a_o new_a commandment_n say_v he_o i_o give_v you_o that_o you_o love_v one_o another_o as_o i_o have_v love_v you_o q.d._n nothing_o will_v more_o safe_o defend_v you_o from_o the_o envy_n of_o the_o

our_o present_a time_n may_v hereby_o be_v suppress_v which_o flatter_v itself_o with_o faith_n alone_o do_v altogether_o flee_v and_o fight_v against_o obedience_n to_o any_o command_n charity_n

let_v it_o suffice_v we_o now_o that_o we_o go_v along_o with_o the_o meaning_n of_o christ_n word_n 1._o 1._o and_o first_o some_o will_v be_v ready_a to_o startle_v and_o be_v affright_v to_o hear_v christ_n speak_v of_o or_o so_o much_o as_o mention_v a_o command_n as_o if_o he_o mean_v to_o impose_v the_o yoke_n of_o the_o law_n upon_o they_o again_o but_o he_o allay_v his_o speech_n with_o this_o that_o he_o do_v not_o enjoin_v many_o as_o moses_n do_v but_o give_v only_o one_o command_n and_o in_o that_o he_o call_v it_o a_o new_a commandment_n it_o be_v a_o sign_n that_o he_o will_v free_v we_o from_o the_o yoke_n of_o the_o law_n 9.4_o acts._n 15._o isa_n 9.4_o which_o none_o be_v able_a to_o bear_v and_o which_o condemn_v every_o man_n and_o therefore_o in_o isaiah_n it_o be_v call_v the_o sceptre_n of_o the_o exactor_n 2._o 2._o hereby_o he_o show_v that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o salvation_n if_o it_o be_v there_o have_v be_v no_o need_n of_o add_v any_o more_o although_o the_o law_n command_v we_o to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n 22._o matth._n 22._o for_o christ_n also_o say_v that_o it_o be_v one_o of_o the_o first_o precept_n of_o the_o law_n nevertheless_o here_o he_o call_v it_o a_o new_a commandment_n because_o 1._o 5._o matth._n 5._o it_o be_v renew_v by_o he_o for_o the_o pharisee_n have_v much_o obscure_v it_o by_o their_o tradition_n for_o this_o thou_o shall_v hate_v thy_o enemy_n be_v foist_v in_o by_o they_o whereas_o the_o law_n say_v no_o such_o thing_n therefore_o christ_n reject_v it_o 2._o it_o be_v command_v more_o frequent_o and_o more_o excellent_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n the_o sabbath_n sacrifice_n and_o ceremony_n be_v often_o mention_v in_o the_o law_n but_o love_n be_v every_o where_o command_v in_o the_o new_a testament_n 3._o in_o the_o new_a testament_n it_o be_v otherwise_o lay_v down_o than_o in_o the_o law_n or_o old_a testament_n to_o they_o it_o be_v say_v thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o but_o to_o we_o as_o i_o have_v love_v you_o which_o be_v somewhat_o more_o for_o christ_n love_v we_o more_o than_o himself_o he_o spare_v not_o himself_o that_o he_o may_v spare_v we_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o new_a command_n because_o we_o be_v bid_v love_v our_o neighbour_n more_o than_o ourselves_o so_o that_o we_o shall_v prefer_v nothing_o before_o he_o neither_o honour_n nor_o riches_n no_o nor_o our_o bodily_a life_n as_o we_o see_v in_o christ_n that_o he_o do_v not_o 4._o because_o it_o be_v now_o confirm_v by_o great_a example_n viz._n of_o god_n and_o christ_n hence_o say_v john_n herein_o be_v love_n 3.16_o 1_o john_n 4.19_o &_o 3.16_o because_o he_o first_o love_v we_o and_o lay_v down_o his_o life_n for_o we_o 5._o it_o be_v a_o new_a commandment_n because_o he_o command_v it_o from_o the_o heart_n and_o not_o from_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n and_o teach_v that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o fulfil_v by_o outward_a work_n but_o by_o the_o inward_a love_n of_o the_o heart_n 6._o because_o though_o all_o the_o other_o precept_n both_o ceremonial_a and_o judicial_a be_v abolish_v this_o only_o continue_v and_o be_v renew_v not_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o law_n which_o indeed_o do_v require_v