to_o do_v the_o thing_n which_o will_v hazard_v his_o favour_n or_o provoke_v his_o displeasure_n and_o may_v we_o not_o then_o be_v faid_fw-we to_o love_v he_o with_o a_o entire_a and_o undivided_a

of_o he_o we_o must_v long_o thirst_n and_o pant_v more_o after_o he_o rejoice_v more_o in_o his_o favour_n than_o in_o any_o other_o thing_n be_v more_o concern_v to_o retain_v it_o than_o to_o

for_o see_v such_o a_o prevalence_n of_o our_o desire_n towards_o he_o and_o delight_n in_o he_o will_v not_o permit_v we_o to_o desire_v any_o thing_n in_o opposition_n to_o he_o or_o against_o his_o

above_o all_o other_o thing_n it_o follow_v that_o by_o thus_o love_a god_n with_o all_o our_o soul_n our_o love_n unto_o or_o our_o desire_n of_o the_o creature_n can_v never_o be_v inordinate_a or_o

with_o joy_n and_o gladness_n of_o heart_n for_o the_o abundance_n of_o all_o thing_n when_o we_o desire_v marriage_n or_o a_o wife_n that_o we_o may_v not_o burn_v and_o child_n that_o as_o plato_n

christ_n and_o be_v servant_n to_o our_o master_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n in_o all_o thing_n not_o forbid_v by_o he_o must_v i_o needs_o hate_v my_o master_n if_o i_o love_v my_o saviour_n or_o
