_o saviour_n &_o christianity_n itself_o and_o endeavour_v as_o much_o as_o he_o can_v to_o reduce_v it_o into_o his_o own_o practice_n and_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o it_o favour_v the_o christian_n to_o who_o at_o first_o he_o be_v somewhat_o harsh_a and_o rigid_a nay_o and_o have_v build_v a_o temple_n for_o they_o if_o ulpian_n the_o lawyer_n and_o some_o other_o for_o some_o reason_n of_o state_n have_v not_o divert_v he_o from_o it_o let_v not_o we_o then_o by_o the_o violation_n of_o it_o disturb_v our_o own_o peace_n

such_o excellent_a council_n and_o advice_n especial_o too_o since_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o this_o life_n and_o our_o hope_n of_o happiness_n in_o another_o do_v so_o necessary_o depend_v upon_o it_o

then_o see_v here_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n in_o general_n it_o require_v nothing_o at_o our_o hand_n but_o what_o tend_v to_o the_o improve_n of_o our_o nature_n into_o a_o absolute_a perfection_n all_o its_o law_n be_v wholesome_a and_o good_a and_o such_o as_o a_o wise_a man_n will_v choose_v to_o be_v guide_v by_o deut._n 4.6_o moses_n tell_v the_o child_n of_o

our_o interest_n and_o advantage_n tend_v all_o along_o to_o the_o perfect_a quiet_a and_o settlement_n of_o our_o mind_n here_o and_o to_o our_o everlasting_a happiness_n and_o peace_n hereafter_o and_o as_o for_o that_o peculiar_a law_n of_o christianity_n which_o forbid_v revenge_n and_o command_v we_o to_o love_v our_o enemy_n and_o to_o forgive_v injury_n though_o it_o may_v seem_v harsh_a and_o grievous_a at_o the_o first_o yet_o no_o man_n can_v think_v it_o so_o that_o compare_v the_o restless_a torment_n and_o continual_a slavery_n of_o a_o malicious_a and_o revengeful_a spirit_n with_o the_o delight_n and_o sweetness_n of_o love_n and_o the_o glorious_a victory_n of_o overcome_v evil_a with_o good_a whereby_o a_o man_n conquer_v both_o his_o enemy_n and_o himself_o 2._o see_v

in_o the_o world_n as_o appear_v from_o the_o parable_n of_o the_o man_n that_o fall_v among_o thief_n whereby_o not_o only_o our_o kindred_n and_o acquaintance_n but_o even_o stranger_n and_o our_o very_a enemy_n too_o be_v bring_v into_o that_o relation_n upon_o which_o account_n this_o become_v as_o necessary_a a_o duty_n as_o it_o be_v a_o excellent_a grace_n and_o commend_v we_o unto_o god_n beyond_o all_o other_o duty_n of_o religion_n nay_o it_o be_v that_o which_o give_v be_v to_o religion_n itself_o and_o be_v the_o very_a life_n and_o soul_n of_o all_o true_a devotion_n for_o indeed_o what_o be_v christianity_n itself_o but_o the_o high_a demonstration_n of_o the_o great_a love_n that_o ever_o be_v and_o why_o be_v it_o so_o clear_o reveal_v unto_o we_o but_o only_o to_o excite_v we_o to_o the_o like_a practice_n one_o towards_o another_o and_o therefore_o at_o the_o last_o day_n this_o be_v the_o main_a thing_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v accountable_a for_o so_o that_o if_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n more_o necessary_a than_o other_o in_o order_n to_o the_o obtain_n of_o everlasting_a salvation_n it_o must_v certain_o be_v this_o hatred_n and_o malice_n be_v of_o all_o other_o thing_n the_o most_o odious_a in_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n as_o be_v so_o direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o daily_a method_n of_o his_o providence_n yea_o to_o his_o very_a nature_n and_o command_n tear_v in_o piece_n not_o only_o his_o seamless_a coat_n but_o his_o body_n and_o render_v frustrate_v the_o very_a expense_n of_o his_o blood_n in_o so_o much_o that_o he_o will_v soon_o

earnest_a endeavour_n after_o holiness_n all_o which_o if_o they_o be_v but_o lay_v to_o heart_n and_o practise_v will_v certain_o restore_v our_o peace_n as_o at_o the_o first_o and_o our_o prosperity_n as_o at_o the_o beginning_n 1._o bear_v with_o one_o another_o infirmity_n though_o it_o be_v the_o design_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n to_o make_v we_o holy_a than_o other_o and_o to_o improve_v our_o mind_n and_o practice_n beyond_o the_o common_a rate_n of_o man_n yet_o it_o be_v never_o intend_v to_o make_v we_o therefore_o keep_v our_o distance_n and_o to_o stand_v off_o
