soul_n to_o god_n and_o as_o the_o riverwater_n be_v not_o call_v the_o sea_n though_o it_o be_v the_o same_o water_n so_o this_o exterior_a will_n be_v not_o proper_o call_v god_n though_o it_o be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o spirit_n and_o as_o the_o limit_n only_o and_o not_o the_o substance_n cause_v it_o to_o be_v call_v a_o river_n and_o not_o the_o sea_n so_o the_o limit_n of_o this_o

the_o limit_n of_o this_o will_v proceed_v not_o thereof_o but_o from_o our_o darkness_n and_o as_o if_o there_o be_v no_o land_n we_o shall_v see_v no_o river_n but_o all_o sea_n because_o there_o

no_o impediment_n be_v carry_v by_o the_o course_n of_o this_o will_n unto_o the_o naked_a essence_n of_o god_n and_o as_o when_o one_o be_v so_o lead_v into_o the_o main_a ocean_n he_o see_v no_o

if_o you_o demand_v why_o in_o the_o begin_n a_o man_n take_v not_o god_n for_o the_o object_n of_o this_o exercise_n without_o this_o will_n i_o ask_v why_o do_v not_o one_o leap_v over_o the_o

say_v because_o it_o be_v at_o rouen_n and_o not_o at_o newhuaen_n i_o answer_v the_o like_a that_o the_o beginner_n be_v not_o in_o this_o ample_a and_o spacious_a essential_a sea_n of_o god_n but_o in_o this_o river_n of_o his_o will_n which_o will_v lead_v they_o thereto_o and_o i_o hold_v it_o a_o point_n of_o great_a indiscretion_n to_o set_v a_o little_a boat_n on_o the_o main_a sea_n and_o
