this_o self-love_n have_v extend_v itself_o and_o fill_v the_o space_n the_o love_n of_o god_n have_v leave_v and_o so_o he_o love_v only_o himself_o and_o all_o thing_n for_o himself_o that_o be_v to_o say_v infinite_o this_o be_v the_o original_a of_o self-love_n it_o be_v natural_a to_o adam_n and_o just_a in_o his_o innocency_n but_o it_o become_v criminal_a and_o immoderate_a after_o his_o

whilst_o innocent_a because_o his_o life_n be_v very_o please_v to_o god_n it_o be_v the_o same_o to_o man_n and_o death_n will_v have_v be_v horrible_a because_o it_o will_v have_v put_v a_o end_n

of_o grace_n the_o fear_n of_o death_n be_v natural_a but_o it_o be_v in_o the_o state_n of_o innocence_n because_o it_o can_v not_o enter_v into_o paradise_n but_o in_o finish_v a_o innocent_a life_n it_o be_v just_a to_o hate_v it_o when_o it_o can_v not_o happen_v but_o in_o separate_v a_o holy_a soul_n from_o a_o holy_a body_n but_o it_o be_v just_a to_o love_v it_o when_o it_o separate_v a_o
