    About this ebook

    It is allowed even by those who do not pay this great debt, that love is due to all mankind, the royal law, “Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself,” carrying its own evidence to all that hear it: and that, not according to the miserable construction put upon it by the zealots of old times, “Thou shalt love thy neighbour,” thy relation, acquaintance, friend, “and hate thine enemy;” not so; “I say unto you,” said our Lord, “Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children,” may appear so to all mankind, “of your Father which is in heaven; who maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

      Introduction to the Modern CrossReach Edition

      We are pleased here at CrossReach Publications to bring this important historical and scholarly work back into print for the modern reader.

      For most of our works this is the first time they have been fully digitized and updated into a modern format for a general public to enjoy in both paperback and eBook editions.

      We are proud of the fact that our publications therefore are one of the most readable editions of these works on the market. All original spelling is usually retained unless stated otherwise, except for obvious spelling mistakes.

      Most of our works also retain the original footnote numbering systems as they appeared in the original works, which will explain any unusual numbering you spot on the page. But don’t worry, the footnotes are still logical and easy to follow.

It is allowed even by those who do not pay this great debt, that love is due to all mankind, the royal law, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself, carrying its own evidence to all that hear it: and that, not according to the miserable construction put upon it by the zealots of old times, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, thy relation, acquaintance, friend, and hate thine enemy; not so; I say unto you, said our Lord, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them that despitefully use you, and persecute you; that ye may be the children, may appear so to all mankind, "of your Father which is in heaven; who maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.

      2. But it is sure, there is a peculiar love which we owe to those that love God. So David: All my delight is upon the saints that are in the earth, and upon such as excel in virtue. And so a greater than he: "A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another: as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are My
