son_n be_v the_o coessential_a son_n of_o the_o father_n must_v also_o be_v all_o light_n all_o life_n and_o all_o love_n thus_o the_o father_n be_v in_o the_o son_n and_o the_o son_n in_o the_o

on_o the_o other_o side_n must_v we_o conceive_v the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o be_v only_o a_o distinct_a denomination_n for_o we_o see_v that_o in_o the_o still_a eternity_n there_o be_v a_o distinct_a

no_o trinity_n have_v ever_o be_v whereas_o the_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o consummate_v and_o finish_v power_n which_o make_v the_o bless_a trinity_n perfect_a and_o complete_a and_o it_o differ_v from_o the_o son_n power_n forasmuch_o as_o that_o be_v a_o power_n beget_v and_o generate_v out_o of_o the_o divine_a essence_n of_o the_o father_n but_o the_o power_n of_o the_o

i_o say_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v coessential_a with_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n that_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o essence_n be_v all_o pure_a deity_n even_o as_o the_o

and_o as_o the_o father_n never_o be_v without_o the_o son_n nor_o the_o son_n without_o the_o father_n so_o likewise_o the_o father_n and_o son_n be_v never_o without_o the_o holy_a ghost_n proceed_v from_o they_o in_o the_o four_o place_n this_o out-going_a power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v manifest_v to_o be_v a_o bodily_a power_n i_o do_v not_o mean_v that_o it_o appear_v as_o a_o

that_o this_o all_o fill_a power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v call_v the_o temple_n and_o tabernacle-body_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n because_o as_o the_o father_n dwell_v in_o the_o son_n and_o

of_o all_o three_o by_o number_n as_o one_o two_o three_o and_o be_v therefore_o well_o call_v the_o holy_a number_n three_o in_o the_o four_o place_n the_o apostle_n distinguish_v they_o by_o their_o

the_o deity_n and_o indeed_o if_o the_o holy_a trinity_n be_v not_o thus_o centre_v in_o the_o most_o perfect_a unity_n they_o will_v be_v three_o distinct_a deity_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o

in_o and_o thus_o much_o shall_v suffice_v to_o have_v speak_v concern_v the_o second_o wonder_n which_o be_v to_o be_v see_v in_o the_o still_a eternity_n viz._n the_o unity_n in_o trinity_n and_o the_o trinity_n in_o unity_n though_o no_o word_n be_v able_a to_o express_v the_o majesty_n and_o transparent_a clarity_n of_o this_o sight_n as_o it_o present_v itself_o in_o the_o still_a

which_o be_v present_v to_o my_o intellectual_a sight_n be_v god_n wisdom_n concern_v who_o i_o shall_v speak_v under_o these_o three_o head_n first_o i_o shall_v speak_v of_o the_o birth_n and_o

be_v to_o know_v that_o it_o spring_n and_o flow_v from_o god_n eternal_a eye_n as_o from_o its_o eternal_a root_n and_o original_n and_o here_o it_o be_v fix_v as_o in_o its_o proper_a seat_n and_o

