all_o spiritual_a or_o rational_a truth_n that_o be_v sober_a that_o the_o least_o motion_n of_o evil_n can_v possible_o have_v its_o original_n from_o the_o divine_a spirit_n of_o eve_n or_o adam_n 18_o therefore_o
christ_n by_o virtue_n of_o that_o light_n they_o be_v account_v to_o live_v and_o to_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n and_o to_o rise_v again_o in_o the_o lord_n both_o soul_n and_o body_n because_o of_o their_o godlike_a condition_n even_o to_o all_o eternity_n 7_o thus_o you_o that_o be_v fill_v with_o the_o light_n of_o the_o true_a jesus_n may_v clear_o see_v though_o a_o natural_a man_n by_o virtue_n of_o creation_n may_v be_v say_v to_o live_v in_o or_o by_o the_o power_n of_o the_o lord_n yet_o upon_o a_o spiritual_a account_n in_o reference_n to_o redemption_n he_o may_v be_v a_o

be_v none_o of_o the_o apostle_n intent_n in_o those_o word_n but_o as_o beforesaid_a his_o meaning_n be_v that_o those_o man_n which_o be_v possess_v with_o the_o true_a light_n of_o life_n eternal_a by_o a_o continual_a intercourse_n with_o the_o god_n of_o glory_n from_o whence_o that_o light_n proceed_v they_o be_v virtual_o unite_v unto_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n 9_o though_o the_o choose_a of_o god_n be_v virtual_o unite_v to_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n of_o a_o glorify_a christ_n yet_o how_o can_v it_o be_v say_v they_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n or_o what_o be_v mean_v by_o their_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n true_o most_o of_o the_o elect_a of_o god_n themselves_o be_v dark_a in_o this_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o seal_a book_n unto_o they_o the_o lord_n alone_o must_v open_v it_o 10_o my_o

by_o virtue_n of_o the_o light_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o new_a bear_v of_o god_n they_o become_v dead_a to_o all_o their_o former_a inward_a filthiness_n of_o flesh_n and_o spirit_n as_o namely_o they_o be_v dead_a to_o covetousness_n envy_n pride_n lust_n yea_o and_o all_o excess_n of_o vainglorious_a delight_n among_o man_n that_o perish_v so_o likewise_o they_o be_v dead_a to_o all_o their_o formal_a righteousness_n or_o hypocritical_a holiness_n to_o be_v see_v of_o man_n 12_o moreover_o they_o be_v dead_a to_o all_o carnal_a christ_n in_o man_n whatsoever_o whether_o they_o be_v

self-denying_a spirit_n in_o all_o experimental_a true_a bear_v christian_n from_o the_o high_a heaven_n that_o they_o abhor_v to_o put_v confidence_n in_o any_o god_n christ_n light_n or_o life_n to_o give_v glory_n unto_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v in_o sinful_a man_n or_o angel_n in_o the_o least_o 14_o because_o they_o certain_o know_v that_o there_o be_v not_o one_o motion_n or_o thought_n of_o any_o spiritual_a light_n or_o truth_n in_o man_n or_o angel_n but_o what_o he_o receive_v from_o a_o infinite_a glorious_a majesty_n who_o personal_a presence_n be_v in_o a_o world_n where_o

shall_v appear_v then_o shall_v you_o also_o appear_v with_o he_o in_o glory_n now_o you_o may_v know_v that_o the_o apostle_n mean_v a_o personal_a glory_n that_o be_v eternal_a with_o christ_n in_o

of_o man_n as_o a_o delusion_n unto_o they_o and_o the_o like_a 6_o moreover_o you_o know_v though_o the_o apostle_n paul_n be_v ravish_v with_o more_o glorious_a income_n of_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n than_o the_o rest_n of_o his_o brethren_n yet_o he_o have_v many_o sorrowful_a affliction_n mix_v with_o those_o heavenly_a rapture_n 7_o therefore_o you_o may_v know_v if_o you_o be_v a_o

that_o
they_o may_v have_v no_o confidence_n in_o the_o strength_n of_o that_o light_n which_o be_v within_o they_o but_o that_o they_o may_v cast_v down_o the_o crown_n of_o their_o spiritual_a confidence_n

