to_o the_o ground_n and_o reason_n of_o the_o point_n reason_n 1_o first_o we_o ought_v to_o rise_v to_o the_o high_a in_o our_o expression_n of_o love_n to_o the_o brethren_n in_o christ_n when_o

the_o necessity_n of_o our_o fellow-beleever_n call_v for_o it_o we_o ought_v say_v the_o holy-ghost_n in_o the_o word_n of_o the_o text_n to_o lay_v down_o our_o life_n for_o the_o brethren_n now_o the_o lay_n down_o of_o our_o life_n we_o know_v be_v a_o expression_n of_o love_n that_o go_v very_o far_o and_o reach_v very_o high_a so_o then_o if_o we_o acknowledge_v a_o lawful_a authority_n and_o sovereignty_n of_o heaven_n over_o we_o in_o other_o thing_n and_o all_o thing_n meet_v and_o fit_a to_o be_v do_v every_o thing_n to_o be_v just_a matter_n of_o duty_n that_o god_n require_v we_o there_o be_v no_o withstand_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o doctrine_n which_o require_v the_o deep_a and_o weighty_a expression_n of_o our_o love_n to_o our_o brethren_n in_o christ_n when_o they_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o they_o reason_n 2_o second_o because_o god_n do_v not_o only_o require_v this_o at_o our_o hand_n but_o he_o have_v himself_o begin_v unto_o we_o in_o the_o high_a and_o deep_a expression_n of_o his_o love_n unto_o we_o he_o have_v provoke_v and_o engage_v we_o hereunto_o not_o so_o much_o by_o his_o own_o example_n as_o by_o the_o choice_n of_o his_o subject_n upon_o who_o he_o be_v please_v to_o exemplify_v this_o exceed_a love_n of_o he_o in_o the_o high_a demonstration_n of_o it_o viz._n ourselves_o so_o god_n love_v the_o world_n i._n the_o inhabitant_n of_o the_o world_n man_n that_o he_o give_v he_o only_o beget_v son_n as_o john_n 3._o 16._o if_o god_n have_v show_v the_o same_o love_n unto_o the_o lapse_a angel_n which_o he_o have_v do_v unto_o man_n if_o he_o have_v lift_v up_o the_o like_a horn_n of_o salvation_n for_o they_o there_o have_v be_v the_o like_a example_n but_o there_o have_v not_o be_v the_o like_a engagement_n or_o provocation_n unto_o we_o to_o rise_v to_o those_o height_n of_o show_v love_n likewise_o where_o he_o shall_v appoint_v as_o now_o there_o be_v as_o the_o example_n of_o love_n which_o he_o have_v now_o show_v to_o man_n be_v not_o any_o such_o obligement_n upon_o the_o reprobate_a angel_n to_o show_v love_v anywhere_o as_o it_o will_v have_v be_v have_v themselves_o be_v the_o object_n of_o this_o love_n of_o he_o reason_n 3_o three_o like_o father_n like_o son_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o have_v walk_v in_o the_o step_n of_o his_o father_n love_n and_o have_v go_v as_o high_a in_o the_o declaration_n and_o expression_n of_o his_o love_n as_o the_o father_n have_v do_v in_o he_o he_o have_v give_v himself_o and_o offer_v up_o himself_o in_o sacrifice_n upon_o the_o service_n of_o the_o peace_n and_o happiness_n of_o a_o most_o miserable_a woeful_a and_o sinful_a world_n for_o we_o must_v not_o look_v upon_o the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n simple_o as_o the_o ransom_n and_o atonement_n of_o the_o world_n nor_o as_o the_o gift_n of_o the_o father_n only_o unto_o the_o world_n for_o the_o ransom_n of_o it_o for_o than_o we_o shall_v fall_v short_a in_o our_o reckon_n but_o further_o as_o the_o free_a and_o glorious_a testimony_n and_o pledge_n of_o the_o unspeakable_a and_o unconceivable_a love_n of_o christ_n himself_o unto_o the_o world_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v very_o careful_a to_o vindicate_v the_o honour_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o love_n of_o jesus_n christ_n himself_o in_o his_o death_n and_o so_o to_o recommend_v and_o set_v forth_o the_o love_n of_o god_n the_o father_n in_o give_v his_o son_n unto_o the_o world_n that_o he_o may_v not_o drown_v or_o quench_v or_o prejudice_n in_o the_o least_o measure_n the_o glory_n of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n himself_o herein_o here_o in_o perceive_v we_o love_v those_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o in_o the_o former_a translation_n neither_o be_v they_o find_v in_o the_o best_a greek_a copy_n that_o he_o i_o e._n christ_n have_v lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o we_o in_o the_o word_n immediate_o before_o the_o 18_o text_n beside_o many_o like_o expression_n whereby_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o death_n and_o suffering_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o of_o constraint_n or_o necessity_n as_o the_o typical_a sacrifice_n of_o beast_n under_o the_o law_n be_v who_o have_v no_o inward_a