be_v seat_v in_o the_o same_o eye_n with_o his_o desire_a mind_n and_o willing_a will_n these_o three_o be_v in_o one_o another_o and_o penetrate_v through_o one_o another_o and_o make_v up_o but_o one_o inseparable_a indivisible_a power_n i_o say_v they_o all_o three_o exist_v i●_n the_o eye_n as_o one_o power_n yet_o distinguishable_a and_o without_o the_o least_o disorder_n or_o confusion_n the_o first_o be_v the_o wisdom_n than_o the_o mind_n and_o next_o the_o will_n for_o as_o the_o wisdom_n proceed_v from_o the_o eye_n so_o the_o mind_n proceed_v from_o the_o wisdom_n and_o the_o will_n from_o the_o mind_n and_o thus_o much_o for_o the_o birth_n and_o nativity_n of_o wisdom_n 2._o i_o come_v now_o in_o the_o next_o place_n to_o speak_v of_o the_o second_o head_n viz._n what_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o wisdom_n be_v i_o say_v then_o that_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n be_v a_o flow_a move_a power_n a_o move_a motion_n immediate_o proceed_v from_o god_n eternal_a eye_n god_n wisdom_n be_v a_o bright_a ray_n or_o glance_n issue_v from_o the_o eye_n of_o eternity_n therefore_o she_o be_v term_v the_o brightness_n or_o clarity_n of_o the_o godhead_n and_o a_o pure_a breath_n or_o efflux_n from_o the_o majesty_n of_o the_o almighty_a we_o can_v say_v nothing_o of_o she_o but_o that_o she_o be_v the_o brightness_n and_o glance_n of_o the_o eye_n of_o eternity_n who_o as_o she_o proceed_v from_o the_o eye_n so_o she_o be_v move_v by_o and_o only_o by_o the_o same_o for_o she_o be_v a_o mere_a passive_a bright_a shine_a virtue_n that_o swift_o pass_v through_o and_o pierce_v all_o thing_n by_o reason_n of_o her_o high_a purity_n and_o subtlety_n which_o can_v be_v compare_v to_o nothing_o better_a than_o to_o a_o lustrous_a shine_a glance_n be_v perfect_o passive_a and_o move_a only_o according_a to_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o father_n which_o make_v she_o more_o swift_a and_o pierce_a than_o any_o thing_n whatsoever_o but_o for_o a_o further_a illustration_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n wisdom_n i_o shall_v a_o little_a enlarge_v myself_o upon_o these_o follow_a particular_n which_o be_v so_o many_o essential_a property_n of_o the_o say_a wisdom_n i._o in_o the_o first_o place_n this_o wisdom_n be_v coessential_a with_o the_o holy_a trinity_n because_o as_o have_v be_v say_v it_o proceed_v from_o the_o trinity_n as_o a_o outgoing_a ray_n glance_n or_o brightness_n now_o nothing_o do_v immediate_o proceed_v from_o god_n but_o what_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o essence_n with_o he_o and_o consequent_o what_o can_v this_o bright_a shine_a glance_n from_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o majesty_n be_v else_o but_o pure_a deity_n as_o proceed_v from_o and_o fix_v in_o the_o eye_n of_o eternity_n ii_o the_o second_o essential_a property_n of_o this_o divine_a wisdom_n be_v this_o that_o she_o be_v coeternal_a with_o the_o everblessed_n trinity_n god_n be_v never_o without_o his_o wisdom_n nor_o the_o eye_n of_o eternity_n without_o this_o glance_n and_o bright_a ray_n which_o proceed_v from_o it_o for_o else_o god_n can_v not_o have_v be_v a_o alwise_a and_o all-knowing_a god_n therefore_o according_a to_o order_n of_o time_n the_o divine_a wisdom_n be_v coeternal_a with_o the_o holy_a trinity_n though_o in_o order_n of_o nature_n and_o dignity_n the_o holy_a trinity_n be_v before_o wisdom_n which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o passive_a effiux_fw-la from_o the_o everblessed_n trinity_n wherefore_o you_o be_v not_o to_o imagine_v that_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n as_o she_o be_v coessential_a and_o coeternal_a be_v also_o coequal_a with_o the_o holy_a trinity_n because_o as_o be_v say_v before_o she_o be_v perfect_o passive_a and_o move_v not_o herself_o but_o as_o the_o eye_n be_v move_v whereas_o the_o bless_a trinity_n be_v all_o act_n all_o act_v power_n she_o be_v indeed_o say_v to_o be_v a_o co-operator_a with_o the_o trinity_n but_o yet_o so_o as_o that_o she_o move_v not_o except_o she_o be_v move_v nor_o act_n except_o she_o be_v act_v thus_o far_o indeed_o she_o may_v be_v say_v in_o some_o sense_n to_o be_v coequal_a with_o the_o trinity_n forasmuch_o as_o she_o fill_v with_o her_o glance_n and_o brightness_n the_o whole_a still_a eternity_n but_o this_o can_v amount_v to_o a_o proper_a co-equality_n because_o she_o be_v whole_o passive_a and_o depend_v of_o the_o trinity_n beside_o she_o be_v clear_o distinguishable_a from_o the_o eye_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o eye_n as_o be_v only_o a_o brightness_n glance_v or_o ray_n proceed_v from_o it_o and_o be_v consequent_o inferior_a and_o subordinate_a to_o the_o bless_a trinity_n iii_o the_o three_o and_o last_o essential_a property_n of_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n be_v her_o virgin_n purity_n which_o consist_v in_o this_o that_o she_o be_v free_a from_o all_o desire_n will_n and_o motion_n of_o he●_n own_o she_o desire_n and_o will_v nothing_o but_o as_o the_o eternal_a mind_n and_o will_v desire_n and_o will_n in_o she_o she_o move_v not_o but_o as_o she_o be_v move_v and_o act_v not_o but_o as_o she_o be_v act_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n for_o she_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o bright_a passive_a glance_n from_o the_o eye_n of_o eternity_n she_o be_v a_o eternal_a stillness_n in_o herself_o she_o be_v not_o the_o majesty_n itself_o nor_o the_o eye_n but_o she_o be_v only_o the_o beauty_n glory_n brightness_n lustre_n and_o glance_n of_o the_o majesty_n in_o the_o eye_n and_o that_o such_o a_o transparent_a clarity_n and_o brightness_n as_o be_v without_o all_o spot_n or_o blemish_n and_o in_o a_o word_n she_o be_v nothing_o but_o perfect_a absolute_a purity_n she_o be_v a_o thousand_o time_n bright_a and_o pure_a than_o the_o sun_n and_o fair_a than_o the_o moon_n and_o indeed_o nothing_o can_v be_v compare_v to_o the_o excellence_n of_o that_o her_o virginpurity_n but_o her_o

