you_o even_o so_o ought_v you_o to_o love_v one_o another_o how_o be_v that_o why_o christ_n love_v you_o free_o in_o opposition_n to_o all_o the_o injury_n you_o have_v do_v unto_o he_o it_o be_v

be_v a_o pray_a love_n say_v one_o i_o never_o love_v any_o man_n till_o i_o have_v pray_v for_o he_o in_o particular_a true_a love_n i_o say_v be_v a_o pray_a love_n and_o true_a love_n be_v a_o love_n at_o all_o time_n at_o one_o time_n as_o well_o as_o another_o and_o a_o man_n that_o love_v true_o declare_v that_o he_o be_v loosen_a from_o the_o world_n and_o that_o he_o be_v one_o that_o

we_o be_v thus_o of_o one_o heart_n and_o of_o one_o mind_n it_o do_v declare_v that_o we_o have_v be_v wrought_v upon_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o certain_o there_o be_v a_o great_a mistake_n in_o man_n love_n all_o man_n say_v they_o love_v the_o saint_n they_o love_v they_o in_o word_n though_o i_o be_o afraid_a many_o love_n they_o but_o little_a in_o their_o heart_n but_o you_o will_v say_v how_o far_o be_v our_o love_n to_o be_v exercise_v upon_o who_o and_o how_o far_o i_o say_v no_o more_o but_o this_o so_o far_o as_o the_o word_n brethren_n do_v extend_v so_o far_o this_o union_n and_o love_n ought_v to_o go_v behold_v how_o good_a and_o how_o pleasant_a it_o be_v for_o brethren_n to_o dwell_v together_o in_o unity_n so_o far_o i_o say_v as_o this_o word_n brethren_n extend_v and_o that_o be_v so_o far_o as_o god_n be_v their_o father_n it_o matter_n not_o for_o opinion_n or_o what_o judgement_n they_o be_v of_o if_o god_n be_v their_o father_n they_o be_v your_o brethren_n and_o be_v to_o be_v belove_v by_o you_o and_o so_o far_o be_v your_o love_n to_o reach_v and_o extend_v but_o you_o will_v say_v wherein_o do_v this_o love_n consist_v why_o in_o these_o three_o thing_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o judgement_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o affection_n in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o practice_n first_o in_o the_o matter_n of_o our_o

matter_n of_o our_o practice_n read_v the_o 3._o verse_n of_o this_o chapter_n for_o i_o say_v through_o the_o grace_n give_v unto_o i_o to_o every_o man_n that_o be_v among_o you_o not_o to_o think_v of_o himself_o more_o high_o than_o he_o ought_v to_o think_v but_o to_o think_v sober_o according_a as_o god_n have_v deal_v to_o every_o man_n the_o measure_n of_o faith_n thus_o you_o see_v how_o we_o shall_v act_v as_o to_o our_o judgement_n affection_n and_o practice_n one_o towards_o another_o but_o you_o will_v say_v if_o this_o be_v so_o then_o how_o much_o be_v our_o love_n want_v one_o towards_o another_o but_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v that_o our_o love_n to_o one_o another_o may_v be_v more_o knit_v together_o what_o shall_v we_o do_v that_o we_o may_v advance_v and_o rise_v to_o this_o holy_a agreement_n both_o in_o our_o own_o heart_n and_o other_o for_o answer_v hereunto_o take_v these_o direction_n first_o be_v serious_a in_o this_o work_n and_o lay_v aside_o the_o former_a hindrance_n of_o your_o love_n and_o your_o former_a division_n and_o let_v not_o any_o of_o you_o say_v this_o be_v the_o fault_n and_o that_o be_v the_o fault_n and_o such_o a_o one_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o and_o such_o a_o one_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o it_o no_o but_o lay_v the_o salt_n on_o yourselves_o lay_v it_o upon_o yourselves_o and_o not_o upon_o other_o and_o say_v it_o be_v i_o the_o lord_n know_v it_o be_v i_o it_o be_v i_o that_o have_v raise_v this_o storm_n and_o say_v as_o david_n i_o have_v sin_v i_o have_v sin_v let_v not_o your_o former_a division_n

have_v sin_v and_o second_o if_o you_o do_v desire_n to_o be_v serious_a in_o this_o work_n then_o do_v you_o desire_v peace_n and_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a live_v at_o peace_n with_o all_o man_n the_o same_o word_n that_o be_v use_v in_o the_o original_n for_o persecutor_n be_v also_o use_v for_o peace_n to_o show_v that_o we_o shall_v follow_v after_o it_o with_o might_n and_o main_a as_o persecutor_n follow_v those_o they_o persecute_v and_o that_o if_o possible_a we_o shall_v live_v at_o peace_n with_o all_o three_o be_v sure_o you_o strengthen_v your_o love_n love_n must_v be_v strengthen_v else_o this_o union_n can_v continue_v it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o love_n to_o interpret_v love_n in_o the_o best_a sense_n to_o interpret_v thing_n well_o four_o it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o love_n to_o speak_v high_o of_o the_o person_n or_o thing_n belove_v where_o there_o be_v a_o unite_n and_o a_o sweet_a agreement_n there_o love_n will_v speak_v high_a thing_n of_o each_o other_o five_o the_o property_n of_o love_n be_v to_o cover_v the_o infirmity_n of_o those_o they_o love_v and_o indeed_o how_o can_v there_o be_v any_o agreement_n if_o infirmity_n be_v not_o cover_v it_o be_v the_o property_n of_o love_n to_o give_v no_o offence_n nor_o to_o take_v any_o and_o it_o be_v a_o great_a sign_n that_o there_o be_v no_o agreement_n nor_o no_o love_n when_o people_n be_v so_o apt_a to_o give_v offence_n and_o to_o take_v offence_n for_o true_a love_n be_v apt_a to_o do_v neither_o but_o to_o take_v all_o in_o good_a part_n six_o true_a love_n know_v how_o to_o give_v and_o how_o to_o take_v admonition_n and_o thus_o you_o have_v hear_v what_o love_n will_v do_v therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o to_o strengthen_v your_o love_n to_o one_o another_o yea_o i_o beseech_v you_o in_o the_o lord_n to_o increase_v it_o more_o

