we_o love_v one_o whereof_o be_v insensible_a of_o our_o love_n because_o they_o be_v so_o in_o themselves_o the_o other_o have_v knowledge_n of_o our_o affection_n and_o on_o their_o part_n correspond_v unto_o it_o the_o love_n that_o we_o have_v for_o the_o first_o give_v not_o a_o pleasure_n that_o come_v near_o that_o of_o the_o love_n that_o we_o have_v for_o the_o second_o then_o when_o we_o be_v assure_v that_o they_o love_v we_o reciprocal_o and_o the_o reason_n thereof_o be_v two_o fold_n the_o first_o be_v that_o the_o thing_n that_o can_v love_v we_o reciprocal_o however_o excellent_a they_o may_v otherwise_o be_v be_v nevertheless_o void_a of_o understanding_n those_o that_o be_v capable_a of_o a_o true_a affection_n for_o we_o be_v partaker_n of_o it_o now_o thing_n endue_v with_o understanding_n be_v infinite_o better_o than_o those_o that_o be_v not_o if_o therefore_o the_o satisfaction_n that_o we_o receive_v either_o from_o our_o contemplation_n or_o from_o our_o love_n increase_v as_o we_o have_v see_v above_o according_a to_o the_o proportion_n of_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o object_n upon_o which_o our_o faculty_n display_v and_o exercise_v themselves_o the_o love_n that_o we_o have_v for_o thing_n endue_v with_o understanding_n must_v infinite_o over-weigh_a the_o other_o the_o second_o be_v that_o as_o we_o love_v nothing_o earnest_o which_o we_o do_v not_o value_n much_o so_o we_o can_v perceive_v ourselves_o love_v but_o we_o perceive_v ourselves_o also_o value_v and_o esteem_v by_o those_o that_o love_v we_o now_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n supreme_o sweet_a and_o pleasant_a to_o be_v value_v and_o esteem_v by_o those_o that_o we_o believe_v do_v exact_o know_v we_o and_o which_o otherwise_o we_o know_v be_v themselves_o to_o be_v value_v and_o esteem_v in_o a_o sovereign_a manner_n for_o either_o they_o esteem_v we_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o our_o proper_a worth_n as_o when_o we_o love_v our_o friend_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o their_o virtue_n or_o else_o they_o esteem_v we_o for_o this_o that_o although_o in_o ourselves_o in_o comparison_n of_o they_o we_o be_v of_o no_o marvellous_a great_a price_n so_o it_o be_v nevertheless_o that_o they_o have_v make_v we_o and_o it_o be_v by_o they_o that_o we_o be_v what_o we_o be_v so_o we_o love_v our_o child_n so_o every_o understanding_n cause_o love_v the_o work_n that_o he_o have_v produce_v with_o some_o understanding_n and_o art_n the_o first_o be_v marvellous_o pleasant_a for_o if_o it_o be_v a_o thing_n agreeable_a to_o be_v and_o to_o know_v that_o we_o be_v how_o much_o more_o be_v it_o to_o possess_v a_o be_v accompany_v with_o commendable_a quality_n the_o second_o ought_v to_o be_v much_o more_o for_o although_o we_o do_v not_o perceive_v ourselves_o commendable_a in_o ourselves_o it_o be_v not_o small_a commendation_n to_o be_v dependence_n of_o a_o great_a cause_n and_o part_n of_o a_o noble_a principle_n from_o who_o we_o be_v derive_v now_o in_o the_o estate_n in_o which_o we_o shall_v be_v in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n we_o shall_v possess_v both_o all_o these_o degree_n and_o all_o these_o kind_n of_o happiness_n for_o as_o we_o shall_v love_v both_o the_o angel_n and_o the_o faithful_a that_o shall_v there_o be_v partaker_n with_o we_o in_o one_o and_o the_o same_o glory_n with_o tenderness_n unimaginable_a so_o will_v they_o on_o their_o part_n love_v we_o so_o hearty_o that_o they_o will_v perfect_o correspond_v to_o our_o affection_n and_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o we_o shall_v love_v they_o as_o well_o with_o that_o kind_n of_o love_n wherewith_o we_o embrace_v our_o friend_n by_o reason_n of_o their_o holiness_n and_o virtue_n which_o we_o shall_v see_v arrive_v at_o the_o high_a pitch_n of_o its_o perfection_n as_o with_o that_o kind_n of_o love_n wherewith_o we_o love_v our_o brethren_n for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o communion_n we_o shall_v have_v with_o one_o and_o the_o same_o heavenly_a father_n so_o we_o do_v certain_o know_v that_o we_o shall_v be_v perfect_o love_v of_o they_o on_o the_o same_o consideration_n because_o our_o virtue_n and_o perfection_n will_v be_v the_o same_o with_o they_o and_o we_o shall_v be_v equal_o the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o that_o as_o by_o the_o love_n that_o we_o shall_v bear_v to_o they_o we_o shall_v be_v so_o close_o join_v to_o they_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v they_o perpetual_o in_o our_o mind_n they_o will_v be_v join_v so_o close_o to_o we_o by_o the_o affection_n wherewith_o they_o will_v embrace_v we_o that_o they_o will_v have_v we_o perpetual_o in_o they_o and_o so_o our_o soul_n shall_v be_v as_o it_o be_v melt_v and_o mingle_v together_o and_o this_o will_v be_v wonderful_a in_o the_o vehemence_n and_o

we_o have_v judge_v or_o can_v judge_v worthy_a of_o this_o degree_n of_o love_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n our_o mind_n in_o this_o natural_a constitution_n in_o which_o they_o be_v can_v

object_n without_o any_o need_n of_o trial_n and_o our_o mind_n have_v obtain_v by_o their_o glorification_n a_o supernatural_a and_o extraordinary_a vigour_n they_o will_v become_v as_o it_o be_v fruitful_a and_o inexhaustible_a fountain_n of_o these_o kind_n of_o operation_n from_o whence_o love_n and_o kindness_n will_v run_v down_o not_o as_o little_a stream_n or_o brook_n which_o present_o grow_v dry_a but_o as_o flood_n abound_v and_o remain_v to_o eternal_a age_n again_o as_o we_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n and_o the_o heavenly_a father_n all_z as_o much_o as_o the_o

honour_n of_o so_o great_a love_n nevertheless_o we_o shall_v not_o cease_v to_o esteem_v ourselves_o supreme_o happy_a in_o it_o and_o to_o receive_v unspeakable_a joy_n from_o it_o for_o this_o relation_n which_o we_o shall_v have_v with_o god_n of_o be_v his_o child_n and_o that_o which_o we_o shall_v have_v with_o jesus_n christ_n of_o be_v his_o belove_a brethren_n will_v certain_o be_v