how_o the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n be_v in_o one_o another_o eternal_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o their_o unity_n they_o be_v distinguish_v by_o those_o three_o figure_n of_o eye_n

to_o give_v you_o some_o account_n concern_v the_o nature_n of_o these_o forementioned_a figure_n in_o these_o follow_a particular_n in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o say_v that_o those_o image_n and_o figure_n which_o the_o open_n of_o the_o eye_n manifest_v be_v not_o shadow_n and_o empty_a representation_n but_o real_a and_o substantial_a one_o they_o be_v not_o only_a figure_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n but_o the_o heavenly_a thing_n themselves_o in_o the_o second_o place_n i_o say_v that_o these_o figure_n be_v live_v and_o spiritful_a representation_n not_o dead_a image_n for_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o live_a god_n fill_v they_o all_o with_o life_n and_o spirit_n and_o power_n in_o the_o three_o and_o last_o place_n these_o figure_n be_v unchangeable_a and_o that_o because_o they_o be_v essential_a to_o the_o holy_a trinity_n so_o the_o eye_n be_v essential_a to_o the_o father_n the_o flame_a heart_n of_o love_n be_v essential_a to_o the_o son_n and_o the_o outflowing_a breath_n of_o power_n be_v essential_a to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o though_o in_o eternal_a nature_n in_o the_o darkness_n the_o eye_n of_o the_o father_n appear_v dark_a wrathful_a and_o terrible_a and_o contrary_a in_o the_o light_n shine_v pleasant_a and_o full_a of_o love_n yet_o the_o eye_n be_v not_o change_v by_o th●se_a variation_n but_o remain_v still_o the_o unchangeable_a essential_a eye_n of_o the_o father_n though_o diversify_v by_o the_o light_n and_o darkness_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o unchangeable_a image_n of_o the_o father_n in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n be_v the_o sight_n o●_n black_a of_o a_o eye_n into_o which_o likeness_n he_o have_v be_v please_v to_o contract_v himself_o for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o himself_o for_o though_o we_o as_o creature_n be_v command_v to_o make_v no_o representation_n or_o image_n of_o the_o trinity_n yet_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o they_o may_v bring_v forth_o a_o divine_a imag●_n and_o representation_n of_o themselves_o what_o have_v be_v say_v concern_v the_o eye_n may_v be_v also_o say_v concern_v the_o heart_n viz._n that_o it_o be_v the_o unchangeable_a essential_a and_o substantial_a image_n of_o the_o son_n for_o he_o manifest_v himself_o to_o angel_n and_o saint_n in_o this_o figure_n of_o a_o central_a heart_n all_o flame_a with_o love_n otherwise_o this_o hand_n can_v not_o have_v write_v of_o it_o and_o the_o outflowing_a breathe_n or_o air_n proceed_v from_o the_o eye_n and_o heart_n be_v the_o immutable_a and_o essential_a image_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o eye_n by_o its_o open_n of_o itself_o do_v clear_o discover_v to_o we_o that_o the_o one_o only_a true_a god_n who_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n have_v bring_v forth_o himself_o into_o a_o beginning_n and_o end_n into_o matter_n and_o form_n into_o corporeity_n and_o figure_n in_o the_o sense_n as_o have_v be_v before_o express_v else_o it_o may_v seem_v

