from_o that_o former_o deliver_v we_o deduce_v several_a corollary_n both_o from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o angel_n and_o from_o their_o power_n of_o communicate_v it_o to_o all_o which_o we_o

communicate_v themselves_o to_o our_o spirit_n suggest_v good_a thing_n and_o provoke_v we_o to_o our_o duty_n in_o holiness_n and_o obedience_n this_o i_o prove_v first_o from_o their_o power_n what_o they_o can_v do_v they_o do_v but_o they_o can_v communicate_v themselves_o to_o our_o spirit_n and_o our_o inward_a man_n they_o can_v in_o a_o very_a great_a measure_n know_v our_o mind_n and_o necessity_n they_o can_v by_o the_o mediation_n of_o our_o fancy_n and_o inward_a sense_n speak_v to_o we_o almost_o what_o ever_o they_o will_v therefore_o they_o do_v it_o the_o reason_n be_v

also_o and_o we_o prove_v also_o that_o they_o do_v love_v we_o exceed_o because_o god_n love_v we_o and_o as_o be_v their_o neighbour_n therefore_o want_v neither_o power_n to_o enable_v they_o to_o
