the_o act_n &_o exercise_v of_o love_n be_v more_o excellent_a and_o acceptable_a to_o god_n than_o any_o other_o act_n of_o virtue_n when_o that_o love_n of_o god_n be_v clean_o and_o pure_a from_o

exercise_n of_o divine_a love_n for_o as_o much_o as_o ●ove_n do_v cause_v a_o kind_n of_o security_n and_o comfort_n to_o the_o soul_n a_o man_n may_v grow_v from_o thence_o many_o time_n to_o be_v

in_o self_n love_n and_o he_o may_v also_o come_v to_o presume_v upon_o himself_o conceave_a that_o he_o do_v great_o love_n god_n and_o by_o that_o very_a mean_n he_o go_v dispose_v himself_o to_o loose_v the_o same_o love_n of_o god_n by_o commit_v venial_a sin_n &_o by_o increase_v in_o they_o he_o arrive_v also_o to_o fall_v at_o last_o into_o mortal_a sin_n whereby_o he_o do_v whole_o loose_a love_n and_o grace_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n this_o negligence_n which_o grow_v to_o end_v in_o mortal_a sin_n do_v not_o grow_v from_o that_o very_a love_n of_o god_n which_o of_o itself_o be_v all_o good_a and_o persuade_v we_o also_o to_o all_o good_a but_o best_o but_o so_o weak_a be_v man_n that_o he_o may_v well_o be_v suspect_v even_o when_o he_o mean_v best_o it_o grow_v

use_v ill_a the_o love_n of_o god_n it_o be_v therefore_o both_o very_o profitable_a and_o very_o fit_a &_o even_o necessary_a that_o the_o good_a christian_a do_v join_v the_o holy_a fear_n of_o god_n to_o the_o love_n of_o he_o and_o that_o as_o he_o be_v to_o exercise_v himself_o in_o some_o consideration_n which_o may_v move_v he_o to_o love_n god_n so_o also_o he_o may_v exercise_v himself_o in_o some_o other_o which_o may_v move_v he_o to_o fear_v he_o and_o although_o it_o be_v true_a that_o at_o the_o first_o when_o a_o man_n be_v but_o begin_n to_o serve_v god_n it_o be_v more_o necessary_a that_o he_o bestow_v himself_o more_o upon_o the_o consideration_n of_o fear_n then_o that_o of_o love_n yet_o be_v it_o also_o very_o convenient_a even_o for_o they_o who_o have_v

and_o the_o remedy_n of_o this_o danger_n thus_o accompany_v this_o holy_a fear_n with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n the_o inconvenience_n and_o danger_n &_o loss_n whereof_o we_o have_v speak_v will_v cease_v which_o yet_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o grow_v through_o the_o frailty_n of_o man_n if_o he_o shall_v only_o employ_v himself_o in_o the_o exercise_n and_o consideration_n of_o love_n for_o this_o fear_n when_o it_o be_v join_v with_o love_n keep_v a_o man_n from_o be_v negligent_a in_o god_n service_n and_o it_o leave_v no_o place_n for_o any_o fault_n to_o be_v commit_v against_o god_n how_o venial_a and_o light_a soever_o they_o be_v and_o it_o keep_v he_o from_o give_v over_o his_o penance_n and_o mortification_n or_o from_o use_v tepidity_n therein_o nay_o it_o cause_v he_o to_o

his_o own_o frailty_n and_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n al_n this_o be_v wrought_v by_o this_o holy_a fear_n &_o the_o same_o be_v witness_v by_o ecclesiasticus_fw-la who_o say_v 1._o eccles_n 1._o
