that_o we_o can_v not_o find_v in_o our_o heart_n to_o forgive_v they_o sure_o even_o this_o because_o we_o do_v only_o look_v upon_o the_o hurt_n do_v unto_o we_o we_o muse_v upon_o that_o we_o make_v much_o ado_n about_o that_o and_o so_o marveilous_o weigh_v what_o loss_n we_o have_v by_o it_o on_o every_o side_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a while_n we_o do_v not_o consider_v the_o soul_n of_o he_o that_o do_v we_o the_o injury_n continue_v in_o impenitency_n for_o than_o we_o shall_v be_v drive_v to_o pity_v he_o for_o the_o danger_n before_o god_n and_o not_o hate_v he_o for_o our_o loss_n before_o man_n the_o want_n of_o this_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n then_o why_o we_o be_v so_o hateful_a and_o malicious_a towards_o our_o enemy_n which_o have_v injury_v we_o because_o we_o look_v upon_o our_o own_o harm_n and_o not_o on_o the_o harm_n of_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n before_o god_n but_o we_o must_v do_v it_o certain_o the_o lord_n jesus_n command_v we_o pray_v for_o your_o enemy_n do_v good_a to_o they_o that_o hate_v you_o and_o here_o bid_v we_o love_n as_o he_o love_v we_o even_o enemy_n to_o he_o well_o then_o good_a brethren_n thus_o you_o have_v hear_v how_o by_o the_o love_n that_o christ_n love_v we_o we_o be_v teach_v to_o frame_v our_o love_n one_o towards_o another_o even_o towards_o our_o enemy_n in_o pity_v they_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o they_o may_v be_v bring_v to_o amendment_n not_o for_o the_o hurt_n do_v unto_o we_o but_o for_o the_o avoid_v of_o the_o hurt_n of_o their_o soul_n i_o have_v be_v somewhat_o more_o long_o in_o this_o matter_n of_o love_n towards_o our_o enemy_n because_o i_o know_v it_o be_v so_o hard_a a_o matter_n for_o flesh_n and_o blood_n to_o be_v satisfy_v in_o this_o point_n to_o stay_v from_o revengement_n it_o be_v marvellous_a near_o grow_v into_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n and_o therefore_o it_o must_v be_v more_o careful_o take_v heed_n of_o we_o and_o we_o must_v bend_v our_o force_n more_o to_o resist_v it_o and_o so_o shall_v we_o not_o only_o be_v hearer_n of_o this_o lesson_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n but_o also_o follower_n of_o the_o same_o and_o yet_o further_o when_o he_o say_v that_o we_o must_v love_v one_o another_o as_o he_o love_v we_o he_o give_v we_o to_o understand_v that_o our_o love_n must_v be_v sincere_a without_o respect_n of_o gain_n or_o advantage_n such_o

no_o our_o love_n must_v not_o be_v so_o but_o it_o must_v be_v as_o christ_n love_v we_o which_o be_v not_o for_o any_o great_a gain_n i_o trow_v that_o he_o hope_v to_o get_v at_o our_o hand_n and_o yet_o this_o be_v so_o common_a among_o we_o as_o be_v marvellous_a there_o be_v scarce_o find_v among_o we_o any_o other_o love_n then_o that_o which_o be_v for_o gain_v a_o lamentable_a thing_n if_o
