after_o which_o the_o holy_a scripture_n say_v man_n be_v create_v do_v proper_o consist_v and_o whilst_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o understand_v by_o read_v i_o have_v not_o profit_v at_o all_o

as_o he_o be_v benign_a merciful_a just_a faithful_a and_o true_a with_o these_o quality_n and_o with_o these_o perfection_n i_o understand_v that_o god_n create_v man_n in_o earthly_a paradise_n

of_o god_n be_v in_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n as_o much_o as_o belong_v to_o the_o soul_n before_o his_o death_n so_o that_o he_o be_v benign_a merciful_a just_a faithful_a and_o true_a and_o after_o his_o resurrection_n as_o much_o as_o belong_v both_o to_o soul_n and_o body_n in_o as_o much_o as_o over_o and_o above_o benignity_n mercifulnesse_n justice_n truth_n &_o faithfulness_n he_o also_o do_v possess_v immortality_n and_o impassibility_n and_o far_o than_o this_o i_o understand_v that_o they_o who_o be_v call_v and_o draw_v by_o god_n unto_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o gospel_n make_v the_o justice_n of_o christ_n to_o become_v their_o own_o &_o be_v incorporate_v in_o christ_n do_v in_o this_o present_a life_n recover_v in_o part_n that_o part_n of_o the_o image_n of_o
