bolesover_n that_o place_n then_o say_v the_o empress_n i_o desire_v to_o see_v alas_o reply_v the_o duchess_n it_o be_v but_o a_o naked_a house_n and_o unclothe_v of_o all_o furniture_n however_o

use_v such_o a_o violent_a exercise_n before_o meat_n for_o fear_v of_o overheat_v himself_o without_o any_o consideration_n of_o the_o empress_n soul_n leave_v her_o aereal_a vehicle_n and_o enter_v

for_o that_o reply_v the_o empress_n but_o i_o can_v discourse_v with_o fortune_n without_o the_o help_n of_o a_o immaterial_a spirit_n and_o that_o can_v be_v do_v in_o this_o v._o world_n for_o i_o

wherefore_o the_o best_a way_n will_v be_v for_o the_o duke_n to_o choose_v a_o friend_n on_o his_o side_n and_o let_v fortune_n choose_v another_o and_o try_v whether_o by_o this_o mean_v it_o be_v

there_o be_v none_o to_o be_v have_v neither_o in_o nature_n nor_o in_o hell_n but_o only_o from_o heaven_n and_o how_o to_o get_v such_o a_o divine_a and_o celestial_a judge_n i_o can_v tell_v nevertheless_o if_o you_o will_v go_v along_o with_o i_o into_o the_o blazing-world_n i_o will_v try_v what_o may_v be_v do_v it_o be_v my_o duty_n say_v the_o duchess_n to_o wait_v on_o your_o

the_o duke_n of_o newcastle_n but_o they_o tell_v her_o majesty_n that_o fortune_n be_v so_o inconstant_a that_o although_o she_o will_v perhaps_o promise_v to_o hear_v their_o cause_n plead_v yet_o it_o be_v a_o thousand_o to_o one_o whether_o she_o will_v ever_o have_v the_o patience_n to_o do_v it_o nevertheless_o upon_o her_o majesty_n be_v request_n they_o try_v their_o utmost_a and_o at_o

that_o those_o dead_a body_n can_v be_v preserve_v from_o stink_a and_o dissolve_v yet_o the_o soul_n of_o such_o body_n will_v not_o suffer_v immaterial_a spirit_n to_o rule_v and_o order_v they_o

