we_o must_v give_v a_o certain_a love_n to_o the_o creature_n but_o there_o be_v a_o love_n due_a to_o god_n that_o no_o creature_n must_v have_v beside_o our_o saviour_n have_v say_v no_o man_n can_v

the_o open_a enemy_n be_v of_o three_o sort_n the_o infidel_n the_o jew_n and_o the_o turk_n although_o there_o be_v some_o doubt_n concern_v the_o last_o whether_o they_o be_v open_a or_o secret_a
