christ_n banner_n of_o love_n set_a up_o to_o call_v all_o christian_n to_o serve_v in_o love_n and_o unity_n under_o it_o but_o especial_o direct_v to_o the_o saint_n of_o both_o kingdom_n walk_v in_o love_n as_o christ_n have_v love_v we_o london_n print_v for_o john_n wright_n at_o the_o king_n head_n in_o the_o old_a bayley_n 1648._o christ_n banner_n of_o love_n it_o be_v never_o enough_o to_o be_v lament_v that_o when_o christ_n have_v make_v love_n the_o very_a character_n and_o badge_n of_o his_o disciple_n those_o that_o will_v be_v call_v christian_n that_o be_v the_o disciple_n of_o christ_n be_v far_o from_o that_o wherein_o this_o discipleship_n do_v especial_o consist_v one_o apostle_n have_v name_v some_o chief_a grace_n and_o virtue_n say_v but_o the_o great_a of_o these_o be_v love_n and_o in_o another_o place_n above_o all_o these_o thing_n put_v on_o love_n which_o be_v the_o bond_n of_o perfectness_n and_o another_o apostle_n above_o all_o thing_n have_v fervent_a love_n among_o yourselves_o but_o how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v then_o that_o when_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n set_v up_o love_n above_o all_o thing_n we_o see_v so_o many_o thing_n set_v up_o above_o love_n yea_o we_o see_v love_n destroy_v for_o little_a thing_n which_o be_v better_o than_o all_o thing_n yea_o when_o love_n by_o unite_n will_v mutual_o preserve_v the_o saint_n they_o by_o hatred_n and_o contention_n will_v destroy_v both_o love_n and_o themselves_o yet_o the_o same_o evil_a spirit_n that_o move_v to_o this_o destroy_n by_o hatred_n and_o division_n preserve_v his_o own_o kingdom_n by_o unity_n and_o though_o his_o deprave_a nature_n be_v contrary_a to_o true_a love_n yet_o his_o craft_n so_o far_o overrule_v or_o at_o least_o guide_v his_o malice_n that_o he_o hold_v unity_n for_o our_o ruin_n and_o his_o own_o preservation_n but_o christian_n who_o divine_a nature_n be_v especial_o make_v up_o of_o love_n run_v hasty_o and_o heady_o into_o hatred_n and_o division_n and_o thus_o do_v they_o go_v contrary_a to_o the_o divine_a nature_n wherein_o be_v the_o virtue_n of_o the_o dove_n and_o the_o wisdom_n commend_v in_o the_o

cymbal_n let_v true_a christian_n serious_o consider_v that_o union_n in_o christ_n their_o head_n be_v a_o strong_a root_n of_o love_n and_o unity_n than_o lesser_a difference_n can_v be_v of_o division_n it_o be_v the_o great_a plot_n of_o christ_n by_o the_o expense_n of_o his_o most_o precious_a blood_n to_o recapitulate_v and_o bring_v into_o unity_n under_o one_o head_n those_o that_o lay_v scatter_v under_o sundry_a difference_n and_o be_v it_o not_o then_o to_o counter-worke_n against_o christ_n great_a plot_n and_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n by_o small_a difference_n to_o

oppose_v christ_n in_o his_o doctrine_n and_o in_o his_o main_a work_n and_o dispensation_n let_v such_o hear_v paul_n speak_v where_o there_o be_v division_n among_o you_o be_v you_o not_o carnal_a and_o walk_v as_o man_n and_o indeed_o be_v it_o not_o carnal_a to_o hate_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n for_o that_o difference_n which_o he_o may_v have_v and_o yet_o be_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n be_v not_o he_o more_o to_o be_v love_v for_o be_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n then_o to_o be_v hate_v for_o that_o difference_n yea_o if_o christ_n do_v love_n and_o forgive_v he_o how_o dare_v thou_o to_o hate_v he_o who_o christ_n love_v have_v thou_o see_v any_o warrant_n in_o scripture_n to_o give_v thou_o authority_n to_o hate_v a_o member_n of_o christ_n who_o agree_v with_o christ_n by_o

will_v have_v he_o know_v beyond_o his_o part_n or_o else_o thou_o will_v fall_v out_o with_o he_o be_v not_o this_o to_o fall_v out_o with_o a_o saint_n for_o impossibility_n and_o which_o be_v more_o be_v it_o not_o to_o fight_v against_o god_n in_o his_o dispensation_n god_n be_v not_o please_v to_o put_v this_o knowledge_n within_o his_o part_n and_o therefore_o thou_o fall_v out_o with_o he_o and_o be_v not_o thy_o quarrel_n against_o god_n also_o because_o god_n have_v not_o reveal_v it_o unto_o he_o yea_o as_o confident_a as_o thou_o be_v it_o may_v be_v that_o opinion_n for_o which_o thou_o fall_v out_o with_o he_o be_v not_o in_o thy_o part_n but_o that_o which_o he_o hold_v be_v within_o his_o part_n and_o than_o what_o a_o double_a madness_n be_v it_o to_o hate_v thy_o

but_o if_o of_o ignorance_n he_o err_v in_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v out_o of_o his_o part_n bear_v with_o he_o as_o thou_o will_v be_v bear_v with_o yea_o love_a notwithstanding_o that_o error_n for_o this_o be_v the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v believe_v that_o any_o saint_n willing_o will_v maintain_v a_o know_a error_n and_o if_o he_o hold_v it_o of_o weakness_n

in_o that_o which_o be_v beyond_o thy_o part_n for_o there_o be_v a_o great_a number_n of_o truth_n which_o some_o saint_n know_v and_o other_o do_v not_o yea_o many_a which_o none_o attain_v unto_o we_o have_v plain_a place_n of_o scripture_n wherein_o love_n to_o all_o saint_n be_v commend_v and_o command_v but_o none_o wherein_o hatred_n of_o saint_n for_o lesser_a measure_n of_o knowledge_n