be_v a_o gospel_n of_o peace_n let_v your_o conversation_n be_v as_o become_v the_o gospel_n that_o you_o be_v of_o one_o spirit_n and_o of_o one_o mind_n so_o i_o say_v this_o holy_a agreement_n be_v every_o way_n suitable_a and_o therefore_o the_o more_o pleasant_a and_o delightful_a and_o so_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v unto_o we_o second_o as_o it_o be_v pleasant_a and_o delightful_a so_o it_o be_v a_o profitable_a good_a behold_v how_o good_a a_o thing_n it_o be_v it_o be_v very_o profitable_a for_o be_v it_o not_o profitable_a for_o the_o dew_n to_o fall_v upon_o hermon_n and_o upon_o the_o hill_n of_o zion_n to_o make_v they_o fruitful_a why_o such_o be_v the_o dew_n of_o holy_a agreement_n when_o it_o fall_v upon_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o this_o do_v make_v man_n increase_v and_o multiply_v in_o the_o church_n and_o to_o be_v fruitful_a in_o good_a work_n the_o psalmist_n say_v god_n command_v his_o blessing_n and_o when_o god_n bless_v we_o shall_v certain_o increase_v and_o multiply_v and_o this_o i_o say_v do_v increase_v the_o church_n and_o hereby_o be_v the_o saint_n both_o increase_v and_o delight_v by_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n on_o they_o they_o do_v increase_v in_o thing_n that_o be_v good_a and_o profitable_a and_o this_o be_v the_o thing_n which_o christ_n pray_v for_o yea_o pray_v for_o again_o and_o again_o yea_o as_o i_o say_v it_o be_v the_o great_a thing_n which_o christ_n have_v command_v a_o new_a command_n etc._n etc._n be_v it_o not_o therefore_o good_a and_o profitable_a to_o love_v one_o another_o again_o this_o be_v the_o mercy_n and_o the_o grace_n that_o be_v promise_v special_o in_o the_o latter_a time_n glorious_a thing_n be_v speak_v of_o and_o promise_v to_o the_o last_o day_n and_o this_o be_v one_o of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v promise_v and_o if_o so_o it_o be_v then_o certain_o good_a and_o profitable_a again_o this_o be_v the_o legacy_n which_o christ_n leave_v with_o his_o disciple_n and_o people_n say_v he_o peace_n i_o leave_v with_o you_o my_o peace_n i_o give_v unto_o you_o not_o as_o the_o world_n give_v give_v i_o unto_o you_o john_n 14.27_o and_o therefore_o sure_o this_o agreement_n among_o brethren_n be_v very_o good_a and_o profitable_a again_o certain_o it_o be_v good_a and_o profitable_a to_o walk_v worthy_a of_o the_o high_a call_n to_o which_o christ_n have_v call_v we_o as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v eph._n 4.1_o 2_o 3._o i_o beseech_v you_o to_o walk_v worthy_a of_o the_o vocation_n wherewith_o you_o be_v call_v with_o all_o lowliness_n and_o meekness_n with_o long_a suffering_n forbear_v one_o another_o in_o love_n endeavour_v to_o keep_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o spirit_n in_o the_o bond_n of_o peace_n etc._n etc._n again_o be_v it_o not_o good_a and_o profitable_a that_o our_o prayer_n shall_v be_v hear_v that_o god_n shall_v hear_v and_o grant_v our_o request_n and_o prayer_n why_o look_v into_o the_o scripture_n and_o you_o will_v find_v that_o our_o love_n be_v a_o help_n to_o our_o prayer_n it_o be_v a_o help_n unto_o we_o whereby_o to_o have_v our_o prayer_n hear_v and_o answer_v again_o be_v it_o not_o good_a and_o profitable_a for_o a_o man_n to_o know_v that_o he_o be_v a_o child_n of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o have_v a_o interest_n in_o christ_n why_o look_v into_o 1_o john_n 3.14_o we_o know_v that_o we_o have_v pass_v from_o death_n unto_o life_n because_o we_o love_v the_o brethren_n there_o be_v a_o day_n of_o death_n of_o natural_a death_n whereby_o man_n shall_v pass_v from_o life_n to_o death_n and_o there_o be_v likewise_o a_o time_n of_o spiritual_a life_n when_o a_o man_n pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n now_o how_o shall_v i_o know_v whether_o i_o be_o pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n why_o if_o i_o love_v the_o brethren_n yea_o say_v christ_n hereby_o shall_v all_o know_v that_o you_o be_v my_o disciple_n if_o you_o love_v one_o another_o not_o only_a yourselves_o shall_v know_v it_o but_o

shall_v know_v that_o you_o be_v pass_v from_o death_n to_o life_n and_o hereby_o you_o shall_v not_o only_o know_v yourselves_o to_o be_v christ_n disciple_n but_o other_o shall_v know_v it_o also_o and_o if_o it_o be_v so_o then_o certain_o it_o must_v be_v good_a and_o profitable_a again_o this_o will_v give_v a_o relish_n and_o a_o savour_n to_o all_o your_o enjoyment_n it_o be_v the_o salt_n
