for_o that_o the_o do_n of_o the_o foresay_a thing_n be_v very_o difficult_a unto_o we_o see_v that_o as_o in_o adam_n be_v we_o make_v blind_a &_o as_o the_o concupiscence_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v

inasmuch_o as_o in_o such_o a_o case_n the_o love_n of_o god_n make_v unto_o we_o all_o painful_a travail_n easy_a all_o bitterness_n sweet_a everye_o yoke_n pleasant_a and_o everye_o burden_n light_n

but_o it_o be_v needful_a that_o we_o feel_v thorough_o with_o the_o spirit_n god_n divine_a goodness_n that_o god_n may_v draw_v we_o unto_o he_o more_o than_o the_o world_n let_v we_o pray_v therefore_o unto_o the_o lord_n that_o he_o will_v give_v we_o such_o light_n and_o that_o he_o will_v increase_v it_o in_o we_o every_o day_n more_o and_o more_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o with_o

have_v show_v we_o great_a love_n than_o in_o all_o the_o other_o sermon_n 8._o forasmuch_o as_o to_o kindle_v in_o we_o divine_a love_n it_o be_v very_o profitable_a to_o know_v what_o thing_n it_o be_v wherein_o god_n have_v show_v unto_o we_o great_a love_n than_o in_o all_o other_o thing_n i_o have_v judge_v that_o it_o will_v be_v requisite_a to_o consider_v among_o all_o the_o sign_n of_o love_n which_o god_n have_v show_v which_o be_v the_o great_a some_o say_v that_o the_o great_a sign_n of_o love_n which_o god_n have_v show_v unto_o man_n be_v when_o he_o create_v he_o after_o his_o own_o similitude_n and_o likeness_n capable_a of_o he_o and_o to_o beatitude_n and_o moreover_o have_v give_v to_o he_o a_o be_v so_o noble_a enrich_v he_o with_o many_o gift_n and_o grace_n with_o make_v he_o lord_n over_o all_o creature_n so_o that_o when_o adam_n open_v his_o eye_n and_o see_v that_o god_n have_v create_v this_o world_n for_o he_o that_o he_o conserve_v and_o govern_v it_o for_o the_o service_n of_o he_o and_o that_o every_o creature_n be_v obedient_a unto_o he_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o he_o confess_v all_o his_o beatitude_n to_o come_v of_o he_o may_v seek_v to_o set_v forth_o his_o glory_n see_v his_o excellency_n he_o feel_v towards_o he_o a_o singular_a love_n of_o god_n other_o say_v that_o the_o great_a sign_n of_o his_o love_n be_v in_o forbear_v sin_n and_o this_o inasmuch_o as_o man_n not_o know_v the_o great_a charity_n and_o goodness_n of_o god_n perfect_o by_o his_o so_o great_a benefit_n god_n suffer_v he_o to_o fall_v and_o to_o injury_n and_o dishonour_n he_o that_o he_o may_v have_v occasion_n to_o show_v he_o unto_o he_o as_o to_o a_o enemy_n with_o great_a superaboundance_n of_o love_n to_o the_o intent_n that_o he_o may_v the_o better_o feel_v how_o great_o god_n love_v he_o there_o have_v be_v also_o some_o which_o have_v say_v that_o as_o when_o the_o father_n show_v great_a love_n unto_o the_o son_n when_o he_o chastise_v he_o then_o when_o he_o dandle_v with_o he_o even_o so_o when_o god_n chastise_v we_o for_o our_o benefit_n show_v unto_o we_o great_a love_n then_o when_o he_o give_v we_o worldly_a prosperity_n but_o those_o which_o be_v more_o near_o unto_o the_o truth_n have_v say_v that_o the_o most_o high_a sign_n of_o love_n which_o god_n have_v show_v unto_o we_o have_v be_v that_o god_n be_v more_o high_a than_o he_o can_v come_v unto_o we_o which_o be_v unworthy_a most_o vile_a lewd_a person_n and_o his_o enemy_n more_o love_n than_o he_o can_v descend_v unto_o have_v i_o say_v not_o sell_v but_o through_o mere_a grace_n give_v a_o gift_n most_o high_a and_o worthy_a that_o can_v be_v not_o a_o servant_n or_o one_o of_o his_o friend_n but_o his_o own_o dear_a and_o only_o beget_v son_n a_o thing_n to_o he_o more_o dear_a and_o entire_o belove_a he_o can_v not_o give_v we_o not_o poor_a but_o the_o rich_a of_o all_o divine_a treasure_n virtue_n and_o grace_n yea_o in_o christ_n he_o have_v give_v we_o all_o thing_n even_o himself_o and_o moreover_o he_o have_v give_v he_o to_o we_o to_o the_o intent_n that_o he_o may_v serve_v to_o wash_v we_o from_o all_o our_o filthy_a and_o stink_a sin_n with_o his_o own_o blood_n and_o to_o die_v for_o we_o upon_o the_o cross_n he_o have_v also_o give_v he_o unto_o we_o for_o a_o example_n direction_n and_o rule_v for_o a_o pleasant_a
