disposition_n towards_o their_o neighbour_n divine_a here_o be_v love_n now_o true_o express_v in_o his_o own_o nature_n and_o this_o love_n must_v be_v both_o celestial_a and_o divine_a when_o god_n

neither_o do_v nor_o say_v well_o but_o this_o as_o i_o take_v it_o be_v rather_o to_o be_v object_v in_o the_o way_n of_o merriment_n than_o to_o be_v receive_v for_o a_o truth_n but_o this_o be_v true_a there_o have_v be_v both_o good_a and_o bad_a woman_n from_o the_o beginning_n but_o for_o those_o that_o have_v be_v account_v ill_o they_o be_v never_o half_a so_o detestable_a in_o time_n
