all_o of_o it_o as_o a_o king_n in_o his_o kingdom_n who_o command_v all_o as_o the_o father_n of_o a_o family_n in_o his_o house_n who_o rule_v and_o direct_v every_o thing_n and_o even_o as_o wind_n disperse_v smoke_n and_o fire_n liquify_v and_o melt_v wax_n so_o charity_n which_o give_v we_o god_n and_o be_v even_o god_n himself_o reign_v in_o we_o dissipate_v our_o imperfection_n consume_v our_o inordinate_a affection_n and_o deliver_v we_o from_o sin_n subject_v we_o entire_o to_o the_o power_n and_o direction_n of_o jesus_n christ_n who_o reign_v in_o we_o whence_o it_o follow_v that_o whoever_o be_v willing_a to_o become_v a_o true_a christian_a of_o what_o condition_n soever_o he_o may_v be_v in_o this_o world_n aught_o to_o desire_v that_o god_n may_v reign_v in_o he_o he_o must_v dispose_v himself_o thereunto_o and_o render_v his_o soul_n and_o conscience_n worthy_a to_o be_v the_o kingdom_n and_o habitation_n of_o god_n and_o to_o arrive_v to_o this_o bless_a condition_n he_o ought_v to_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o love_n and_o charity_n whence_o we_o be_v to_o infer_v that_o all_o the_o true_a exercise_n of_o a_o christian_a must_v tend_v unto_o the_o obtain_n of_o love_n and_o all_o that_o he_o be_v to_o do_v all_o that_o he_o be_v to_o learn_v and_o the_o very_a method_n which_o he_o be_v to_o observe_v in_o order_n to_o a_o good_a life_n consist_v only_o in_o love_n and_o charity_n wherefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v wish_v that_o we_o will_v learn_v no_o other_o lesson_n in_o this_o world_n nor_o embrace_v other_o exercise_n then_o that_o of_o love_n and_o charity_n and_o in_o effect_n god_n demand_v nothing_o of_o we_o but_o love_n for_o he_o that_o love_v fulfil_v the_o whole_a law_n of_o god_n and_o jesus_n christ_n be_v ready_a to_o die_v recommend_v nothing_o more_o to_o his_o disciple_n than_o love_n virtue_n be_v not_o acceptable_a to_o god_n and_o our_o whole_a life_n have_v no_o merit_n without_o charity_n final_o god_n give_v not_o his_o paradise_n but_o unto_o love_n be_v it_o not_o then_o very_a true_a that_o the_o exercise_n and_o practice_v of_o love_n ought_v to_o be_v the_o sole_a entertainment_n and_o whole_a occupation_n of_o a_o soul_n that_o intend_v her_o salvation_n in_o as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o at_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n god_n resolve_v to_o judge_v we_o will_v respect_v nothing_o but_o love_n for_o he_o will_v receive_v we_o if_o we_o expire_v in_o the_o state_n of_o love_n and_o reejct_v we_o in_o case_n he_o find_v we_o destitute_a thereof_o i_o pray_v tell_v i_o now_o you_o that_o read_v what_o i_o write_v when_o you_o shall_v come_v to_o the_o hour_n of_o death_n and_o be_v in_o that_o moment_n wherein_o you_o be_v to_o appear_v before_o the_o tribunal_n of_o god_n to_o receive_v the_o definitive_a sentence_n of_o your_o eternity_n if_o you_o find_v yourself_o void_a of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n what_o sorrow_n will_v you_o not_o feel_v for_o have_v pass_v away_o your_o life_n in_o toy_n for_o have_v set_v your_o affection_n on_o trifle_n and_o not_o love_v god_n who_o be_v only_o amiable_a and_o the_o true_a happiness_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o at_o this_o last_o hour_n which_o you_o can_v avoid_v wherein_o you_o shall_v be_v constrain_v to_o abandon_v both_o this_o life_n and_o all_o that_o be_v in_o this_o world_n what_o anguish_n will_v you_o not_o suffer_v for_o have_v render_v yourself_o the_o slave_n of_o vanity_n and_o unto_o all_o inordinate_a motion_n of_o concupiscence_n for_o have_v violate_v and_o despise_v all_o holy_a and_o divine_a law_n to_o satisfy_v your_o own_o desire_n final_o what_o displeasure_n will_v you_o feel_v for_o have_v shut_v your_o heart_n against_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o lodge_v therein_o the_o love_n of_o so_o many_o creature_n sure_o at_o the_o time_n of_o your_o death_n you_o will_v as_o i_o may_v say_v even_o die_v for_o sorrow_n and_o this_o grief_n will_v be_v that_o worm_n which_o shall_v eternal_o gnaw_v your_o soul_n for_o have_v so_o much_o study_v to_o please_v the_o creature_n and_o for_o have_v be_v so_o strong_o fasten_v thereunto_o as_o to_o prostrate_v yourself_o to_o vanity_n and_o pleasure_n and_o for_o have_v despise_v the_o love_n of_o god_n who_o be_v your_o happiness_n and_o the_o true_a delight_n of_o your_o soul_n