general_a even_o unto_o our_o very_a mortal_a and_o deadly_a enemy_n for_o this_o cause_n then_o be_v it_o that_o saint_n peter_n do_v not_o bring_v love_n and_o brotherly_a kindness_n together_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o one_o link_n but_o speak_v of_o they_o several_o &_o distinct_o yet_o linck_v they_o one_o in_o the_o other_o because_o there_o can_v be_v no_o brotherlie_a kindness_n where_o there_o be_v no_o love_n nor_o any_o true_a love_n where_o there_o be_v not_o brotherlie_a kindness_n whereupon_o it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o none_o but_o the_o child_n of_o god_n can_v have_v either_o love_n or_o brotherly_a kindness_n objection_n first_o then_o to_o entreat_v of_o brotherly_a kindness_n which_o be_v not_o so_o general_a as_o love_n be_v see_v that_o none_o
