Q. 8. Are all men to be loved alike, and with the same degree of Love?
A. No; tho we must love all men with the love of Benevolence; yet the Saints only with the love of Complacency. Psal. 16.3. But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent, in whom is all my delight. And to such we must especially do good. Gal. 6.10. As we have therefore opportunity, ⟨p. 107⟩let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
