the_o light_n and_o power_n draw_v not_o the_o devil_n into_o the_o fire_n but_o the_o fierce_a wrath_n of_o nature_n why_o do_v the_o spirit_n assent_v to_o be_v willing_a 82._o whatsoever_o the_o

thus_o we_o know_v that_o all_o creature_n stand_v in_o spiritual_a sulphur_n mercurius_n and_o sal_fw-la substance_n and_o must_v not_o be_v only_a spirit_n but_o it_o must_v be_v sulphur_n wherein_o

that_o if_o a_o good_a branch_n be_v plant_v and_o perish_v what_o can_v the_o earth_n do_v to_o that_o it_o give_v thereto_o sap_n and_o virtue_n why_o do_v not_o the_o branch_n draw_v the_o same_o

92._o thus_o we_o be_v to_o apprehend_v that_o the_o angel_n be_v create_v not_o as_o one_o that_o set_v a_o tree_n but_o with_o the_o move_a of_o god_n with_o both_o the_o principle_n as_o light_n
