his_o mother_n womb_n out_o of_o heat_n and_o cold_a out_o of_o himself_o 32._o as_o the_o love_n proceed_v from_o the_o heart_n of_o the_o father_n which_o be_v his_o son_n do_v withstand_v the_o

the_o cold_a be_v dismay_v or_o flagratize_v at_o the_o heat_n and_o fall_v into_o a_o swoon_n viz._n into_o death_n property_n and_o so_o the_o heat_n become_v in_o this_o death_n property_n a_o

if_o the_o life_n shall_v subsist_v in_o its_o own_o right_a than_o the_o heat_n and_o cold_a must_v stand_v in_o essence_n equality_n that_o so_o they_o may_v accord_v one_o with_o another_o and_o

for_o the_o enkindle_v cold_a desire_v no_o heat_n but_o only_a likeness_n every_o hunger_n desire_v only_a likeness_n for_o its_o food_n but_o if_o the_o hunger_n be_v too_o strong_o enkindle_v in_o the_o cold_a such_o a_o cure_n be_v not_o to_o be_v give_v it_o which_o be_v so_o enkindle_v indeed_o it_o must_v be_v in_o as_o high_a a_o degree_n in_o the_o cold_a but_o the_o violent_a force_n

to_o the_o mother_n joy_n and_o so_o the_o sickness_n viz._n the_o poison_n in_o the_o anguish_n will_v be_v likewise_o change_v into_o such_o a_o joy_n and_o so_o the_o life_n do_v receive_v again_o its_o first_o property_n 35._o the_o raw_a opposite_a body_n do_v not_o belong_v unto_o the_o cure_n but_o its_o oil_n which_o must_v be_v mollify_v with_o its_o own_o love_n understand_v with_o a_o meek_a essence_n which_o also_o belong_v unto_o the_o same_o property_n for_o the_o seven_o form_n of_o nature_n be_v only_o one_o in_o the_o centre_n therefore_o that_o oil_n must_v be_v bring_v so_o

in_o it_o and_o that_o very_o good_a do_v resist_v its_o evilness_n or_o poysonful_a malignity_n 36._o thus_o also_o in_o the_o same_o sickness_n it_o may_v withstand_v the_o enkindle_a wrath_n in_o the_o body_n for_o if_o the_o cold_a poison_n be_v enkindle_v in_o the_o body_n than_o its_o good_a fall_v into_o impotency_n faintness_n and_o if_o it_o can_v obtain_v the_o likeness_n of_o its_o

natural_a death_n be_v in_o both_o and_o the_o move_a life_n in_o the_o body_n cease_v but_o if_o it_o do_v attain_v the_o assimilate_v likeness_n than_o it_o gather_v strength_n again_o and_o the_o enkindle_a hunger_n of_o the_o disease_n must_v cease_v 37._o in_o like_a manner_n also_o we_o be_v to_o consider_v of_o the_o heat_n which_o need_v no_o cold_a property_n but_o the_o likeness_n yet_o it_o must_v be_v first_o free_v from_o the_o wrath_n of_o the_o same_o likeness_n and_o bring_v into_o its_o own_o high_a joy_n and_o good_a so_o that_o this_o likeness_n do_v not_o perforce_n
