merciful_a as_o he_o be_v merciful_a he_o will_v have_v we_o love_v as_o he_o be_v love_v itself_o again_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o a_o love_a father_n by_o all_o mean_n to_o procure_v the_o welfare_n of_o his_o child_n so_o our_o heavenly_a father_n desirous_a of_o our_o continual_a happiness_n command_v we_o love_n that_o so_o we_o may_v lead_v our_o life_n with_o delight_n and_o pleasure_n if_o he_o have_v hate_v we_o he_o will_v have_v command_v we_o to_o live_v in_o hatred_n and_o envy_n and_o malice_n with_o our_o neighbour_n for_o among_o all_o the_o misery_n that_o be_v under_o the_o sun_n there_o be_v not_o a_o more_o miserable_a and_o irksome_a life_n than_o the_o life_n of_o the_o envious_a solomon_n prou._n 14.30_o call_v it_o a_o rot_v of_o the_o bone_n and_o as_o it_o be_v a_o consumption_n of_o the_o body_n because_o the_o envious_a man_n always_o repine_v and_o pine_v away_o at_o other_o man_n prosperity_n as_o all_o thing_n work_v to_o the_o best_a to_o they_o that_o love_n god_n rom._n 8._o so_o all_o thing_n work_v to_o the_o worst_a to_o they_o that_o be_v envious_a therefore_o one_o wish_v that_o the_o envious_a man_n have_v eye_n in_o every_o city_n that_o he_o may_v be_v vex_v with_o all_o man_n prosperity_n as_o christ_n say_v john_n 13._o by_o this_o shall_v all_o man_n know_v that_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n if_o you_o have_v love_v one_o towards_o another_o so_o the_o devil_n say_v by_o this_o shall_v all_o man_n know_v that_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n if_o you_o have_v envy_n and_o hatred_n and_o malice_n one_o towards_o another_o therefore_o leave_v that_o hateful_a and_o loathsome_a kind_n of_o life_n to_o the_o reprobate_n and_o damn_a who_o be_v always_o mal-content_a like_o cain_n gen._n 4._o and_o their_o countenance_n cast_v down_o they_o can_v look_v on_o their_o brother_n with_o a_o cheerful_a countenance_n nor_o afford_v he_o a_o merry_a word_n god_n have_v prescribe_v love_n to_o those_o that_o be_v he_o to_o show_v how_o desirous_a he_o be_v of_o their_o welfare_n &_o happiness_n but_o here_o some_o churl_n may_v say_v unto_o i_o if_o this_o be_v all_o i_o shall_v do_v well_o enough_o if_o god_n require_v no_o more_o but_o love_n i_o shall_v be_v well_o content_a to_o love_v so_o that_o i_o be_v not_o bind_v to_o give_v alas_o this_o be_v a_o silly_a shift_n for_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o godly_a love_n to_o relieve_v and_o help_v he_o that_o be_v belove_v therefore_o who_o thou_o love_v if_o thou_o love_v he_o true_o thou_o can_v not_o see_v he_o lack_v if_o it_o be_v in_o thy_o power_n to_o supply_v his_o want_n if_o thou_o love_v thy_o horse_n thou_o will_v give_v he_o provender_v if_o thou_o love_v thy_o dog_n thou_o will_v give_v he_o thy_o crumb_n and_o if_o thou_o love_v thy_o brother_n thou_o will_v give_v he_o food_n therefore_o though_o nothing_o be_v express_v which_o thou_o shall_v give_v unto_o thy_o brother_n yet_o in_o that_o thou_o must_v love_v he_o thou_o be_v bind_v to_o give_v he_o not_o only_o thy_o good_n but_o even_o thy_o life_n if_o need_v require_v to_o do_v he_o good_a this_o be_v my_o commandment_n say_v our_o

5._o ●_o therefore_o we_o also_o ought_v to_o give_v out_o live_v for_o our_o brethren_n 1._o john_n 3.16_o for_o as_o much_o then_o as_o thy_o life_n which_o as_o christ_n speak_v be_v more_o worth_a

