not_o one_o as_o conjoin_v in_o nature_n for_o than_o they_o twain_o shall_v be_v one_o body_n and_o soul_n the_o second_o union_n be_v a_o personal_a union_n or_o a_o union_n in_o person_n when_o thing_n in_o nature_n different_a be_v so_o conjoin_v together_o that_o they_o make_v one_o person_n as_o the_o body_n and_o the_o soul_n make_v one_o man_n and_o the_o godhead_n of_o the_o son_n

the_o operation_n of_o his_o divine_a spirit_n descend_v from_o he_o the_o head_n to_o we_o his_o member_n apply_v christ_n unto_o we_o and_o create_v faith_n in_o our_o heart_n whereby_o as_o by_o

unto_o we_o but_o in_o the_o flesh_n and_o by_o the_o flesh_n of_o christ._n this_o mystical_a union_n may_v be_v in_o some_o sort_n conceive_v more_o plain_o by_o the_o consideration_n of_o the_o union_n of_o the_o natural_a man_n and_o his_o member_n when_o we_o consider_v how_o his_o soul_n send_v forth_o from_o his_o head_n sense_n and_o motion_n to_o all_o his_o other_o member_n of_o his_o natural_a body_n and_o that_o although_o the_o soul_n can_v from_o the_o head_n send_v sense_n and_o motion_n to_o the_o other_o member_n of_o his_o natural_a body_n without_o the_o mean_n of_o arcture_n and_o ligament_n whereby_o the_o member_n of_o the_o natural_a man_n be_v tie_v together_o that_o by_o that_o mean_n sense_n and_o motion_n may_v be_v convey_v from_o his_o head_n to_o the_o other_o member_n and_o that_o yet_o the_o head_n and_o other_o member_n of_o the_o natural_a body_n be_v not_o so_o fit_o coney_v and_o say_v to_o be_v the_o natural_a man_n member_n because_o they_o be_v tie_v and_o as_o it_o be_v souldr_v together_o by_o arcture_n and_o ligament_n of_o the_o body_n as_o for_o that_o they_o receive_v life_n sense_n and_o motion_n from_o his_o soul_n then_o how_o much_o more_o may_v we_o conceive_v and_o say_v that_o christ_n our_o head_n and_o we_o ourselves_o be_v one_o mystical_a body_n even_o mystical_a christ_n and_o that_o we_o 12._o be_v member_n of_o

each_o from_o other_o as_o in_o the_o natural_a man_n the_o head_n and_o the_o foot_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o saint_n john_n say_v hereby_o we_o know_v that_o we_o dwell_v in_o he_o and_o he_o in_o

he_o will_v thou_o then_o know_v that_o christ_n be_v thou_o and_o thou_o christ_n as_o a_o true_a member_n of_o his_o mystical_a body_n then_o lay_v aside_o all_o carnal_a conceit_n have_v recourse_n

and_o do_v live_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n and_o again_o as_o certain_a thou_o do_v know_v that_o thy_o member_n do_v not_o live_v of_o my_o soul_n nor_o my_o member_n of_o thy_o soul_n and_o that_o whatsoever_o member_n live_v of_o thy_o own_o soul_n be_v the_o member_n of_o thy_o own_o body_n and_o whatsoever_o member_n live_v of_o my_o soul_n be_v the_o member_n of_o my_o own_o body_n even_o so_o do_v thou_o know_v that_o nothing_o do_v or_o can_v live_v of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n but_o christ_n and_o the_o member_n of_o his_o body_n and_o that_o whatsoever_o live_v not_o
