to_o wit_n john_n 15.12_o 13._o this_o be_v my_o commandment_n that_o you_o love_v one_o another_o as_o i_o have_v love_v you_o and_o how_o be_v that_o see_v vers_fw-la 15._o great_a love_n have_v

than_o any_o of_o t●e_v rest_n and_o chief_o because_o that_o his_o doctrine_n of_o lou●_n and_o his_o command_n thereof_o take_v more_o impression_n in_o he_o then_o the_o other_o disciple_n and_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o the_o love_n of_o the_o brethren_n take_v more_o place_n in_o his_o heart_n as_o so_o it_o be_v manifest_a in_o his_o epistle_n and_o gospel_n by_o his_o treat_v more_o

the_o most_o bend_v to_o the_o press_v and_o inculcate_v and_o communication_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o love_n unto_o their_o brethren_n 2_o con._n and_o that_o they_o whosoever_o that_o can_v

look_v how_o much_o more_o cordial_o we_o embrace_v and_o receive_v his_o doctrine_n of_o love_n by_o so_o much_o the_o more_o cordial_o we_o shall_v be_v and_o be_v embrace_v yea_o love_a and_o receive_v of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o thus_o much_o by_o the_o way_n now_o for_o the_o proper_a extent_n of_o the_o manner_n and_o measure_n of_o this_o duty_n of_o love_n see_v 1_o

the_o elect_a and_o belove_v of_o god_n that_o know_v one_o another_o and_o in_o the_o judgement_n of_o charity_n account_v one_o another_o such_o may_v love_v one_o another_o as_o brethren_n and_o

to_o have_v fellowship_n one_o with_o another_o so_o as_o the_o blood_n of_o jesus_n christ_n may_v cleanse_v we_o from_o all_o sin_n see_v my_o ground_n for_o this_o 1_o john_n 1.7_o and_o the_o rather_o because_o that_o if_o we_o say_v that_o we_o have_v fellowship_n with_o god_n and_o walk_n in_o darkness_n we_o lie_v and_o do_v not_o the_o truth_n see_v vers_fw-la 6_o and_o if_o we_o
