in_o that_o respect_n the_o command_n of_o love_n as_o deliver_v by_o christ_n seem_v no_o doubt_n to_o the_o jew_n and_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o new_a commandment_n but_o there_o be_v two_o other_o

be_v the_o same_o command_n of_o love_n which_o be_v now_o and_o be_v in_o the_o law_n enjoin_v but_o the_o example_n be_v different_a in_o the_o law_n our_o love_n to_o ourselves_o in_o the_o d._n gospel_n christ_n love_n to_o we_o be_v make_v the_o pattern_n of_o this_o duty_n indeed_o this_o variety_n of_o example_n make_v no_o difference_n at_o all_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o the_o precept_n when_o moses_n say_v thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o he_o require_v as_o much_o as_o when_o christ_n say_v love_v one_o another_o as_o i_o have_v love_v you_o that_o of_o st_n

only_o press_v it_o hereby_o with_o the_o great_a energy_n not_o be_v we_o to_o conceive_v any_o new_a addition_n to_o the_o general_a precept_n of_o love_n but_o only_o a_o full_a enforcement_n of_o the_o same_o precept_n from_o this_o new_a example_n look_v as_o the_o jewish_a and_o the_o christian_a sabbath_n be_v both_o day_n to_o be_v keep_v holy_a but_o on_o a_o different_a account_n the_o one_o of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o the_o other_o of_o christ_n resurrection_n so_o the_o jewish_a and_o the_o christian_a command_n of_o love_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n but_o the_o one_o urge_v by_o the_o example_n of_o self-love_n and_o the_o other_o of_o christ_n and_o because_o the_o gospel-command_a be_v enforce_v with_o a_o new_a argument_n and_o so_o deliver_v in_o a_o new_a manner_n it_o may_v therefore_o be_v style_v a_o new_a commandment_n nor_o be_v it_o unlikely_a that_o st_n john_n have_v before_o in_o general_n exhort_v to_o walk_v as_o christ_n walk_v here_o particularise_v in_o this_o walk_n of_o love_n may_v call_v it_o a_o new_a commandment_n in_o this_o respect_n as_o it_o be_v a_o imitation_n of_o christ_n pattern_n 4._o but_o there_o be_v yet_o another_o interpretation_n which_o want_v not_o good_a authority_n and_o reason_n to_o back_o it_o and_o will_v not_o be_v pass_v by_o and_o that_o be_v to_o take_v new_a not_o in_o opposition_n
