WE no man any thing, but to love one another ; for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, Thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not fteal, Thou fhalt not bear falfe witnels, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this faying, namely, Thou shalt love thy neigh bour as thyfelf. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour; therefore love is the fulfilling love of the law. And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of fleep; for now is our falvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far fpent, the day is at hand; let us therefore caft off the works of darknefs, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honeftly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in ftrife and envying. But put ye on the Lord Jefus Chrift, and make not provifion for the flesh, to fulfil the lufts thereof. WHE The Gofpel. St. Matth. xxi. 1.
