For if] Luke 6. 32. ye love them which love you] Them onely, v. 47. for we must love them that love us; else are we worse then the publicans, v. 47. what reward have ye?] Ye do but render love for love, and love your selves in loving them; and therefore have no reason to expect a reward. do not even the publicans the saine?] You do no more then the light of nature teacheth the vilest sort of men to do. The publicans were such as took tributes and customs, whom the Jews hated deadly, because they served the Romanes, and wronged them in their estates, Luke 19:8.
