to_o the_o object_n a_o little_a excellency_n deserve_v at_o our_o hand_n a_o little_a love_n and_o esteem_v more_o excellency_n more_o love_n but_o when_o there_o be_v a_o fullness_n of_o

the_o fullness_n of_o perfection_n it_o be_v true_a as_o man_n hide_v treasure_n from_o thief_n under_o straw_n or_o some_o other_o base_a cover_n so_o god_n hide_v this_o full_a excellency_n from_o

of_o extremity_n whence_o proceed_v it_o if_o from_o self_n love_n as_o be_v usual_a in_o such_o case_n because_o the_o soul_n be_v they_o most_o strong_o possess_v with_o a_o apprehension_n of_o

rise_v from_o his_o holy_a spirit_n the_o breathe_n whereof_o as_o they_o be_v most_o free_a so_o be_v they_o most_o precious_a therefore_o when_o such_o a_o spark_n be_v kindle_v in_o our_o heart_n let_v we_o be_v careful_a to_o put_v fuel_n unto_o it_o and_o not_o let_v it_o go_v out_o again_o all_o the_o creature_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n can_v help_v we_o to_o they_o again_o yea_o the_o
