in_o action_n conformable_a in_o all_o point_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o to_o the_o eternal_a law_n and_o rule_n of_o holiness_n and_o what_o be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o his_o essence_n as_o essential_o then_o do_v god_n in_o affection_n in_o action_n will_v that_o which_o be_v holy_a as_o the_o rule_n of_o all_o holiness_n his_o own_o will_n be_v intrinsical_v and_o essential_a to_o he_o and_o as_o essential_o do_v he_o also_o hate_v all_o sin_n and_o impurity_n the_o nature_n whereof_o be_v to_o be_v repugnant_a to_o his_o will_n non_fw-la ut_fw-la forma_fw-la formae_fw-la

but_o a_o freeness_n from_o all_o contagion_n and_o touch_v of_o inferior_a thing_n for_o as_o that_o gold_n be_v impure_a that_o be_v any_o whit_n embase_v with_o dross_n and_o as_o a_o beautiful_a

elevate_n and_o raise_v the_o affection_n and_o love_v thereof_o to_o thing_n above_o to_o thing_n heavenly_a and_o divine_a but_o above_o all_o thing_n god_n be_v most_o high_a most_o noble_a most_o pure_a most_o heavenly_a and_o therefore_o the_o purity_n and_o holiness_n of_o all_o spirit_n consist_v in_o their_o adherence_n by_o love_n and_o affection_n to_o god_n in_o their_o conjunction_n and_o union_n with_o he_o now_o who_o more_o adherent_a to_o god_n by_o love_n and_o affection_n then_o himself_o who_o more_o conjoin_a to_o he_o by_o nature_n and_o essence_n than_o himself_o as_o essential_o then_o as_o god_n be_v adherent_a and_o conjoin_v to_o himself_o so_o essential_a to_o he_o be_v his_o holiness_n and_o as_o necessary_o as_o he_o love_v himself_o who_o only_o can_v love_v himself_o quantum_fw-la est_fw-la amabilis_fw-la as_o far_o as_o he_o be_v worthy_a love_n and_o that_o be_v infinite_o so_o necessary_o be_v he_o holy_a and_o thus_o this_o truth_n run_v clear_a that_o as_o equal_o and_o necessary_o as_o god_n may_v say_v of_o himself_o i_o be_o so_o equal_o and_o necessary_o for_o truth_n may_v he_o say_v of_o himself_o as_o here_o i_o be_o holy_a but_o our_o god_n that_o be_v holy_a essential_o in_o himself_o be_v also_o holy_a causaliter_fw-la the_o original_a and_o fountain_n of_o all_o holiness_n in_o the_o creature_n it_o be_v he_o that_o
