term_n close_o yield_v to_o i_o do_v apprehend_v it_o a_o undeniable_a truth_n that_o what_o good_a soever_o i_o know_v to_o be_v good_a i_o must_v love_v and_o therefore_o if_o wicked_a man_n do_v know_v more_o of_o god_n they_o must_v know_v he_o needs_o under_o the_o notion_n of_o good_a and_o so_o see_v goodness_n in_o his_o nature_n they_o must_v love_v he_o more_o be_v i_o may_v add_v what_o good_a we_o know_v we_o be_v our_o act_n of_o understanding_n be_v a_o act_n of_o union_n which_o as_o before_o be_v metaphysical_a in_o the_o soul_n must_v be_v entire_a chap._n ix._o the_o

do_v it_o not_o appear_v from_o hence_o say_v they_o that_o all_o be_v be_v not_o one_o differ_v only_o in_o degree_n but_o that_o there_o be_v even_o different_a nature_n among_o which_o one_o may_v

the_o heart_n and_o then_o i_o shall_v say_v some_o that_o with_o they_o the_o head_n be_v the_o high_a degree_n the_o heart_n the_o low_a degree_n of_o light_n and_o so_o all_o be_v but_o a_o
