sun_n be_v never_o without_o heat_n so_o love_n be_v never_o without_o work_n and_o well-doing_n 6._o love_n be_v like_a unto_o compass_n or_o faith_n and_o love_n make_v up_o a_o perfect_a pair_n of_o compass_n which_o can_v take_v up_o the_o true_a latitude_n of_o a_o christian_a heart_n faith_n be_v the_o one_o foot_n pitch_v in_o the_o centre_n immovable_o while_o love_n walk_v about_o in_o a_o perfect_a circle_n of_o beneficence_n and_o these_o two_o can_v never_o go_v asunder_o 7._o love_n be_v like_a honour_n which_o vary_v itself_o according_a to_o the_o quality_n of_o the_o person_n or_o 8._o like_o unto_o the_o pourcontrel_n or_o peak_n fish_n who_o become_v of_o the_o same_o colour_n the_o thing_n be_v whereon_o it_o fasten_v so_o that_o a_o man_n may_v love_v divers_a person_n with_o all_o his_o heart_n according_a to_o divers_a respect_n a_o father_n as_o a_o father_n a_o mother_n as_o a_o mother_n a_o child_n as_o a_o child_n a_o neighbour_n as_o a_o neighbour_n a_o friend_n as_o a_o friend_n etc._n etc._n this_o flame_n of_o love_n extend_v itself_o like_a unto_o the_o flame_n of_o a_o torch_n which_o light_v many_o other_o without_o impair_n his_o own_o light_n 9_o love_n be_v like_a dew_n for_o that_o as_o this_o fall_v as_o well_o upon_o the_o low_a grass_n as_o upon_o the_o high_a cedar_n the_o poor_a as_o well_o as_o the_o rich_a be_v subject_a to_o love_v and_o to_o be_v belove_v 10._o love_n be_v like_a death_n for_o as_o death_n be_v the_o end_n of_o sin_n so_o be_v love_n because_o he_o who_o love_v god_n cease_v to_o sin_n 11._o love_n be_v like_o the_o sardian-stone_n for_o as_o it_o expel_v fear_v procure_v mirth_n make_v bold_a and_o sharpen_v the_o understanding_n as_o dioscorides_n say_v so_o love_n bring_v joy_n joy_n expel_v fear_n and_o consequent_o make_v bold_a and_o valiant_a and_o whet_v the_o understanding_n to_o the_o contemplation_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n 12._o love_n in_o many_o regard_n be_v like_a or_o may_v be_v compare_v to_o a_o vessel_n or_o ●_o soul_n replete_a or_o replenish_v with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n and_o religion_n be_v like_a unto_o a_o vessel_n full_a of_o liquor_n for_o 1._o as_o a_o full_a vessel_n will_v endure_v the_o fire_n whereas_o a_o empty_a one_o crack_n or_o melt_v so_o the_o soul_n be_v empty_a of_o grace_n and_o goodness_n be_v break_v by_o affliction_n but_o a_o heart_n fill_v with_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n will_v endure_v the_o fiery_a trial_n ii_o as_o a_o full_a vessel_n be_v more_o firm_a and_o stable_a but_o a_o empty_a one_o less_o steady_a and_o more_o easy_a to_o be_v overthrow_v so_o a_o soul_n fill_v with_o god_n love_n be_v more_o staid_a and_o steady_a in_o good_a and_o the_o practice_n thereof_o than_o a_o heart_n void_a of_o love_n iii_o as_o a_o full_a vessel_n be_v in_o no_o part_n separate_v from_o the_o liquor_n it_o hold_v so_o a_o spiritual_o love_v and_o religious_a heart_n be_v never_o separate_v from_o god_n in_o obedience_n iv_o as_o the_o vessel_n and_o the_o liquor_n it_o hold_v be_v of_o the_o same_o figure_n or_o form_n so_o by_o a_o holy_a love_n we_o be_v make_v like_o unto_o god_n or_o after_o his_o image_n v_o as_o the_o full_a vessel_n send_v forth_o liquor_n at_o every_o hole_n so_o he_o who_o heart_n be_v fill_v with_o religious_a love_n be_v always_o speak_v or_o utter_v something_o that_o be_v good_a from_o the_o abundance_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o mouth_n speak_v vi_o as_o the_o full_a vessel_n be_v bend_v downward_o towards_o the_o earth_n spill_v or_o shed_v part_n of_o the_o liquor_n so_o those_o who_o lean_a and_o incline_v unto_o the_o world_n fall_v away_o quoad_fw-la gradum_fw-la in_o regard_n of_o some_o degree_n of_o grace_n receive_v for_o a_o time_n vii_o as_o the_o full_a vessel_n will_v receive_v no_o other_o liquor_n except_o part_v of_o th●t_n which_o it_o hold_v be_v empty_v out_o so_o the_o heart_n fill_v with_o the_o love_n of_o god_n will_v not_o admit_v of_o the_o love_n of_o the_o world_n or_o worldly_a thing_n viii_o as_o the_o full_a vessel_n be_v strike_v sound_v not_o so_o where_o the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v there_o affliction_n be_v undergo_v without_o murmur_v ix_o as_o the_o full_a vessel_n become_v empty_a and_o run_v out_o if_o there_o be_v any_o crack_n or_o cleft_n therein_o so_o if_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o sincere_a but_o dissemble_v all_o show_v or_o seem_n of_o love_n will_v soon_o be_v lose_v x._o as_o the_o full_a vessel_n hold_v and_o have_v more_o within_o than_o be_v see_v without_o so_o a_o heart_n fill_v with_o god_n grace_n and_o love_n can_v show_v forth_o so_o much_o of_o goodness_n without_o as_o it_o have_v within_o qu._n 11._o how_o many_o sort_n of_o love_n be_v there_o an._n 1._o i_o may_v
