mercy_n in_o god_n do_v spring_n out_o of_o his_o free_a love_n towards_o we_o why_o do_v you_o say_v out_o of_o the_o free_a love_n of_o god_n be_v there_o more_o love_v in_o god_n than_o one_o there_o be_v two_o kind_n of_o love_n in_o god_n one_o be_v wherewith_o the_o father_n love_v the_o son_n and_o the_o son_n the_o father_n and_o which_o the_o holy_a ghost_n bear_v towards_o both_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o this_o love_n i_o call_v the_o natural_a love_n of_o god_n so_o that_o the_o one_o can_v but_o love_v the_o other_o but_o the_o love_n wherewith_o he_o love_v we_o be_v voluntary_a not_o be_v constrain_v thereunto_o and_o therefore_o be_v call_v the_o free_a love_n of_o god_n and_o thereof_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o mercy_n be_v also_o whole_o free_a that_o be_v without_o reward_n or_o hope_n of_o recompense_n and_o exclude_v all_o merit_n how_o prove_v you_o that_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n arise_v out_o of_o his_o love_n that_o the_o love_n of_o

of_o his_o mercy_n be_v his_o grace_n and_o his_o grace_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o his_o free_a favour_n and_o love_n towards_o we_o the_o same_o order_n do_v paul_n observe_v in_o titus_n 3._o 4_o
