let_v we_o learn_v then_o that_o god_n must_v first_o love_v we_o and_o that_o we_o must_v feel_v the_o same_o by_o effect_n in_o we_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o we_o must_v not_o stay_v still_o

and_o because_o it_o like_v he_o therefore_o he_o list_v it_o that_o be_v the_o thing_n that_o moses_n have_v declare_v in_o this_o text_n howbeit_o for_o as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v as_o now_o