man_n or_o angel_n 26_o moreover_o you_o spiritual_a one_o may_v know_v that_o though_o the_o spirit_n of_o angel_n be_v create_v perfect_o pure_a in_o their_o kind_n and_o measure_n yet_o if_o they_o

that_o be_v spiritual_a may_v undoubted_o know_v that_o it_o be_v utter_o unpossible_a for_o man_n or_o angel_n to_o be_v void_a of_o all_o law_n in_o their_o creation_n 32_o because_o the_o creator_n himself_o become_v subject_a to_o his_o own_o law_n when_o his_o divine_a godhead_n be_v transumt_v into_o pure_a manhood_n 33_o it_o be_v truth_n that_o the_o uncreated_a eternal_a god_n be_v above_o

perfect_a obedience_n to_o his_o own_o law_n in_o the_o visible_a sight_n of_o elect_a man_n and_o angel_n 35_o and_o that_o from_o thence_o by_o virtue_n of_o his_o suffering_n at_o the_o hand_n of_o

thus_o you_o that_o have_v never_o so_o little_a truth_n of_o the_o true_a jesus_n in_o you_o may_v clear_o see_v that_o the_o apostle_n peter_n in_o this_o threefold_a language_n have_v not_o the_o

if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o invisible_a burn_a up_o the_o fleshly_a heaven_n in_o man_n only_o what_o lustful_a man_n in_o the_o world_n will_v have_v scoff_v at_o such_o a_o doctrine_n which_o do_v

the_o ground_n think_v you_o of_o so_o many_o dreadful_a fire_n this_o year_n in_o this_o city_n and_o other_o part_n above_o the_o memory_n of_o man_n i_o know_v with_o astrologian_n sophister_n you_o may_v impute_v it_o to_o planet_n plot_n or_o people_n want_n of_o care_n but_o of_o the_o contrary_n i_o believe_v you_o serpent_n sign-monger_n will_v find_v these_o fire_n come_v not_o mere_o by_o natural_a cause_n but_o by_o a_o divine_a power_n as_o a_o forerunner_n of_o the_o eternal_a burn_v this_o world_n and_o all_o the_o natural_a glory_n therein_o to_o dust_n powder_n or_o dry_a

who_o be_v possess_v with_o a_o pure_a light_n language_n and_o life_n i_o be_o undoubtable_o persuade_v in_o my_o soul_n that_o for_o a_o little_a season_n i_o have_v both_o taste_v and_o see_v within_o my_o spirit_n a_o great_a measure_n of_o the_o eternal_a glory_n and_o shame_n to_o come_v than_o any_o creature_n now_o live_v in_o this_o world_n 20_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o and_o the_o continual_a supply_n which_o i_o receive_v from_o that_o fountain_n of_o glory_n i_o know_v that_o the_o most_o eminent_a appearance_n in_o these_o body_n of_o clay_n be_v but_o mere_a shadow_n in_o

first_o resurrection_n be_v both_o bless_a and_o holy_a 22_o moreover_o do_v not_o a_o first_o resurrection_n include_v a_o second_o resurrection_n how_o then_o can_v that_o man_n be_v think_v to_o have_v part_n in_o this_o first_o resurrection_n which_o vain_o boast_v that_o he_o be_v possess_v with_o the_o second_o resurrection_n of_o glory_n with_o a_o christ_n already_o 23_o furthermore_n you_o see_v that_o the_o apostle_n never_o boast_v that_o he_o be_v glorify_v with_o christ_n already_o neither_o do_v he_o expect_v any_o glory_n but_o rather_o continual_a shame_n until_o christ_n do_v personal_o appear_v to_o change_v his_o vile_a body_n into_o the_o likeness_n of_o his_o glorious_a body_n again_o you_o know_v it_o be_v write_v if_o we_o suffer_v with_o he_o then_o shall_v we_o also_o reign_v with_o he_o 24_o moreover_o do_v christ_n reign_v on_o the_o throne_n of_o his_o glory_n with_o his_o angel_n moses_n and_o elias_n till_o he_o have_v suffer_v under_o a_o thorny_a
