so_o it_o be_v here_o the_o neear_a the_o union_n the_o close_a the_o communion_n a_o child_n be_v far_o off_o in_o point_n of_o union_n than_o a_o spouse_n a_o servant_n far_o off_o then_o a_o

between_o christ_n and_o the_o saint_n therefore_o the_o close_a communion_n love_n can_v live_v at_o the_o least_o distance_n from_o its_o belove_a love_n let_v nothing_o come_v between_o or_o

his_o communion_n with_o god_n there_o be_v 3_o thing_n that_o be_v according_a to_o our_o apprehension_n of_o they_o 1._o such_o as_o our_o apprehension_n be_v such_o will_v be_v our_o estimation_n

2._o consider_v as_o man_n grow_v up_o in_o conformity_n to_o god_n so_o will_v they_o grow_v up_o in_o communion_n with_o god_n for_o as_o conformity_n be_v a_o ground_n of_o communion_n so_o the_o more_o conformity_n the_o great_a the_o communion_n still_o as_o the_o life_n of_o holiness_n grow_v up_o within_o we_o so_o communion_n with_o god_n flow_v in_o upon_o we_o phil._n 3.10_o that_o i_o
