we_o be_v most_o hearty_a nor_o that_o our_o love_n to_o ourselves_o be_v so_o indeed_o if_o our_o love_n be_v not_o hearty_a as_o we_o love_v not_o like_a christian_n so_o we_o do_v not_o love_v at_o all_o love_n be_v seat_v in_o the_o heart_n only_o so_o that_o profession_n of_o love_n and_o love_v itself_o be_v no_o more_o the_o same_o thing_n than_o be_v shadow_n and_o substance_n reality_n and_o mere_a appearance_n 2._o we_o ought_v to_o love_v ingenuous_o as_o well_o as_o hearty_o to_o love_v man_n ingenuous_o be_v to_o delight_v in_o they_o or_o wish_v well_o to_o they_o for_o their_o own_o sake_n without_o respect_n to_o our_o own_o interest_n so_o you_o need_v not_o be_v tell_v our_o saviour_n love_v mankind_n next_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o the_o advancement_n of_o righteousness_n and_o universal_a goodness_n in_o the_o world_n he_o be_v act_v by_o a_o vehement_a desire_n of_o our_o happiness_n he_o do_v not_o love_n man_n as_o man_n love_v their_o horse_n and_o too_o common_o their_o servant_n only_o or_o most_o for_o his_o own_o advantage_n now_o as_o i_o say_v that_o to_o pretend_v to_o love_v be_v not_o to_o love_v so_o to_o love_v other_o mere_o with_o respect_n to_o our_o own_o good_a be_v rather_o mere_a self_n love_n than_o a_o love_n of_o they_o and_o to_o love_v other_o principal_o for_o our_o own_o sake_n be_v more_o to_o love_v ourselves_o then_o they_o and_o that_o such_o a_o love_n be_v far_o from_o deserve_v to_o be_v call_v christian_a love_n will_v appear_v by_o what_o a_o pagan_a say_v of_o it_o tully_n tell_v we_o in_o his_o laelius_n that_o ipse_fw-la se_fw-la cuique_fw-la deligit_fw-la non_fw-la ut_fw-la aliquam_fw-la a_o seipso_fw-la mercedem_fw-la exigat_fw-la charitatis_fw-la suae_fw-la sed_fw-la quod_fw-la pierce_v sibi_fw-la cuique_fw-la charus_n est_fw-la etc._n etc._n every_o man_n love_v himself_o not_o that_o be_v may_v obtain_v a_o reward_n from_o himself_o for_o so_o do_v but_o because_o he_o be_v for_o

to_o none_o and_o expect_v that_o love_n from_o other_o which_o they_o will_v not_o bestow_v on_o other_o that_o be_v they_o expect_v that_o other_o shall_v love_v they_o pure_o upon_o their_o own_o

we_o thus_o to_o love_v one_o another_o for_o man_n can_v be_v profitable_a to_o god_n as_o he_o that_o be_v wise_a may_v be_v profitable_a to_o himself_o be_v it_o any_o pleasure_n or_o courtesy_n

