with_o the_o same_o love_n he_o love_v his_o son_n but_o sin_n make_v the_o creature_n the_o object_n of_o the_o hatred_n of_o god_n but_o you_o will_v say_v god_n child_n have_v sin_n of_o its_o

that_o which_o make_v a_o man_n the_o object_n of_o god_n hatred_n must_v needs_o be_v very_o evil_a as_o thus_o when_o any_o affection_n run_v in_o one_o current_n it_o must_v needs_o run_v very_o
