wherefore_o 1._o do_v they_o obey_v god_n and_o fear_v god_n and_o delight_n in_o the_o commandment_n of_o god_n but_o because_o of_o that_o inward_a love_n they_o bear_v unto_o he_o we_o know_v

if_o they_o be_v earthly_a you_o may_v just_o fear_v your_o estate_n for_o the_o affection_n flow_v from_o love_n and_o therefore_o if_o you_o do_v not_o love_v they_o you_o will_v not_o set_v your_o
