paul_n say_v love_n seek_v not_o her_o own_o but_o usury_n seek_v another_o that_n be_v not_o her_o own_o therefore_o usury_n be_v far_o from_o love_n 8._o but_o god_n be_v love_n say_v john_n

if_o love_n be_v the_o band_n of_o perfection_n to_o bind_v all_o virtue_n together_o then_o envy_n be_v the_o band_n of_o impiety_n to_o bind_v all_o sin_n together_o therefore_o if_o we_o must_v

when_o thou_o hate_v the_o learned_a so_o do_v the_o envious_a man_n all_o both_o good_a and_o bad_a therefore_o this_o be_v the_o worst_a sin_n because_o it_o come_v near_o the_o sin_n against_o

this_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o good_a lesson_n for_o sickeman_n when_o they_o can_v live_v no_o long_o then_o to_o be_v with_o christ_n be_v better_o then_o to_o be_v with_o the_o glutton_n which_o
