indeed_o god_n require_v action_n rather_o than_o word_n love_n for_o love_n let_v we_o love_n god_n as_o he_o have_v love_v we_o we_o can_v do_v that_o for_o he_o which_o he_o have_v do_v for_o we_o let_v we_o love_v he_o at_o least_o with_o all_o our_o strength_n as_o he_o have_v love_v we_o according_a to_o the_o unbounded_a largeness_n of_o his_o great_a compassion_n let_v we_o love_n those_o who_o god_n have_v recommend_v to_o our_o charity_n what_o can_v we_o say_v against_o they_o that_o hinder_v we_o to_o exercise_v this_o virtue_n towards_o they_o they_o have_v offend_v we_o and_o what_o then_o have_v they_o do_v we_o nothing_o but_o good_a it_o will_v not_o be_v charity_n to_o love_v they_o charity_n consist_v in_o this_o that_o we_o love_v our_o enemy_n as_o god_n have_v love_v we_o we_o i_o say_v that_o be_v his_o enemy_n let_v we_o forgive_v as_o god_n forgive_v we_o exercise_v also_o your_o charity_n in_o distribute_v to_o the_o poor_a according_a to_o your_o

the_o love_n we_o bear_v to_o he_o o_o the_o happy_a christmas_n this_o will_v prove_v to_o we_o in_o case_n we_o can_v but_o resolve_v to_o practise_v humility_n and_o charity_n for_o after_o that_o we_o shall_v have_v be_v make_v conformable_a to_o our_o bless_a lord_n by_o the_o practice_n of_o these_o two_o virtue_n we_o shall_v have_v a_o share_n in_o his_o glory_n which_o be_v the_o crown_n of_o they_o amen_n the_o second_o discourse_n philip_n ii_o 6._o who_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o god_n think_v it_o no_o robbery_n to_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n we_o know_v that_o the_o scripture_n often_o speak_v of_o god_n as_o of_o man_n but_o it_o never_o speak_v of_o man_n as_o of_o god_n the_o reason_n whereof_o be_v very_o evident_a for_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v whole_o spiritual_a it_o be_v but_o necessary_a that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n shall_v clothe_v it_o with_o some_o sensible_a representation_n to_o the_o end_n that_o enter_v our_o soul_n by_o the_o assistance_n of_o these_o colour_n it_o may_v make_v a_o deep_a impression_n upon_o they_o this_o be_v do_v without_o any_o danger_n forasmuch_o as_o the_o scripture_n do_v elsewhere_o unfold_v these_o metaphor_n or_o if_o there_o be_v any_o danger_n in_o it_o with_o regard_n to_o the_o simple_a sort_n of_o people_n it_o be_v only_o this_o of_o fall_v into_o a_o error_n which_o have_v no_o influence_n upon_o divine_a worship_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o scripture_n make_v no_o difficulty_n at_o all_o to_o speak_v of_o god_n as_o of_o a_o man_n but_o never_o do_v it_o speak_v of_o man_n as_o of_o god_n for_o indeed_o to_o what_o purpose_n shall_v this_o be_v so_o force_v a_o metaphor_n will_v be_v of_o no_o use_n at_o all_o and_o will_v darken_v the_o style_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n instead_o of_o

most_o dangerous_a of_o all_o other_o mistake_v whatsoever_o god_n be_v too_o jealous_a of_o his_o own_o glory_n to_o set_v a_o creature_n on_o equal_a ground_n with_o himself_o and_o he_o be_v too_o
