12._o so_o you_o know_v very_o well_o that_o the_o outward_a kingdom_n with_o the_o earthly_a flesh_n belong_v to_o the_o turba_n though_o indeed_o he_o have_v in_o the_o outward_a body_n the_o body_n

14._o see_v then_o enoch_n be_v take_v up_o with_o body_n and_o soul_n with_o both_o body_n therefore_o his_o outward_a body_n be_v in_o the_o mystery_n and_o the_o inward_a body_n be_v a_o heavenly_a

that_o paradise_n be_v still_o at_o hand_n and_o not_o vanish_v but_o be_v as_o it_o be_v swallow_v up_o by_o the_o curse_n of_o god_n and_o lie_v yet_o as_o a_o mystery_n uncorrupted_a in_o the_o

man_n of_o the_o high_a age_n that_o afterward_o he_o continue_v in_o a_o divine_a life_n and_o that_o be_v significant_a 17._o methuselah_n show_v the_o end_n of_o the_o wonder_n of_o this_o world_n and_o enoch_n in_o his_o divine_a life_n after_o the_o birth_n of_o methuselah_n show_v as_o to_o his_o three_o hundred_o year_n the_o open_n of_o the_o wonder_n and_o the_o open_a ministry_n viz._n