divine_a chaos_n be_v before_o it_o answ._n the_o answer_n be_v obvious_a for_o i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o eternal_a nature_n be_v the_o first_o essence_n but_o the_o first_o create_v ●ss●●ce_n now_o the_o eternal_a world_n and_o divine_a chaos_n be_v not_o create_v by_o god_n but_o generate_v out_o of_o he_o therefore_o it_o remain_v unshaken_a that_o eternal_a nature_n be_v the_o first_o

create_a essence_n do_v immediate_o proceed_v from_o eternal_a nature_n and_o not_o from_o god_n because_o both_o the_o divine_a chaos_n and_o eternal_a nature_n ●and_n between_o they_o and_o god_n now_o that_o create_v essence_n ●id_v not_o immediate_o proceed_v from_o god_n will_v appear_v by_o these_o follow_a reason_n first_o if_o all_o creature_n have_v immediate_o proceed_v from_o god_n they_o must_v all_o have_v be_v a_o
eternity_n with_o himself_o that_o be_v with_o power_n for_o the_o further_a illustration_n of_o which_o we_o be_v to_o know_v that_o though_o god_n have_v several_a name_n give_v he_o in_o the_o scripture_n yet_o the_o most_o if_o not_o all_o of_o they_o speak_v his_o relation_n to_o eternal_a nature_n as_o he_o have_v introduce_v himself_o into_o it_o and_o clothe_v himself_o with_o it_o but_o this_o name_n the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n express_v he_o only_o with_o regard_n to_o his_o solitary_a and_o abstract_a be_v as_o he_o exist_v in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n without_o any_o relation_n to_o eternal_a nature_n now_o as_o god_n by_o the_o open_n of_o the_o eye_n discover_v himself_o to_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n exist_v in_o and_o fill_v the_o globe_n of_o

