The great fallacy with which Satan deludes many men, is that Logicians call à bene compositis ad male divisa; when he gets them to take Religion into pieces and then takes one piece for religion: one cries up Christ, another Faith, another love, another good works: but what is God without Christ, or Christ without faith, and what is faith without love, and what is love without works? but now, take God in Christ by faith which worketh by love and keepeth the commandments of God, this is ⟨p. 66⟩pure religion. 'Tis the whole that is the whole of man.

237. The new Command.
The command of loving one another, is not called new as to the thing to be done, for that was from the beginning, but as to the manner of doing it, or the rule according to which it is to be done. Formerly 'twas love thy neighbour as thy self, (there self-love was the rule) but here 'tis love one another as I have loved you (here Christs love is the rule) we should love one another better then we did, because Christ loves us better then we our selves.
