the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o love_n and_o holiness_n of_o the_o godhead_n and_o divine_a essence_n and_o so_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n this_o help_v we_o to_o discern_v

of_o radical_a sanctity_n second_o god_n be_v objective_o holy_a because_o he_o be_v the_o object_n of_o all_o holiness_n for_o not_o only_o it_o be_v true_a of_o the_o holiness_n of_o angel_n man_n but_o even_o of_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n that_o it_o be_v place_v in_o the_o love_n of_o and_o conjunction_n with_o god_n god_n be_v the_o supreme_a of_o all_o thing_n and_o most_o simple_a and_o pure_a and_o the_o chief_a purity_n be_v in_o cleave_v to_o he_o and_o purity_n be_v holiness_n or_o the_o chastity_n of_o god_n therefore_o god_n be_v holy_a objectively_o as_o the_o measure_n of_o all_o holiness_n and_o the_o fit_a object_n of_o self_n love_n for_o as_o in_o man_n impurity_n come_v by_o touch_v thing_n below_o as_o when_o our_o face_n be_v soul_n or_o our_o garment_n dirty_a and_o in_o our_o soul_n there_o be_v defilement_n by_o cleave_v inordinate_o to_o the_o world_n and_o worldly_a thing_n so_o purity_n spring_v by_o acquaintance_n with_o thing_n above_o when_o our_o
