the_o will_n whereby_o the_o soul_n work_v itself_o to_o the_o seek_v and_o obtain_v of_o good_a and_o shun_v and_o avoid_v of_o evil_a now_o of_o these_o affection_n there_o be_v 4._o which_o may_v

1._o the_o first_o affection_n be_v love_n whereby_o the_o soul_n be_v move_v and_o incline_v to_o be_v one_o with_o any_o good_a thing_n and_o because_o god_n be_v the_o best_a thing_n even_o goodness_n itself_o therefore_o shall_v the_o soul_n be_v most_o frequent_o and_o earnest_o fill_v with_o such_o motion_n and_o inclination_n towards_o he_o 2._o the_o second_o affection_n be_v fear_n whereby_o the_o soul_n be_v move_v from_o evil_a with_o a_o kind_n of_o shrink_v and_o faint_v decline_a from_o it_o when_o it_o be_v come_v now_o because_o god_n consider_v as_o angry_a and_o displease_v be_v to_o the_o creature_n the_o great_a evil_n of_o misery_n that_o can_v be_v conceive_v of_o therefore_o ought_v it_o decline_v his_o anger_n and_o displeasure_n with_o the_o most_o

the_o soul_n be_v move_v to_o rest_n and_o stay_v itself_o upon_o any_o thing_n for_o the_o obtain_v the_o good_a it_o will_v and_o because_o god_n be_v of_o infinite_a power_n and_o all_o power_n be_v he_o neither_o have_v any_o creature_n any_o ability_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n without_o he_o therefore_o must_v the_o soul_n rest_v itself_o whole_o and_o only_o upon_o he_o according_a to_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o promise_n for_o the_o attain_n of_o all_o good_a thing_n both_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a 2._o the_o less_o principal_a faculty_n outward_a be_v alone_o the_o faculty_n
