1._o the_o first_o affection_n be_v love_n whereby_o the_o soul_n be_v move_v and_o incline_v to_o be_v one_o with_o any_o good_a thing_n and_o because_o god_n be_v the_o best_a thing_n even_o

the_o soul_n be_v move_v to_o rest_n and_o stay_v itself_o upon_o any_o thing_n for_o the_o obtain_v the_o good_a it_o will_v and_o because_o god_n be_v of_o infinite_a power_n and_o all_o power_n be_v he_o neither_o have_v any_o creature_n any_o ability_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n without_o he_o therefore_o must_v the_o soul_n rest_v itself_o whole_o and_o only_o upon_o he_o according_a to_o the_o truth_n of_o his_o promise_n for_o the_o attain_n of_o all_o good_a thing_n both_o spiritual_a and_o temporal_a 2._o the_o less_o principal_a faculty_n outward_a be_v alone_o the_o faculty_n
