EPHE. 5. 2. As Christ loved us.
EPHE. 5. 2. As Christ loued vs.
WE distinguished the whole verse into a Canon, and a Crucifix. The Canon consisted of a Precept, and a Precedent. Love is the Subject: and it is both commanded and commended. Commanded in the Charge, which you have heard. Commended in the Example, which you shall hear. I determined my speech with the Precept; Walk in love. The Precedent or Pattern remains to be propounded and expounded; As Christ loved us. Every word is emphatical: and there be four, signifying four several natures.
