of_o god_n in_o all_o the_o city_n of_o man_n where_o ever_o it_o have_v a_o open_a channel_n and_o a_o free_a course_n by_o what_o have_v be_v say_v belove_v you_o may_v perceive_v what_o my_o work_n the_o lord_n assist_v be_v like_a to_o be_v in_o handle_v this_o scripture_n namely_o to_o discover_v to_o you_o that_o love_n or_o charity_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o commandment_n and_o chief_o indeed_o to_o discover_v to_o you_o those_o bless_a spring_n a_o pure_a heart_n a_o good_a conscience_n and_o faith_n unfeigned_a out_o of_o which_o that_o charity_n flow_v and_o by_o which_o

be_v this_o doct._n those_o work_n of_o love_n of_o love_n to_o man_n much_o more_o of_o love_n to_o god_n which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o commandment_n must_v flow_v from_o a_o good_a spring_n from_o a_o gracious_a principle_n or_o a_o principle_n of_o grace_n this_o point_n be_v very_o plain_a in_o the_o text_n plain_o collect_v from_o it_o for_o say_v the_o apostle_n love_v out_o of_o a_o pure_a heart_n and_o the_o like_a now_o that_o pure_a heart_n i_o shall_v show_v clear_o afterward_o if_o the_o lord_n bring_v i_o to_o it_o that_o the_o pure_a heart_n be_v a_o gracious_a heart_n so_o that_o the_o love_n must_v flow_v from_o a_o principle_n of_o grace_n there_o be_v three_o thing_n especial_o in_o which_o the_o completion_n the_o full_a constitution_n and_o make_v up_o of_o

of_o he_o that_o do_v it_o for_o to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a we_o not_o know_v and_o understand_v it_o to_o be_v good_a or_o not_o be_v persuade_v that_o it_o be_v good_a that_o action_n be_v not_o good_a to_o we_o yea_o the_o apostle_n tell_v you_o it_o be_v sin_n whatsoever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n and_o there_o he_o speak_v not_o of_o justify_v faith_n but_o of_o persuade_v faith_n what_o ever_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n be_v sin_n and_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o one_o that_o be_v in_o a_o justify_v state_n or_o one_o that_o have_v justify_v faith_n yet_o not_o to_o do_v a_o thing_n with_o a_o persuade_a faith_n and_o so_o it_o may_v be_v sin_n to_o he_o that_o be_v one_o thing_n second_o the_o aim_n or_o the_o end_n of_o the_o work_n must_v be_v good_a and_o among_o all_o end_n that_o be_v good_a the_o chief_a and_o that_o which_o can_v never_o be_v leave_v out_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o god_n matth._n 5._o 16._o let_v your_o light_n so_o shine_v before_o man_n

else_o though_o the_o matter_n be_v never_o so_o good_a the_o work_n be_v not_o good_a three_o which_o be_v the_o matter_n in_o hand_n the_o principle_n or_o spring_n of_o the_o work_n must_v be_v

of_o a_o right_a principle_n and_o this_o be_v it_o which_o the_o text_n and_o doctrine_n speak_v unless_o the_o principle_n be_v good_a the_o work_n be_v not_o good_a as_o the_o fountain_n be_v such_o be_v the_o stream_n that_o come_v from_o it_o as_o the_o tree_n be_v such_o be_v the_o fruit_n that_o grow_v upon_o it_o do_v man_n gather_v grape_n of_o thorn_n or_o fig_n of_o thistle_n

they_o can_v speak_v to_o the_o purpose_n full_o now_o as_o they_o that_o be_v evil_a can_v speak_v so_o neither_o can_v they_o do_v good_a thing_n answerable_a to_o the_o rule_n or_o please_v unto_o

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

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

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
