the_o plant_v whereof_o in_o our_o soul_n be_v that_o which_o the_o scripture_n call_v the_o new_a creature_n and_o the_o be_v make_v after_o the_o image_n of_o god_n to_o which_o we_o may_v subjoin_v that_o our_o saviour_n pronounce_v charity_n out_o of_o a_o pure_a heart_n to_o be_v the_o root_n of_o all_o moral_a duty_n and_o to_o be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n which_o he_o prefer_v above_o the_o high_a and_o most_o mysterious_a scheme_n of_o opinion_n when_o he_o assert_v it_o to_o be_v the_o perpetual_a quality_n of_o good_a man_n in_o the_o other_o world_n and_o the_o distinguish_a mark_n of_o his_o disciple_n in_o this_o for_o second_o it_o recommend_v man_n to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n by_o do_v such_o service_n as_o be_v most_o acceptable_a to_o he_o who_o have_v say_v that_o he_o be_v better_a please_v with_o mercy_n than_o sacrifice_n that_o be_v all_o ritual_a duty_n such_o as_o sacrifice_n be_v must_v give_v place_n to_o moral_a as_o be_v most_o value_v by_o god_n now_o moral_a duty_n may_v be_v reduce_v to_o two_o head_n the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o of_o our_o neighbour_n these_o be_v command_v for_o their_o intrinsic_a excellency_n and_o

these_o the_o chief_a be_v to_o do_v good_a to_o man_n to_o assist_v they_o in_o their_o misery_n and_o as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v to_o reclaim_v they_o from_o the_o error_n of_o their_o way_n these_o duty_n lie_v at_o the_o bottom_n of_o all_o religion_n be_v weave_v into_o the_o essence_n of_o it_o and_o do_v natural_o bind_v we_o without_o any_o particular_a revelation_n from_o god_n for_o all_o revelation_n from_o he_o suppose_v we_o to_o be_v man_n and_o consider_v the_o relation_n we_o bear_v to_o each_o other_o therefore_o when_o christ_n be_v ask_v what_o be_v the_o first_o

but_o he_o overlook_v they_o all_o and_o urge_v these_o only_a as_o the_o great_a duty_n of_o the_o law_n upon_o which_o that_o and_o the_o prophet_n do_v depend_v whereas_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n of_o the_o jew_n be_v to_o pass_v away_o and_o do_v so_o not_o long_o after_o but_o the_o law_n of_o righteousness_n be_v to_o be_v unchangeable_a and_o consist_v in_o the_o observation_n of_o such_o
