the_o commandment_n may_v have_v secm_v somewhat_o hard_a and_o the_o practice_n of_o it_o may_v have_v be_v stick_v at_o but_o now_o since_o he_o who_o have_v engage_v we_o to_o engage_v ourselves_o so_o deep_o in_o the_o behalf_n of_o other_o when_o they_o stand_v in_o need_n have_v engage_v they_o likewise_o to_o engage_v themselves_o proportionable_o for_o we_o when_o we_o stand_v in_o need_n obedience_n unto_o the_o commandment_n can_v but_o seem_v very_o equal_a and_o reasonable_a as_o well_o on_o our_o part_n in_o respect_n of_o other_o as_o upon_o other_o in_o respect_n of_o we_o the_o apostle_n take_v off_o the_o seem_a hardness_n or_o offensiveness_n of_o that_o demand_n which_o he_o make_v to_o the_o church_n of_o corinth_n for_o somewhat_o a_o large_a contribution_n then_o

their_o strength_n be_v it_o put_v forth_o according_o will_v serve_v they_o to_o go_v upright_o consider_v that_o one_o scripture_n to_o this_o purpose_n 1_o pet._n 1._o 22._o see_v you_o have_v

here_o two_o thing_n among_o many_o other_o be_v plain_o imply_v first_o that_o no_o man_n be_v able_a out_o of_o any_o natural_a principle_n to_o love_v the_o brethren_n that_o be_v the_o saint_n the_o heart_n must_v be_v purify_v through_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n together_o that_o be_v that_o base_a and_o drossy_a affection_n of_o inordinate_a self-klove_n must_v be_v purge_v away_o before_o a_o man_n be_v able_a to_o lift_v up_o his_o heart_n to_o such_o a_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a service_n as_o this_o second_o that_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n have_v obtain_v such_o a_o excellent_a principle_n as_o this_o a_o power_n of_o love_v the_o saint_n unfeigned_o through_o the_o purify_n of_o their_o heart_n be_v bind_v in_o a_o special_a manner_n to_o give_v out_o themselves_o full_o and_o free_o according_a to_o the_o nature_n strength_n and_o importance_n of_o this_o principle_n to_o express_v themselves_o in_o excellent_a term_n of_o love_n and_o respect_n unto_o they_o as_o their_o necessity_n shall_v require_v it_o this_o for_o the_o 7_o and_o last_o reason_n we_o address_v immediate_o to_o the_o use_n and_o application_n of_o the_o doctrine_n we_o shall_v be_v very_o brief_a in_o particular_n here_o by_o way_n of_o instruction_n in_o the_o first_o place_n we_o may_v instruction_n from_o the_o doctrine_n observe_v sundry_a particular_n as_o first_o that_o the_o mind_n and_o good_a pleasure_n of_o jesus_n christ_n concerning_o his_o saint_n and_o people_n on_o earth_n be_v that_o you_o shall_v be_v a_o society_n or_o body_n of_o man_n and_o woman_n in_o the_o world_n animate_v and_o quicken_v as_o it_o be_v move_v and_o act_v by_o a_o spirit_n of_o love_n as_o the_o life_n or_o soul_n of_o it_o that_o you_o shall_v abound_v in_o this_o affection_n above_o all_o other_o society_n of_o man_n whatsoever_o doubtless_o he_o that_o command_v we_o to_o lay_v down_o our_o life_n one_o for_o another_o command_v we_o also_o by_o a_o commandment_n involve_v and_o wrap_v up_o in_o this_o commandment_n to_o maintain_v a_o spirit_n of_o most_o ardent_a and_o burn_a affection_n towards_o one_o another_o a_o man_n can_v never_o be_v instruct_v or_o teach_v to_o die_v willing_o by_o any_o other_o teacher_n or_o teach_v whatsoever_o but_o by_o love_n yea_o and_o that_o such_o a_o love_n of_o such_o a_o conquer_a and_o command_a power_n that_o it_o must_v tread_v down_o the_o strength_n of_o a_o thousand_o love_n and_o desire_v beside_o yea_o and_o many_o of_o these_o of_o sovereign_a strength_n