upon_o that_o let_v i_o take_v up_o a_o second_o use_n by_o way_n of_o lamentation_n if_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n then_o it_o be_v to_o be_v lament_a that_o the_o religious_a duty_n and_o charitable_a

among_o the_o heathen_n for_o love_n yea_o i_o may_v say_v they_o worship_v god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n with_o a_o devotion_n no_o more_o raise_v and_o spiritual_a than_o the_o old_a roman_n do_v worship_v their_o jupiter_n or_o the_o ephesian_n their_o great_a goddess_n diana_n and_o sure_o this_o be_v to_o be_v lament_a that_o christian_a act_n shall_v be_v do_v and_o not_o from_o a_o principle_n spiritual_a or_o not_o from_o a_o christian_a principle_n it_o be_v very_o possible_a and_o very_o ordinary_a to_o follow_v christ_n yea_o to_o call_v upon_o christ_n mere_o with_o human_a

verse_n 34._o may_v well_o be_v judge_v to_o come_v mere_o from_o a_o carnal_a spirit_n when_o christ_n have_v discourse_n of_o the_o bread_n that_o come_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o give_v life_n into_o the_o world_n say_v they_o lord_n evermore_o give_v we_o of_o this_o bread_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v but_o from_o a_o carnal_a desire_n not_o know_v what_o that_o bread_n mean_v spiritual_o and_o it_o appear_v clear_o to_o be_v so_o for_o in_o the_o close_a of_o the_o chapter_n many_o of_o his_o hearer_n go_v quite_o away_o they_o forsake_v he_o now_o certain_o to_o do_v these_o excellent_a thing_n and_o to_o do_v they_o but_o with_o carnal_a principle_n this_o be_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v lament_a solomon_n do_v report_v it_o as_o a_o thing_n to_o be_v lament_v that_o often_o in_o this_o world_n it_o be_v do_v to_o good_a man_n according_a to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o wicked_a and_o it_o be_v do_v to_o wicked_a man_n according_a to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o righteous_a eccles_n 8._o 14._o this_o be_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v lament_v but_o i_o now_o shall_v show_v you_o two_o sight_n more_o much_o more_o to_o be_v lament_v first_o it_o be_v a_o very_a lamentable_a thing_n to_o see_v good_a man_n do_v according_a to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o wicked_a thus_o do_v david_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o uriah_n 2_o sam._n 11._o thus_o do_v solomon_n when_o his_o heart_n go_v after_o strange_a god_n and_o he_o build_v high_a place_n to_o their_o abomination_n 1_o king_n 11._o 4_o 5._o thus_o do_v asa_n a_o good_a king_n when_o he_o imprison_v the_o prophet_n and_o in_o his_o disease_n seek_v to_o the_o physician_n and_o not_o to_o god_n 2_o chron._n 16._o 10_o 12._o yea_o thus_o do_v st._n peter_n that_o holy_a apostle_n when_o he_o deny_v yea_o forswear_v his_o master_n in_o matth._n 26._o 72_o 74._o and_o thus_o have_v many_o other_o godly_a man_n do_v under_o the_o pressure_n of_o temptation_n and_o corruption_n and_o be_v not_o this_o a_o sad_a sight_n to_o see_v one_o profess_v godliliness_n yea_o one_o that_o be_v real_o godly_a act_n thus_o like_o a_o wicked_a man_n this_o be_v to_o act_v as_o i_o have_v sometime_o express_v it_o the_o old_a creature_n part_n in_o the_o new_a creature_n state_n this_o be_v a_o very_a sad_a thing_n ay_o but_o now_o i_o have_v another_o sight_n to_o show_v you_o according_a to_o the_o tenure_n of_o this_o text_n and_o doctrine_n which_o be_v very_o sad_a also_o and_o what_o be_v that_o why_o to_o see_v bad_a man_n do_v according_a to_o the_o work_n of_o good_a man_n still_o continue_v in_o their_o bad_a state_n they_o plod_v on_o and_o go_v on_o do_v good_a thing_n but_o never_o mind_n to_o become_v good_a themselves_o and_o so_o bad_a man_n do_v according_a to_o the_o work_n of_o the_o righteous_a i_o say_v this_o be_v a_o sad_a sight_n and_o thus_o do_v saul_n when_o he_o be_v among_o the_o prophet_n there_o be_v a_o

