In that we must loue him as our selfe: which as it is so much the lesse then the former, as man is inferior to God; so wee being not able to accomplish it, are much lesse able to fulfill the other.

By examination of our selves in some particular: as for example; whether we love a stranger being our utter and most deadly enemy, as our selves; which no man ever did, nay a common man, or to be plainer, even our dearest friend, as we do our selves; which cannot be found. Look Deut. 28.53.56, &c. Wherefore that rotten righteousness of the Papists cannot stand.
