say_v this_o do_v and_o thou_o shall_v live_v that_o be_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o soul_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n with_o all_o thy_o mind_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o

all_o the_o faculty_n of_o our_o reasonable_a nature_n and_o by_o this_o we_o be_v teach_v not_o only_o to_o love_v he_o very_o ardent_o but_o above_o all_o other_o thing_n as_o be_v our_o creator_n and_o great_a benefactor_n upon_o who_o we_o depend_v every_o moment_n and_o from_o who_o we_o receive_v all_o the_o good_a that_o we_o enjoy_v and_o from_o who_o bounty_n we_o expect_v all_o that_o

show_v love_v ardent_o oftentimes_o without_o consider_v whether_o the_o object_n of_o their_o love_n be_v worthy_a of_o it_o but_o to_o love_v with_o the_o mind_n and_o the_o soul_n as_o well_o as_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o to_o love_v so_o but_o to_o love_v with_o the_o understanding_n rational_o as_o well_o as_o passionate_o and_o we_o can_v love_v god_n with_o our_o soul_n and_o with_o our_o mind_n that_o be_v with_o the_o application_n of_o our_o understanding_n and_o with_o a_o reasonable_a love_n without_o love_v he_o above_o all_o his_o creature_n because_o he_o be_v infinite_o more_o lovely_a and_o every_o one_o reason_n when_o he_o consult_v it_o must_v always_o assent_v that_o he_o be_v so_o the_o duty_n then_o that_o we_o be_v teach_v be_v plain_o what_o reason_n require_v

also_o plain_o practicable_a and_o what_o we_o may_v know_v whether_o we_o perform_v or_o no_o by_o ask_v ourselves_o whether_o we_o be_v willing_a to_o part_v with_o any_o other_o good_a for_o the_o

