we_o all_o we_o have_v by_o which_o we_o know_v he_o love_v we_o and_o for_o both_o these_o cause_n be_v to_o be_v love_v by_o we_o and_o m._n very_o well_o and_o you_o may_v add_v that_o we_o be_v

to_o hope_v he_o shall_v see_v god_n s._n yes_o sir_n since_o it_o be_v necessary_a that_o who_o love_v god_n shall_v see_v god_n no_o doubt_n but_o he_o have_v reason_n
a_o love_n as_o adam_n have_v must_v needs_o have_v it_o be_v effect_n in_o the_o body_n also_o as_o indeed_o it_o have_v and_o as_o we_o see_v the_o practice_n of_o memory_n make_v man_n easy_a to_o

this_o mean_n make_v the_o very_a corporeal_a desire_n subject_a to_o reason_n that_o this_o body_n or_o be_v prevent_v with_o reason_n can_v not_o incline_v to_o any_o thing_n reason_n before_o reason_n give_v it_o leave_v and_o order_n but_o tell_v i_o far_o have_v you_o not_o hear_v that_o child_n be_v like_o their_o father_n s._n yes_o sir_n i_o know_v well_o it_o be_v the_o descend_v

●s_n if_o they_o discourse_v alike_o love_v like_o thing_n je●t_v write_v a_o poem_n or_o oration_n alike_o will_v you_o not_o judge_v their_o soul_n alike_o so_o than_o it_o be_v not_o ill_o

the_o soul_n which_o be_v make_v by_o god_n come_v to_o be_v like_o the_o soul_n of_o the_o father_n which_o have_v nothing_o to_o do_v with_o it_o m._n if_o there_o be_v several_a kind_n fit_v of_o

this_o active_a principle_n or_o power_n of_o burn_v call_v the_o form_n of_o fire_n shall_v be_v equal_o in_o each_o of_o they_o s._n no_o sir_n i_o see_v plain_o by_o experience_n it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v expect_v each_o will_v have_v power_n to_o burn_v on_o a_o different_a fashion_n and_o in_o a_o different_a degree_n but_o i_o be_o not_o so_o wise_a as_o to_o see_v whence_o this_o

from_o the_o several_a disposition_n in_o the_o matter_n or_o several_a fuell_n you_o speak_v of_o m._n you_o see_v then_o it_o be_v the_o way_n the_o all-wise_a orderer_n of_o nature_n take_v that_o a_o diversity_n in_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o matter_n determines_v to_o a_o diversity_n in_o the_o active_a principle_n or_o form_n according_a to_o certain_a degree_n within_o the_o same_o species_n or_o kind_n the_o rational_a soul_n then_o be_v the_o form_n of_o man_n body_n or_o that_o which_o make_v he_o man_n you_o see_v it_o be_v god_n method_n to_o put_v like_o soul_n into_o like_o body_n therefore_o the_o father_n make_v the_o body_n body_n of_o the_o son_n like_o his_o own_o will_v not_o his_o soul_n also_o be_v make_v by_o god_n like_o to_o the_o father_n soul_n and_o so_o the_o soul_n of_o like_a body_n be_v like_o of_o unlike_a body_n unlike_a s._n yes_o sure_a sir_n that_o must_v be_v so_o see_v the_o soul_n do_v fit_a the_o body_n m._n then_o if_o the_o soul_n of_o adam_n have_v that_o operation_n on_o its_o body_n as_o to_o make_v a_o special_a disposition_n in_o it_o by_o which_o it_o be_v subject_a to_o reason_n also_o and_o this_o disposition_n

will_v give_v his_o son_n a_o soul_n fit_a to_o love_n god_n above_o all_o thing_n the_o disposition_n of_o the_o soul_n proceed_v from_o such_o a_o disposition_n of_o the_o body_n s._n yes_o sir_n it_o be_v evident_a he_o be_v will_v or_o else_o he_o shall_v not_o put_v a_o fit_a soul_n into_o the_o son_n body_n m._n this_o prove_v you_o must_v know_v that_o our_o forefather_n call_v have_v
