which_o may_v bring_v we_o delectation_n and_o pleasure_n as_o meat_n sleep_n recreation_n rest_n apparel_n and_o the_o like_a we_o must_v take_v or_o desire_v no_o more_o then_o that_o we_o can_v not_o omit_v or_o leave_v untaken_v withowt_n offence_n of_o god_n that_o be_v only_a necessary_n and_o necessary_n also_o must_v we_o take_v not_o for_o our_o own_o consolation_n or_o for_o satisfaction_n &_o contentment_n of_o our_o own_o appetite_n and_o sensuality_n consider_v how_o unworthy_a we_o be_v of_o all_o delectation_n through_o the_o grevousnes_n of_o our_o sin_n but_o only_o for_o fulfillinge_v god_n holy_a will_n who_o haith_v ordain_v &_o appoint_v that_o we_o use_v and_o take_v such_o thing_n to_o able_a we_o more_o in_o his_o service_n for_o which_o cause_n

with_o a_o devout_a mind_n will_v tell_v he_o second_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v painful_a &_o grevous_a as_o labour_n toil_n abiection_n contempt_n injury_n affliction_n and_o the_o like_a we_o

will_v serve_v god_n &_o hate_v ourselves_o in_o most_o commendable_a manner_n we_o must_v not_o only_o refuse_v delectable_a thing_n and_o desire_v painful_a &_o grevous_a as_o i_o say_v but_o more_o over_o we_o must_v joy_v and_o be_v glad_a when_o any_o adversity_n or_o sharp_a thing_n happen_v unto_o we_o &_o when_o we_o be_v depryve_v of_o pleasant_a thing_n yea_o of_o necessary_n &_o this_o chief_o when_o they_o be_v do_v by_o some_o other_o against_o our_o will_n or_o upon_o evil_a intention_n which_o yet_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o judge_v withowt_n manifest_a sign_n no_o nor_o then_o neither_o with_o absolute_a &_o full_a determination_n but_o pray_v for_o our_o persecutor_n and_o love_v they_o with_o all_o our_o heart_n because_o in_o truth_n they_o do_v we_o much_o good_a &_o otherwise_o we_o shall_v loose_v the_o inestimable_a reward_n we_o be_v to_o receive_v for_o suffer_v patient_o persecution_n &_o trouble_n all_o these_o three_o thing_n necessary_a for_o the_o holy_a hatred_n of_o ourselves_o the_o sonn_n of_o god_n teach_v we_o both_o by_o his_o word_n &_o by_o his_o own_o example_n as_o s._n peter_n say_v he_o suffer_v for_o we_o 2_o 1_o pet._n 2_o leave_v we_o a_o example_n to_o follow_v his_o step_n who_o most_o bless_a soul_n be_v free_a from_o all_o sport_n of_o sin_n &_o therefore_o his_o holy_a body_n shall_v not_o have_v be_v entreat_v sharp_o or_o have_v suffer_v any_o grevamce_n at_o all_o yet_o will_v he_o for_o our_o example_n who_o he_o most_o tender_o love_v refuse_v and_o set_v nothing_o by_o all_o delectable_a thing_n &_o consent_n that_o his_o body_n &_o soul_n shall_v suffer_v excedinge_v torment_n &_o gretues_fw-la as_o it_o be_v manifest_a in_o his_o holy_a gospel_n wherefore_o much_o shame_n &_o reproach_n it_o be_v to_o all_o that_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v christian_n and_o scholar_n of_o christ_n not_o to_o learn_v this_o holy_a hatred_n neither_o by_o his_o word_n say_v he_o that_o hatethe_v not_o

also_o to_o eternal_a life_n &_o joy_n and_o after_o once_o we_o have_v consider_v &_o know_v they_o to_o be_v such_o the_o will_n which_o have_v aversion_n and_o horror_n of_o they_o before_o may_v

will_v free_v to_o choose_v to_o do_v they_o or_o not_o you_o say_v true_o say_v alphonso_n the_o will_v ever_o remain_v free_a &_o haith_n perfect_a dominion_n &_o liberty_n to_o do_v or_o not_o to_o

to_o do_v a_o good_a thing_n which_o natural_o it_o do_v abhor_v by_o reason_n perhaps_o it_o be_v painful_a hard_a or_o unpleasante_n we_o must_v as_o i_o say_v before_o consider_v &_o apprehend_v

you_o think_v good_a we_o will_v now_o pass_v to_o the_o love_n of_o our_o neighbour_n do_v so_o i_o pray_v you_o say_v probus_n of_o the_o love_n of_o our_o neighbour_n as_o the_o love_n of_o god_n say_v alphonso_n require_v before_o it_o all_o the_o exercyse_n and_o consideration_n we_o speak_v of_o so_o the_o love_n of_o our_o neighbour_n &_o of_o ourselves_o require_v before_o they_o the_o

then_o that_o he_o which_o desire_v to_o serve_v &_o please_v god_n must_v mark_v and_o observe_v two_o thing_n the_o first_o be_v what_o god_n will_v have_v he_o to_o do_v the_o second_o in_o what_o manner_n he_o will_v have_v it_o do_v for_o he_o shall_v have_v small_a thank_v or_o reward_v with_o god_n that_o shall_v do_v his_o commandment_n if_o he_o do_v it_o not_o in_o the_o manner_n he_o command_v it_o he_o haith_v bid_v we_o to_o love_v one_o a_o other_o say_v this_o be_v my_o precept_n that_o you_o love_v one_o a_o other_o and_o with_o this_o in_o what_o sort_n also_o we_o shall_v

therefore_o to_o know_v how_o we_o ought_v one_o to_o love_n a_o other_o we_o must_v consider_v how_o our_o lord_n love_v us._n first_o by_o many_o way_n &_o mean_n he_o draw_v &_o induce_v we_o to_o the_o love_n of_o god_n then_o he_o teach_v we_o by_o his_o own_o example_n to_o suffer_v patient_o all_o the_o adversity_n of_o this_o world_n never_o sack_v the_o reins_n to_o vain_a delight_n above_o that_o which_o may_v be_v necessary_a to_o the_o sustentation_n of_o his_o body_n then_o he_o die_v for_o we_o that_o we_o may_v have_v thereby_o virtue_n grace_n &_o glory_n in_o this_o kind_n of_o love_n he_o marvellous_o exceed_v &_o be_v a_o most_o vehement_n enemy_n to_o all_o vain_a love_n which_o now_o pass_v among_o we_o &_o be_v ordinary_o very_o corrupt_a &_o infecticus_fw-la to_o our_o soul_n create_v to_o be_v the_o temple_n of_o god_n accord_v to_o this_o example_n therefore_o of_o our_o lord_n we_o ought_v to_o frame_v our_o love_n towards_o our_o
