of_o the_o affection_n it_o be_v necessary_a they_o shall_v agree_v together_o for_o as_o reason_n guide_v before_o the_o affection_n will_v follow_v after_o therefore_o we_o may_v always_o judge_v

of_o true_a love_n of_o true_a faith_n and_o of_o true_a patience_n we_o see_v then_o that_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o hire_a love_n because_o it_o may_v be_v such_o not_o only_o in_o respect_n
