austin_n in_o this_o particular_a likewise_o and_o hold_v that_o love_n be_v the_o only_a passion_n which_o agitate_v we_o for_o as_o the_o same_o vast_a body_n of_o water_n general_o term_v the_o

and_o perfection_n of_o god_n so_o the_o various_a effect_n of_o this_o one_o passion_n have_v be_v the_o great_a occasion_n of_o man_n judge_v that_o there_o be_v many_o of_o several_a nature_n suppose_v that_o it_o change_v its_o condition_n as_o often_o as_o it_o change_v its_o conduct_n thus_o reason_n confirm_v our_o belief_n that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o only_a passion_n and_o what_o

what_o please_v and_o fly_v what_o be_v disagreeable_a to_o it_o it_o be_v but_o a_o very_a frivolous_a objection_n to_o this_o hyyothesis_n that_o love_n must_v of_o consequence_n transform_v

because_o he_o love_v himself_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o passion_n in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n it_o be_v so_o long_a a_o tract_n of_o time_n since_o man_n lose_v his_o innocence_n that_o

peradventure_o we_o shall_v hardly_o regret_n the_o loss_n as_o irreparable_a as_o it_o be_v every_o one_o discribe_v the_o state_n of_o innocence_n according_a to_o his_o own_o imagination_n yet_o

ever_o they_o shall_v hearken_v to_o a_o reconciliation_n since_o it_o be_v so_o impetuous_a in_o its_o motion_n that_o it_o make_v a_o man_n despise_v his_o own_o life_n to_o prosecute_v his_o
