than_o these_o secret_n remain_v with_o the_o elder_n of_o the_o tribe_n as_o they_o do_v former_o with_o the_o father_n of_o the_o family_n these_o elder_n no_o doubt_n be_v the_o mosaical_a

with_o all_o the_o abstruse_a operation_n and_o principle_n of_o nature_n be_v a_o truth_n i_o suppose_v which_o no_o man_n will_v resist_v that_o the_o sanhedrim_n also_o participate_v of_o the_o

the_o seventy_o but_o lest_o any_o man_n shall_v deny_v that_o which_o we_o take_v for_o grant_v namely_o the_o philosophy_n of_o moses_n i_o shall_v demonstrate_v out_o of_o his_o own_o book_n both_o by_o reason_n as_o also_o by_o his_o practice_n that_o he_o be_v a_o natural_a magician_n first_o of_o all_o than_o it_o be_v most_o absurd_a and_o therefore_o improbable_a that_o he_o shall_v write_v of_o the_o creation_n who_o be_v no_o way_n skilled_a in_o the_o secret_n of_o god_n and_o nature_n both_o which_o must_v of_o necessity_n be_v know_v before_o we_o shall_v undertake_v to_o write_v of_o the_o creation_n but_o moses_n do_v write_v of_o it_o ergo_o now_o i_o desire_v to_o know_v what_o he_o have_v write_v truth_n or_o a_o lie_n if_o truth_n how_o dare_v you_o deny_v his_o knowledge_n if_o a_o lie_n which_o god_n forbid_v why_o will_v you_o believe_v he_o you_o will_v tell_v i_o perhaps_o he_o have_v do_v it_o only_o in_o general_a term_n and_o i_o can_v tell_v you_o that_o aristotle_n have_v do_v no_o otherwise_o but_o think_v you_o in_o good_a earnest_n that_o he_o know_v no_o more_o than_o what_o he_o do_v write_v there_o be_v nothing_o you_o can_v say_v in_o

for_o instance_n he_o have_v discover_v the_o minera_n of_o man_n or_o that_o substance_n out_o of_o which_o man_n and_o all_o his_o fellow-creature_n be_v make_v this_o be_v the_o first_o matter_n of_o the_o philosopher_n stone_n moses_n call_v it_o sometime_o water_n sometime_o earth_n for_o in_o a_o certain_a place_n i_o read_v thus_o and_o god_n say_v let_v the_o water_n bring_v 20._o

this_o do_v no_o way_n impair_v our_o assertion_n or_o prove_v this_o generation_n miraculous_a and_o supernatural_a for_o no_o man_n i_o believe_v be_v so_o mad_a as_o to_o think_v those_o

to_o another_o joseph_n be_v seventeen_o year_n old_a a_o age_n of_o some_o discretion_n propound_v a_o vision_n to_o his_o father_n not_o loose_o and_o to_o no_o purpose_n as_o we_o tell_v one_o

of_o the_o secret_n of_o the_o two_o luminary_n attribute_n male_n to_o the_o sun_n and_o female_n to_o the_o moon_n than_o allow_v a_o three_o signification_n to_o the_o minor_a star_n and_o last_o

to_o thou_o to_o the_o earth_n now_o i_o think_v no_o man_n will_v deny_v but_o the_o interpretation_n of_o dream_n belong_v to_o magic_n and_o have_v be_v ever_o seek_v after_o as_o a_o piece_n of_o

for_o jacob_n first_o practice_n which_o we_o have_v former_o mention_v namely_o the_o propagation_n of_o his_o speckle_a flock_n it_o be_v a_o effect_n so_o pure_o magical_a that_o our_o most_o
