and_o this_o duty_n of_o not_o wrong_v other_o be_v very_o much_o improve_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o our_o saviour_n have_v there_o advance_v it_o to_o a_o high_a pitch_n than_o it_o be_v before_o for_o he_o be_v there_o so_o far_o from_o give_v we_o leave_n to_o do_v the_o least_o wrong_n to_o other_o that_o he_o have_v strict_o command_v we_o to_o be_v kind_a to_o our_o very_a

least_o harm_n to_o they_o and_o we_o may_v observe_v that_o most_o of_o the_o precept_n deliver_v by_o he_o in_o his_o famous_a sermon_n upon_o the_o mount_n be_v such_o as_o put_v we_o upon_o a_o severe_a honest_a course_n of_o life_n and_o leave_v no_o room_n at_o all_o for_o any_o kind_n of_o crooked_a and_o deceitful_a dealing_n among_o we_o so_o that_o now_o under_o the_o gospel_n it_o be_v more_o especial_o our_o duty_n to_o be_v of_o a_o innocent_a and_o harmless_a conversation_n to_o live_v without_o guile_n and_o deceit_n in_o the_o world_n and_o to_o keep_v our_o hand_n pure_a and_o clear_a from_o violence_n and_o wrong_a and_o from_o all_o manner_n of_o unjust_a deal_n the_o ancient_a christian_n that_o live_v in_o the_o first_o age_n of_o the_o church_n think_v themselves_o strict_o oblige_v by_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n to_o do_v so_o as_o plain_o appear_v by_o that_o well_o know_v and_o that_o often_o cite_a account_n which_o pliny_n give_v of_o they_o in_o a_o letter_n to_o trajan_n the_o emperor_n when_o he_o have_v begin_v a_o persecution_n against_o they_o for_o in_o his_o letter_n to_o that_o heathen_a emperor_n he_o tell_v he_o that_o all_o that_o can_v be_v prove_v against_o his_o christian_n be_v only_o this_o that_o they_o use_v at_o set_a time_n to_o meet_v together_o early_o in_o the_o morning_n before_o day_n to_o worship_n

thus_o careful_o be_v they_o to_o abstain_v from_o the_o very_a appearance_n of_o do_v any_o wrong_n so_o that_o the_o heathen_n themselves_o who_o watch_v for_o their_o halt_n can_v find_v no_o other_o fault_n with_o they_o nor_o charge_v any_o other_o crime_n upon_o they_o but_o only_o this_o that_o they_o be_v christian_n and_o though_o the_o christian_n of_o our_o day_n to_o their_o

the_o royal_a law_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o which_o be_v peculiarly_a his_o commandment_n it_o be_v indeed_o a_o old_a commandment_n as_o old_a as_o the_o law_n of_o moses_n nay_o as_o old_a as_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n itself_o for_o long_o before_o moses_n make_v it_o write_a law_n god_n himself_o have_v make_v it_o a_o branch_n of_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n within_o we_o but_o our_o

new_a commandment_n and_o indeed_o this_o commandment_n of_o love_v our_o brethren_n he_o do_v every_o where_n in_o the_o gospel_n so_o strict_o enjoin_v we_o so_o earnest_o recommend_v to_o we_o and_o so_o vehement_o press_v upon_o we_o as_o if_o he_o almost_o require_v nothing_o else_o of_o we_o in_o comparison_n of_o this_o and_o if_o it_o be_v thus_o strict_o and_o indispensable_o require_v of_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v love_v other_o then_o to_o be_v sure_a we_o must_v not_o any_o way_n wrong_v they_o or_o be_v injurious_a to_o they_o for_o how_o can_v the_o do_v of_o any_o wrong_n to_o they_o be_v any_o way_n consistent_a with_o our_o love_a of_o they_o this_o will_v certain_o be_v but_o a_o very_a cross_n and_o untoward_a way_n of_o show_v that_o kindness_n and_o

in_o any_o thing_n deal_v injurious_o with_o they_o because_o that_o it_o be_v not_o only_o require_v of_o we_o that_o we_o shall_v love_v other_o but_o also_o that_o we_o shall_v love_v they_o as_o ourselves_o indeed_o that_o know_a precept_n thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o respect_v rather_o the_o quality_n than_o the_o quantity_n of_o our_o love_n towards_o other_o and_o do_v not_o command_v a_o parity_n but_o a_o likeness_n of_o it_o for_o we_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o love_v other_o equal_o or_o so_o much_o as_o ourselves_o but_o with_o the_o like_a manner_n and_o kind_n of_o love_n that_o we_o do_v ourselves_o our_o love_n then_o to_o other_o like_o the_o love_n to_o ourselves_o must_v not_o be_v false_a and_o feign_v and_o hypocritical_a but_o true_a and_o real_a and_o without_o all_o manner_n of_o dissimulation_n now_o if_o we_o be_v command_v to_o proceed_v so_o far_o in_o our_o kindness_n and_o good_a will_n and_o affection_n towards_o other_o as_o to_o love_v they_o as_o true_o and_o sincere_o as_o we_o do_v ourselves_o than_o it_o be_v pass_v all_o doubt_n that_o we_o must_v not_o do_v any_o manner_n of_o wrong_n to_o they_o for_o there_o be_v none_o of_o we_o that_o love_n ourselves_o so_o little_a as_o to_o be_v willing_a that_o any_o kind_n of_o hurt_n or_o injury_n shall_v be_v do_v to_o we_o but_o now_o 5._o to_o make_v use_n of_o the_o apostle_n dreadful_a argument_n to_o enforce_v this_o duty_n and_o set_v it_o full_o home_o upon_o you_o we_o must_v not_o do_v any_o manner_n of_o wrong_n to_o other_o nor_o in_o any_o matter_n
