ourselves_o &_o begin_v that_o work_n wherein_o our_o eternal_a glory_n and_o beatitude_n in_o heaven_n chief_o must_v consist_v for_o god_n holy_a saint_n clearlye_o behouldinge_v his_o nature_n &_o essence_n be_v replenish_v with_o a_o infinite_a knowledge_n to_o judge_v what_o goodness_n &_o glory_n his_o majesty_n be_v worthy_a of_o &_o also_o with_o a_o infinite_a desire_n and_o love_n that_o he_o possess_v the_o same_o which_o burn_v desire_n &_o love_n of_o they_o when_o behouldinge_v god_n they_o see_v it_o fulfil_v in_o more_o perfect_v sort_n than_o they_o can_v wish_v imagine_v or_o comprehend_v they_o be_v ravish_v with_o unspeakable_a joy_n &_o gladness_n the_o happy_a saint_n in_o heaven_n have_v the_o manifest_a vision_n &_o perfect_a fruition_n of_o all_o his_o goodness_n &_o therefore_o their_o knowledge_n love_n &_o joy_n be_v perfect_a we_o sinful_a worm_n on_o earth_n by_o the_o light_n of_o our_o catholic_a faith_n though_o obscurelye_o yet_o most_o certainlye_o &_o firmlye_o believe_v the_o same_o which_o they_o behold_v and_o therefore_o god_n will_v that_o we_o occupy_v our_o power_n as_o much_o as_o we_o can_v in_o the_o same_o love_n desire_v &_o joy_n of_o the_o infinite_a goodness_n &_o glory_n of_o our_o lord_n for_o the_o more_o we_o love_v he_o &_o joy_n in_o his_o goodness_n here_o on_o earth_n the_o more_o perfect_v and_o great_a shall_v our_o love_n &_o joy_n be_v in_o heaven_n i_o conceive_v all_o this_o say_v probus_n but_o many_o without_o doubt_n have_v obtain_v the_o perfect_v love_n of_o god_n require_v in_o this_o life_n without_o all_o this_o ado_n or_o knowledge_n of_o this_o way_n you_o have_v teach_v i_o many_o have_v indeed_o say_v alphonso_n love_v god_n perfect_o before_o this_o way_n be_v either_o know_v to_o i_o or_o teach_v in_o this_o manner_n by_o any_o that_o i_o have_v hard_a but_o sure_o the_o ordinary_a way_n to_o get_v it_o haith_v be_v this_o in_o substance_n for_o it_o be_v gather_v out_o of_o the_o holy_a scripture_n accord_v to_o the_o declaration_n of_o the_o holy_a doctoures_fw-la which_o have_v write_v of_o this_o matter_n many_o have_v think_v &_o think_v still_o that_o they_o have_v get_v it_o very_o easelye_o withowt_n these_o reason_n &_o mean_n but_o common_o they_o fail_v of_o it_o &_o get_v but_o the_o weak_a &_o imperfect_a love_n which_o i_o speak_v of_o before_o if_o you_o think_v good_a we_o will_v now_o pass_v to_o the_o love_n of_o our_o neighbour_n do_v so_o i_o pray_v you_o say_v probus_n of_o the_o love_n of_o our_o neighbour_n as_o the_o love_n of_o god_n say_v alphonso_n require_v before_o it_o all_o the_o exercyse_n and_o consideration_n we_o speak_v of_o so_o the_o love_n of_o our_o neighbour_n &_o of_o ourselves_o require_v before_o they_o the_o love_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o these_o two_o love_n proceed_v from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n otherwise_o they_o can_v not_o be_v good_a or_o well_o order_v you_o must_v know_v then_o that_o he_o which_o desire_v to_o serve_v &_o please_v god_n must_v mark_v and_o observe_v two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v what_o god_n will_v have_v he_o to_o do_v the_o second_o in_o what_o manner_n he_o will_v have_v it_o do_v for_o he_o shall_v have_v small_a thank_v or_o reward_v with_o god_n that_o shall_v do_v his_o commandment_n if_o he_o do_v it_o not_o in_o the_o manner_n he_o command_v it_o he_o haith_v bid_v we_o to_o love_v one_o a_o other_o say_v this_o be_v my_o precept_n that_o you_o love_v one_o a_o other_o and_o with_o this_o in_o what_o sort_n also_o we_o shall_v do_v it_o say_v as_o i_o have_v love_v you_o he_o than_o that_o do_v the_o first_o shall_v not_o have_v the_o high_a reward_n due_a to_o that_o love_n except_o also_o he_o do_v the_o second_o now_o therefore_o to_o know_v how_o we_o ought_v one_o to_o love_n a_o other_o we_o must_v consider_v how_o our_o lord_n love_v us._n first_o by_o many_o way_n &_o mean_n he_o draw_v &_o induce_v we_o to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n then_o he_o teach_v we_o by_o his_o own_o example_n to_o suffer_v patient_o all_o the_o adversity_n of_o this_o world_n never_o sack_v the_o reins_n to_o vain_a delight_n above_o that_o which_o may_v be_v necessary_a to_o the_o sustentation_n of_o his_o body_n then_o he_o die_v for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v have_v