the_o very_a word_n of_o our_o savioure_n christ_n himself_o touch_v the_o love_n of_o our_o neighbour_n and_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o phariseis_n with_o their_o moost_n

pestilent_a tradition_n false_a interpretation_n and_o gloss_n have_v corrupt_v and_o almooste_o clerelye_o stop_v up_o this_o pure_a well_o of_o god_n lyvely_a word_n teach_v that_o this_o love_n

christ_n do_v open_v this_o well_o again_o purge_v it_o and_o scour_v it_o by_o gyve_v unto_o his_o godly_a law_n of_o charity_n a_o true_a and_o clear_a interpretation_n which_o be_v this_o that_o we_o ought_v to_o love_v every_o man_n both_o friend_n and_o fooe_v add_v thereto_o what_o commodity_n we_o shall_v have_v thereby_o and_o what_o in_o commodity_n by_o do_v the_o contrary_n what_o

for_o although_o almost_o every_o man_n persuade_v himself_o to_o be_v in_o charity_n yet_o let_v he_o examyne_n none_o other_o man_n but_o his_o own_o heart_n his_o life_n and_o conversation_n and_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v deceyve_v but_o true_o decern_v and_o judge_v whether_o he_o be_v in_o perfyte_n charitye_n or_o not_o for_o he_o that_o follow_v not_o his_o own_o appetite_n and_o will_v but_o gyve_v himself_o earnest_o to_o god_n to_o do_v all_o his_o will_n and_o commandment_n he_o may_v be_v sure_a that_o he_o love_v god_n above_o all_o thing_n and_o else_o suerlye_o he_o love_v he_o not_o what_o so_o ever_o he_o pretend_v 14._o john_n 14._o as_o chryste_n say_v if_o you_o love_v i_o keep_v you_o my_o commandment_n for_o he_o that_o know_v my_o commandment_n &_o do_v keep_v

to_o he_o and_o dwell_v with_o he_o and_o he_o that_o love_v i_o not_o will_v not_o keep_v my_o word_n and_o likewise_o he_o that_o bear_v good_a heart_n and_o mind_n and_o use_v well_o his_o tongue_n and_o dede_n unto_o every_o man_n friend_n and_o fooe_v he_o may_v know_v thereby_o that_o he_o have_v charity_n and_o then_o he_o be_v sure_a also_o that_o almyghty_a god_n take_v he_o for_o his_o dear_a belove_a son_n as_o saint_n john_n say_v in_o the_o three_o chapter_n of_o his_o first_o canonical_a epistle_n hereby_o manifestlye_o be_v know_v the_o child_n of_o god_n from_o the_o child_n of_o the_o devyll_n for_o who_o so_o ever_o do_v not_o love_v his_o brother_n belong_v not_o unto_o god_n but_o the_o perverse_a nature_n of_o man_n corrupt_a with_o sin_n and_o destitute_a of_o god_n word_n and_o grace_n think_v it_o against_o all_o reason_n that_o a_o man_n shall_v love_v his_o enemy_n and_o have_v many_o persuasion_n which_o induce_v he_o to_o the_o contrary_n against_o all_o which_o reason_n we_o ought_v aswell_o to_o set_v the_o teaching_n as_o the_o lyve_a of_o our_o savioure_n christ_n who_o love_a we_o when_o we_o be_v his_o enemy_n do_v teach_v we_o to_o love_v our_o enemy_n he_o do_v patient_o take_v for_o we_o many_o reproach_n suffer_v beat_v and_o moo_v cruel_a death_n therefore_o we_o be_v no_o member_n of_o he_o if_o we_o will_v not_o follow_v he_o for_o

they_o that_o be_v their_o friend_n of_o who_o they_o have_v their_o lyve_a or_o any_o other_o benefyte_n but_o to_o love_v our_o enemy_n be_v the_o proper_a condition_n only_o of_o they_o that_o be_v the_o child_n of_o god_n the_o disciple_n and_o follower_n of_o christ_n notwithstanding_o man_n froward_a and_o corrupt_a nature_n weigh_v over_o deep_o many_o time_n the_o offence_n and_o

on_o the_o other_o side_n every_o man_n will_v consider_v what_o dyspleasure_n he_o have_v do_v to_o his_o enemy_n again_o &_o what_o pleasure_n he_o have_v receyve_v of_o his_o enemy_n and_o if_o we_o find_v no_o equal_a recompense_n neither_o in_o receyve_v pleasure_n of_o our_o enemy_n nor_o in_o render_a dyspleasure_n unto_o he_o again_o then_o let_v we_o ponder_v the_o displeasure_n which_o we_o have_v do_v against_o almighty_a god_n how_o often_o and_o how_o grevous_o we_o have_v offend_v he_o whereof_o if_o we_o will_v have_v of_o god_n forgyvenes_n there_o be_v none_o other_o