every_o part_n of_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n here_o be_v also_o discover_v that_o this_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n as_o it_o be_v all-power_n so_o it_o be_v one_o undivided_a power_n as_o perfect_a unity_n without_o any_o separation_n distinction_n or_o division_n so_o as_o from_o this_o manifestation_n we_o may_v define_v the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n to_o be_v the_o one_o total_a and_o universal_a power_n which_o fill_v the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n 2._o the_o second_o particular_a be_v this_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n be_v not_o only_o essential_a and_o substantial_a in_o itself_o but_o also_o the_o primary_n essence_n of_o all_o essence_n and_o substance_n of_o all_o substance_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n be_v essential_a appear_v because_o it_o be_v all_o power_n now_o there_o can_v be_v no_o power_n but_o what_o be_v essential_a power_n imply_v essence_n in_o the_o notion_n of_o it_o for_o we_o can_v conceive_v of_o power_n without_o essence_n nor_o of_o essence_n without_o power_n it_o appear_v also_o that_o this_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n be_v the_o original_a essence_n of_o all_o other_o essence_n because_o the_o open_n of_o the_o eye_n discover_v this_o spirit_n to_o be_v the_o first_o essence_n not_o only_o in_o order_n of_o time_n but_o also_o by_o nature_n and_o way_n of_o causality_n or_o efficiency_n nothing_o be_v above_o beyond_o or_o before_o it_o moreover_o as_o be_v say_v before_o this_o spirit_n be_v discover_v to_o be_v a_o all-power_n a_o total_a and_o universal_a power_n that_o be_v a_o power_n including_z and_o comprehend_v all_o power_n and_o from_o whence_o as_o from_o a_o fruitful_a womb_n all_o power_n whatsoever_o be_v derive_v and_o do_v proceed_v now_o if_o this_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n be_v the_o power_n of_o all_o power_n it_o must_v by_o consequence_n be_v the_o essence_n of_o all_o essence_n because_o as_o be_v just_a now_o hint_v the_o one_o can_v be_v without_o the_o other_o no_o power_n can_v be_v without_o essence_n nor_o essence_n without_o power_n but_o you_o will_v say_v if_o the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n be_v the_o first_o beginning_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o the_o essence_n of_o all_o essence_n than_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o god_n be_v the_o beginning_n as_o well_o of_o evil_a essence_n as_o of_o good_a to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o when_o we_o say_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n be_v the_o first_o beginning_n and_o essence_n of_o all_o essence_n it_o must_v be_v restrain_v to_o good_a essence_n action_n and_o motion_n which_o do_v proceed_v from_o the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n and_o not_o those_o that_o be_v evil_a in_o the_o second_o place_n when_o we_o say_v the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n be_v the_o essence_n of_o all_o essence_n it_o must_v be_v thus_o understand_v that_o from_o the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n do_v proceed_v the_o first_o eternal_a beginning_n of_o all_o essence_n in_o relation_n to_o himself_o that_o be_v in_o relation_n to_o the_o abyssal_n eye_n which_o be_v himself_o and_o from_o himself_o and_o in_o relation_n to_o his_o abyssal_n globe_n which_o be_v himself_o and_o from_o himself_o now_o nothing_o can_v be_v in_o god_n but_o that_o which_o be_v god_n and_o therefore_o contrary_a to_o all_o evil_a for_o there_o be_v no_o evil_n original_o in_o himself_o therefore_o they_o be_v whole_o out_o that_o will_v draw_v good_a and_o evil_a from_o god_n eternal_a beginning_n of_o himself_o when_o indeed_o the_o open_n of_o the_o eye_n do_v only_o manifest_v what_o be_v shut_v up_o in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o abyss_n and_o manifest_v nothing_o that_o be_v without_o the_o abyss_n now_o there_o be_v nothing_o but_o god_n himself_o manifest_v in_o the_o abyss_n of_o eternity_n and_o no_o evil_a essence_n be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o he_o therefore_o it_o must_v follow_v that_o the_o eye_n of_o eternity_n do_v only_o manifest_a god_n to_o be_v the_o original_n of_o all_o good_a essence_n and_o not_o of_o evil_a because_o the_o eye_n of_o eternity_n can_v manifest_v that_o which_o be_v not_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o no_o evil_a can_v be_v in_o god_n therefore_o when_o we_o say_v that_o all_o essence_n proceed_v from_o god_n it_o must_v be_v restrain_v to_o all_o such_o essence_n as_o do_v immediate_o proceed_v from_o god_n even_o such_o as_o god_n be_v the_o immediate_a author_n of_o and_o those_o be_v only_o all_o good_a essence_n for_o whatsoever_o do_v immediate_o proceed_v from_o god_n the_o high_a good_a must_v needs_o be_v good_a and_o no_o way_n evil_a 3._o the_o three_o particular_a which_o the_o open_n of_o the_o eye_n manifest_v concern_v the_o be_v a_o existence_n of_o god_n be_v this_o that_o the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n be_v the_o original_a essence_n of_o all_o essence_n that_o be_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n be_v not_o only_o the_o first_o of_o all_o essence_n but_o also_o that_o he_o subsist_v in_o and_o from_o himself_o and_o owe_v his_o existence_n to_o none_o but_o himself_o as_o be_v the_o only_a original_n of_o self_n and_o thus_o we_o have_v do_v with_o the_o first_o mystery_n which_o be_v discover_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o mind_n by_o the_o open_n of_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o abyss_n viz._n the_o mystery_n o●_n god_n be_v and_o existence_n that_o he_o be_v the_o only_a true_a god_n and_o father_n of_o all_o who_o be_v above_o all_o before_o all_o through_o all_o and_o in_o all_o the_o second_o mystery_n which_o be_v discover_v by_o the_o open_n of_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o abyss_n be_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n viz._n how_o the_o eternal_a unity_n bring_v forth_o the_o sacred_a trinity_n coeternal_a coessential_a coequal_a with_o himself_o the_o eternal_a unity_n be_v the_o father_n who_o bring_v forth_o his_o son_n and_o spirit_n out_o of_o himself_o be_v there_o no_o eternal_a unity_n there_o can_v be_v no_o trinity_n if_o

