for our owne offences towards them with great care yea 3 Cor. 7 11 with clearing of our selues yea with indignation yea with f●are yea with great desire yea with zeale yea with punishment for reconciliation till the strong Citie bee wonne and one contentions though as harde to breake as the barre of a pallace be yet broken a sunder and our selues reunited in the loue of brethren So all at the last was forgiuen and forgotten betweene Ioseph and his brethren and their loue brast out in teares and they wept and reioyced and kissed and embraced and theyr hearts were comforted in the loue of brethren Gen. 45 The second consideration which we haue of our loue is the encrease of the same Of the which the Apostle in the fourth of the first to the Thessalonians 1. Thes 4 9 14 writeth thus But as touching brotherly lo●● fayeth hee yee neede not that I write vnto you for ye are taught of God to loue one another Yea and that thing verelie yee doo vnto all the brethren which are throughout all Macedonia but wee beseech you brethren that you increase more and more VVee are not therefore to stande at a stay in loue but still to walke forwarde from loue to loue For this is the way of the righteous and of it Salomon sayeth in the fourth of the Prouerbs Prou. 4.18 The way of the righteous shyneth as the light that shyneth more and more vnto the perfect day And the right loue of brethren is as fire which still increaseth and inflameth them with a certaine naturall affection and inclination to embrace one another of which the Apostle in the twelfth to the Romans saith Rom. 12 10 Bee affectioned to loue one another with brotherly loue And this affection or inclination cannot stay it self vntill it come to the highest degree of loue and leadeth vs to that which Peter requireth in the first Chapter of this Epistle namelie 1 Pet 1 22 That wee loue one another out of a pure heart vehementlie or as our English translation giueth it Feruentlie with all the heart and with all the soule and with all the might and so our loue become zeale which hath eaten vs vp we all in a zeale do loue the brethren Which condemneth my brethren the loue of these times the last I thinke in which it is come to passe as our Sauiour foretold that because iniquitie shall abounde the loue of manie yea manie brethren I had almost said towards brethren is waxen colde But to come to the third and last point whether wee loue little or whether wee loue much according to the measure of grace which wee haue receiued let vs yet loue purely and that loue which wee haue let it bee loue in deede Not euerie one sayeth Christ that sayth vnto me Lorde Mat. 7 22. Lorde that is which professeth himselfe my seruaunt shall enter into the Kingdome of Heauen but hee that dooth the will of my Father which is in Heauen Not euerie one that sayeth Brother Brother shall haue the prayse of true loue but hee that will doo for his brother indeede 2. Sam. 20 9 10. Not as Ioab which saluted Amasa and sayde Art thou in health my brother Faigned loue and hee tooke Amasa by the ●eard with the right hand to kisse him But with his sword he smote him in the fifth rib and shedde out his bowelles to the ●round This was not loue but dissimulation which ought to bee farre from the loue of brethren So the Apostle commaundeth in the twelfth to the Romās Let loue saith he be without dissimulation Rom. 12 9 And Peter in the first Chapter of this Epistle requireth brotherly loue vnfaigned 1. Pet. 1 22 VVith brotherly loue vnfaigned saith hee not of a pure heart loue ye one another feruently Therefore this loue which kisseth killeth which marrieth and burieth all in a day is not worthy of mention with the loue of brethren No nor a better loue then this Idle loue a better I call it because it doth no harme and yet is not good inough because it dooth no good If a brother or asister saith Iames be naked Iam. 2 15 16 and destitute of daily foode and one of you say vnto him Depart in peace beeye warmed and be yee filled not withstanding yee giue them not those things that are needefull for the body what helpeth it This lip-loue Saint Iames refuseth and Saint Iohn wil none of it saying in his first Epistle and third Chapter My little children let vs not loue in word neither in tongue onely but in deede and in truth 1 Ioan. 3 18 As if there were no trueth in loue without the deede if do it can and doth it not And yet againe there is another loue not aright which doth some good and leadeth to some duties which are profitable but not for loue sake but because wee receiued some good before or may receiue profit by the fame againe And this we may call a seruile loue Seruile loue because it worketh for wages and nothing els and is no better as our Sauiour teacheth vs but that sinners and Publicans may haue the like Matth 5 46 47. Luke 6 32 33. But to leaue these loues which are none of ours to note that which indeede the Apostle meaneth Simple loue it is a simple loue pure voyde of all respects loueth the brethren for the brethrens sake Of which we may say as Salomō speaketh in the fourteenth of Prouerbs of the sense and iudgement of the mind towards mirth or mourning The mind saith hee acknowledgeth his own bitternes Prou. 14 10 or what is better to it selfe and in the mirth therof no strange thing doth mixt it selfe That is it trieth al things and taketh what it loueth leaueth what it liketh not And euen so this loue of brethren it hath her proper iudgemēt nothing it aloweth but what is like hir self It admitteth no respects of rich or poore wise or vnwise strong or weak profitable or vnprofitable but looketh to the brotherbood or cōpany of brethren as Peter requireth in the name of brethrē as Christ speaketh in the tenth of Matthew Matth. 10 that is as brethren and in the onely nature of Brethren it embraceth them and nothing in them besides Paul saluteth Timothie thus Vnto Timothie my naturall Sonne in the faith 1. Tim. 1 2 so calling him because he had a true and a naturall faith For there is a naturall faith which bringeth foorth a naturall loue of which wee speake and there is a bastard faith of which is ingendred a bastard loue of false Brethren These also are amongst vs but they are not of vs and how little worth their loue is I neede not speake the white of in egge or a sticke hath as much tast as it And these as they lie in out way needes wee must deale with them
