And in this sence S. Augustine, S. Bernard, and other Fathers are to be vnderstood, that say in the Precept, Di∣liges [ E] Deum tuum ex toto corde tuo, is contained the perfection of the life to come, and a perfection impossible to be attained to in this life, to wit, it is contained in the Pre∣cept,
not as perfection commaunded to be practised in this [ A] life, but as a perfection to be desired and hoped for in the next: so that he that loues God sinceerely from the bottome of his heart, to the keeping of all his Commandements per∣fectly, without breach of friendship betweene him and God, hauing his desires and loues referred with hope vnto Eter∣nitie; without question, hee loueth God with all his heart, soule, and strength.
