much_o the_o man_n that_o it_o have_v the_o complete_a substantial_a essence_n of_o a_o man_n so_o far_o in_o itself_o that_o in_o comparison_n of_o it_o the_o body_n be_v but_o prepare_v for_o a_o

in_o this_o creation_n and_o himself_o appear_v the_o principal_a of_o they_o but_o retain_v still_o a_o high_a and_o near_a relation_n to_o the_o invisible_a world_n to_o god_n to_o the_o state_n and_o life_n of_o angel_n so_o that_o without_o any_o prejudice_n to_o his_o main_a be_v he_o may_v be_v remove_v out_o of_o the_o body_n thither_o and_o yet_o still_o be_v himself_o as_o to_o all_o
