show_v how_o great_a this_o love_n and_o devotion_n ought_v to_o be_v that_o be_v to_o say_v it_o ought_v to_o be_v next_o to_o our_o love_n and_o devotion_n to_o jesus_n and_o mary_n chap._n iii_o of_o the_o great_a love_n and_o special_a devotion_n we_o owe_v saint_n joseph_n and_o that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v next_o to_o that_o we_o have_v for_o jesus_n and_o mary_n certain_o none_o can_v refuse_v to_o pay_v this_o debt_n of_o love_n to_o our_o amiable_a saint_n joseph_n to_o this_o object_n of_o the_o love_n of_o jesus_n and_o mary_n and_o to_o one_o so_o high_o belove_v by_o god_n himself_o for_o can_v the_o eternal_a wisdom_n error_n be_v deceive_v can_v mary_n engage_v her_o affection_n without_o reason_n or_o can_v we_o charge_v god_n with_o partiality_n because_o he_o love_v saint_n joseph_n next_o to_o jesus_n and_o mary_n certain_o such_o thought_n as_o these_o can_v never_o enter_v into_o a_o pious_a heart_n wherefore_o we_o must_v conclude_v that_o since_o he_o be_v so_o amiable_a they_o can_v not_o elsewhere_o lodge_v their_o affection_n better_o or_o give_v a_o present_a of_o their_o love_n to_o any_o one_o more_o deserve_v than_o saint_n joseph_n let_v we_o therefore_o see_v how_o they_o love_v he_o and_o endeavour_v to_o love_v he_o as_o they_o do_v believe_v that_o god_n have_v render_v he_o lovely_a above_o other_o to_o move_v we_o to_o love_v he_o above_o other_o and_o move_v we_o to_o follow_v the_o track_n of_o his_o own_o divine_a affection_n towards_o saint_n joseph_n it_o be_v hereby_o we_o shall_v know_v that_o we_o be_v proficient_o in_o this_o divine_a school_n of_o love_n when_o we_o come_v to_o love_v saint_n joseph_n above_o all_o other_o saint_n next_o to_o jesus_n and_o mary_n in_o which_o consist_v that_o special_a devotion_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v to_o he_o i_o say_v not_o this_o to_o lessen_v your_o love_n and_o devotion_n to_o any_o other_o saint_n but_o to_o augment_v your_o love_n and_o devotion_n to_o this_o saint_n who_o in_o regard_n of_o his_o merit_n hold_v the_o first_o rank_n in_o heaven_n and_o earth_n not_o only_o upon_o account_n of_o that_o love_n that_o jesus_n and_o mary_n bear_v he_o but_o of_o the_o love_n that_o god_n have_v manifest_v towards_o he_o by_o those_o high_a prerogative_n he_o have_v bestow_v upon_o he_o not_o but_o that_o god_n have_v also_o very_o high_o favour_v many_o other_o saint_n of_o his_o heavenly_a court_n such_o as_o saint_n john_n baptist_n who_o the_o divine_a word_n declare_v the_o 11.11_o the_o inter_fw-la natos_fw-la mulierum_fw-la non_fw-la

star_n of_o the_o first_o magnitude_n in_o the_o glorious_a firmament_n of_o heaven_n as_o well_o as_o several_a other_o saint_n like_v unto_o these_o but_o we_o must_v remember_v what_o the_o learned_a and_o devout_a gerson_n say_v that_o if_o the_o first_o rank_n and_o hierarchy_n in_o heaven_n be_v that_o of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n so_o the_o second_o be_v this_o of_o jesus_n mary_n and_o joseph_n and_o that_o all_o other_o saint_n be_v of_o a_o low_a rank_n and_o of_o a_o different_a hierarchy_n these_o other_o great_a saint_n hold_v indeed_o the_o first_o place_n in_o their_o rank_n and_o hierarchy_n according_a to_o the_o ordinary_a law_n of_o love_n but_o not_o in_o that_o of_o the_o order_n of_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n and_o in_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o incarnation_n wherein_o those_o be_v only_o comprise_v who_o most_o near_o relate_v to_o jesus_n and_o mary_n namely_o saint_n joseph_n who_o complete_v this_o create_a trinity_n as_o i_o before_o signify_v and_o therefore_o make_v a_o hierarchy_n apart_o of_o far_o great_a excellency_n and_o dignity_n than_o the_o rest_n but_o still_o to_o set_v forth_o more_o at_o large_a saint_n joseph_n dignity_n i_o will_v here_o declare_v the_o source_n and_o order_n of_o this_o hierarchy_n which_o comprehend_v none_o but_o jesus_n mary_n and_o joseph_n we_o must_v therefore_o take_v notice_n that_o god_n who_o be_v admirable_a in_o his_o work_n be_v not_o content_v only_o to_o make_v man_n after_o his_o own_o image_n and_o likeness_n but_o will_v also_o make_v a_o create_a image_n and_o likeness_n of_o the_o increated_a trinity_n in_o these_o three_o wonderful_a personage_n jesus_n mary_n and_o joseph_n who_o he_o choose_v for_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o incarnation_n so_o