in_o these_o three_o thing_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o judgement_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o affection_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o practice_n first_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o

we_o shall_v act_v as_o to_o our_o judgement_n affection_n and_o practice_n one_o towards_o another_o but_o you_o will_v say_v if_o this_o be_v so_o then_o how_o much_o be_v our_o love_n want_v one_o towards_o another_o but_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v that_o our_o love_n to_o one_o another_o may_v be_v more_o knit_v together_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v that_o we_o may_v advance_v and_o rise_v to_o this_o holy_a agreement_n both_o in_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o other_o for_o answer_v hereunto_o take_v these_o direction_n first_o be_v serious_a in_o this_o work_n and_o lay_v aside_o the_o former_a hindrance_n of_o your_o love_n and_o your_o former_a division_n and_o let_v not_o any_o of_o you_o say_v this_o be_v the_o fault_n and_o that_o be_v the_o fault_n and_o such_o a_o one_o be_v

the_o same_o word_n that_o be_v use_v in_o the_o original_n for_o persecutor_n be_v also_o use_v for_o peace_n to_o show_v that_o we_o shall_v follow_v after_o it_o with_o might_n and_o main_a as_o

strengthen_v else_o this_o union_n can_v continue_v it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o love_n to_o interpret_v love_n in_o the_o best_a sense_n to_o interpret_v thing_n well_o four_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o love_n to_o speak_v high_o of_o the_o person_n or_o thing_n belove_v where_o there_o be_v a_o unite_n and_o a_o sweet_a agreement_n there_o love_n will_v speak_v high_a thing_n of_o each_o other_o five_o the_o property_n of_o love_n be_v to_o cover_v the_o infirmity_n of_o those_o they_o love_v and_o indeed_o how_o can_v there_o be_v any_o agreement_n if_o infirmity_n be_v not_o cover_v it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o love_n to_o give_v no_o offence_n nor_o to_o take_v any_o and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sign_n that_o there_o be_v no_o agreement_n nor_o no_o love_n when_o people_n be_v so_o apt_a to_o give_v offence_n and_o to_o take_v offence_n for_o true_a love_n be_v apt_a to_o do_v neither_o but_o to_o take_v all_o in_o good_a part_n six_o true_a love_n know_v how_o to_o give_v and_o how_o to_o take_v admonition_n and_o thus_o you_o have_v hear_v what_o love_n will_v do_v therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o to_o strengthen_v your_o love_n to_o one_o another_o yea_o i_o beseech_v you_o in_o the_o lord_n to_o increase_v it_o more_o

he_o will_v in_o hell_n fire_n thus_o now_o if_o you_o will_v have_v your_o fear_n strengthen_v then_o study_v these_o thing_n consider_v and_o meditate_v upon_o these_o thing_n but_o yet_o a_o little_a further_o if_o you_o will_v strengthen_v your_o fear_n of_o god_n more_o and_o more_o than_o labour_n after_o more_o communion_n with_o he_o now_o in_o this_o world_n while_o you_o be_v here_o we_o use_v to_o say_v too_o much_o familiarity_n breed_v contempt_n but_o here_o it_o be_v not_o so_o for_o by_o familiarity_n and_o communion_n with_o god_n we_o shall_v have_v more_o sweetness_n and_o more_o delight_n in_o his_o way_n more_o strength_n in_o his_o service_n more_o comfort_n in_o our_o affliction_n if_o you_o will_v therefore_o have_v these_o advantage_n then_o labour_v to_o walk_v more_o close_o with_o god_n and_o to_o have_v more_o communion_n with_o he_o labour_v therefore_o i_o say_v to_o have_v more_o communion_n with_o god_n if_o you_o will_v fear_v he_o more_o and_o more_o the_o great_a a_o person_n be_v here_o on_o earth_n as_o i_o tell_v you_o before_o the_o more_o we_o fear_v he_o and_o the_o near_o he_o be_v in_o relation_n to_o we_o the_o more_o we_o reverence_v he_o my_o friend_n will_v you_o obtain_v everlasting_a mercy_n will_v you_o have_v everlasting_a mercy_n belong_v to_o you_o then_o labour_v to_o fear_v the_o lord_n in_o truth_n yet_o more_o and_o more_o and_o i_o beseech_v you_o to_o think_v of_o this_o truth_n meditate_v upon_o it_o think_v of_o it_o upon_o all_o occasion_n and_o say_v do_v other_o slubber_v over_o duty_n so_o will_v not_o i_o because_o i_o fear_v the_o lord_n do_v other_o walk_v injurious_o so_o will_v not_o i_o because_o i_o fear_v the_o lord_n do_v other_o do_v contrary_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o so_o will_v not_o i_o because_o i_o fear_v the_o lord_n let_v this_o truth_n go_v up_o and_o down_o with_o you_o and_o it_o will_v keep_v you_o in_o your_o deal_n both_o with_o god_n and_o man_n remember_v the_o character_n of_o one_o that_o fear_v the_o lord_n he_o be_v one_o that_o can_v will_v not_o do_v as_o other_o do_v for_o so_o say_v the_o text_n but_o so_o do_v not_o i_o because_o of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n sermon_n v._o psal._n 133.1_o behold_v how_o good_a and_o how_o pleasant_a it_o be_v for_o brethren_n to_o dwell_v together_o in_o unity_n in_o this_o short_a psalm_n we_o may_v see_v the_o excellency_n of_o the_o saint_n communion_n fellowship_n and_o brotherly_a agreement_n it_o be_v describe_v and_o commend_v first_o describe_v from_o the_o fountain_n of_o it_o from_o god_n as_o a_o father_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v how_o good_a and_o how_o pleasant_a it_o be_v for_o brethren_n second_o describe_v also_o from_o the_o act_n and_o exercise_n thereof_o which_o be_v to_o dwell_v together_o in_o unity_n second_o it_o be_v commend_v from_o the_o goodness_n and_o profitableness_n and_o pleasantness_n of_o it_o it_o be_v a_o good_a thing_n a_o profitable_a thing_n for_o brethren_n to_o dwell_v together_o in_o unity_n behold_v how_o good_a it_o be_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o man_n behold_v how_o pleasant_a it_o be_v beyond_o expression_n for_o brethren_n to_o dwell_v together_o in_o unity_n and_o the_o goodness_n and_o pleasantness_n of_o it_o be_v express_v by_o two_o similitude_n it_o be_v compare_v to_o the_o precious_a ointment_n upon_o the_o head_n of_o aaron_n verse_n 2._o it_o be_v like_o the_o precious_a ointment_n upon_o the_o head_n that_o run_v down_o upon_o the_o beard_n even_o aaron_n hear_v that_o go_v down_o to_o the_o

