But how is that Consider with mee but 5. things and you may learne how The first is the cause which moved Christ to loue vs. Wee haue beene o Ephes 1.4 chosen in him by the Father that we might be saved by him and therefore hath Christ loved vs with a peculiar loue aboue other men Galat. 2.20 Therfore must we also loue our brethrē peculiarly in the Lord for that very cause because for ought we know they are the elect and chosen of the Father in Christ that they may be saved by Christ 2 The time when Christ loved vs. He loved vs first 1. Ioh. 4.19 Therefore must we also prevent one another in loue wee must not looke that they loue vs first for the heathens can bee content to yeeld loue for loue Mat. 5.46 But we must loue thē first and by so loving them stirre them vp to loue vs againe 3 The quality of the persons whom Christ hath loved He hath loved vs Ioan. 15.9 vs that is all all the elect Iewes and Gentiles Graecians barbarians bond and free men women the base and poore as well as the noble and rich for all which and therfore for all vs he dyed when as yet we were his enemies when as yet we were sinners Rom. 5.8 Therfore must we also loue all men be they sinners or seeme they iust seeme they our friends or be they our foes bee they of what estate and condition soever 4 The end for which Christ hath loued vs. He loued vs for no profit of his owne but for our soules health Therfore must we also loue our neighbours not for our owne gaine but for their good and thereto doth St Paul counsell vs Let every man be carefull for the things of his neighbour Phil. 2.4 5 The measure of Christs loue to vs ward It is a true loue for Christ is truth it selfe Iohn 14.6 It is an ardent loue● for Christ laid downe his life he shed his blood for his sheepe Iohn 10.15 It is a never dying loue for Christ loues his vnto the end Ioh. 13.1 And therefore must wee also loue our neighbours truly earnestly constantly We must abandon al false feigned and vaine loue all corrupt loue all gainefull loue al tongue-tongue-loue and the like as Christ hath loued vs even so must we loue one another How this loue hath beene written in the hearts of the godly which long since haue slept in peace their practises are sufficient to declare Could any thing else haue made Moses pray to haue his name raced out of Gods booke rather then that the sinnes of the people vnder his government should not bee forgiuen Exod. 32.32 Could any thing else haue caused David to make his petitions to God for to lay the pestilence vpon him and his fathers house and to spare the people committed to his charge 2. Sam. 24.17 Could any thing else haue moved Paule to wish with his owne damnation to redeeme the reiection of the Iewes Rom. 9.3 What shal I tell you of Elizeus who took order for the safe returne of his enimies the king of Arams servants to their Lord and master 2. Kings 6.22 or of Ieremie who stood before the Lord to speak good for such as had digged a pit for his soule Ierem. 18.20 or of Steven who then prayed for the people when they stoned him Act. 7.60 Naomi might haue done her kinseman all the disgrace set downe in the law she might haue pulled of his p Ruth 4 7. shee she might haue spit in his face and so haue defamed him and his house for ever yet would she not Ioseph when he might haue disclosed the lust of his mistris and haue saued his owne q Gen. 39.19 imprisonment did choose rather to conceale it The supposed father of Christ that iust one perceauing that his betrothed spouse was with child before ever they came together was minded to put her away r Mat. 1.19 secretly for hee would not make her a publike example But all these are dead and gone and I feare me I may to truely say it their loue is also dead and gone with them For if not so could deceit could bribery could oppression could rapine could vsury could many more such adversaries of true loue bee so common among vs as they are Whence is it that the hand of Caine is so ready at the throat of Abel Gen. 4.8 Whence is it that the shepheards of Gerar and the shepheards of Isaac cannot agree Gen. 26.20 Whence is it that Esau hateth Iacob Gen. 27.41 that Ioseph is ready to be sold for 20 peeces of silver Gen. 37.28 That Saul seeketh David to slay him 1. Sam. 20.33 that a man lieth wounded by the high way neither Priest nor Levite will helpe him Luk. 10.31 32. Is it not from our want of true loue Now haue we many of Haman his spirit who did malitiously informe Assuerus against the Iewes that so he might vtterly destroy them Hest 3.8 9. and many of Doeg his spirit who by his false accusatiō murdered 85 Priests and smote the city Nob with all the men women and childrē in it 1. Sam. 22.9 18. and many of Ziba his spirite who did wrongfully slander Mephibosheth his Lord vnto the King 2. Sam. 16.3 Now the great man curseth the poore the poore man complaineth of the rich the seeming godly man hateth his neighbour for he is wicked the wicked man flyeth from the pure in heart he is not for his purpose Knowe wee any thing wherein our brother hath offended wee will ring it presently in the eares of his dearest friends But know we no ill by him A smal matter we can and will forge enough only must we haue one condition yeelded vnto namely that we shall not be reveiled then our brasen faces will beare vs out without blushing to report of any mā that there is neither honesty learning nor religion in him or that he is good for nothing but to be factious or the like Thus doe the wicked ſ Ps 11.2 bend their bow and make ready their arrowes vpon the string that they may secretly shoote at them which are vpright in heart And can wee much blame them for so doing since their nature is so to doe Vilium est hominum alios viles facere qui suo merito placere non possunt placere velle aliorum comparatione You may hold it for a truth St Ierome hath spoken it It is the property of a vile nature to seeke by tales to make others vile or by comparison with others to come to he accounted of Dead soules I haue no hope to moue to feeling hearts which God vouchsafeth to touch with his powerfull word as with a sharpe t Heb. 4.12 sword is my speech made Read and remember what is written in the law Thou shalt not walke about with tales among thy brethren Lev. 19.16 Learne and forget not why Ierusalem was reproued it was because
