meekness_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v light_a through_o venus_n desire_n 261._o what_o fierce_a wrath_n or_o anger_n then_o will_v or_o can_v come_v into_o the_o heavenly_a substantiality_n of_o the_o holy_a body_n in_o adam_n also_o that_o substantiality_n be_v not_o at_o all_o the_o life_n itself_o but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n be_v the_o right_a life_n in_o the_o holy_a body_n 262._o but_o when_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n depart_v then_o stand_v that_o image_n as_o dead_a without_o life_n and_o the_o soul_n live_v of_o the_o earthly_a fire-fewell_n though_o indeed_o it_o be_v not_o

but_o when_o it_o will_v eat_v of_o both_o then_o come_v the_o dark_a body_n to_o have_v power_n or_o strength_n and_o world_n light_n and_o rule_v over_o the_o right_n humane_a body_n thus_o sin_n

the_o divine_a light_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o shine_v in_o the_o meek_a heavenly_a substantiality_n extinguish_v 265._o for_o in_o the_o beginning_n the_o right_a humane_a essence_n of_o the_o soul_n be_v the_o fuel_n to_o its_o life_n burn_v but_o afterward_o the_o earthly_a essence_n be_v it_o and_o that_o be_v now_o the_o sin_n and_o the_o opposite_a will_n and_o the_o soul_n have_v no_o

it_o be_v that_o many_o kind_n of_o figure_n appear_v in_o the_o soul_n image_n in_o the_o inward_a all_o according_a to_o what_o its_o desire_n be_v to_o a_o substance_n as_o the_o image_n of_o

quality_n 267._o in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o earthly_a life_n it_o may_v alter_v its_o will_n and_o then_o also_o its_o fiat_n alter_v the_o figure_n but_o after_o the_o die_v of_o the_o body_n it_o have_v nothing_o more_o wherein_o it_o can_v alter_v its_o will_n as_o be_v to_o be_v see_v by_o the_o devil_n 268._o therefore_o say_v christ_n 5._o to_o must_v become_v bear_v anew_o through_o water_n and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n or_o you_o can_v see_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n understand_v out_o of_o god_n water_n out_o of_o the_o water_n of_o the_o first_o right_a image_n wherein_o the_o

be_v out_o of_o or_o from_o god_n meekness_n become_v not_o kindle_v in_o the_o fierce_a wrath_n of_o god_n but_o be_v as_o a_o impotency_n or_o weakness_n shut_v up_o in_o death_n viz_o in_o the_o