at_o and_o in_o that_o sense_n it_o be_v well_o say_v that_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o end_n be_v endless_a that_o be_v man_n infinitus_fw-la appetitus_fw-la finis_fw-la est_fw-la infinitus_fw-la

of_o the_o law_n he_o have_v bring_v the_o law_n to_o its_o end_n what_o end_n why_o to_o its_o accomplishment_n to_o its_o fulfil_n so_o that_o we_o be_v not_o to_o seek_v for_o righteousness_n by_o the_o law_n for_o our_o justification_n for_o christ_n have_v make_v a_o end_n of_o the_o law_n or_o accomplish_v the_o law_n as_o to_o that_o point_n for_o righteousness_n christ_n have_v fulfil_v the_o law_n both_o in_o do_v the_o precept_n of_o it_o and_o he_o have_v fulfil_v the_o law_n by_o endure_v the_o penalty_n of_o it_o and_o so_o he_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n the_o fulfil_a

so_o he_o have_v fulfil_v the_o whole_a law_n and_o indeed_o christ_n have_v do_v so_o in_o his_o own_o person_n have_v be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n in_o his_o obedience_n both_o active_a and_o

in_o the_o text_n the_o word_n end_n when_o it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o end_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v charity_n the_o word_n end_n be_v to_o be_v take_v in_o the_o two_o latter_a sense_n first_o charity_n be_v that_o which_o the_o law_n alm_n at_o it_o be_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o law_n to_o bring_v we_o into_o a_o love_n one_o to_o another_o and_o that_o we_o may_v walk_v in_o love_n that_o be_v the_o business_n of_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n the_o aim_n the_o scope_n of_o they_o and_o then_o second_o charity_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o law_n that_o be_v it_o be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v the_o accomplish_n end_n of_o the_o law_n the_o law_n be_v fulfil_v in_o love_n take_v it_o in_o two_o scripture_n rom._n 13._o 10._o love_n be_v the_o

indeed_o what_o be_v that_o one_o word_n by_o which_o the_o whole_a law_n be_v fulfil_v it_o be_v fulfil_v in_o one_o word_n even_o in_o this_o thou_o shall_v love_v they_o neighbour_n as_o they_o self_n to_o they_o the_o end_n here_o be_v to_o be_v take_v in_o that_o sense_n charity_n it_o be_v the_o accomplish_n it_o be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n three_o one_o step_n far_o what_o be_v that_o charity_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o commandment_n both_o the_o final_a end_n and_o the_o fulfil_a end_n of_o it_o what_o be_v this_o charity_n charity_n be_v take_v two_o way_n in_o scripture_n 1._o more_o strict_o as_o it_o consist_v in_o the_o relieve_n of_o those_o that_o be_v poor_a and_o in_o the_o comfort_v of_o those_o that_o be_v sorrowful_a this_o be_v charity_n to_o

this_o text_n the_o end_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v love_n for_o charity_n be_v a_o word_n of_o a_o narrow_a sense_n than_o love_n be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v love_n and_o the_o

