turn_v themselves_o with_o all_o their_o power_n there_o they_o find_v sorrow_n and_o death_n for_o infinite_a wisdom_n be_v the_o never_o fail_a food_n of_o life_n of_o which_o our_o spirit_n live_v eternal_o which_o can_v love_v nothing_o but_o wisdom_n and_o truth_n for_o every_o understanding_n desire_v be_v it_o be_v be_v be_v live_v its_o live_n be_v understanding_n its_o understanding_n

with_o a_o unspeakable_a affection_n to_o the_o comprehension_n of_o it_o as_o unto_o the_o immortality_n of_o thy_o life_n and_o if_o thou_o look_v upon_o the_o example_n of_o iron_n and_o the_o

the_o loadstone_n it_o will_v no_o more_o be_v move_v to_o the_o loadstone_n than_o to_o any_o other_o stone_n and_o except_o there_o be_v in_o the_o stone_n a_o great_a inclination_n to_o iron_n than_o to_o copper_n there_o will_v not_o be_v that_o attraction_n and_o draw_v our_o intellectual_a spirit_n have_v according_o from_o the_o eternal_a wisdom_n a_o principle_n or_o beginning_n of_o

be_v in_o the_o stir_n up_o a_o desirefull_a motion_n for_o he_o that_o by_o a_o intellectual_a motion_n seek_v wisdom_n he_o be_v inward_o touch_v to_o the_o fore-tasted_n sweetness_n forget_v

this_o foretaste_n make_v that_o which_o appear_v delightful_a abominable_a to_o holy_a man_n who_o the_o soon_o to_o attain_v unto_o it_o do_v most_o even_o and_o patient_o bear_v all_o corporal_a

can_v never_o fail_v for_o this_o assimilation_n and_o likeness_n which_o be_v natural_o in_o our_o spirit_n by_o which_o it_o be_v not_o quiet_v but_o in_o that_o wisdom_n itself_o be_v as_o it_o
