Now is every person a double person, 1and under both the regiments. In the first regiment, thou art a person for thine own self, under Christ and his doctrine, & mayst neither hate or be angry, and much less fight or avenge: But must after the ensample of Christ humble thy self, forsake and deny thy self, and hate thy self, and cast thy self away, and be meek and patient, and let every man go over thee, and tread thee under foot and do thee wrong: and yet love them, and pray for them, as Christ did for his crucifiers. For love is all, and what is not of love that, is damnable and cast out of that kingdom.

For loue is all, and what is not of loue that, is damnable and cast out of that kyngdome.

For that kingdom is the knowledge ⟨p. 211⟩of God and Christ. But he that loveth not, knoweth neither God nor 1Christ: therefore he that loveth not is not of that kingdom. The minor is on this wise proved, he that knoweth God and Christ seeth light, for Christ is light: But he that hateth his brother, is in darkness, and walketh in darkness, and wotteth not whether he goeth, for darkness hath blinded his eyes.
