earth_n that_o bear_v weed_n love_n extend_v to_o earth_n &_o heaven_n in_o heaven_n it_o affect_v god_n the_o maker_n and_o mover_n the_o angel_n as_o our_o guardian_n the_o triumphant_a saint_n

of_o love_n be_v universal_a not_o bound_v with_o the_o world_n faith_n believe_v for_o thyself_o but_o charity_n derive_v &_o drive_v the_o effect_n of_o thy_o faith_n to_o other_o thy_o faith_n

god_n &_o we_o a_o everlasting_a bond_n therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n now_o abide_v faith_n etc._n etc._n now._n now_o three_o than_o one_o and_o that_o be_v charity_n when_o we_o have_v possession_n of_o those_o pleasure_n which_o we_o hope_v and_o believe_v what_o long_a use_n be_v there_o of_o faith_n or_o hope_n but_o our_o love_n shall_v not_o end_v with_o our_o life_n we_o shall_v everlasting_o love_v our_o our_o maker_n saviour_n sanctifier_n angel_n &_o saint_n where_o no_o discontent_n shall_v breed_v any_o jar_n in_o our_o hallelujah_n if_o the_o use_n of_o love_n be_v so_o comfortable_a on_o earth_n what_o may_v we_o think_v it_o will_v be_v in_o heaven_n thus_o say_v chryso_v only_a love_n be_v eternal_a now_o faith_n and_o hope_n hold_v up_o the_o hand_n of_o charity_n as_o aaron_n and_o hur_z hold_v up_o the_o hand_n of_o moses_n but_o then_o their_o use_n and_o office_n shall_v cease_v tunc_fw-la non_fw-la erit_fw-la spes_fw-la quando_fw-la
