in_o french_a it_o be_v as_o common_a to_o say_v je_fw-fr vous_fw-fr aime_fw-fr de_fw-fr tout_fw-fr mon_fw-fr coeur_fw-fr we_o teach_v our_o very_a child_n to_o say_v i_o love_v my_o dad_n i_o love_v my_o mam_n with_o my_o whole_a heart_n nothing_o therefore_o be_v more_o ordinary_a in_o every_o language_n than_o to_o use_v this_o expression_n when_o we_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o intend_v to_o signify_v the_o person_n we_o thus_o love_v be_v love_v exclusive_o of_o all_o other_o but_o only_o that_o he_o be_v very_o much_o belove_v by_o we_o why_o may_v not_o the_o scripture_n say_v this_o of_o that_o god_n we_o be_v oblige_v to_o love_v above_o all_o thing_n and_o before_o all_o thing_n and_o so_o as_o to_o love_v other_o thing_n only_o in_o subordination_n and_o relation_n to_o

love_n of_o benevolence_n and_o yet_o love_n god_n only_o with_o that_o desire_n and_o benevolence_n which_o be_v due_a to_o he_o alone_o when_o mr._n n._n propose_v this_o objection_n against_o his_o
