133 III| belief, whom we ought to love because he hath humbled
134 III| unto a poor man for the love of our Lady. She was much
135 III| to take away from me the love of my God whom I have with
136 III| that is without earthly love. Or she is said of aga,

185 IV| most fervent and burning love, for he would have known
186 IV| our Lord, for the great love that he had to him he might
187 IV| is he your king that ye love so much that for his love
188 IV| love so much that for his love ye had liefer die than live,
189 IV| his soul knoweth them that love him though they speak not
190 IV| that was the charity and love of Jesu Christ. Ne he desired
191 IV| things, thou shalt see the love of him in Jesu Christ. And
192 IV| Jesu Christ. And with this love he thought himself blessed.
193 IV| he coveted more with the love of God to be least of them
194 IV| punished, than without his love to be among sovereign honours,
195 IV| for to depart from his love, for that departing should
196 IV| burning than fire in the love to preach the Word ot God,
197 IV| faithful and true in the love of Jesu Christ. And when
198 IV| it was the force of the love withinforth, that overcame
199 IV| martyrdom, when for the love of God her only death sufficed
200 IV| that anon he burned in her love, and sent his servants and
201 IV| our Lord, and for Christ's love they all were beheaded by
202 IV| to poor people for God's love. And at last they slept
203 IV| showed so great signs of love, that he took from her seven
204 IV| embraced her all in his love, and made her right familiar
205 IV| withhold his tears. And for the love of her he raised Lazarus
206 IV| our Lord, for the burning love that she had to Jesu Christ
207 IV| tofore all other, that is the love of God. And it is said that
208 IV| For they both were of one love and of one study and of
209 IV| one will. They were of one love for to avenge our Lord,
210 IV| of a poor woman for the love of S. James to bear her

215 IV| There he found written: Love your enemies. And this blessed
216 IV| and commanded that this love should be kept to them that
217 IV| ointment is the ointment of love, and is so precious that
218 IV| God is none better than love, for there is nothing more
219 IV| his precious blood for the love of our Lord, and after,
220 IV| the faith and fervour of love. Whereof Maximin saith,
221 IV| fire of hell, and by the love of Christ not to fear the
222 IV| doom. Thirdly, in burning love. Maximin and Ambrose say
223 IV| in dread, more ardent in love, and more joyous in burning.
224 IV| the greater flame of the love of God burneth him withinforth.
225 IV| for I am life perdurable, love not corruptible, habitation

229 V| Christ, and lived in divine love and holy works. And how
230 V| divers fastings for Christ's love. And the more his members
231 V| entended, burning in the love of God, toward his country
232 V| smelling. He was hot inburning love, humble in conversation,
233 V| not to his infancy in good love, for he arose and felt that
234 V| the spirit of brotherly love of charity, said: My brother,
235 V| she went, he that was her love should be to her a cruel
236 V| suspended or taken up from the love of the world, and he was
237 V| say ententive, in heavenly love, and he was suspended, that
238 V| much for to draw him to her love. And then S. Bartholomew
239 V| he might come in for the love of S. Bartholomew, and she
240 V| necessary and follow thy master, love thy lord, give thy blood
241 V| dignity, or for the fervent love that he had, or for the
242 V| Secondly, for the fervent love, for like as the month of
243 V| of the fire of the divine love, wherefore he saith himself
244 V| trembled for dread of good love, and I found myself right
245 V| thenceforth achauffed in the love of God, saying: Lord, thou
246 V| complained Dido which died for love. Also of that he had stolen
247 V| was not ententive for the love of such goods, but day and
248 V| city of the devil maketh a love to himself, growing the
249 V| And the city of God made a love growing unto the despite
250 V| appeareth what reverence and love S. Jerome had to him in
251 V| honour as it appertaineth to love our Lord Jesu Christ dwelling
252 V| his brother, and began to love the wife of his brother,
253 V| to her fellow: My sweet love, hast thou heard nothing?
254 V| go? All the people here love you well, and will ye go
255 V| science, divine or godly by love,which assembleth the lover
256 V| voice debonair that sweet love which ought to please him.
257 V| for dread, and some for love, and some for promise of
258 V| maketh ready for them that love him perfectly. And Adrian
259 V| door to me, Natalie, my love and lady, for I have not
260 V| go then forth, my sweet love, that thou mayst see his
261 V| esprised and chauffed in her love, and was greatly troubled
262 V| manner she was taken in his love, and how she burned in desiring
263 V| made a priest. And for the love of chastity he was reputed
264 V| entended more to the burning love of God than to the outerward
265 V| and all embraced in the love of God, said to the emperor:
266 V| Maurice, embraced in the love and faith of Jesu Christ,
267 V| And he was covetous of the love of Justina, and burnt in
268 V| which also burnt in her love. Then he called a devil
269 V| And Cyprian said to him: I love a virgin, canst thou not
270 V| kindle her heart in thy love, that I shall compel her
271 V| her heart unto unlawful love. And when she felt it, she
272 V| enforced to move her heart in love, and inflame her courage
273 V| she had languished for his love. And when Cyprian saw him
274 V| burning and desirous in the love of Justina, and woke long
275 V| beasts. And did all for the love of God without taking of
276 V| angel. God commanded to love his neighbour as himself.
277 V| angel said. The fruit of love is to do well, for God shall
278 V| not fulfilled the words of love he shall be damned. Then
279 V| that is to wit, sovereign love, and that is as touching
280 V| fruition, which is in burning love as touching to Seraphim,
281 V| bounty appertaineth to the love of our health. Secondly,
282 V| inflame our affection to love, wherefore, in sign hereof,
283 V| that with the charity and love of God and their neighbour
284 V| plenitude of the law is love and charity. And these be
285 V| embraced in the burning love of supernal contemplation,
286 V| but only be fed in the love of the Lord perdurable,
287 V| all temporal things. They love, they burn, and rest in
288 V| and rest in that burning love, they burn in loving and
289 V| them anon to burn in the love of God. And where shall

293 V| of marvellous joy for the love of his Creator. He beheld
294 V| and summoned them to the love of their Maker. He defended
295 V| which demanded alms for the love of God, and anon when this
296 V| and prayed him, for the love of S. Francis, he would

311 VI| mortification of his flesh for the love of thy name. He was discreet
312 VI| whereof it is said: Thou shalt love thy Lord God, do that and
313 VI| burning within us in the love of Jesu when he spake with
314 VI| little son Adrian, which, for love of his sisters, went in
315 VI| thousand paternosters for the love and honour of us, we shall

322 VI| and possessions, yet they love nothing tofore God. And
323 VI| perfectly maintained the love of God, the love of his
324 VI| maintained the love of God, the love of his neighbour, and good
325 VI| was anon put away by the love of charity, like as a drop
326 VI| into great devotion and love of Almighty God. And when
