do_v irradiate_a as_o the_o external_n light_n do_v a_o book_n wherein_o we_o read_v so_o angel_n also_o may_v read_v therein_o the_o same_o verba_fw-la mentis_fw-la or_o signature_n though_o they_o

read_v in_o our_o book_n so_o they_o may_v also_o write_v therein_o as_o first_o they_o may_v actuate_v any_o sensible_a species_n in_o any_o of_o the_o standard_n and_o thereby_o irradiate_a the_o animal_n spirit_n and_o so_o present_v they_o to_o the_o imagination_n which_o yet_o may_v animadvert_v or_o not_o as_o it_o please_v because_o it_o be_v spontaneous_a also_o they_o may_v actuate_v the_o species_n immediate_o in_o the_o animal_n spirit_n and_o present_v they_o to_o the_o imagination_n so_o strong_o and_o vehement_o that_o they_o may_v seem_v thereby_o to_o appear_v unto_o we_o in_o any_o visible_a shape_n or_o to_o utter_v any_o audible_a voice_n or_o the_o like_a and_o they_o may_v stir_v up_o bodily_a humour_n within_o we_o and_o the_o motive_n spirit_n and_o flux_n or_o

such_o sensible_a qualitys_n or_o species_n or_o phantasm_n in_o themselves_o and_o therefore_o must_v borrow_v some_o body_n that_n have_v they_o now_o though_o they_o can_v force_v we_o to_o

though_o i_o suppose_v that_o they_o have_v so_o now_o generaly_a yet_o i_o also_o conceiv_o that_o they_o can_v not_o invade_v man_n in_o his_o first_o creation_n as_o adam_n be_v restrain_v from_o

every_o side_n and_o he_o can_v not_o infest_v he_o until_o nor_o any_o far_o than_o he_o afterward_o obtain_v licens_fw-la from_o god_n and_o i_o conceiv_v that_o ordinary_o god_n do_v suffer_v he_o to_o tempt_v great_a sinner_n who_o give_v themselves_o up_o unto_o he_o and_o his_o government_n and_o so_o god_n suffer_v a_o lie_a spirit_n to_o seduce_v ahab_n and_o his_o false_a prophet_n and_o the_o devil_n enter_v into_o judas_n and_o the_o like_a and_o thus_o witch_n by_o their_o invocation_n and_o other_o by_o their_o execratiou_n and_o the_o like_a may_v themselves_o open_v the_o door_n unto_o he_o and_o he_o do_v more_o or_o less_o make_v his_o approach_n unto_o we_o in_o a_o spiritual_a or_o corporeal_a manner_n as_o we_o give_v he_o access_n by_o our_o own_o invitation_n admission_n and_o entertainment_n of_o he_o and_o when_o he_o appear_v to_o man_n yet_o common_o he_o do_v not_o speak_v until_o he_o be_v first_o speak_v to_o by_o they_o thus_o the_o angel_n excel_v in_o knowledge_n and_o strength_n and_o the_o height_n of_o all_o the_o excellency_n of_o the_o best_a of_o angel_n be_v their_o knowledge_n and_o love_n of_o god_n the_o infinite_a creator_n who_o menial_a servant_n they_o be_v in_o heaven_n and_o be_v say_v always_o to_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o god_n not_o as_o some_o conceiv_n that_o they_o can_v possible_o have_v any_o adequate_a idea_n
