when_o it_o be_v so_o far_o beyond_o our_o reach_n to_o conceive_v how_o god_n be_v near_o to_o all_o his_o work_n and_o how_o he_o operate_v on_o every_o man_n christ_n have_v tell_v we_o that_o we_o

as_o near_o unite_v to_o all_o than_o to_o prove_v that_o he_o be_v not_o so_o unite_v to_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ._n which_o cause_v peter_n sterry_n and_o such_o other_o to_o hold_v that_o christ_n have_v three_o nature_n that_o be_v that_o the_o divine_a nature_n first_o produce_v the_o prime_n superangelical_a emanant_fw-la nature_n by_o which_o he_o seem_v to_o mean_v a_o

a_o body_n and_o soul_n §_o 4._o the_o grand_a difficulty_n about_o god_n unity_n with_o the_o world_n and_o the_o world_n with_o god_n be_v how_o to_o

to_o this_o day_n §_o 8._o god_n do_v not_o impute_v adam_n this_o sin_n to_o we_o because_o he_o will_v do_v it_o without_o any_o real_a participation_n of_o we_o no_o nor_o beyond_o our_o true_a

receive_v our_o nature_n from_o they_o we_o receive_v the_o guilt_n and_o pravity_n of_o our_o nature_n §_o 10._o therefore_o thus_o far_o at_o least_o our_o next_o parent_n communicate_v gild_n and_o pravity_n to_o we_o and_o not_o adam_n only_o in_o which_o we_o see_v that_o god_n imputation_n go_v along_o with_o real_a natural_a participation_n §_o 11._o it_o seem_v to_o i_o a_o strange_a

we_o be_v as_o much_o natural_o in_o our_o next_o parent_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o innocency_n and_o the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n do_v not_o so_o far_o differ_v as_o to_o exempt_v we_o from_o