for_o any_o gain_n to_o himself_o if_o therefore_o we_o will_v be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n we_o must_v love_v each_o other_o not_o only_o sincere_o but_o generous_o and_o ingenuous_o and_o indeed_o if_o we_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o mankind_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o this_o as_o well_o as_o the_o command_v of_o god_n and_o our_o saviour_n do_v oblige_v we_o to_o such_o a_o love_n of_o all_o men._n and_o this_o indeed_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o they_o have_v oblige_v we_o hereunto_o by_o their_o command_n they_o command_v it_o because_o it_o be_v fit_a in_o it_o self_n and_o best_a and_o therefore_o be_v we_o require_v to_o love_n and_o wish_v well_o to_o all_o for_o their_o own_o sake_n because_o every_o man_n be_v in_o himself_o consider_v and_o as_o abstract_v from_o vicious_a habit_n and_o from_o what_o be_v preternatural_a a_o excellent_a and_o therefore_o a_o lovely_a creature_n every_o man_n as_o to_o his_o pure_a natural_n bear_v god_n image_n and_o consequent_o it_o be_v most_o reasonable_a to_o love_v every_o man_n and_o desire_v his_o great_a happiness_n for_o his_o own_o sake_n nay_o we_o ought_v to_o bear_v such_o a_o sort_n of_o goodwill_n to_o god_n whole_a creation_n thus_o to_o love_v brute_n as_o well_o as_o man_n though_o in_o a_o far_o low_a degree_n and_o to_o desire_v for_o they_o all_o that_o happiness_n their_o nature_n be_v capable_a of_o without_o as_o well_o as_o with_o respect_n to_o our_o own_o advantage_n and_o the_o service_n they_o may_v do_v we_o i_o say_v we_o ought_v to_o desire_v the_o well-being_n of_o all_o creature_n whatsoever_o for_o their_o own_o sake_n i_o mean_v so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v consistent_a with_o the_o well-being_a of_o man_n because_o all_o god_n work_n be_v good_a and_o whatsoever_o be_v so_o have_v a_o right_a to_o our_o benevolence_n as_o such_o a_o merciful_a man_n say_v k._n solomon_n be_v merciful_a to_o his_o beast_n and_o not_o only_o be_v he_o so_o because_o by_o his_o ill_a usage_n of_o his_o beast_n he_o will_v disable_v he_o from_o be_v serviceable_a for_o this_o will_v not_o speak_v one_o a_o merciful_a man_n but_o a_o man_n that_o consider_v his_o own_o interest_n but_o because_o the_o poor_a creature_n have_v a_o right_a to_o good_a usage_n and_o if_o such_o a_o love_n as_o this_o be_v due_a to_o beast_n much_o more_o be_v it_o so_o to_o mankind_n by_o the_o way_n what_o a_o ill-natured_a principle_n be_v that_o of_o the_o malmsbury_n philosopher_n viz._n that_o our_o need_n of_o each_o other_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n of_o our_o enter_v into_o societys_n and_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o friendship_n he_o may_v judge_v so_o by_o himself_o but_o every_o one_o who_o nature_n be_v not_o miserable_o deprave_v know_v by_o but_o reflect_v on_o himself_o that_o this_o be_v wretched_a doctrine_n 3._o we_o be_v oblige_v to_o have_v such_o a_o degree_n of_o love_n for_o one_o another_o as_o will_v make_v we_o most_o prompt_a and_o ready_a to_o the_o performance_n of_o all_o office_n of_o mercy_n and_o kindness_n as_o shall_v be_v show_v present_o and_o so_o to_o love_v the_o soul_n of_o our_o brethren_n as_o to_o be_v willing_a even_o to_o lay_v down_o our_o life_n for_o the_o procure_n of_o their_o eternal_a happiness_n if_o it_o be_v necessary_a hereby_o say_v s._n john_n perceive_v we_o the_o love_n of_o god_n because_o he_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o we_o and_o we_o ought_v to_o lay_v down_o our_o life_n for_o the_o brethren_n and_o thus_o to_o love_v one_o another_o as_o christ_n have_v love_v we_o be_v not_o only_o o_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o but_o even_o better_o than_o ourselves_o that_o be_v than_o one_o part_n of_o ourselves_o our_o vile_a part_n and_o as_o severe_a as_o this_o may_v seem_v nothing_o be_v more_o high_o reasonable_a than_o that_o we_o shall_v prefer_v our_o brethren_n soul_n before_o our_o own_o body_n than_o that_o we_o shall_v be_v more_o solicitous_a for_o their_o eternal_a than_o for_o our_o own_o temporal_a life_n this_o appear_v so_o reasonable_a at_o first_o sight_n that_o such_o a_o man_n as_o tully_n have_v it_o come_v into_o his_o mind_n will_v certain_o have_v assert_v it_o to_o be_v our_o duty_n this_o love_n i_o may_v show_v s._n paul_n profess_v to_o have_v for_o his_o unbelieve_a countryman_n and_o he_o give_v the_o great_a

five_o i_o come_v in_o the_o last_o place_n to_o show_v in_o what_o instance_n our_o love_n to_o one_o another_o aught_o to_o be_v express_v many_o i_o may_v lay_v before_o you_o but_o i_o can_v