it_o but_o give_v no_o power_n to_o fulfil_v it_o but_o from_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o gospel_n which_o give_v strength_n by_o the_o spirit_n to_o fulfil_v all_o the_o commandment_n 7._o it_o be_v never_o wear_v out_o it_o abide_v new_a still_o and_o never_o wax_v old_a for_o let_v we_o love_v never_o so_o much_o and_o never_o so_o long_o yet_o we_o be_v still_o debtor_n so_o to_o do_v 8._o it_o be_v new_a because_o as_o that_o which_o be_v new_a be_v near_a to_o its_o principle_n or_o beginning_n so_o charity_n unit_v and_o make_v we_o nigh_o unto_o god_n who_o be_v the_o begin_n of_o all_o thing_n 9_o because_o it_o can_v be_v fulfil_v but_o by_o a_o new_a spirit_n or_o in_o newness_n of_o spirit_n not_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o bondage_n but_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o liberty_n and_o adoption_n which_o who_o so_o have_v not_o 5._o rom._n 5._o shall_v never_o fulfil_v this_o command_n for_o by_o the_o spirit_n alone_o be_v chatity_n shed_v abroad_o into_o our_o heart_n but_o mark_v christ_n do_v not_o speak_v of_o any_o kind_n of_o love_n there_o be_v a_o carnal_a love_n there_o be_v a_o inordinate_a love_n when_o we_o do_v not_o only_o love_v the_o person_n and_o favour_n they_o but_o their_o vice_n too_o christ_n speak_v not_o of_o this_o love_n nor_o of_o that_o which_o consist_v only_o in_o word_n and_o in_o tongue_n but_o of_o that_o which_o be_v in_o deed_n and_o in_o truth_n therefore_o he_o say_v as_o i_o have_v love_v you_o now_o christ_n love_v we_o 1._o ordinate_o because_o he_o love_v our_o person_n yet_o so_o as_o not_o to_o flatter_v our_o fault_n but_o sharp_o reprove_v they_o even_o in_o those_o who_o he_o love_v best_o 2._o effectual_o not_o in_o word_n only_o but_o in_o deed_n he_o love_v we_o free_o without_o any_o merit_n of_o we_o 3._o yea_o when_o we_o be_v yet_o enemy_n when_o we_o be_v yet_o sinner_n we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n rom._n 5.8,10_o 4._o last_o persevere_o to_o the_o end_n as_o be_v say_v before_o joh._n 13._o let_v we_o learn_v from_o hence_o how_o we_o ought_v to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n but_o when_o he_o say_v as_o i_o have_v love_v you_o we_o must_v not_o think_v that_o he_o require_v a_o measure_n every_o way_n proportionable_a to_o his_o love_n for_o who_o can_v so_o love_v but_o he_o will_v have_v we_o do_v our_o utmost_a and_o strive_v might_n and_o main_a with_o all_o our_o strength_n to_o imitate_v his_o love_n if_o we_o can_v keep_v pace_n with_o he_o let_v we_o at_o least_o follow_v hard_a after_o he_o 63.8_o psalm_n 63.8_o and_o keep_v as_o close_o as_o may_v be_v as_o elsewhere_o he_o say_v not_o learn_v of_o i_o to_o work_v miracle_n etc._n etc._n but_o learn_v of_o i_o because_o i_o be_o meek_a and_o lowly_a in_o heart_n so_o here_o he_o will_v not_o have_v they_o know_v to_o be_v his_o disciple_n by_o any_o other_o badge_n but_o love_n hereby_o shall_v all_o man_n know_v that_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n if_o you_o love_v one_o another_o christian_n have_v other_o duty_n to_o perform_v as_o to_o fast_o pray_v give_v alm_n etc._n etc._n but_o though_o these_o thing_n be_v good_a yet_o a_o hypocrite_n may_v do_v they_o as_o you_o read_v mat._n 6._o christ_n therefore_o will_v have_v none_o own_v as_o his_o disciple_n by_o any_o

of_o a_o godly_a heart_n all_o other_o sign_n may_v fail_v but_o this_o will_v never_o for_o where_o charity_n be_v there_o also_o be_v all_o other_o virtue_n and_o so_o it_o be_v the_o perfect_a

have_v give_v they_o this_o for_o their_o livery_n that_o other_o may_v be_v allure_v and_o win_v by_o the_o good_a odour_n of_o the_o faithful_a and_o say_v behold_v 133._o psalm_n 133._o how_o