proceed_v from_o the_o eternal_a unity_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o open_n of_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o abyss_n do_v reconcile_v this_o seem_a contradiction_n for_o at_o the_o disclose_v of_o the_o eye_n the_o spirit_n of_o the_o mind_n clear_o see_v ●hat_n the_o holy_a trinity_n be_v one_o with_o the_o eternal_a unity_n because_o they_o be_v one_o in_o another_o and_o proceed_v one_o from_o another_o and_o do_v not_o exist_v several_o in_o distinction_n from_o or_o without_o one_o another_o for_o thus_o the_o indissoluble_a band_n of_o god_n eternal_a unity_n will_v be_v break_v and_o his_o indivisibility_n take_v away_o but_o here_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o eternal_a unity_n abide_v indivisible_a notwithstanding_o that_o the_o holy_a trinity_n proceed_v from_o it_o because_o they_o subsist_v one_o in_o another_o the_o son_n and_o spirit_n subsist_v in_o the_o eternal_a unity_n of_o the_o father_n further_o we_o must_v know_v that_o though_o unity_n do_v exclude_v all_o manner_n of_o contrariety_n yet_o it_o may_v consist_v with_o harmonious_a variety_n now_o the_o father_n be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o son_n and_o spirit_n nor_o they_o to_o the_o father_n but_o their_o ●ariety_n be_v harmonize_v in_o unity_n again_o though_o eternal_a unity_n can_v consist_v with_o a_o ●bsolute_a distinction_n division_n and_o separation_n such_o as_o be_v between_o thing_n

without_o one_o another_o as_o be_v unite_v in_o the_o root_n of_o unity_n we_o next_o come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o locality_n or_o vbi_fw-la of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n which_o according_a
to_o the_o forego_n figure_n be_v in_o the_o midst_n or_o centre_n of_o the_o abyssal_n globe_n when_o the_o eye_n be_v close_v or_o shut_v up_o than_o neither_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o father_n nor_o

i_o do_v not_o make_v use_n of_o scripture_n for_o the_o confirmation_n or_o illustration_n of_o these_o deep_a mystery_n the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o holy_a scripture_n speak_v of_o god_n as_o
