towards_o god_n or_o man_n be_v either_o want_n of_o love_n or_o such_o as_o proceed_v from_o the_o want_n of_o love_n now_o in_o that_o christ_n do_v so_o high_o extol_v these_o two_o commandment_n which_o comprehend_v the_o substance_n of_o the_o law_n he_o establish_v the_o law_n as_o a_o rule_n of_o obedience_n for_o his_o people_n second_o in_o this_o speech_n he_o have_v respect_n not_o only_o to_o the_o ten_o commandment_n deliver_v exod._n 20._o but_o also_o to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o prophet_n throughout_o the_o old_a testament_n say_v on_o these_o two_o etc._n etc._n the_o

of_o obedience_n to_o his_o people_n again_o how_o frequent_o do_v the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n in_o his_o apostle_n establish_v the_o law_n as_o a_o rule_n of_o obedience_n for_o his_o people_n
