Wherein, First, you have the Command, A New Command I give unto you; It is not left to our discretion, but, we are bound to it by virtue of a Command, A New Command I give unto you.
Wherein, First, you have the Command, A New Command I give unto you; It is not left to our discretion, but, we are bound to it by vertue of a Command, A New Command I give unto you.
Secondly, This Command is enforced by Gods own example, as I have loved you. It is called a new Command, but Love is an old Command, this Law is written in the Nature of Man. It is engraven in every mans heart by Nature, and it is an old Command, because found among Gods ancient Statutes, the ancient Records of his Law; I, but ⟨image 71⟩'tis a new Command too, because pressed by a new Example of Christ, As I have loved you, so do ye love one another.

It is engraven in every mans heart by Nature, and it is an old Command, because found among Gods antient Statutes, the antient Records of his Law; I, but ⟨image 71⟩'tis a new Command too, because pressed by a new Example of Christ, As I have loved you, so do ye love one another.
