first_o love_v he_o the_o love_n whereby_o god_n love_v we_o not_o be_v comprehend_v nor_o change_v for_o he_o love_v we_o not_o only_o since_o the_o time_n we_o be_v reconcile_v to_o he_o by_o the_o

that_o abyss_n of_o nothing_o and_o make_v i_o that_o something_o which_o now_o i_o be_o be_v make_v he_o fall_v in_o love_n with_o his_o own_o work_n mere_o out_o of_o the_o abundance_n of_o his_o

as_o we_o be_v which_o go_v so_o far_o that_o he_o spare_v not_o his_o own_o only_a son_n but_o deliver_v he_o to_o death_n and_o the_o death_n of_o the_o cross_n for_o all_o of_o we_o we_o who_o