defraud_v not_o he_o of_o food_n and_o raiment_n to_o who_o thou_o owe_v even_o thy_o life_n itself_o but_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o second_o thing_n which_o show_v who_o be_v bind_v to_o love_n thou_o shall_v love_v under_o this_o word_n thou_o god_n comprehend_v every_o particular_a man_n and_o woman_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v thou_o thyself_o and_o not_o any_o other_o for_o thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n the_o poor_a man_n be_v not_o exempt_v from_o this_o precept_n because_o he_o may_v love_v aswell_o as_o the_o scotfree_a if_o he_o say_v i_o have_v no_o wealth_n and_o therefore_o i_o can_v show_v my_o love_n to_o my_o neighbour_n though_o he_o have_v no_o wealth_n yet_o he_o have_v a_o heart_n he_o have_v a_o mind_n he_o have_v a_o affection_n let_v he_o have_v a_o love_a heart_n a_o love_a mind_n and_o a_o love_a affection_n if_o he_o can_v do_v well_o let_v he_o wish_v well_o unto_o his_o neighbour_n if_o he_o can_v or_o gratify_v he_o with_o any_o thing_n that_o he_o have_v let_v he_o not_o envy_v at_o any_o thing_n that_o the_o scotfree_a man_n have_v sort_n the_o scotfree_a man_n show_v that_o he_o love_v his_o neighbour_n if_o he_o relieve_v his_o necessity_n so_o the_o poor_a man_n show_v that_o he_o love_v his_o neighbour_n if_o he_o grieve_v not_o at_o his_o prosperity_n this_o therefore_o as_o a_o general_a precept_n bind_v the_o poor_a aswell_o as_o the_o scotfree_a it_o be_v a_o common_a yoke_n lay_v upon_o the_o neck_n and_o a_o common_a burden_n lay_v upon_o the_o back_n of_o every_o christian_n but_o yet_o it_o be_v a_o easy_a yoke_n and_o a_o light_a burden_n matt._n 11._o because_o it_o be_v love_n which_o make_v all_o thing_n to_o seem_v delightsome_a as_o there_o be_v some_o that_o will_v be_v content_a to_o love_v if_o they_o may_v not_o give_v so_o there_o be_v some_o will_v be_v content_a to_o give_v if_o they_o be_v sure_o they_o shall_v not_o want_v therefore_o when_o it_o come_v to_o give_v they_o post_v it_o over_o to_o their_o heir_n or_o to_o their_o executor_n or_o to_o their_o successor_n when_o they_o be_v dead_a they_o be_v never_o liberal_a until_o they_o die_v and_o then_o they_o be_v liberal_a of_o that_o which_o be_v none_o of_o they_o they_o think_v to_o be_v excuse_v by_o the_o liberality_n of_o their_o heir_n but_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o be_v liberal_a for_o themselves_o therefore_o they_o must_v not_o lay_v the_o burden_n upon_o they_o because_o every_o man_n must_v bear_v his_o own_o burden_n gal._n 6._o if_o they_o say_v i_o know_v not_o what_o need_n i_o may_v have_v before_o i_o die_v let_v they_o remember_v that_o what_o they_o give_v unto_o the_o poor_a they_o lend_v unto_o the_o lord_n and_o he_o be_v a_o sure_a paymaster_n he_o give_v great_a usury_n and_o as_o david_n lay_v i_o never_o see_v the_o righteous_a forsake_v nor_o his_o seed_n beg_v their_o bread_n so_o they_o must_v needs_o confess_v if_o they_o will_v confess_v the_o truth_n that_o they_o never_o see_v the_o godly_a man_n that_o be_v liberal_a to_o the_o poor_a by_o that_o mean_n to_o come_v to_o misery_n by_o other_o mean_v many_o man_n fall_v into_o extreme_a poverty_n alea_n vina_n venus_n dice_n wine_n and_o woman_n have_v bring_v many_o to_o beggary_n but_o by_o beneficence_n and_o liberality_n to_o the_o poor_a i_o never_o hear_v that_o any_o come_v to_o penury_n such_o a_o foison_n have_v your_o alm_n that_o by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n which_o make_v man_n rich_a it_o increase_v like_o the_o widow_n meal_n and_o oil_n which_o she_o bestow_v upon_o the_o

neighbour_n he_o say_v not_o thou_o shall_v love_v the_o rich_a man_n or_o thy_o kinsman_n or_o thy_o friend_n or_o thy_o companion_n but_o thy_o neighbour_n under_o which_o word_n be_v comprehend_v every_o man_n that_o be_v any_o way_n capable_a of_o thy_o love_n yea_o even_o thy_o enemy_n be_v include_v in_o this_o precept_n matthew_n 5._o rom._n 12._o as_o the_o jew_n think_v none_o to_o be_v their_o neighbour_n but_o their_o own_o nation_n so_o some_o think_v none_o to_o be_v their_o neighbour_n but_o their_o equal_n the_o rich_a man_n despise_v the_o poor_a man_n and_o he_o again_o envy_v the_o rich_a man_n and_o every_o man_n as_o the_o proverb_n be_v delight_v in_o those_o that_o be_v like_o himself_o but_o here_o this_o law_n require_v that_o whosoever_o be_v our_o neighbour_n by_o any_o mean_n be_v to_o be_v love_v as_o our_o saviour_n christ_n have_v two_o kind_n of_o kinsfolk_n matthew_n 12._o one_o by_o the_o flesh_n and_o another_o by_o the_o spirit_n so_o we_o have_v two_o kind_n of_o neighbour_n one_o by_o nature_n and_o another_o by_o grace_n and_o as_o christ_n preserd_v his_o spiritual_a kindred_n

