of_o god_n it_o be_v the_o breach_n of_o god_n law_n that_o at_o the_o first_o bring_v enmity_n into_o the_o world_n and_o a_o due_a observe_v god_n law_n be_v a_o excellent_a mean_n to_o root_v it_o

if_o that_o be_v too_o little_a he_o add_v with_o all_o the_o mind_n 2._o he_o set_v it_o forth_o in_o its_o excellency_n this_o be_v the_o great_a commandment_n and_o then_o which_o be_v much_o to_o

and_o therefore_o to_o be_v measure_v by_o our_o love_n to_o ourselves_o which_o love_n be_v that_o most_o excellent_a jewel_n i_o be_o press_v you_o to_o get_v every_o one_o in_o his_o own_o heart_n that_o we_o may_v all_o have_v it_o in_o obedience_n to_o this_o great_a command_n all_o over_o the_o nation_n viz._n to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o which_o duty_n be_v so_o much_o

cold_a not_o regard_v this_o great_a command_n love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o yea_o some_o be_v like_o the_o lawyer_n speak_v of_o luke_n 11.46_o who_o christ_n say_v lade_v man_n with_o burden_n grievous_a to_o be_v bear_v and_o touch_v they_o not_o themselves_o with_o one_o of_o their_o finger_n some_o also_o belie_v reproach_n and_o false_o accuse_v other_o when_o they_o will_v not_o themselves_o bear_v the_o least_o injury_n from_o any_o man_n all_o these_o and_o many_o other_o do_v live_v in_o disobedience_n to_o this_o great_a command_n love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o which_o be_v it_o observe_v will_v in_o its_o fruit_n and_o effect_n make_v much_o for_o the_o comfort_n and_o well_o be_v of_o the_o whole_a nation_n for_o every_o one_o in_o the_o nation_n love_v other_o as_o themselves_o they_o will_v seek_v as_o much_o for_o the_o comfort_n prosperity_n and_o well_o be_v of_o other_o as_o for_o their_o own_o this_o will_v prevent_v therefore_o all_o the_o wrong_v defraud_v and_o cheat_v each_o other_o that_o be_v too_o much_o use_v now_o a_o day_n this_o will_v prevent_v also_o all_o the_o reproach_v and_o revile_v each_o other_o this_o will_v also_o prevent_v all_o the_o betray_n and_o seek_v to_o kill_v one_o another_o nay_o be_v this_o observe_v in_o all_o place_n it_o will_v prevent_v all_o the_o oppression_n and_o cruelty_n that_o be_v use_v in_o some_o part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o this_o will_v cause_v all_o person_n to_o be_v careful_a not_o to_o grieve_v each_o other_o as_o they_o will_v have_v other_o be_v careful_a not_o to_o grieve_v they_o they_o will_v also_o pity_v and_o comfort_n all_o that_o be_v in_o affliction_n as_o they_o will_v be_v pity_v and_o comfort_v if_o it_o be_v their_o own_o case_n these_o be_v the_o excellent_a effect_n of_o have_v respect_n to_o the_o law_n of_o god_n in_o this_o matter_n second_o if_o we_o will_v enjoy_v this_o precious_a jewel_n to_o make_v the_o nation_n happy_a we_o must_v put_v on_o humility_n colos_n 3.12_o put_v on_o therefore_o bowel_n of_o mercy_n kindness_n humbleness_n of_o mind_n see_v how_o the_o apostle_n here_o join_v these_o grace_n together_o as_o if_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o mercy_n and_o kindness_n to_o be_v in_o any_o person_n without_o humility_n proud_a person_n be_v full_a of_o wrath_n and_o revenge_n if_o they_o do_v but_o think_v themselves_o the_o least_o injure_v it_o quick_o remove_v their_o love_n but_o where_o humility_n be_v in_o the_o heart_n it_o be_v not_o easy_o move_v they_o that_o be_v too_o much_o lift_v up_o in_o themselves_o by_o pride_n beyond_o what_o they_o ought_v do_v general_o too_o much_o undervalue_v other_o beyond_o what_o they_o ought_v hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o subject_n have_v sometime_o undervalue_v their_o ruler_n insomuch_o that_o they_o have_v presume_v not_o only_o to_o speak_v against_o they_o without_o cause_n but_o also_o to_o act_v against_o they_o sometime_o to_o the_o great-disturbance_n of_o the_o nation_n where_o they_o dwell_v as_o sad_a experience_n have_v show_v hence_o also_o it_o have_v sometime_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o ruler_n in_o some_o country_n have_v too_o little_o value_v the_o life_n of_o their_o subject_n be_v over_o persuade_v thereto_o by_o some_o proud_a person_n or_o pride_n in_o themselves_o as_o may_v be_v prove_v at_o large_a but_o i_o shall_v instance_n but_o two_o what_o a_o dreadful_a slaughter_n have_v king_n ahashuerus_n make_v in_o his_o kingdom_n have_v not_o god_n prevent_v it_o when_o he_o send_v forth_o to_o destroy_v in_o one_o day_n all_o the_o jew_n both_o young_a and_o old_a little_a child_n and_o woman_n he_o be_v counsel_v and_o move_v thereto_o by_o proud_a haman_n as_o be_v record_v esth_n 3._o do_v but_o consider_v also_o how_o low_a benhadad_n king_n of_o syria_n value_v his_o subject_n 1_o king_n 2.20_o when_o he_o can_v not_o have_v his_o proud_a humour_n satisfy_v by_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n he_o threaten_v he_o will_v cause_v more_o man_n to_o follow_v he_o to_o battle_n than_o shall_v be_v sufficient_a to_o take_v up_o the_o dust_n of_o samaria_n in_o their_o hand_n these_o be_v that_o sad_a effect_n of_o pride_n in_o opposition_n to_o true_a love_n therefore_o humility_n be_v very_o useful_a for_o all_o person_n in_o the_o case_n we_o be_v speak_v of_o namely_o in_o order_n for_o all_o person_n to_o love_v other_o as_o themselves_o and_o to_o seek_v the_o good_a of_o each_o other_o as_o their_o own_o and_o so_o to_o make_v the_o nation_n true_o happy_a three_o as_o a_o further_a direction_n in_o this_o case_n let_v we_o every_o one_o enter_v into_o a_o deep_a sense_n and_o consideration_n 1._o of_o the_o great_a worth_n and_o excellency_n of_o this_o

the_o contrary_n 2._o consider_v that_o so_o long_o as_o any_o person_n be_v live_v in_o the_o world_n without_o this_o true_a and_o real_a love_n to_o his_o fellow_n creature_n he_o be_v live_v in_o the_o breach_n of_o one_o of_o the_o
