angelical_a person_n bewitch_v eve_n innocent_a soul_n to_o hearken_v unto_o he_o and_o her_o eye_n to_o dote_v upon_o he_o that_o she_o admit_v he_o entrance_n into_o her_o body_n in_o which_o and_o

with_o she_o it_o operate_v that_o venomous_a evil_n in_o they_o and_o all_o mankind_n note_v oh_o the_o gross_a darkness_n that_o possess_v the_o learned_a man_n of_o this_o perish_a world_n you_o

of_o the_o seed_n of_o faith_n and_o none_o but_o you_o do_v know_v that_o in_o the_o divine_a will_n of_o the_o infinite_a majesty_n there_o be_v a_o twofold_a operation_n whic●_n be_v this_o mind_n what_o thou_o read_v this_o be_v a_o great_a mystery_n when_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n see_v fit_a to_o reveal_v a_o divine_a secret_a to_o his_o own_o seed_n than_o his_o holy_a spirit_n be_v all_o

not_o of_o a_o desire_a nature_n after_o wisdom_n in_o her_o creation_n because_o she_o be_v all_o divine_a satisfaction_n in_o herself_o therefore_o that_o desire_n of_o taste_v of_o the_o fruit_n of_o a_o tree_n to_o make_v her_o wise_a as_o god_n to_o know_v both_o good_a and_o evil_n proceed_v only_o from_o the_o rational_a nature_n of_o a_o unsatisfy_a spirit_n of_o the_o angelical_a

her_o soul_n be_v move_v with_o a_o powerful_a desire_n to_o make_v trial_n of_o his_o serpentine_a counsel_n and_o to_o taste_v of_o his_o spiritual_a meat_n so_o high_o exalt_v by_o he_o why_o because_o to_o she_o receive_v new_a thought_n she_o have_v not_o hear_v so_o glorious_a a_o language_n before_o also_o the_o tree_n be_v pleasant_a for_o sight_n yet_o before_o that_o glitter_a
