the_o second_o mean_n be_v more_o remote_a from_o sense_n then_o the_o other_o and_o more_o supernatural_a naked_a and_o perfect_a for_o whereas_o the_o other_o work_v so_o naked_o and_o above_o

in_o open_a view_n as_o shall_v be_v see_v but_o here_o i_o pray_v that_o this_o mean_v be_v well_o understand_v for_o it_o pertain_v oneiy_a to_o those_o that_o be_v thorough_o enlighten_v and_o be_v

therefore_o w●_n may_v be_v unite_v to_o this_o essential_a will_n we_o must_v always_o see_v it_o and_o that_o we_o may_v always_o see_v it_o we_o mu●_n see_v nothing_o but_o it_o and_o that_o we●_n