indeed_o the_o charity_n or_o love_n here_o intend_v in_o the_o scripture_n a._n i_o answer_v first_o i_o conceive_v the_o love_n here_o intend_v be_v not_o love_v to_o god_n though_o that_o be_v love_n above_o all_o thing_n and_o the_o most_o excellent_a end_n of_o the_o commandment_n yet_o i_o conceive_v in_o this_o place_n it_o be_v charity_n or_o love_n to_o man_n which_o be_v here_o mean_v and_o my_o reason_n be_v this_o why_o i_o restrain_v it_o here_o to_o the_o love_n of_o man_n because_o the_o apostle_n speak_v of_o charity_n in_o opposition_n to_o those_o fable_n and_o question_n which_o false_a teacher_n be_v like_a to_o raise_v up_o in_o the_o church_n the_o end_n of_o the_o commandment_n be_v charity_n that_o all_o may_v be_v peaceable_a and_o quiet_a among_o the_o brethren_n and_o he_o say_v at_o verse_n 7._o from_o which_o some_o have_v swerve_v from_o charity_n shoot_v quite_o beside_o it_o say_v he_o they_o be_v turn_v aside_o unto_o vain_a jangle_n so_o that_o if_o we_o consider_v either_o the_o antecedent_n of_o the_o text_n or_o the_o consequent_n it_o seem_v he_o confine_v charity_n or_o love_n here_o speak_v of_o to_o that_o love_n or_o charity_n which_o be_v among_o man_n among_o brethren_n that_o be_v one_o thing_n second_o charity_n here_o with_o respect_n to_o brethren_n be_v not_o that_o charity_n which_o do_v consist_v in_o open_v our_o hand_n to_o relieve_v the_o poor_a though_o that_o be_v a_o most_o excellent_a piece_n of_o charity_n and_o i_o pray_v remember_v it_o too_o pen_v your_o hand_n to_o the_o relieve_n of_o the_o poor_a yet_o i_o conceive_v that_o be_v not_o the_o charity_n here_o mean_v but_o the_o charity_n here_o mean_v be_v charity_n in_o the_o unite_n our_o heart_n and_o in_o the_o close_n of_o our_o affection_n one_o with_o another_o and_o then_o three_o the_o charity_n here_o intend_v or_o the_o love_n be_v not_o a_o lazy_a habit_n for_o one_o to_o say_v i_o have_v a_o love_n for_o god_n i_o and_o there_o it_o lie_v and_o do_v nothing_o i_o say_v the_o charity_n here_o intend_v be_v not_o a_o lazy_a habit_n but_o it_o be_v that_o which_o be_v put_v forth_o by_o vigorous_a and_o lively_a act_n and_o so_o some_o expound_v this_o text_n charity_n be_v to_o be_v take_v metonymical_o charity_n for_o all_o the_o office_n and_o duty_n of_o charity_n which_o we_o owe_v one_o to_o another_o 4_o last_o as_o it_o be_v a_o act_n and_o a_o active_a charity_n which_o be_v here_o speak_v of_o so_o it_o be_v not_o every_o kind_n of_o charity_n how_o vigorous_o soever_o act_v which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o commandment_n but_o it_o be_v the_o charity_n that_o flow_v out_o from_o and_o be_v feed_v by_o those_o three_o spring_n speak_v of_o in_o the_o close_a of_o the_o verse_n namely_o it_o be_v a_o charity_n flow_v out_o of_o a_o pure_a heart_n a_o good_a conscience_n and_o faith_n unfeigned_a i_o can_v stay_v now_o to_o discover_v those_o spring_n to_o you_o for_o that_o will_v take_v up_o too_o much_o of_o the_o time_n indeed_o it_o may_v take_v up_o all_o the_o time_n to_o make_v a_o little_a discovery_n of_o those_o spring_n all_o that_o i_o shall_v say_v at_o present_a be_v only_o this_o that_o the_o charity_n which_o issue_v out_o of_o these_o spring_n that_o be_v the_o charity_n in_o the_o text_n and_o that_o be_v the_o charity_n which_o be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o commandment_n so_o that_o here_o we_o have_v the_o genealogy_n as_o i_o may_v call_v it_o the_o pedigree_n the_o parentage_n of_o gospel_n charity_n or_o to_o keep_v to_o the_o

which_o be_v the_o favour_n of_o god_n to_o his_o people_n will_v make_v glad_a the_o city_n
