the_o first_o thing_n here_o considerable_a be_v christ_n special_a love_n to_o some_o above_o other_o who_o love_v i_o most_o certain_a it_o be_v from_o the_o word_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o be_v the_o true_a and_o clear_a light_n that_o ever_o shine_v in_o the_o church_n of_o the_o faithful_a that_o christ_n do_v not_o love_v all_o mankind_n alike_o but_o he_o love_v some_o and_o not_o other_o there_o be_v indeed_o a_o general_a and_o common_a love_n of_o christ_n wherein_o he_o comprehend_v all_o mankind_n alike_o which_o he_o manifest_v to_o they_o in_o make_v as_o he_o himself_o say_v matth._n 5.24_o his_o sun_n to_o rise_v on_o the_o evil_a and_o on_o the_o good_a and_o send_v his_o rain_n on_o the_o just_a and_o on_o the_o unjust_a and_o as_o paul_n say_v act_n 14.17_o he_o do_v good_a to_o all_o nation_n though_o they_o walk_v in_o their_o own_o way_n give_v they_o rain_n from_o heaven_n and_o fruitful_a season_n fill_v their_o body_n with_o food_n and_o their_o heart_n with_o gladness_n and_o supply_v they_o with_o the_o common_a thing_n of_o this_o life_n suitable_a to_o their_o humanity_n but_o he_o have_v a_o special_a love_n to_o his_o elect_n to_o the_o church_n which_o be_v his_o body_n these_o he_o love_v as_o his_o own_o flesh_n yea_o as_o partaker_n of_o the_o same_o divine_a nature_n with_o himself_o and_o according_a to_o this_o love_n he_o
