the_o prophet_n do_v declare_v the_o cause_n wherefore_o god_n do_v prefer_v one_o place_n to_o another_o and_o he_o set_v the_o cause_n not_o in_o the_o worthiness_n of_o the_o place_n but_o in_o the_o only_a love_n of_o god_n without_o merit_n therefore_o if_o any_o ask_v why_o jerusalem_n do_v excel_v the_o rest_n let_v a_o brief_a answer_n be_v enough_o because_o it_o so_o please_v god_n and_o this_o be_v the_o beginning_a of_o the_o love_n of_o god_n but_o the_o end_n be_v that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o certain_a place_n in_o the_o which_o true_a religion_n may_v remain_v unto_o the_o
