all_o the_o epistle_n of_o paul_n and_o therefore_o i_o forbear_v to_o speak_v any_o thing_n of_o it_o 2._o the_o introduction_n by_o which_o the_o apostle_n fall_v upon_o his_o scope_n and_o upon_o his_o work_n that_o he_o have_v to_o do_v with_o timothy_n in_o this_o epistle_n it_o contain_v a_o sweet_a expression_n of_o the_o tender_a love_n and_o affection_n which_o paul_n bear_v to_o timothy_n and_o this_o he_o show_v 1._o to_o be_v a_o great_a love_n 2._o to_o be_v a_o well_o ground_a love_n 3._o to_o be_v a_o grow_a and_o continue_v love_n these_o three_o circumstance_n be_v special_o observable_a he_o prove_v that_o it_o be_v great_a and_o though_o it_o be_v great_a he_o approve_v it_o to_o be_v well_o ground_v and_o in_o the_o last_o place_n he_o do_v improve_v it_o and_o make_v use_v of_o this_o love_n to_o stir_v up_o timothy_n to_o a_o improvement_n in_o all_o piety_n 1._o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o apostle_n love_n be_v express_v and_o prove_v and_o demonstrate_v by_o a_o double_a fruit_n of_o it_o 1._o we_o have_v one_o fruit_n of_o this_o excellent_a love_n of_o paul_n to_o timothy_n in_o the_o three_o verse_n immediate_o after_o the_o salutation_n contain_v in_o the_o two_o former_a and_o it_o be_v a_o earnest_a prayer_n for_o the_o good_a of_o timothy_n remember_v of_o he_o in_o his_o absence_n though_o he_o be_v distant_a far_o in_o place_n and_o person_n yet_o there_o be_v a_o solder_v that_o hold_v he_o to_o timothy_n that_o join_v he_o to_o timothy_n and_o make_v he_o to_o present_v he_o to_o god_n in_o his_o prayer_n continual_o if_o you_o will_v read_v the_o verse_n you_o have_v it_o very_o emphatical_o express_v in_o three_o very_a choice_n circumstance_n i_o thank_v god_n who_o i_o serve_v from_o my_o elder_n with_o pure_a conscience_n that_o without_o cease_v i_o have_v remembrance_n of_o thou_o in_o my_o prayer_n night_n and_o day_n 1._o he_o pray_v for_o he_o night_n and_o day_n in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o the_o verse_n 2._o night_n and_o day_n without_o cease_v without_o interruption_n or_o intermission_n and_o he_o do_v it_o with_o so_o much_o strength_n and_o tenderness_n of_o affection_n as_o chrysostom_n upon_o that_o place_n observe_v {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o {non-roman}_o it_o be_v a_o very_a hyperbolical_a love_n which_o the_o apostle_n show_v to_o timothy_n in_o that_o he_o do_v bless_v god_n that_o he_o pray_v for_o he_o i_o thank_v god_n and_o he_o bless_v god_n which_o be_v a_o argument_n of_o very_o sweet_a love_n and_o tender_a affection_n of_o his_o heart_n work_v towards_o the_o good_a of_o timothy_n remember_v he_o continual_o in_o his_o prayer_n 2._o there_o be_v a_o second_o fruit_n of_o this_o love_n by_o which_o the_o apostle_n demonstrate_v the_o greatness_n of_o his_o love_n and_o that_o be_v in_o the_o four_o verse_n desire_v to_o see_v thou_o there_o be_v a_o strong_a attractive_a between_o christian_a and_o christian_a that_o do_v know_v one_o another_o that_o draw_v they_o strong_o together_o and_o prevail_v against_o all_o distance_n of_o place_n so_o as_o they_o do_v not_o only_o remember_v but_o they_o do_v make_v out_o towards_o the_o enjoyment_n one_o of_o another_o company_n and_o this_o paul_n demonstrate_v to_o timothy_n and_o it_o be_v express_v emphatical_o as_o though_o much_o of_o paul_n comfort_n and_o much_o of_o the_o happiness_n and_o sweetness_n of_o his_o life_n do_v depend_v on_o the_o enjoyment_n of_o