holy_a spirit_n alone_o to_o the_o heart_n and_o soul_n of_o the_o faithful_a i_o inquire_v if_o in_o this_o case_n the_o inward_a presentation_n of_o the_o object_n be_v not_o to_o be_v call_v a_o

revelation_n but_o remain_v the_o same_o whether_o it_o be_v join_v to_o the_o outward_a or_o separate_v therefrom_o even_o as_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n whether_o join_v to_o the_o body_n or_o separate_v therefrom_o yet_o it_o still_o retain_v its_o own_o nature_n that_o it_o be_v the_o immediate_a principle_n of_o its_o operation_n both_o in_o the_o body_n and_o out_o of_o the_o body_n and_o indeed_o by_o a_o certain_a analogy_n as_o the_o soul_n be_v to_o the_o body_n so_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n inward_o operate_n and_o illuminate_v to_o the_o outward_a testimony_n of_o the_o letter_n and_o because_o the_o soul_n do_v many_o thing_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o the_o body_n yet_o that_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o that_o it_o be_v the_o immediate_a principle_n of_o its_o operation_n but_o the_o soul_n do_v many_o thing_n in_o respect_n of_o its_o most_o inward_a and_o intellectual_a operation_n without_o the_o mean_n and_o help_n of_o the_o body_n even_o when_o it_o be_v in_o the_o body_n and_o therefore_o why_o may_v not_o that_o divine_a spirit_n as_o it_o do_v many_o thing_n in_o the_o saint_n by_o mean_n of_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o scripture_n do_v or_o