for_o though_o natural_a reason_n be_v most_o persuasive_a yet_o faith_n be_v the_o chief_a that_o be_v require_v in_o cabalist_n but_o say_v the_o empress_n be_v there_o not_o divine_a reason_n as_o well_o as_o there_o be_v natural_a no_o answer_v they_o for_o there_o be_v but_o a_o divine_a faith_n and_o as_o for_o reason_n it_o be_v only_o natural_a but_o you_o mortal_n be_v so_o puzzle_v about_o this_o divine_a faith_n and_o natural_a reason_n that_o you_o do_v not_o know_v well_o how_o to_o distinguish_v they_o but_o confound_v they_o both_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n you_o have_v so_o many_o divine_a philosopher_n who_o make_v a_o gallimafry_n both_o of_o reason_n and_o faith_n then_o she_o ask_v whether_o pure_a natural_a philosopher_n be_v cabalist_n they_o answer_v no_o but_o only_o your_o mystical_a or_o divine_a philosopher_n such_o as_o study_v beyond_o sense_n and_o reason_n she_o inquire_v further_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o cabbala_n in_o god_n or_o whether_o god_n be_v full_a of_o idea_n they_o answer_v there_o can_v be_v nothing_o in_o god_n nor_o can_v god_n be_v full_a of_o any_o thing_n either_o form_n or_o figure_n but_o of_o himself_o for_o god_n be_v the_o perfection_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o a_o unexpressible_a be_v beyond_o the_o conception_n of_o any_o creature_n either_o natural_a or_o supernatural_a then_o i_o pray_v inform_v i_o say_v the_o empress_n whether_o the_o jew_n cabbala_n or_o any_o other_o consist_v in_o number_n the_o spirit_n answer_v no_o for_o number_n be_v odd_a and_o different_a and_o will_v make_v a_o disagreement_n in_o the_o cabbala_n but_o say_v she_o again_o be_v it_o a_o sin_n then_o not_o to_o know_v or_o understand_v the_o cabbala_n god_n be_v so_o merciful_a answer_v they_o and_o so_o just_a that_o he_o will_v never_o damn_v the_o ignorant_a and_o save_v only_o those_o that_o pretend_v to_o know_v he_o and_o his_o secret_a counsel_n by_o their_o cabbala_n but_o he_o love_v those_o that_o adore_v and_o worship_v he_o with_o fear_n and_o reverence_n and_o with_o a_o pure_a heart_n she_o ask_v further_o which_o of_o these_o two_o cabbala_n be_v most_o approve_v the_o natural_a or_o theological_n the_o theological_a answer_v they_o be_v mystical_a and_o belong_v only_o to_o faith_n but_o the_o natural_a belong_v to_o reason_n then_o she_o ask_v they_o whether_o divine_a faith_n be_v make_v out_o of_o reason_n no_o answer_v they_o for_o faith_n proceed_v only_o from_o a_o divine_a save_a grace_n which_o be_v a_o peculiar_a gift_n of_o god_n how_o come_v it_o then_o reply_v she_o that_o man_n even_o those_o that_o be_v of_o several_a opinion_n have_v faith_n more_o or_o less_o a_o natural_a belief_n answer_v they_o be_v not_o a_o divine_a faith_n but_o proceed_v the_o empress_n how_o be_v you_o sure_a that_o god_n can_v be_v know_v the_o several_a opinion_n you_o mortal_n have_v of_o god_n answer_v they_o be_v sufficient_a witness_n thereof_o well_o then_o reply_v the_o empress_n leave_v this_o inquisitive_a knowledge_n of_o god_n i_o pray_v inform_v i_o whether_o you_o spirit_n give_v motion_n to_o natural_a body_n no_o answer_v they_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a natural_a material_a body_n give_v spirit_n motion_n for_o we_o spirit_n be_v incorporeal_a have_v no_o motion_n but_o from_o our_o corporeal_a vehicles_n so_o that_o we_o move_v by_o the_o help_n of_o our_o body_n and_o not_o the_o body_n by_o our_o help_n for_o pure_a spirit_n be_v immovable_a if_o this_o be_v so_o reply_v the_o empress_n how_o come_v it_o then_o that_o you_o can_v move_v so_o sudden_o at_o a_o vast_a distance_n they_o answer_v that_o some_o sort_n of_o matter_n be_v more_o pure_a rare_a and_o consequent_o more_o light_a and_o agile_a than_o other_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o their_o quick_a and_o sudden_a motion_n then_o the_o empress_n ask_v they_o whether_o they_o can_v speak_v without_o a_o body_n or_o bodily_a organ_n no_o say_v they_o nor_o can_v we_o have_v any_o bodily_a sense_n but_o only_a knowledge_n she_o ask_v whether_o they_o can_v have_v knowledge_n without_o body_n not_o a_o natural_a answer_v they_o but_o a_o supernatural_a knowledge_n which_o be_v a_o far_o better_a knowledge_n than_o a_o natural_a then_o she_o ask_v they_o whether_o they_o have_v a_o general_n or_o universal_a knowledge_n they_o answer_v single_a or_o particular_a create_a spirit_n have_v not_o for_o not_o any_o creature_n but_o god_n himself_o can_v have_v a_o absolute_a and_o perfect_a knowledge_n of_o all_o thing_n the_o empress_n ask_v they_o further_o whether_o spirit_n have_v inward_a and_o outward_a part_n no_o answer_v they_o for_o part_n only_o belong_v to_o body_n not_o to_o spirit_n again_o she_o ask_v they_o whether_o their_o vehicles_n be_v live_v body_n they_o be_v self-moving_a body_n answer_v they_o and_o therefore_o they_o must_v needs_o be_v live_v for_o nothing_o can_v move_v itself_o without_o it_o have_v life_n then_o say_v she_o it_o must_v necessary_o follow_v that_o this_o live_n self-moving_a body_n give_v motion_n to_o the_o spirit_n and_o not_o the_o spirit_n motion_n to_o the_o body_n as_o its_o vehicle_n you_o say_v very_o true_a answer_v they_o and_o we_o tell_v you_o this_o before_o then_o the_o empress_n ask_v they_o of_o what_o form_n of_o matter_n those_o vehicles_n be_v they_o say_v they_o be_v of_o several_a different_a form_n some_o gross_a and_o dense_a and_o other_o more_o pure_a rare_a and_o subtle_a if_o you_o be_v not_o material_a say_v the_o empress_n how_o can_v you_o be_v generator_n of_o all_o creature_n we_o be_v no_o more_o answer_v they_o the_o generator_n of_o material_a creature_n than_o they_o be_v the_o generator_n of_o we_o spirit_n then_o she_o ask_v whether_o they_o do_v leave_v their_o vehicles_n no_o answer_v they_o for_o we_o be_v incorporeal_a can_v leave_v or_o quit_v they_o but_o our_o vehicles_n do_v change_n into_o several_a form_n and_o figure_n according_a as_o occasion_n require_v then_o the_o empress_n desire_v the_o spirit_n to_o tell_v she_o whether_o man_n be_v a_o little_a world_n they_o answer_v that_o if_o a_o fly_n or_o worm_n be_v a_o little_a world_n than_o man_n be_v so_o too_o she_o ask_v again_o whether_o our_o forefather_n have_v be_v as_o wise_a as_o man_n be_v at_o present_a and_o have_v understand_v sense_n and_o reason_n as_o well_o as_o they_o do_v now_o they_o answer_v that_o in_o former_a age_n they_o have_v be_v as_o wise_a as_o they_o be_v in_o this_o present_a nay_o wise_a for_o say_v they_o many_o in_o this_o age_n do_v think_v their_o forefather_n have_v be_v fool_n by_o which_o they_o prove_v themselves_o to_o be_v such_o the_o empress_n ask_v further_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o plastic_a power_n in_o nature_n true_o say_v the_o spirit_n plastic_a power_n be_v a_o hard_a word_n &_o signify_v no_o more_o than_o the_o power_n of_o the_o corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n of_o nature_n after_o this_o the_o empress_n desire_v the_o spirit_n to_o inform_v she_o where_o the_o paradise_n be_v whether_o it_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o world_n as_o a_o centre_n of_o pleasure_n or_o whether_o it_o be_v the_o whole_a world_n or_o a_o peculiar_a world_n by_o itself_o as_o a_o world_n of_o life_n and_o not_o of_o