and_o power_n also_o to_o require_v a_o man_n to_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o the_o brethren_n out_o of_o any_o other_o ground_n or_o principle_n whatsoever_o than_o out_o of_o a_o affection_n of_o love_n to_o they_o and_o that_o transcendent_o glorious_a be_v in_o effect_n to_o bid_v he_o gather_v grape_n of_o thorn_n or_o fig_n of_o thistle_n second_o this_o likewise_o be_v by_o way_n of_o instruction_n observable_a from_o the_o doctrine_n that_o man_n do_v but_o that_o which_o be_v their_o duty_n in_o this_o kind_n when_o they_o be_v enlarge_v in_o the_o great_a measure_n in_o the_o expression_n of_o their_o love_n towards_o their_o brethren_n if_o they_o shall_v give_v all_o their_o good_n and_o part_n with_o their_o whole_a substance_n to_o they_o yea_o if_o they_o shall_v lay_v down_o their_o neck_n and_o jeopardy_n their_o life_n for_o their_o sake_n yet_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o boast_v of_o in_o all_o this_o they_o be_v nevertheless_o to_o remain_v vile_a and_o little_a in_o their_o own_o eye_n if_o their_o right_a hand_n do_v never_o so_o much_o in_o this_o kind_n yet_o shall_v not_o their_o left_a hand_n know_v any_o thing_n at_o all_o of_o it_o height_n of_o duty_n shall_v no_o way_n prejudice_n or_o hinder_v the_o depth_n of_o humility_n so_o likewise_o you_o say_v our_o saviour_n to_o his_o disciple_n when_o you_o shall_v have_v do_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v command_v you_o say_v we_o be_v unprofitable_a servant_n we_o have_v do_v that_o which_o be_v our_o duty_n to_o do_v observe_v three_o by_o way_n of_o instruction_n what_o gracious_a and_o bless_a provision_n the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v make_v for_o the_o poor_a and_o weak_a and_o distress_a one_o in_o any_o kind_n in_o his_o church_n he_o have_v engage_v the_o rich_a and_o strong_a and_o those_o that_o be_v at_o liberty_n and_o that_o have_v mean_n of_o relief_n or_o support_n in_o any_o kind_n in_o their_o hand_n to_o be_v ready_a at_o all_o time_n to_o minister_v unto_o they_o the_o necessity_n of_o any_o as_o far_o as_o they_o be_v make_v know_v be_v a_o summons_n from_o heaven_n to_o call_v the_o rest_n to_o look_v after_o they_o and_o relieve_v they_o if_o this_o royal_a law_n be_v due_o observe_v in_o the_o church_n of_o christ_n one_o sufferer_n shall_v create_v and_o raise_v up_o many_o reliever_n neither_o shall_v there_o be_v hear_v the_o complaint_n or_o cry_n of_o any_o man_n sink_v whilst_o there_o remain_v any_o one_o swim_v it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o the_o mind_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o fulfil_v by_o his_o body_n if_o there_o be_v one_o member_n 21._o

high_a and_o deep_a expression_n of_o our_o love_n to_o the_o saint_n be_v but_o matter_n of_o duty_n in_o we_o as_o their_o necessity_n may_v determine_v it_o then_o be_v it_o not_o any_o discharge_n of_o a_o man_n duty_n nor_o to_o be_v count_v obedience_n unto_o god_n or_o unto_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n when_o the_o necessity_n of_o your_o brethren_n be_v great_a and_o sore_o upon_o they_o man_n shall_v minister_v unto_o they_o in_o a_o spare_v pinch_a and_o contemptible_a manner_n when_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o saint_n require_v it_o may_v be_v the_o one_o half_a of_o our_o substance_n and_o we_o cast_v in_o two_o mite_n into_o their_o treasury_n when_o their_o exigence_n call_v we_o to_o lay_v down_o our_o life_n for_o they_o and_o we_o be_v willing_a only_o to_o
