and_o wish_v well_o to_o our_o very_a enemy_n and_o by_o express_v our_o sincere_a affection_n to_o all_o mankind_n 3._o these_o thing_n do_v natural_o carry_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o force_n with_o they_o so_o that_o if_o no_o obligation_n be_v upon_o we_o from_o any_o law_n to_o this_o purpose_n the_o divine_a excellence_n of_o these_o action_n will_v recommend_v they_o to_o our_o practice_n because_o they_o be_v godlike_a action_n and_o therefore_o must_v needs_o be_v of_o the_o high_a excellence_n in_o their_o own_o nature_n but_o beside_o this_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v yet_o in_o the_o three_o place_n how_o helpful_a a_o spirit_n of_o charity_n be_v to_o we_o in_o answer_v the_o great_a end_n of_o the_o new_a covenant_n the_o grace_n of_o god_n or_o the_o gospel_n that_o bring_v salvation_n have_v appear_v unto_o all_o man_n teach_v we_o that_o deny_v ungodliness_n and_o worldly_a lust_n we_o shall_v live_v sober_o righteous_o and_o godly_a in_o this_o present_a world_n tit._n 2._o 11_o 12._o which_o show_v that_o the_o design_n of_o the_o evangelical_n covenant_n be_v to_o reclaim_v mankind_n to_o the_o love_n and_o practice_n of_o all_o manner_n of_o virtue_n because_o god_n be_v a_o most_o perfect_a be_v himself_o of_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o rectitude_n in_o his_o nature_n his_o bless_a purpose_n be_v to_o imprint_v upon_o our_o soul_n his_o own_o image_n according_a to_o the_o capacity_n of_o our_o finite_a faculty_n and_o in_o order_n hereunto_o he_o have_v give_v we_o by_o his_o own_o son_n the_o brightness_n of_o his_o own_o glory_n not_o only_o the_o most_o excellent_a promise_n all_o confirm_v and_o seal_v with_o his_o blood_n upon_o the_o cross_n but_o moreover_o the_o most_o perfect_a example_n and_o the_o most_o perfective_a duty_n now_o of_o these_o duty_n this_o of_o universal_a charity_n and_o love_n be_v the_o chief_a for_o love_n be_v such_o a_o divine_a affection_n the_o fruit_n of_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v divine_a too_o if_o it_o be_v sincere_a and_o zealous_a as_o for_o instance_n if_o our_o love_n to_o god_n be_v pure_a and_o hearty_a it_o can_v but_o move_v we_o to_o a_o solicitous_a care_n of_o do_v nothing_o that_o be_v repugnant_a to_o god_n will_n and_o holiness_n because_o this_o affection_n be_v natural_o attend_v with_o a_o earnest_a desire_n to_o please_v and_o imitate_v its_o object_n or_o the_o party_n we_o entire_o love_v so_o also_o if_o a_o man_n love_n to_o himself_o be_v rational_a and_o regular_a it_o must_v needs_o put_v he_o upon_o do_v himself_o all_o the_o good_a especial_o all_o the_o spiritual_a good_a he_o can_v because_o his_o spiritual_a part_n the_o soul_n be_v to_o live_v for_o ever_o and_o therefore_o require_v his_o tender_a care_n that_o it_o may_v be_v everlasting_o happy_a the_o same_o inclination_n do_v true_a charity_n work_v in_o we_o towards_o all_o other_o man_n to_o be_v beneficial_a to_o they_o likewise_o for_o it_o always_o operate_v according_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o according_a to_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o object_n it_o can_v possible_o be_v of_o any_o advantage_n to_o our_o maker_n because_o he_o be_v out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o our_o charity_n and_o too_o high_a for_o it_o can_v a_o man_n be_v profitable_a unto_o god_n as_o he_o that_o be_v wise_a may_v be_v profitable_a unto_o himself_o be_v it_o any_o pleasure_n to_o the_o almighty_a that_o thou_o be_v righteous_a or_o be_v it_o gain_v to_o he_o that_o thou_o make_v thy_o way_n perfect_a job_n 22._o 2_o 3._o and_o again_o if_o thou_o be_v righteous_a what_o give_v thou_o he_o or_o what_o receive_v he_o of_o thy_o hand_n job_n 35._o 7._o no_o all_o our_o goodness_n extend_v not_o to_o he_o ps_n 16._o 2._o he_o neither_o need_v it_o nor_o be_v he_o capable_a of_o be_v benefit_v by_o it_o because_o he_o be_v infinite_o perfect_a and_o happy_a in_o himself_o but_o our_o love_n to_o god_n have_v this_o effect_n it_o make_v we_o admire_v and_o adore_v he_o serve_v and_o worship_n and_o endeavour_v to_o please_v he_o and_o to_o be_v like_a unto_o he_o and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o instrument_n of_o godliness_n as_o well_o as_o of_o sobriety_n and_o righteousness_n in_o this_o respect_n it_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o fulfil_v of_o the_o whole_a law_n even_o the_o first_o table_n of_o it_o though_o indeed_o it_o serve_v most_o direct_o to_o fulfil_v the_o second_o and_o thus_o the_o apostle_n argue_v rom._n 13._o 8_o 9_o 10._o he_o that_o love_v another_o have_v fulfil_v the_o law_n for_o this_o thou_o

other_o commandment_n it_o be_v brief_o comprehend_v in_o this_o say_n viz._n thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o love_n work_v no_o ill_a to_o his_o neighbour_n therefore_o love_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o law_n we_o can_v be_v injurious_a to_o our_o own_o soul_n or_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o mankind_n or_o to_o god_n himself_o but_o it_o must_v proceed_v from_o the_o want_n of_o those_o enlarge_a heart_n and_o those_o fervent_a and_o tender_a affection_n which_o the_o gospel_n require_v of_o we_o all_o here_o than_o we_o shall_v employ_v our_o great_a pain_n and_o use_v our_o utmost_a endeavour_n to_o kindle_v in_o we_o a_o true_a spirit_n of_o charity_n for_o it_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o commandment_n 1_o tim._n 1._o 5._o and_o because_o it_o be_v the_o most_o

great_a of_o these_o be_v charity_n the_o great_a not_o only_o because_o it_o be_v most_o profitable_a to_o other_o which_o the_o other_o two_o virtue_n be_v not_o for_o faith_n and_o hope_n keep_v
