Object. 3. God gave commandment to his people the •ewes, hto destroy the Canaanites, and to r•••e out their enemies […] of the Land: ⟨p. 204⟩now, how could they love them, whom they must so cruelly kill? Ans. We must only love the Lord absolutely, and others in God, and for God: that is, so far forth as it standeth with his pleasure: and therefore when he commandeth to kill, we may lawfully kill. And this we may do by way of punishment appointed by God, not only without hatred, but in love, both forgiving the wrong which concerns us, and also praying for grace and mercy for the party, if he belong to God▪
