here_o two_o thing_n among_o many_o other_o be_v plain_o imply_v first_o that_o no_o man_n be_v able_a out_o of_o any_o natural_a principle_n to_o love_v the_o brethren_n that_o be_v the_o saint_n the_o heart_n must_v be_v purify_v through_o the_o word_n and_o spirit_n of_o god_n together_o that_o be_v that_o base_a and_o drossy_a affection_n of_o inordinate_a self-klove_n must_v be_v purge_v
