this_o be_v not_o perfect_v at_o once_o therefore_o as_o at_o thy_o first_o entrance_n into_o the_o heavenly_a academy_n thou_o must_v begin_v a_o denial_n and_o annihilation_n of_o thy_o own_o wit_n

be_v put_v off_o until_o man_n be_v dissolve_v but_o thou_o must_v strive_v to_o get_v ground_n of_o it_o while_o thou_o live_v and_o the_o great_a thy_o natural_a wit_n be_v the_o more_o must_v thou_o strive_v for_o the_o great_a it_o be_v the_o more_o apt_a will_v it_o be_v to_o see_v reason_n by_o itself_o and_o without_o god_n teach_v which_o will_v fall_v out_o too_o often_o to_o be_v
