this_o qu._n be_v not_o the_o creature_n of_o god_n good_a and_o may_v we_o not_o love_v they_o be_v good_a for_o good_a be_v the_o object_n of_o love_n an._n to_o this_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o the_o good_a in_o the_o creature_n be_v very_o little_a very_o little_o compare_v to_o spiritual_a good_a or_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n the_o good_a of_o the_o creature_n be_v very_o little_a and_o so_o little_a that_o it_o can_v make_v we_o good_a but_o rather_o do_v further_o our_o corruption_n and_o feed_v our_o lust_n for_o all_o that_o be_v in_o the_o world_n as_o he_o say_v here_o be_v the_o lust_n of_o the_o flesh_n the_o lust_n of_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o pride_n of_o life_n the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n do_v feed_v our_o lust_n and_o be_v strong_a to_o set_v our_o corruption_n a_o work_n than_o to_o further_a that_o good_a be_v in_o we_o and_o because_o the_o thing_n of_o the_o world_n do_v divert_v we_o from_o god_n or_o discourage_v we_o towards_o good_a or_o corrupt_v the_o good_a be_v in_o we_o therefore_o the_o lord_n have_v forbid_v we_o to_o love_v the_o world_n though_o there_o be_v some_o good_a in_o the_o world_n but_o second_o i_o answer_v that_o we_o may_v love_v the_o world_n and_o the_o thing_n thereof_o as_o a_o man_n love_v his_o tool_n to_o carry_v on_o some_o business_n of_o concernment_n so_o we_o may_v love_v the_o world_n as_o it_o