people_n think_v that_o the_o doctrine_n be_v true_a when_o they_o that_o preach_v it_o live_v not_o thereafter_o will_v not_o the_o people_n reason_n thus_o if_o his_o doctrine_n be_v good_a sure_o he_o will_v follow_v it_o if_o his_o life_n be_v good_a sure_o he_o will_v teach_v we_o to_o live_v as_o he_o do_v therefore_o whatsoever_o he_o say_v we_o will_v not_o believe_v he_o but_o as_o he_o do_v so_o will_v we_o do_v and_o we_o hope_v to_o escape_v aswell_o as_o he_o thus_o with_o the_o one_o hand_n they_o build_v up_o the_o church_n of_o god_n and_o with_o the_o other_o hand_n they_o pull_v it_o down_o because_o they_o do_v more_o hurt_n by_o their_o bad_a example_n than_o they_o can_v do_v good_a with_o all_o their_o preach_n these_o be_v the_o ungodly_a that_o the_o lord_n by_o his_o prophet_n reprove_v psalm_n 50._o why_o do_v thou_o preach_v my_o law_n and_o take_v my_o word_n etc._n etc._n so_o long_o as_o esay_n be_v a_o man_n of_o pollute_a lip_n the_o office_n of_o preach_v be_v not_o commit_v unto_o he_o but_o when_o his_o lip_n be_v cleanse_v esay_n 6._o then_o be_v he_o fit_v for_o that_o office_n and_o function_n even_o so_o as_o long_o as_o we_o delight_v in_o sin_n as_o much_o as_o any_o we_o be_v not_o meet_v to_o reproove_v the_o sin_n of_o other_o but_o when_o we_o behave_v ourselves_o as_o it_o become_v the_o minister_n of_o the_o gospel_n then_o have_v we_o commission_n to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o to_o reproove_v the_o sin_n of_o the_o people_n therefore_o to_o a_o good_a churchman_n as_o you_o use_v to_o call_v we_o two_o thing_n be_v necessary_a the_o first_o be_v to_o teach_v well_o the_o second_o be_v to_o live_v well_o for_o as_o we_o be_v resemble_v to_o salt_n because_o we_o must_v season_v the_o people_n with_o sound_n and_o wholesome_a doctrine_n so_o be_v we_o resemble_v to_o the_o sun_n because_o we_o must_v shine_v as_o light_n in_o the_o world_n by_o our_o holy_a life_n as_o john_n baptist_n be_v the_o voice_n of_o a_o crier_n so_o he_o be_v a_o burn_a lamp_n as_o the_o apostle_n be_v will_v to_o teach_v and_o baptise_v so_o their_o light_n be_v command_v to_o shine_v that_o man_n see_v their_o good_a work_n may_v glorify_v god_n three_o we_o here_o may_v see_v that_o truth_n be_v truth_n and_o to_o be_v commend_v from_o whosoever_o it_o come_v for_o though_o this_o lawyer_n come_v to_o tempt_v christ_n yet_o because_o he_o tell_v the_o truth_n christ_n admit_v his_o answer_n and_o commend_v he_o for_o it_o whereby_o we_o have_v to_o learn_v to_o embrace_v and_o receive_v the_o truth_n by_o whosoever_o it_o be_v bring_v for_o as_o a_o jewel_n be_v to_o be_v esteem_v though_o it_o be_v find_v in_o a_o stink_a dunghill_n so_o the_o truth_n be_v to_o be_v regard_v though_o it_o be_v find_v in_o a_o wicked_a man_n and_o last_o of_o all_o we_o here_o may_v see_v that_o to_o be_v verify_v which_o be_v speak_v of_o christ_n esa._n 42._o mat._n 12_o a_o bruise_a reed_n shall_v he_o not_o break_v etc._n etc._n that_o be_v he_o shall_v not_o discourage_v any_o in_o the_o way_n of_o godliness_n though_o this_o lawyer_n be_v christ_n enemy_n yet_o when_o he_o answer_v discreet_o and_o direct_o out_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n christ_n approove_v his_o answer_n and_o exhort_v he_o to_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o same_o whereby_o we_o have_v to_o learn_v to_o commend_v and_o

man_n have_v do_v well_o commend_v he_o and_o he_o will_v do_v better_o but_o alas_o with_o we_o it_o be_v far_o otherwise_o for_o if_o a_o man_n have_v do_v amiss_o it_o shall_v be_v often_o cast_v