that_o descend_v upon_o the_o mountain_n of_o zion_n etc._n etc._n thus_o you_o see_v the_o design_n of_o this_o psalm_n be_v to_o declare_v the_o goodness_n and_o profitableness_n of_o unity_n between_o brethren_n from_o whence_o then_o i_o take_v up_o this_o observation_n that_o a_o love_a agreement_n between_o the_o saint_n among_o themselves_o be_v exceed_v pleasant_a and_o very_o profitable_a some_o thing_n be_v pleasant_a but_o not_o profitable_a and_o some_o thing_n be_v profitable_a and_o not_o pleasant_a as_o physic_n etc._n etc._n but_o communion_n and_o fellowship_n and_o a_o love_a agreement_n among_o the_o saint_n be_v both_o pleasant_a and_o profitable_a first_o it_o be_v a_o pleasant_a thing_n for_o the_o saint_n and_o people_n of_o god_n to_o agree_v together_o for_o the_o same_o word_n which_o be_v use_v here_o for_o pleasant_a be_v use_v also_o in_o the_o hebrew_n for_o a_o harmony_n of_o music_n such_o as_o when_o they_o rise_v to_o the_o high_a strain_n of_o the_o viol_n when_o the_o string_n be_v all_o put_v in_o order_n to_o make_v up_o a_o harmony_n so_o pleasant_a be_v it_o such_o pleasantness_n be_v there_o in_o the_o saint_n agreement_n the_o same_o word_n be_v use_v also_o in_o the_o hebrew_n for_o the_o pleasantness_n of_o a_o cornfield_n when_o a_o field_n be_v clothe_v with_o corn_n though_o it_o be_v cut_v down_o yet_o it_o be_v very_o pleasant_a o_o how_o pleasant_a be_v it_o and_o such_o be_v the_o saint_n agreement_n the_o same_o word_n in_o the_o psalmist_n be_v use_v also_o for_o the_o sweetness_n of_o

etc._n it_o be_v a_o pleasant_a thing_n to_o behold_v the_o sun_n but_o it_o be_v much_o more_o pleasant_a to_o behold_v the_o saint_n agreement_n and_o unity_n among_o themselves_o there_o be_v many_o time_n break_n and_o lose_n in_o the_o love_n of_o the_o saint_n and_o therefore_o when_o they_o come_v to_o a_o agreement_n and_o union_n among_o themselves_o again_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v very_o pleasant_a and_o profitable_a and_o sweet_a for_o thing_n once_o lose_v and_o find_v again_o be_v very_o sweet_a and_o upon_o this_o account_v it_o be_v that_o the_o commandment_n of_o love_n be_v call_v a_o new_a commandment_n because_o it_o be_v break_v so_o often_o and_o so_o often_o renew_v again_o and_o the_o psalmist_n speak_v here_o of_o the_o sweetness_n and_o pleasantness_n of_o
