that_o there_o be_v a_o love_n of_o benevolence_n and_o good_a will_n a_o design_v purpose_v love_n in_o christ_n towards_o we_o before_o we_o bear_v his_o image_n and_o superscription_n this_o love_n

we_o be_v enemy_n we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o god_n by_o the_o death_n of_o his_o son_n 2._o there_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v the_o intervention_n of_o a_o union_n a_o likeness_n a_o conformity_n of_o nature_n before_o there_o can_v be_v suppose_v a_o love_n of_o mutual_a complacency_n and_o reciprocal_a delight_n in_o each_o other_o for_o this_o love_n this_o delight_n must_v have_v something_o to_o work_v upon_o as_o there_o must_v be_v a_o conjugal_a relation_n before_o the_o husband_n can_v take_v delight_n in_o his_o wife_n as_o his_o wife_n and_o the_o wife_n in_o her_o husband_n as_o her_o husband_n 3._o that_o this_o love_n of_o good_a will_n in_o christ_n be_v the_o original_a reason_n of_o our_o transformation_n into_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n whereby_o we_o

that_o those_o act_n of_o love_n to_o and_o delight_n in_o christ_n proceed_v from_o that_o new_a nature_n which_o we_o derive_v from_o he_o 5._o the_o love_n wherewith_o christ_n love_v we_o as_o

he_o will_v improve_v it_o where_o say_v he_o the_o fellowship_n of_o christ_n can_v signify_v no_o more_o than_o fellowship_n with_o the_o church_n because_o the_o apostle_n add_v in_o the_o next_o
