of_o meat_n but_o yet_o this_o delicate_a variety_n of_o meat_n so_o diminish_v the_o loathe_n as_o that_o it_o engender_v many_o disease_n in_o the_o earthly_a paradise_n all_o man_n be_v sound_a

this_o without_o any_o labour_n or_o pain_n of_o the_o body_n take_v therefore_o but_o howsoever_o these_o matter_n be_v in_o the_o earthly_a paradise_n doubtless_o the_o lively_a water_n and_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n in_o the_o city_n of_o god_n be_v not_o meat_n and_o drink_v common_a to_o beast_n with_o man_n as_o the_o water_n &_o fruit_n here_o in_o the_o vale_n of_o our_o peregrination_n

the_o plenty_n of_o thy_o house_n &_o with_o the_o torrent_n of_o thy_o pleasure_n thou_o shall_v make_v they_o drink_v for_o these_o meat_n and_o drink_n be_v not_o corporal_a but_o spiritual_a and_o

in_o corporal_a nourishment_n one_o thing_n be_v meat_n and_o another_o thing_n drink_n but_o in_o spiritual_a nourishment_n one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v both_o meat_n and_o drink_v to_o

grant_v also_o that_o as_o by_o the_o water_n of_o life_n wisdom_n may_v be_v signify_v so_o by_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n chaeity_n for_o thus_o we_o find_v in_o s._n john_n he_o who_o love_v not_o

the_o fountain_n of_o life_n which_o be_v god_n to_o wit_n to_o enjoy_v the_o participation_n of_o that_o wisdom_n by_o the_o which_o god_n be_v wise_a the_o w●ich_a wisdom_n be_v most_o high_a and_o not_o to_o be_v express_v in_o word_n and_o the_o meat_n of_o those_o saint_n be_v to_o ear_n of_o the_o tree_n of_o life_n that_o be_v to_o enjoy_v the_o participation_n of_o that_o ineffable_a

love_v himself_o what_o these_o thing_n be_v may_v after_o a_o sort_n come_v within_o the_o compass_n of_o our_o conjecture_n but_o of_o our_o understanding_n they_o can_v nor_o ever_o shall_v until_o we_o arrive_v to_o that_o city_n itself_o now_o where_o s._n john_n say_v that_o the_o tree_n be_v upon_o either_o side_n of_o the_o river_n and_o that_o several_a month_n it_o yield_v forth_o fruit_n all_o this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v figurative_o that_o so_o by_o the_o similitude_n or_o resemblance_n of_o corporal_a thing_n we_o may_v better_o apprehend_v spiritual_a thing_n for_o the_o
