the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o agree_v more_o than_o it_o do_v of_o the_o dead_a to_o the_o live_n second_o because_o that_o they_o themselves_o can_v better_o perceive_v of_o their_o estate_n and_o

of_o this_o earth_n hillarius_n a_o man_n may_v easy_o reply_v thereon_o for_o according_a to_o their_o doctrine_n purgatory_n be_v in_o the_o earth_n wherefore_o sith_o hat_n he_o be_v god_n in_o

than_o other_o hold_v more_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o air_n and_o of_o the_o wind_n then_o of_o the_o earth_n and_o therefore_o they_o must_v purge_v they_o by_o the_o element_n which_o

have_v already_o speak_v the_o better_a to_o expound_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o same_o for_o as_o the_o fire_n be_v pure_a &_o clean_a and_o can_v suffer_v any_o spot_n fire_n or_o filth_n but_o

make_v it_o not_o difficulty_n to_o take_v in_o that_o place_n the_o fire_n for_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n &_o for_o more_o ample_a exposition_n of_o his_o nature_n &_o property_n wherefore_o ought_v thou_o to_o make_v a_o doubt_n to_o take_v y_fw-mi water_n in_o that_o place_n for_o that_o same_o signification_n see_v you_o agree_v y_fw-es the_o water_n have_v with_o the_o nature_n of_o y_fw-es

it_o seem_v either_o that_o he_o understand_v two_o thing_n separate_v or_o that_o he_o expound_v the_o thing_n more_o clear_a by_o a_o more_o dark_a thing_n although_o that_o thy_o answer_n do_v sufficient_o satisfy_v that_o objection_n but_o in_o that_o place_n jesus_n christ_n put_v y_fw-mi water_n first_o &_o afterward_o as_o if_o he_o will_v water_n expound_v his_o metaphor_n and_o

for_o many_o cause_n first_o because_o that_o as_o the_o fire_n be_v a_o element_n marvellous_a pure_a and_o clean_a and_o so_o necessary_a unto_o man_n life_n that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o
