much_o more_o do_v i_o rejoice_v in_o the_o outgreen_v plant_n of_o its_o amiableness_n and_o loveliness_n power_n and_o and_o virtue_n since_o i_o find_v myself_o also_o to_o be_v a_o little_a twig_n on_o the_o same_o tree_n and_o that_o it_o be_v so_o sweet_a and_o pleasant_a and_o i_o see_v this_o with_o great_a admiration_n that_o it_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o night_n

there_o be_v one_o shape_n power_n and_o virtue_n be_v not_o this_o a_o great_a wonder_n 3._o we_o become_v in_o our_o first_o mother_n that_o bear_v we_o all_o blind_a and_o be_v now_o in_o our_o

that_o we_o know_v our_o mother_n in_o and_o by_o the_o same_o and_o can_v speak_v with_o she_o out_o of_o her_o own_o tongue_n ought_v not_o we_o just_o high_o to_o admire_v that_o we_o be_v in_o

old_a age_n no_o we_o be_v a_o new_a branch_n bear_v of_o our_o first_o mother_n we_o be_v a_o dry_a branch_n on_o the_o tree_n but_o the_o mother_n have_v bring_v into_o we_o her_o sap_n and_o

a_o young_a son_n out_o of_o the_o old_a he_o shall_v not_o be_v blind_a neither_o go_v out_o from_o she_o but_o abide_v in_o her_o house_n for_o he_o be_v her_o only_a heir_n in_o who_o she_o have_v

and_o shall_v also_o be_v our_o everlasting_a habitation_n 6._o since_o then_o love_v sir_n and_o brother_n as_o i_o perceive_v you_o stand_v also_o with_o we_o in_o the_o green_v essence_n and_o have_v receive_v a_o see_a eye_n therefore_o i_o desire_v to_o refresh_v myself_o hearty_o in_o my_o member_n in_o the_o essence_n of_o my_o mother_n with_o you_o in_o our_o new_a life_n and_o i_o

speak_v with_o you_o be_v not_o do_v to_o ascend_v above_o your_o gift_n nor_o to_o exalt_v myself_o above_o you_o because_o a_o sharp_a understanding_n be_v give_v i_o of_o the_o divine_a mystery_n but_o rather_o take_v it_o thus_o viz._n that_o i_o be_o not_o become_v your_o breaker_n but_o rather_o a_o beam_n in_o our_o building_n in_o the_o house_n of_o the_o mother_n of_o we_o all_o not_o through_o humane_a reason_n or_o art_n but_o he_o that_o have_v power_n have_v so_o ordain_v it_o even_o he_o that_o do_v what_o he_o will_n 8._o now_o a_o house_n must_v not_o only_o have_v spar_v and_o beam_n but_o also_o stone_n for_o the_o foundation_n and_o it_o must_v have_v divers_a joint_n now_o if_o the_o lord_n place_v one_o for_o the_o foundation_n or_o cornerstone_n and_o use_v another_o about_o the_o building_n than_o we_o ought_v to_o learn_v to_o acknowledge_v the_o one_o the_o other_o every_o one_o according_a to_o his_o gift_n and_o not_o to_o despise_v or_o reject_v one_o another_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o unequal_a gift_n as_o be_v practise_v hitherto_o for_o a_o long_a time_n in_o babel_n but_o rather_o consider_v the_o good_a and_o benefit_n of_o the_o house_n and_o that_o the_o one_o juncture_n must_v not_o be_v as_o the_o other_o although_o it_o be_v all_o one_o within_o another_o and_o be_v together_o but_o one_o house_n 9_o to_o i_o it_o be_v give_v to_o understand_v and_o to_o speak_v of_o the_o ground_n to_o another_o of_o the_o whole_a building_n of_o god_n as_o in_o a_o sum_n yet_o the_o ground_n and_o the_o whole_a house_n be_v but_o one_o it_o come_v from_o one_o spirit_n and_o all_o serve_v for_o the_o wonderful_a manifestation_n of_o god_n 10._o therefore_o if_o i_o shall_v speak_v with_o you_o out_o of_o my_o gift_n and_o show_v you_o the_o house_n within_o i_o desire_v you_o to_o understand_v and_o take_v it_o love_o i_o do_v it_o not_o out_o of_o levity_n and_o presumption_n but_o in_o true_a knowledge_n give_v to_o i_o of_o god_n for_o benefit_n and_o better_n that_o our_o pearl_n may_v be_v find_v and_o the_o enemy_n that_o have_v so_o long_o detain_v we_o captive_a be_v choke_v in_o his_o own_o poison_n that_o
