that_o we_o may_v love_v he_o and_o false_a and_o defective_a conception_n of_o he_o as_o the_o great_a impediment_n of_o our_o love_n and_o we_o love_v he_o so_o little_a much_o because_o we_o so_o little_o know_v he_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o god_n which_o paul_n here_o make_v a_o competitor_n with_o love_n ii_o and_o as_o we_o know_v god_n by_o ascend_v

soul_n that_o fear_v lest_o he_o love_v not_o god_n because_o he_o perceive_v not_o himself_o either_o to_o know_v or_o love_v he_o immediate_o in_o the_o perfection_n of_o his_o essence_n 1._o do_v

against_o two_o common_a deceit_n of_o man_n by_o counterfeit_a love_n i._o some_o think_v that_o they_o love_v god_n saving_o because_o they_o love_v he_o as_o the_o god_n of_o nature_n and_o cause_n of_o all_o the_o natural_a be_v order_n and_o goodness_n which_o be_v in_o the_o whole_a frame_n of_o heaven_n and_o earth_n this_o be_v to_o love_v somewhat_o of_o god_n or_o to_o love_v he_o

itself_o the_o great_a essential_a and_o chief_a integral_a part_n be_v few_o and_o easy_o discern_v but_o two_o grand_a impediment_n hinder_v we_o from_o a_o certain_a knowledge_n in_o the_o rest_n