but_o suppose_v that_o you_o shall_v be_v save_v and_o that_o you_o be_v in_o the_o role_n of_o those_o elect_n who_o god_n intend_v to_o place_n in_o his_o kingdom_n of_o glory_n where_o there_o be_v no_o other_o god_n but_o love_n no_o law_n but_o that_o of_o love_n and_o where_o the_o life_n and_o entertainment_n of_o the_o saint_n be_v but_o a_o perfect_a and_o eternal_a love_n though_o you_o be_v i_o say_v of_o this_o number_n and_o if_o your_o name_n be_v write_v in_o the_o book_n of_o life_n yet_o god_n will_v not_o save_v you_o without_o love_n and_o charity_n for_o you_o must_v necessary_o die_v in_o charity_n if_o you_o will_v be_v save_v let_v we_o suppose_v then_o that_o you_o have_v love_n at_o this_o last_o hour_n it_o will_v be_v sure_o a_o true_a love_n of_o god_n if_o then_o you_o can_v ever_o love_n god_n with_o a_o true_a love_n how_o much_o pain_n will_v you_o feel_v for_o not_o have_v love_v he_o soon_o how_o much_o more_o bitter_o will_v you_o detest_v the_o world_n and_o all_o the_o creature_n which_o you_o have_v love_v and_o which_o have_v divert_v you_o from_o love_v a_o god_n who_o love_v you_o so_o much_o as_o to_o give_v you_o his_o paradise_n it_o be_v then_o yea_o it_o be_v then_o when_o you_o will_v understand_v the_o love_n which_o god_n bear_v you_o and_o that_o you_o will_v love_v god_n true_o then_o will_v it_o be_v that_o the_o more_o light_a you_o shall_v receive_v and_o the_o pure_a your_o soul_n shall_v be_v the_o more_o will_v you_o detest_v the_o world_n and_o deplore_v your_o own_o ingratitude_n and_o undoubted_o in_o this_o point_n will_v consist_v the_o sharp_a of_o your_o pain_n and_o the_o most_o insupportable_a dolour_n which_o you_o shall_v suffer_v in_o purgatory_n i_o say_v all_o this_o to_o recall_v your_o soul_n and_o persuade_v you_o if_o you_o can_v to_o prevent_v the_o misery_n of_o this_o hour_n and_o moment_n which_o you_o can_v escape_v and_o that_o from_o this_o instant_n prepare_v yourself_o for_o death_n you_o may_v begin_v to_o seek_v and_o desire_v no_o other_o thing_n but_o love_n in_o all_o your_o devotion_n learn_v to_o love_n god_n and_o take_v courage_n to_o despise_v manful_o all_o impediment_n unto_o true_a love_n let_v all_o your_o entertainment_n and_o devotion_n be_v in_o order_n to_o love_n and_o in_o all_o your_o exercise_n of_o mercy_n strive_v only_o to_o root_v out_o of_o your_o heart_n and_o remove_v from_o your_o life_n all_o that_o distance_v you_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n for_o your_o assistance_n herein_o i_o think_v fit_a to_o present_v unto_o you_o some_o few_o document_n which_o i_o conceive_v very_o profitable_a for_o all_o such_o as_o have_v a_o desire_n to_o live_v well_o i_o style_v they_o devout_a entertainment_n because_o indeed_o the_o soul_n ought_v to_o entertain_v and_o busy_v herself_o only_o in_o love_n and_o charity_n and_o i_o call_v they_o devout_a in_o as_o much_o as_o true_a devotion_n consist_v only_o in_o this_o point_n of_o love_a god_n it_o be_v not_o my_o intention_n to_o discredit_v other_o exercise_n which_o be_v recommend_v to_o soul_n because_o they_o be_v good_a and_o profitable_a if_o they_o direct_v unto_o love_n and_o charity_n but_o i_o may_v well_o say_v with_o s._n paul_n that_o all_o be_v nothing_o without_o charity_n wherefore_o i_o can_v wish_v that_o a_o true_a christian_a have_v no_o other_o object_n or_o end_n in_o all_o his_o action_n than_o love_n that_o he_o will_v study_v nothing_o but_o love_n and_o strive_v to_o correct_v all_o his_o defect_n opposite_a to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n for_o all_o be_v well_o consider_v whoever_o have_v charity_n have_v all_o thing_n and_o indeed_o we_o see_v so_o many_o person_n frequent_v the_o divine_a sacrament_n we_o see_v so_o many_o who_o exercise_n themselves_o in_o work_n of_o piety_n and_o nevertheless_o little_a profit_n and_o change_n be_v observe_v in_o the_o life_n of_o christian_n if_o reason_n may_v be_v give_v for_o it_o there_o be_v no_o other_o in_o my_o opinion_n than_o their_o defectivenesse_n in_o love_a god_n this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o in_o all_o this_o little_a treatise_n i_o speak_v of_o nothing_o but_o love_n and_o charity_n it_o be_v true_a also_o that_o i_o treat_v of_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n and_o show_v the_o practice_n of_o it_o but_o i_o have_v do_v it_o in_o consideration_n of_o love_n because_o i_o conceive_v
