his_o neighbour_n have_v fulfil_v the_o law_n what_o great_a praise_n may_v be_v utter_v or_o speak_v of_o any_o other_o virtue_n beside_o all_o this_o the_o most_o belove_a disciple_n of_o christ_n i_o mean_v john_n in_o his_o canonical_a epistle_n do_v repeat_v nothing_o so_o often_o neither_o commend_v any_o thing_n so_o much_o as_o this_o virtue_n and_o that_o he_o teach_v in_o his_o

galathian_o yea_o when_o he_o be_v conversant_a among_o the_o disciple_n he_o will_v often_o and_o sundry_a time_n on_o one_o day_n repeat_v it_o and_o when_o he_o be_v demand_v why_o he_o repeat_v it_o so_o often_o he_o answer_v the_o demaunder_n because_o it_o be_v the_o precept_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o if_o it_o alone_o be_v do_v it_o be_v sufficient_a ¶_o of_o the_o duty_n of_o charity_n he_o therefore_o that_o will_v satisfy_v the_o divine_a will_n let_v he_o assure_o know_v that_o among_o all_o the_o principal_a matter_n that_o god_n command_v there_o be_v not_o one_o so_o much_o

to_o have_v annex_v unto_o it_o all_o the_o effect_n which_o be_v wont_a to_o concur_v with_o true_a love_n for_o otherwise_o it_o be_v not_o worthy_a of_o the_o name_n of_o love_n 3_o as_o the_o

god_n in_o he_o my_o babe_n let_v we_o not_o love_v in_o word_n neither_o in_o tongue_n but_o in_o deed_n and_o in_o verity_n therefore_o under_o the_o name_n of_o love_n among_o many_o other_o

that_o as_o any_o one_o have_v more_o or_o few_o of_o they_o he_o have_v more_o or_o less_o charity_n this_o we_o say_v to_o this_o end_n because_o there_o be_v find_v some_o who_o say_v i_o love_v but_o their_o love_n have_v no_o effect_n but_o the_o name_n only_o there_o be_v other_o who_o love_n and_o by_o good_a admonition_n and_o counsel_n do_v give_v some_o relish_n of_o it_o but_o they_o

nor_o follow_v the_o counsel_n of_o the_o apostle_n who_o say_v 6._o bear_v you_o one_o another_o burden_n &_o so_o fulfil_v the_o law_n of_o christ._n some_o bear_v patient_o the_o injury_n offer_v unto_o they_o but_o they_o do_v not_o pardon_v merciful_o he_o that_o have_v injure_v they_o and_o although_o in_o their_o heart_n they_o bear_v no_o hate_n yet_o outward_o they_o do_v not_o show_v

neither_o do_v they_o come_v to_o the_o perfection_n of_o this_o virtue_n there_o be_v some_o that_o have_v all_o the_o foresaid_a effect_n but_o they_o edify_v their_o neighbour_n neither_o with_o

that_o thou_o may_v be_v lift_v high_a and_o high_o and_o that_o thou_o may_v not_o stick_v in_o low_a matter_n but_o if_o thou_o shall_v ask_v i_o how_o thou_o may_v be_v induce_v with_o such_o a_o

the_o workmanshyp_n of_o his_o hand_n &_o his_o son_n and_o the_o lively_a member_n of_o christ._n hence_o it_o be_v that_o saint_n paul_n so_o often_o admonish_v we_o that_o all_o we_o be_v the_o
