before_o he_o have_v no_o will_n to_o want_v it_o but_o he_o love_v the_o lord_n jesus_n better_a than_o his_o body_n and_o therefore_o perceive_v that_o he_o can_v now_o enjoy_v they_o both_o

but_o where_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n be_v strong_a in_o the_o heart_n it_o cast_v out_o not_o only_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n but_o over_o come_v also_o all_o other_o love_n whatsoever_o and_o

●im_v when_o we_o consider_v this_o strong_a love_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v in_o the_o apostle_n we_o we_o have_v great_a cause_n to_o be_v ashamed_a of_o that_o weak_a and_o little_a love_n which_o

and_o what_o hope_v then_o be_v there_o that_o for_o his_o sake_n they_o will_v lay_v down_o the_o life_n itself_o he_o if_o small_a cross_n be_v unpleasant_a to_o we_o and_o his_o love_n be_v not_o

therefore_o learn_v for_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n to_o inure_v ourselves_o with_o the_o beginning_n of_o mortification_n not_o only_o to_o slay_v the_o unlawful_a affection_n but_o also_o to_o
