it_o therefore_o i_o beseech_v you_o oblige_v i_o with_o some_o explication_n of_o this_o difficulty_n in_o such_o a_o intelligible_a way_n as_o may_v feed_v and_o encourage_v my_o desire_n to_o see_v

the_o full_a then_o think_v almighty_a god_n be_v the_o first_o root_n and_o necessity_n of_o be_v he_o be_v be_v itself_o in_o itself_o and_o of_o itself_o because_o it_o be_v its_o self_n i_o must_v leave_v the_o rest_n to_o your_o quiet_a contemplation_n but_o know_v that_o in_o these_o few_o word_n if_o you_o ponder_v they_o to_o their_o just_a merit_n you_o shall_v find_v life_n and_o bliss_n yet_o let_v i_o say_v one_o thing_n more_o can_v you_o conceive_v how_o in_o a_o bean_n or_o acorn_n or_o a_o mustardseed_n lie_v the_o herb_n or_o tree_n which_o we_o see_v spring_n out_o of_o they_o