thereby_o virtue_n grace_n &_o glory_n in_o this_o kind_n of_o love_n he_o marvellous_o exceed_v &_o be_v a_o most_o vehement_n enemy_n to_o all_o vain_a love_n which_o now_o pass_v among_o we_o &_o be_v ordinary_o very_o corrupt_a &_o infecticus_fw-la to_o our_o soul_n create_v to_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n accord_v to_o this_o example_n therefore_o of_o our_o lord_n we_o ought_v to_o frame_v our_o love_n towards_o our_o neighbour_n castinge_v away_o all_o vanity_n which_o be_v accustom_v to_o mix_v themselves_o with_o our_o love_n as_o to_o be_v much_o affect_v to_o some_o person_n for_o that_o we_o see_v they_o virtuous_a &_o devout_a and_o in_o their_o conversat_fw-la on_o to_o be_v mild_a graccous_a &_o amiable_a in_o the_o love_n of_o who_o often_o good_a menn_n heart_n be_v take_v captyve_a find_v grief_n disquietness_n &_o trouble_n of_o mind_n to_o be_v without_o they_o or_o not_o to_o talk_v with_o they_o or_o not_o to_o be_v mutual_o belove_v &_o esteem_v of_o they_o all_o which_o kind_n of_o affection_n &_o love_n be_v vain_a and_o hurtful_a to_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n i_o think_v say_v probus_n we_o may_v well_o love_v other_o in_o this_o fort_n because_o we_o see_v they_o god_n servant_n chief_o if_o we_o do_v it_o for_o god_n if_o your_o friend_n say_v alphonso_n have_v a_o servant_n the_o love_n of_o who_o shall_v so_o hold_v captive_a your_o hart_n &_o so_o great_o increase_v that_o it_o more_o delight_v you_o to_o conuâ—se_v and_o talk_v with_o he_o then_o with_o your_o friend_n be_v it_o not_o manifest_a that_o now_o you_o love_v not_o the_o servant_n for_o your_o friend_n but_o because_o his_o conversation_n &_o nature_n be_v sweet_a &_o grateful_a to_o you_o for_o though_o your_o love_n towards_o that_o servant_n begâ—n_v for_o your_o friend_n sake_n yet_o now_o it_o be_v become_v inordinate_a and_o excessive_a &_o more_o for_o your_o own_o pleasure_n &_o delight_v you_o take_v in_o the_o servant_n then_o whole_o for_o respect_n of_o your_o friend_n even_o thus_o we_o may_v speak_v of_o that_o love_n you_o rehearse_v it_o be_v plain_a mockery_n to_o say_v it_o be_v love_n of_o our_o neighbour_n pure_o for_o god_n notwithstanding_o there_o be_v perhaps_o some_o part_n of_o spiritual_a love_n therewith_o but_o he_o that_o be_v true_o &_o whole_o addict_v to_o god_n take_v no_o part_n from_o he_o but_o gevethe_v he_o all_o occupy_v &_o bestow_v his_o whole_a affection_n on_o he_o or_o in_o some_o thing_n that_o be_v whole_o order_v or_o direct_v to_o he_o as_o such_o vain_a love_n can_v not_o be_v be_v more_o for_o some_o thing_n in_o a_o creature_n then_o for_o god_n our_o love_n shall_v be_v towards_o all_o the_o servant_n of_o our_o father_n aswell_o our_o enemy_n as_o friend_n with_o so_o great_a affection_n as_o may_v proceed_v from_o the_o love_n we_o have_v to_o he_o that_o all_o other_o affection_n set_v aside_o only_o that_o may_v have_v place_n which_o we_o owe_v unto_o god_n to_o avoid_v &_o cast_v of_o all_o which_o supersivous_a affection_n those_o thing_n may_v help_v which_o i_o tell_v you_o of_o before_o speak_v of_o the_o natural_a affection_n of_o joy_n &_o of_o the_o use_n of_o our_o will_n how_o then_o say_v probus_n shall_v we_o love_v our_o neighbour_n our_o love_n to_o they_o say_v alphonso_n shall_v springe_n altogether_o from_o the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o consider_v they_o be_v so_o high_o belove_v of_o he_o that_o he_o will_v yield_v himself_o to_o death_n for_o they_o when_o yet_o they_o be_v his_o enemy_n we_o shall_v love_v they_o all_o so_o much_o as_o to_o help_v they_o in_o all_o that_o be_v good_a &_o needful_a for_o their_o body_n &_o soul_n like_a as_o we_o be_v wont_a love_v they_o that_o much_o delight_v we_o yea_o &_o this_o we_o shall_v do_v though_o their_o conversation_n wear_v molestfull_a &_o odious_a unto_o we_o entreatinge_v they_o courteous_o &_o provide_v for_o their_o necessity_n as_o for_o they_o which_o be_v tender_o belove_v of_o our_o heavenly_a lord_n &_o father_n who_o will_v &_o command_v we_o so_o to_o do_v all_o this_o we_o ought_v to_o do_v with_o as_o servant_n a_o will_n as_o we_o can_v for_o gratify_v please_a &_o obey_v our_o lord_n how_o injurious_a &_o noisome_a soever_o they_o be_v unto_o us._n it_o be_v very_o hard_o say_v probus_n for_o to_o bear_v such_o tender_a affection_n to_o
