propter_fw-la se_fw-la the_o doubt_n be_v because_o to_o love_v he_o less_o than_o sinful_a pleasure_n and_o the_o creature_n seem_v to_o be_v a_o love_a he_o as_o less_o amiable_a or_o good_a and_o to_o love_v he_o as_o such_o be_v not_o to_o love_v he_o as_o god_n nor_o indeed_o to_o love_n god_n but_o a_o idol_n of_o the_o imagination_n i_o think_v we_o must_v say_v 1._o that_o no_o man_n

suitable_a to_o our_o dark_a and_o weak_a condition_n which_o all_o must_v have_v that_o will_v be_v save_v either_o distinct_o or_o confuse_o as_o to_o know_v and_o love_v he_o as_o the_o infinite_a
