AND this is that love: This is added for interpretation.1 This is saith he, the ground of Love, even that a man keep the commandments. For the Lord in the Gospel (whence these things seem to be fetched) said, he that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, the same is he which loveth me. And again, Continue in my love.2 If ye shall keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love.
AND this is that loue: This is added for interpretation.1 This is sayth he, the grounde of Loue, euen that a man kéepe the commaundementes. For the Lorde in the Gospell (whence these thinges séeme to be fetched) sayde, he that hath my commaundementes, and kéepeth them, the same is he which loueth mée. And againe, Continue in my loue.2 If ye shall kéepe my commaundements, ye shall abide in my loue.

And he hath commanded that we love our neighbour. If therefore we receive his commandments, we shall in confession be found true: if we imagine mischief against our neighbour, who at our hands suspecteth no such matter, we are found liars, as it is largely spoken of .
