as_o all_o the_o line_n of_o a_o sphere_n which_o touch_v the_o centre_n touch_v also_o one_o another_o so_o whosoever_o love_v god_n love_v also_o his_o neighbour_n &_o thou_o can_v not_o separate_v

our_o nature_n to_o love_v then_o to_o hate_v albeit_o thy_o neighbour_n be_v troublesome_a and_o hard_a love_v yet_o love_v he_o not_o the_o less_o if_o it_o be_v hard_a to_o love_v thy_o neighbour_n it_o be_v more_o hard_a to_o be_v hate_v of_o god._n the_o father_n answer_n now_o albeit_o the_o father_n do_v not_o forthwith_o answer_v the_o son_n in_o a_o audible_a voice_n albeit_o a_o voice_n
