all_o truth_n and_o verity_n i_o wish_v thou_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n his_o holy_a spirit_n to_o conduct_v &_o lead_v thou_o into_o all_o such_o thing_n as_o shall_v stand_v with_o thine_o own_o

thy_o present_a pain_n as_o endless_a fruit_n may_v be_v thy_o gain_n this_o treatise_n read_v and_o herein_o view_v all_o duty_n to_o thy_o saviour_n dew_n for_o this_o do_v teach_v for_o thy_o behoof_n the_o lord_n thy_o god_n how_o thou_o shall_v love_v for_o love_v of_o thou_o himself_o that_o give_v to_o death_n from_o death_n thy_o soul_n to_o save_v ¶_o a_o introduction_n to_o the_o love_n of_o god._n ¶_o the_o first_o chapter_n that_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o thy_o neighbour_n can_v be_v separate_v with_o wakeful_a heed_n and_o diligent_a mind_n earnest_a endeavour_n and_o continual_a carefulness_n it_o become_v &_o behove_v we_o to_o search_v and_o to_o learn_v how_o and_o what_o way_n we_o may_v escape_v hell_n torment_n and_o purchase_v heaven_n joy_n since_o neither_o that_o torment_n may_v be_v avoid_v nor_o that_o joy_n procure_v except_o the_o mean_n be_v know_v how_o that_o one_o may_v be_v shun_v &_o that_o other_o attain_v let_v we_o therefore_o the_o more_o willing_o hear_v and_o the_o more_o diligent_o consider_v the_o word_n of_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o which_o he_o propose_v these_o two_o thing_n to_o be_v that_o heaven_n joy_n be_v unspeakable_a and_o which_o be_v the_o way_n that_o lead_v unto_o life_n 2._o for_o he_o say_v that_o neither_o eye_n have_v see_v nor_o ear_n have_v hear_v nor_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n conceive_v the_o thing_n which_o god_n have_v prepare_v for_o they_o that_o love_v he_o loe_o now_o even_o by_o this_o that_o the_o apostle_n say_v that_o god_o have_v prepare_v good_a thing_n for_o they_o that_o love_v he_o it_o appereath_n that_o love_n be_v both_o the_o way_n and_o the_o mean_a by_o the_o which_o we_o aspire_v unto_o they_o but_o the_o love_n of_o god_n without_o the_o love_n of_o thy_o neighbour_n can_v be_v have_v as_o witness_v we_o john_n who_o say_v he_o that_o love_v not_o his_o brother_n who_o he_o see_v 4_o how_o can_v he_o love_v god_n who_o he_o see_v not_o and_o this_o commandment_n have_v we_o from_o god_n that_o whoso_o love_v god_n shall_v also_o love_v his_o neighbour_n and_o thus_o in_o these_o two_o love_n consist_v that_o true_a love_n which_o apostle_n speak_v of_o say_v and_o yet_o show_v i_o unto_o you_o a_o more_o excellent_a way_n 12._o this_o more_o excellent_a way_n be_v love_n which_o lead_v to_o that_o heavenly_a country_n and_o without_o the_o which_o no_o man_n can_v come_v unto_o it_o but_o who_o be_v in_o this_o way_n or_o who_o know_v it_o forsooth_o he_o that_o love_v both_o god_n and_o his_o neighbour_n how_o then_o be_v god_n first_o and_o next_o the_o neighbour_n to_o be_v love_v we_o must_v love_v god_n more_o they_o ourselves_o and_o our_o neighbour_n as_o ourselves_o we_o love_v god_n more_o than_o ourselves_o when_o we_o in_o all_o thing_n prefer_v his_o pleasure_n and_o commandment_n before_o our_o own_o will_n but_o our_o neighbour_n we_o be_v not_o command_v to_o love_v above_o ourselves_o but_o as_o ourselves_o that_o be_v to_o will_n and_o to_o wish_v unto_o he_o all_o the_o goodness_n which_o we_o ought_v to_o will_n or_o wish_n to_o ourselves_o and_o special_o the_o everlasting_a joy_n and_o bliss_n and_o to_o the_o attainment_n thereof_o to_o assist_v and_o to_o help_v he_o both_o with_o bodily_a &_o spiritual_a good_n as_o reason_n require_v and_o ability_n permit_v in_o consideration_n whereof_o the_o lord_n say_v in_o the_o gospel_n 8._o whatsoever_o you_o will_v that_o man_n shall_v do_v unto_o you_o do_v you_o even_o the_o same_o unto_o they_o also_o and_o s_n john_n say_v 3._o let_v we_o not_o love_v in_o word_n neither_o in_o tongue_n but_o in_o deed_n and_o verity_n but_o who_o be_v those_o neighbour_n who_o we_o ought_v thus_o to_o love_v true_o all_o christian_a man_n jew_n and_o heathen_a friend_n and_o enemy_n ¶_o the_o second_o chapter_n ¶_o why_o and_o how_o god_n be_v to_o be_v love_v since_o all_o our_o soul_n health_n than_o consist_v in_o
