here_o on_o earth_n be_v accept_v and_o receive_v of_o god_n in_o heaven_n this_o be_v the_o state_n of_o thing_n in_o our_o bless_a lord_n jesus_n now_o let_v we_o consider_v they_o in_o ourselves_o

of_o this_o life_n it_o finish_v its_o offer_n and_o be_v receive_v into_o bliss_n let_v we_o not_o then_o grieve_v for_o the_o death_n of_o believer_n as_o pagan_n do_v that_o have_v no_o hope_n when_o the_o faithful_a depart_v this_o life_n they_o be_v not_o lose_v we_o lose_v they_o upon_o a_o matter_n even_o from_o the_o moment_n they_o enter_v into_o the_o church_n by_o baptism_n from_o

this_o self-love_n have_v extend_v itself_o and_o fill_v the_o space_n the_o love_n of_o god_n have_v leave_v and_o so_o he_o love_v only_o himself_o and_o all_o thing_n for_o himself_o that_o be_v to_o say_v infinite_o this_o be_v the_o original_a of_o self-love_n it_o be_v natural_a to_o adam_n and_o just_a in_o his_o innocency_n but_o it_o become_v criminal_a and_o immoderate_a after_o his_o

of_o grace_n the_o fear_n of_o death_n be_v natural_a but_o it_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n because_o it_o can_v not_o enter_v into_o paradise_n but_o in_o finish_v a_o innocent_a life_n it_o be_v just_a to_o hate_v it_o when_o it_o can_v not_o happen_v but_o in_o separate_v a_o holy_a soul_n from_o a_o holy_a body_n but_o it_o be_v just_a to_o love_v it_o when_o it_o separate_v a_o
