what_o be_v the_o difference_n to_o come_v between_o the_o condition_n of_o this_o life_n and_o of_o the_o life_n everlasting_a in_o these_o word_n christ_n show_v three_o cause_n of_o the_o

of_o god_n join_v these_o three_o together_o when_o it_o say_v thou_o shall_v love_v the_o lord_n thy_o god_n with_o all_o thy_o heart_n with_o all_o thy_o soul_n and_o with_o all_o thy_o mind_n so_o that_o there_o be_v in_o the_o heart_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o the_o understanding_n of_o man_n a_o clear_a light_n and_o knowledge_n of_o god._n who_o he_o assure_o persuade_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o most_o best_a and_o most_o excellent_a namely_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o goodness_n moreover_o with_o all_o thy_o soul_n that_o be_v all_o the_o affection_n motion_n and_o desire_n of_o the_o heart_n shall_v tend_v to_o this_o end_n that_o thou_o may_v love_v god_n cleave_v unto_o he_o &_o place_n in_o he_o the_o soundness_n of_o thy_o love_n whereby_o thou_o may_v keep_v he_o most_o

thy_o cogitation_n endeavour_n and_o study_n to_o set_v forward_o and_o defend_v whatsoever_o thing_n do_v appertain_v unto_o god_n and_o to_o fight_v against_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v contrary_a

that_o god_n do_v require_v a_o love_n pure_a and_o perfect_n eternal_a and_o spiritvall_n so_o that_o thy_o love_n shall_v be_v pure_a without_o spot_n perfect_v with_o out_o all_o fault_n eternal_a without_o all_o intermission_n and_o spiritual_a without_o all_o affection_n and_o leven_v of_o fleshly_a concupiscence_n the_z other_z great_a commandment_n be_v this_o thou_o shall_v love_v thy_o