that_o as_o the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o increated_a trinity_n have_v all_o cooperate_v to_o the_o sacred_a mystery_n of_o the_o incarnation_n so_o they_o will_v also_o make_v a_o illustrious_a and_o create_a emblem_n of_o themselves_o to_o cooperate_v likewise_o towards_o the_o same_o mystery_n for_o example_n first_o in_o the_o subsistence_n of_o the_o two_o nature_n of_o jesus_n christ_n his_o soul_n body_n and_o divinity_n be_v unite_v in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o by_o the_o union_n of_o the_o admirable_a love_n and_o singular_a report_n that_o these_o three_o person_n jesus_n mary_n and_o joseph_n have_v to_o one_o another_o they_o contribute_v to_o it_o upon_o earth_n mary_n bear_v the_o image_n of_o god_n the_o father_n jesus_n be_v the_o son_n according_a to_o his_o humanity_n in_o a_o just_a likeness_n to_o what_o he_o be_v in_o heaven_n as_o he_o be_v the_o word_n or_o son_n of_o god_n and_o saint_n joseph_n represent_v the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o quality_n of_o spouse_n to_o the_o bless_a virgin_n or_o in_o the_o love_n he_o have_v for_o jesus_n and_o mary_n which_o he_o manifest_v by_o the_o care_n he_o take_v both_o of_o the_o one_o and_o of_o the_o other_o what_o affection_n therefore_o be_v due_a to_o this_o admirable_a and_o venerable_a create_v trinity_n as_o the_o learned_a gerson_n style_v it_o either_o in_o general_a or_o in_o particular_a and_o if_o the_o great_a honour_n be_v confer_v upon_o they_o by_o this_o title_n why_o ought_v not_o the_o great_a love_n to_o accompany_v it_o if_o love_n attend_v merit_n what_o can_v be_v next_o the_o uncreated_a trinity_n but_o the_o create_v and_o next_o to_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n but_o jesus_n mary_n and_o joseph_n who_o ought_v to_o take_v the_o next_o place_n in_o our_o affection_n and_o as_o it_o will_v be_v amiss_o for_o any_o one_o first_o to_o love_n god_n the_o father_n second_o to_o love_n god_n the_o son_n and_o then_o break_v the_o order_n of_o the_o trinity_n to_o love_v one_o of_o the_o angel_n place_v the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o same_o rank_n with_o these_o holy_a spirit_n so_o infinite_o inferior_a to_o he_o in_o all_o thing_n if_o therefore_o this_o will_v be_v very_o preposterous_a since_o by_o deny_v his_o first_o affection_n to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n he_o will_v refuse_v he_o the_o first_o of_o all_o possible_a devotion_n which_o he_o deserve_o challenge_v as_o his_o right_n it_o be_v a_o undoubted_a truth_n that_o we_o can_v render_v a_o great_a honour_n than_o by_o love_n and_o by_o offer_v our_o heart_n in_o homage_n wherefore_o as_o none_o can_v divide_v their_o love_n and_o devotion_n to_o the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o uncreated_a trinity_n to_o give_v it_o elsewhere_o no_o more_o can_v they_o do_v so_o in_o order_n to_o the_o create_a trinity_n but_o must_v love_v jesus_n mary_n and_o joseph_n after_o the_o uncreated_a trinity_n before_o any_o other_o object_n though_o never_o so_o perfect_a and_o therefore_o to_o love_n jesus_n and_o mary_n and_o in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o love_v any_o saint_n or_o angel_n will_v be_v to_o break_v the_o order_n of_o love_n and_o become_v injurious_a to_o this_o create_a trinity_n rob_v it_o of_o that_o honour_n god_n have_v give_v it_o and_o it_o will_v be_v to_o displace_v saint_n joseph_n who_o ought_v to_o have_v the_o three_o rank_n in_o the_o sanctuary_n of_o our_o affection_n which_o will_v clear_o appear_v no_o less_o a_o defect_n of_o judgement_n than_o of_o devotion_n wherefore_o our_o great_a devotion_n after_o that_o to_o jesus_n and_o mary_n aught_o to_o be_v to_o saint_n joseph_n without_o any_o fear_n or_o apprehension_n that_o any_o saint_n or_o angel_n will_v thereby_o be_v disoblige_v they_o all_o give_v he_o the_o precedency_n know_v very_o well_o what_o honour_n and_o devotion_n be_v due_a to_o the_o spouse_n of_o mary_n the_o mother_n of_o god_n and_o to_o the_o repute_a father_n of_o jesus_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o to_o the_o three_o person_n of_o the_o admirable_a create_v trinity_n of_o jesus_n mary_n and_o joseph_n chap._n iu._n what_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o it_o be_v so_o long_o before_o saint_n joseph_n the_o best_a belove_v of_o god_n and_o most_o amiable_a of_o all_o the_o