worthy_a of_o he_o but_o that_o whosoever_o part_n with_o any_o of_o these_o for_o the_o gospel_n sake_n shall_v receive_v manifold_a reward_n both_o in_o this_o life_n and_o in_o the_o world_n to_o come_v now_o if_o none_o of_o these_o be_v allow_v to_o be_v desirable_a to_o we_o but_o to_o be_v only_a object_n of_o our_o charity_n as_o mr._n n._n say_v they_o ought_v to_o be_v why_o shall_v we_o deserve_v so_o great_a reward_n for_o forsake_v of_o they_o for_o god_n sake_n and_o why_o shall_v our_o saviour_n as_o he_o plain_o do_v confirm_v the_o desireableness_n of_o these_o thing_n to_o we_o if_o they_o be_v not_o in_o some_o degree_n allow_v to_o be_v desire_v but_o mr._n n._n say_v we_o be_v command_v to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o and_o that_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o we_o do_v not_o love_v ourselves_o with_o a_o love_n of_o desire_n therefore_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o love_v our_o neighbour_n so_o moses_n in_o levit._n nineteeen_o from_o whence_o the_o above_o cite_a text_n be_v take_v have_v rehearse_v divers_a other_o law_n to_o the_o people_n come_v to_o tell_v they_o what_o they_o owe_v to_o their_o neighbour_n which_o he_o do_v from_o the_o 13_o to_o the_o 18_o verse_n with_o which_o he_o thus_o conclude_v thou_o shall_v not_o avenge_v nor_o bear_v any_o grudge_n against_o the_o child_n of_o thy_o people_n but_o thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o the_o sense_n of_o these_o word_n can_v not_o be_v mistake_v by_o any_o one_o who_o be_v not_o prepossess_v with_o a_o hypothesis_n which_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o support_v from_o scripture_n authority_n for_o moses_n have_v tell_v the_o people_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o defraud_v their_o neighbour_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o mock_v at_o his_o infirmity_n that_o they_o shall_v not_o oppress_v he_o but_o judge_v in_o righteousness_n not_o respect_v the_o person_n of_o the_o poor_a or_o the_o rich_a that_o they_o shall_v not_o only_o not_o stand_v against_o the_o blood_n of_o their_o neighbour_n but_o also_o not_o hate_v he_o in_o their_o heart_n and_o further_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o only_o take_v care_n of_o his_o temporal_a welfare_n but_o also_o of_o his_o spiritual_a by_o rebuke_v he_o when_o he_o sin_n and_o likewise_o be_v so_o far_o from_o avenge_a themselves_o when_o injure_v by_o he_o that_o they_o shall_v not_o so_o much_o as_o bear_v a_o grudge_n against_o he_o he_o conclude_v all_o with_o that_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v the_o spring_n from_o which_o all_o these_o good_a office_n to_o our_o neighbour_n shall_v proceed_v and_o which_o in_o short_a full_o teach_v we_o the_o extent_n of_o our_o duty_n to_o he_o thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o that_o be_v plain_o that_o as_o we_o love_v ourselves_o and_o from_o that_o principle_n of_o love_n do_v good_a to_o ourselves_o so_o we_o shall_v also_o love_v our_o neighbour_n and_o from_o that_o principle_n of_o love_n to_o he_o shall_v do_v he_o all_o the_o good_a that_o we_o can_v not_o only_o bare_o perform_v towards_o he_o the_o outward_a act_n of_o those_o duty_n here_o enjoin_v or_o any_o other_o but_o perform_v they_o upon_o the_o same_o principle_n of_o delight_n and_o complaisance_n in_o his_o well_o be_v which_o we_o have_v in_o our_o own_o without_o which_o all_o our_o performance_n will_v be_v defective_a we_o must_v here_o consider_v moses_n speak_v either_o as_o a_o lawgiver_n or_o as_o a_o philosopher_n if_o as_o the_o first_o then_o without_o doubt_n he_o must_v be_v think_v to_o have_v speak_v so_o as_o the_o people_n who_o he_o speak_v to_o can_v the_o easy_a apprehend_v he_o and_o the_o whole_a scope_n of_o his_o discourse_n make_v the_o abovementioned_a sense_n of_o his_o word_n plain_o the_o most_o obvious_a meaning_n of_o they_o viz._n that_o as_o people_n love_v themselves_o and_o upon_o that_o principle_n of_o love_n do_v good_a to_o themselves_o so_o also_o it_o be_v their_o duty_n to_o love_v their_o neighbour_n without_o which_o they_o can_v discharge_v what_o they_o owe_v to_o he_o neither_o can_v any_o other_o sense_n be_v put_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o moses_n thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o without_o the_o learned_a distinction_n of_o love_n of_o benevolence_n and_o love_n of_o concupiscence_n which_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o believe_v that_o mr._n n_n or_o any_o one_o else_o can_v think_v many_o if_o any_o of_o the_o israelite_n be_v acquaint_v with_o though_o if_o he_o can_v suppose_v they_o have_v be_v so_o and_o that_o moses_n himself_o have_v have_v regard_n to_o it_o and_o have_v also_o philosophised_a as_o ill_a as_o the_o people_n i_o wonder_v mr._n n._n shall_v not_o see_v that_o it_o will_v yet_o make_v nothing_o to_o his_o purpose_n since_o moses_n be_v not_o here_o tell_v they_o all_o that_o they_o lawful_o may_v do_v but_o all_o that_o they_o necessary_o must_v do_v not_o to_o fail_v in_o their_o duty_n but_o if_o mr._n n._n have_v rather_o moses_n shall_v be_v consider_v here_o speak_v as_o a_o philosopher_n according_a to_o and_o instruct_v the_o people_n in_o the_o true_a nature_n of_o thing_n as_o well_o as_o lay_v down_o precept_n for_o they_o to_o obey_v it_o be_v then_o more_o evident_a that_o the_o word_n of_o moses_n will_v not_o only_o not_o comply_v with_o the_o sense_n he_o put_v upon_o they_o but_o also_o that_o they_o be_v opposite_a to_o it_o for_o moses_n say_v thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o neighbour_n as_o thyself_o that_o be_v thou_o shall_v take_v the_o same_o complaisance_n in_o the_o be_v and_o well_o be_v of_o thy_o neighbour_n as_o in_o thy_o own_o now_o it_o be_v manifest_o impossible_a and_o contradictious_a that_o we_o shall_v rejoice_v and_o take_v complaisance_n in_o