timothy_n that_o i_o may_v be_v fill_v with_o joy_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v he_o shall_v be_v full_a of_o joy_n in_o his_o presence_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o circumstance_n viz._n the_o greatness_n of_o his_o love_n express_v by_o his_o prayer_n for_o he_o and_o his_o desire_n to_o see_v he_o 2._o but_o than_o second_o this_o be_v not_o a_o inordinate_a love_n a_o misplace_a love_n or_o a_o mere_a natural_a and_o carnal_a affection_n that_o paul_n have_v to_o timothy_n but_o it_o be_v a_o spiritual_a and_o subordinate_a love_n which_o be_v ground_v upon_o very_o great_a reason_n which_o be_v as_o you_o know_v the_o other_o circumstance_n now_o this_o he_o approve_v to_o be_v a_o well_o ground_a love_n which_o he_o bear_v towards_o timothy_n from_o a_o double_a consideration_n 1._o first_o his_o tender_a love_n to_o paul_n express_v in_o his_o tear_n v._n 4._o magnes_fw-la amoris_fw-la amor_fw-la love_n be_v the_o loadstone_n of_o love_n and_o therefore_o he_o say_v right_a si_fw-la vis_fw-la amari_fw-la ama_fw-la the_o most_o effectual_a charm_n to_o draw_v love_n be_v the_o sense_n and_o experience_n of_o the_o love_n of_o a_o other_o towards_o we_o he_o be_v of_o a_o very_a barbarous_a spirit_n that_o will_v not_o reciprocate_v and_o answer_v love_n with_o love_n and_o thus_o the_o apostle_n intimate_v as_o the_o first_o ground_n of_o his_o love_n the_o tender_a love_n and_o tender_a affection_n of_o timothy_n towards_o paul_n and_o therefore_o if_o it_o be_v for_o nothing_o else_o but_o for_o his_o love_n towards_o he_o he_o love_v he_o and_o that_o be_v intimate_v in_o the_o 4_o verse_n remember_v thy_o tear_n i_o refer_v it_o for_o the_o present_a and_o so_o i_o conceive_v it_o very_o reasonable_a to_o the_o last_o part_n of_o paul_n and_o timothy_n now_o to_o those_o that_o be_v unite_v together_o in_o strong_a affection_n it_o be_v death_n to_o part_v it_o be_v like_o a_o child_n that_o be_v to_o part_v with_o the_o nurse_n breast_n and_o must_v be_v wean_v there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o mourning_n and_o pine_v and_o languish_v away_o to_o think_v that_o he_o must_v be_v wean_v from_o his_o breast_n from_o whence_o he_o have_v suck_v so_o much_o sweetness_n and_o nourishment_n such_o a_o affection_n there_o seem_v to_o be_v stir_v in_o timothy_n towards_o paul_n at_o there_o part_v now_o timothy_n have_v long_o enjoy_v the_o sweet_a and_o comfortable_a communion_n of_o paul_n and_o the_o happiness_n of_o his_o fellowship_n whence_o he_o have_v suck_v so_o many_o instruction_n so_o much_o edification_n so_o much_o of_o his_o establishment_n now_o upon_o the_o apprehension_n of_o part_v with_o he_o he_o apprehend_v he_o must_v be_v rob_v of_o all_o this_o the_o thought_n of_o this_o like_o a_o child_n make_v he_o break_v forth_o into_o tear_n so_o that_o be_v the_o first_o ground_n of_o paul_n love_n to_o timothy_n timothyes_n love_v to_o he_o 2_o his_o true_a faith_n to_o god_n which_o be_v lineal_a cordial_n this_o be_v another_o ground_n which_o the_o apostle_n produce_v to_o prove_v the_o groundedness_n of_o his_o love_n and_o that_o be_v timothyes_n desert_n have_v that_o which_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v belove_v there_o be_v two_o thing_n say_v the_o

be_v not_o so_o fair_a or_o so_o witty_a or_o so_o commendable_a as_o many_o other_o be_v yet_o he_o love_v it_o because_o it_o be_v his_o own_o and_o those_o that_o be_v our_o own_o that_o be_v
