consider_v y_o it_o they_o come_v from_o god_n who_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o good_a work_n &_o without_o who_o we_o be_v not_o able_a to_o think_v so_o much_o as_o one_o good_a thought_n much_o

charity_n be_v a_o virtue_n by_o the_o which_o god_n be_v love_v for_o the_o love_n of_o himself_o &_o our_o neighbour_n for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n or_o in_o god_n it_o be_v say_v in_o the_o

of_o all_o the_o rest_n for_o he_o that_o have_v not_o charity_n have_v nothing_o in_o he_o to_o obtain_v everlasting_a life_n this_o charity_n be_v give_v when_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v give_v for_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v resident_a in_o the_o soul_n make_v we_o to_o love_n god_n for_o the_o love_n of_o himself_o and_o our_o neighbour_n for_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o love_n god_n for_o the_o love_n of_o himself_o be_v to_o love_v he_o for_o his_o own_o sake_n and_o because_o he_o be_v god_n and_o that_o be_v to_o be_v do_v three_o way_n that_o be_v to_o say_v to_o love_n god_n above_o all_o thing_n entire_o above_o all_o thing_n orderly_o above_o all_o thing_n preciouslye_o we_o will_v declare_v these_o three_o way_n of_o love_a god_n the_o more_o plain_o that_o everye_o one_o may_v know_v how_o to_o love_v god_n to_o love_n god_n entire_o be_v to_o have_v a_o good_a will_n to_o god_n and_o to_o rejoice_v great_o that_o he_o be_v such_o a_o one_o as_o he_o be_v but_o for_o the_o better_a understanding_n hereof_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o show_v what_o it_o be_v to_o love_v to_o love_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o wish_v well_o to_o every_o body_n as_o when_o i_o love_v a_o man_n i_o wish_v as_o well_o to_o he_o as_o to_o himself_o now_o there_o be_v two_o manner_n of_o love_n one_o be_v call_v a_o covetous_a love_n as_o when_o a_o man_n love_v any_o thing_n for_o his_o own_o profit_n sake_n or_o his_o particular_a honour_n and_o in_o such_o sort_n man_n love_v their_o horse_n their_o victual_n and_o all_o other_o worldly_a necessary_n the_o other_o love_n be_v call_v the_o love_n of_o friendship_n or_o of_o good_a will_n as_o when_o one_o love_v a_o thing_n for_o the_o love_n of_o itself_o without_o respect_n of_o particular_a honour_n or_o profit_n as_o when_o i_o see_v a_o man_n wise_a and_o virtuous_a i_o take_v pleasure_n in_o he_o and_o wish_v that_o the_o virtue_n which_o be_v in_o he_o may_v not_o only_o be_v continue_v but_o also_o increase_v in_o he_o and_o this_o do_v i_o béeinge_v to_o he_o well_o affectionate_a and_o love_v he_o with_o delyghte_n there_o be_v not_o in_o god_n any_o good_a that_o be_v not_o like_o himself_o for_o his_o might_n his_o wisdom_n his_o justice_n his_o mercy_n his_o riches_n and_o his_o goodness_n be_v heavenlye_a as_o he_o himself_o be_v who_o be_v all_o wise_a all_o just_a all_o merciful_a all_o scotfree_a and_o almighty_a so_o that_o we_o love_v god_n above_o all_o thing_n entire_o when_o we_o rejoice_v and_o be_v glad_a that_o he_o be_v as_o he_o be_v without_o regard_v our_o proper_a profit_n or_o honour_n thou_o ought_v not_o to_o love_v god_n with_o a_o covetous_a love_n that_o be_v to_o say_v thou_o must_v not_o love_n god_n only_o because_o he_o give_v thou_o all_o thing_n profitable_a for_o thou_o for_o in_o so_o do_v thou_o love_v thyself_o better_a then_o thou_o love_v god_n if_o thou_o love_v god_n right_o he_o will_v reward_v thou_o great_o but_o this_o love_n must_v be_v single_a and_o it_o must_v be_v pure_a and_o not_o depend_v upon_o a_o other_o thing_n for_o who_o so_o love_v god_n for_o gain_n love_v he_o but_o as_o his_o horse_n in_o who_o he_o delyghte_v because_o he_o serve_v his_o turn_n god_n ought_v to_o be_v love_v lovinglye_o without_o respect_n of_o particular_a profit_n but_o thou_o may_v ask_v i_o a_o question_n may_v i_o not_o love_n god_n to_o this_o end_n and_o under_o this_o condition_n that_o he_o may_v give_v i_o heaven_n which_o be_v the_o sovereign_a good_a and_o principall_a thing_n that_o man_n can_v wish_v for_o after_o this_o life_n the_o doctor_n say_v no._n if_o we_o consider_v well_o of_o the_o thing_n belove_v which_o be_v god_n for_o in_o so_o do_v thou_o love_v thyself_o better_a then_o thou_o love_v god._n thou_o may_v come_v to_o heaven_n by_o this_o mean_n as_o namely_o by_o keep_v his_o commandment_n by_o give_v alm_n and_o

it_o as_o thou_o have_v have_v it_o be_v god_n do_v and_o no_o will_n of_o thou_o if_o thou_o have_v have_v no_o occasion_n nor_o convenient_a time_n nor_o fit_a opportunity_n to_o fall_v into_o

who_o have_v commit_v most_o sin_n be_v most_o indebt_v to_o god_n even_o so_o be_v he_o who_o never_o sin_v god_n debtor_n for_o be_v not_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n his_o guide_n he_o will_v do_v

this_o that_o also_o forgive_v sin_n it_o be_v apparent_a enough_o that_o he_o be_v a_o blasphemer_n for_o to_o pardon_v and_o forgive_v sin_n belong_v only_o to_o god_n no_o doubt_v our_o lord_n
