9.13_o i_o require_v mercy_n and_o not_o sacrifice_n 10.20_o when_o as_o yet_o the_o great_a part_n of_o leviticus_n be_v employ_v in_o give_v law_n concern_v sacrifice_n christ_n say_v fear_v not_o

that_o perish_v and_o will_v he_o here_o again_o cry_v out_o what_o logic_n or_o what_o grammar_n will_v endure_v this_o 2._o second_o i_o ask_v what_o grammar_n will_v not_o endure_v it_o i_o have_v already_o show_v the_o hebrew_n and_o the_o greek_a of_o the_o septuagint_n do_v use_v the_o phrase_n in_o this_o sense_n as_o for_o the_o latin_v nothing_o be_v more_o common_a with_o they_o than_o

in_o french_a it_o be_v as_o common_a to_o say_v je_fw-fr vous_fw-fr aime_fw-fr de_fw-fr tout_fw-fr mon_fw-fr coeur_fw-fr we_o teach_v our_o very_a child_n to_o say_v i_o love_v my_o dad_n i_o love_v my_o mam_n with_o my_o whole_a heart_n nothing_o therefore_o be_v more_o ordinary_a in_o every_o language_n than_o to_o use_v this_o expression_n when_o we_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o intend_v to_o signify_v the_o person_n we_o thus_o love_v be_v love_v exclusive_o of_o all_o other_o but_o only_o that_o he_o be_v very_o much_o belove_v by_o we_o why_o may_v not_o the_o scripture_n say_v this_o of_o that_o god_n we_o be_v oblige_v to_o love_v above_o all_o thing_n and_o before_o all_o thing_n and_o so_o as_o to_o love_v other_o thing_n only_o in_o subordination_n and_o relation_n to_o he_o love_v none_o other_o with_o that_o love_n which_o be_v due_a and_o proper_a to_o he_o for_o as_o we_o be_v command_v to_o serve_v he_o only_o and_o yet_o may_v serve_v our_o king_n our_o master_n and_o our_o friend_n to_o fear_v he_o only_o and_o yet_o may_v fear_v our_o parent_n our_o superior_n and_o master_n because_o we_o do_v not_o serve_v they_o with_o that_o religious_a

love_n of_o benevolence_n and_o yet_o love_n god_n only_o with_o that_o desire_n and_o benevolence_n which_o be_v due_a to_o he_o alone_o when_o mr._n n._n propose_v this_o objection_n against_o his_o

the_o love_n of_o god_n 71._o and_o of_o our_o neighbour_n be_v of_o the_o same_o kind_a that_o entire_a love_n of_o the_o former_a will_v indeed_o exclude_v the_o latter_a but_o this_o be_v not_o

in_o
want_v all_o which_o thing_n show_v even_o without_o a_o revelation_n that_o divine_a wisdom_n do_v intend_v that_o we_o shall_v live_v in_o the_o exercise_n of_o industry_n to_o procure_v these_o

whether_o the_o argument_n of_o the_o massalian_a heretic_n be_v not_o as_o like_v to_o that_o of_o mr._n n._n as_o one_o egg_n be_v to_o another_o and_o whether_o it_o be_v not_o of_o equal_a

such_o in_o the_o world_n who_o conceive_v the_o love_n require_v in_o the_o command_n to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o be_v a_o love_n or_o desire_v our_o neighbour_n as_o our_o good_a which_o i_o have_v show_v to_o be_v a_o contradiction_n in_o adjecto_fw-la the_o desire_n of_o our_o neighbour_n as_o our_o good_a be_v not_o proper_o love_v of_o our_o neighbour_n but_o ourselves_o and_o therefore_o though_o some_o divine_n do_v and_o reasonable_o may_v say_v that_o mr._n n.'s_n exposition_n of_o the_o first_o command_n render_v it_o inconsistent_a with_o the_o second_o which_o require_v i_o to_o love_v my_o neighbour_n as_o myself_o because_o it_o exclude_v i_o from_o the_o desire_n of_o those_o creature_n by_o which_o i_o may_v do_v good_a to_o he_o and_o give_v he_o the_o
