how_o prevalent_a and_o useful_a the_o knowledge_n of_o they_o be_v both_o as_o to_o the_o heavenly_a eternity_n and_o terrestrial_a infirmity_n out_o of_o which_o two_o the_o knowledge_n of_o theology_n justice_n and_o truth_n do_v very_o excellent_o spring_v forth_o moreover_o the_o mystery_n of_o nature_n only_o be_v the_o life_n of_o man_n and_o such_o mystery_n be_v to_o be_v imitate_v

&_o also_o in_o the_o mystery_n of_o nature_n far_o great_a thing_n yet_o nevertheless_o as_o to_o that_o eternal_a mystery_n after_o this_o life_n concern_v both_o of_o what_o how_o and_o whence_o it_o be_v we_o have_v no_o other_o foundation_n or_o ground_n thereof_o than_o what_o be_v manifest_v unto_o we_o by_o christ_n himself_o hence_o therefore_o do_v arise_v that_o ignorant_a stupidity_n

they_o understand_v not_o the_o least_o tittle_n thereof_o for_o we_o man_n can_v at_o all_o find_v out_o what_o the_o will_n and_o pleasure_n of_o he_o be_v that_o give_v it_o or_o declare_v it_o but_o very_o they_o wrest_v his_o word_n for_o pride_n and_o covetousness_n sake_n from_o whence_o do_v proceed_v so_o many_o seduction_n and_o do_v daily_o prevail_v more_o &_o more_o as_o we_o have_v demonstrate_v in_o our_o monarchiâ_fw-la on_o this_o account_n therefore_o we_o do_v disesteem_a yea_o not_o at_o all_o value_n that_o reason_n or_o fantasy_n that_o have_v not_o the_o least_o foundation_n in_o the_o mystery_n visible_o in_o like_a manner_n the_o jurist_n or_o lawyer_n do_v patch_v up_o law_n according_a to_o their_o own_o conceit_n yet_o so_o that_o though_o the_o

the_o same_o q_o e._n be_v the_o colour_n life_n and_o propriety_n of_o thing_n it_o be_v a_o spirit_n like_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n with_o this_o difference_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o

yet_o notwithstanding_o the_o life_n and_o virtue_n be_v therein_o for_o this_o reason_n because_o that_o be_v a_o fix_v predestination_n therefore_o the_o quintessence_n may_v be_v extract_v therefrom_o and_o be_v also_o conserve_v with_o the_o life_n thereof_o without_o corruption_n as_o a_o thing_n eternal_a according_a to_o its_o predestination_n but_o now_o can_v we_o but_o extract_v after_o this_o manner_n the_o life_n of_o the_o heart_n without_o corrupt_v it_o even_o as_o be_v possible_a for_o we_o to_o do_v out_o of_o thing_n insensible_a without_o doubt_n we_o may_v be_v

consist_v of_o such_o a_o temperature_n for_o by_o it_o it_o will_v be_v whole_o alienate_v from_o the_o element_n but_o all_o quintessence_n have_v a_o nature_n according_a to_o the_o element_n as_o

because_o both_o of_o they_o be_v of_o a_o fiery_a nature_n he_o will_v be_v extreme_o mistake_v because_o the_o predestination_n and_o disposition_n cause_v the_o diversity_n of_o virtue_n for_o

neither_o sweetness_n nor_o sourness_n nor_o any_o power_n or_o virtue_n beside_o the_o mixion_n of_o the_o four_o element_n and_o this_o secret_a we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v ignorant_a of_o in_o
