and_o knowledge_n according_a to_o outward_a reason_n but_o be_v we_o be_v abraham_n child_n therefore_o we_o have_v abraham_n spirit_n in_o christ_n and_o as_o abraham_n look_v backward_o upon_o the_o promise_n in_o paradise_n and_o forward_o upon_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o promise_n so_o that_o he_o see_v in_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o christ_n what_o be_v to_o be_v in_o the_o middle_a

and_o you_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o we_o to_o be_v account_v abraham_n you_o have_v labour_v much_o more_o than_o we_o but_o we_o be_v fall_v into_o your_o harvest_n not_o of_o merit_n but_o of_o

from_o reason_n of_o the_o outward_a world_n but_o from_o or_o out_o of_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n and_o out_o of_o he_o and_o our_o spirit_n 10._o you_o ask_v whether_o the_o soul_n depart_v

pain_n in_o the_o principle_n in_o the_o birth_n these_o have_v still_o humane_a matter_n with_o the_o work_n on_o they_o and_o they_o search_v diligent_o after_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o detention_n 12._o and_o therefore_o many_o of_o they_o come_v again_o with_o the_o starry_a spirit_n and_o walk_v about_o in_o house_n and_o other_o place_n and_o appear_v in_o humane_a shape_n and_o form_n and_o desire_v this_o and_o that_o and_o often_o take_v care_n about_o their_o will_n and_o testament_n suppose_v thereby_o to_o get_v the_o blessing_n of_o holy_a people_n for_o their_o rest_n and_o quiet_a 13._o and_o if_o their_o earthly_a business_n and_o employment_n stick_v in_o they_o and_o cleave_v to_o they_o still_o then_o indeed_o they_o take_v care_n about_o their_o child_n and_o friend_n and_o this_o continue_v so_o long_o till_o they_o sink_v down_o into_o their_o rest_n so_o that_o their_o starry_a spirit_n be_v consume_v than_o all_o be_v go_v as_o to_o all_o care_n and_o perplexity_n and_o they_o have_v no_o more_o feel_a knowledge_n thereof_o but_o mere_o that_o they_o see_v it_o in_o the_o wonder_n in_o the_o magia_n 14._o but_o they_o touch_v not_o the_o turba_n nor_o seek_v what_o be_v in_o this_o world_n for_o they_o be_v once_o sink_v down_o from_o the_o turba_n through_o death_n they_o desire_v that_o no_o more_o neither_o do_v they_o take_v any_o more_o care_n for_o in_o care_n the_o turba_n be_v stir_v for_o the_o soul_n will_v must_v enter_v with_o its_o spirit_n into_o earthly_a thing_n which_o it_o will_v fain_o forsake_v for_o it_o hardly_o get_v rid_v away_o from_o they_o before_o it_o will_v not_o cumber_v itself_o to_o let_v in_o the_o earthly_a spirit_n again_o 15._o this_o be_v a_o information_n concern_v that_o one_o part_n or_o sort_n of_o soul_n and_o we_o speak_v free_o and_o certain_o that_o this_o part_n or_o sort_n do_v no_o more_o after_o they_o be_v come_v to_o grace_n purposely_o take_v care_n about_o humane_a earthly_a matter_n but_o about_o heavenly_a matter_n which_o come_v to_o they_o through_o man_n spirit_n they_o see_v they_o and_o have_v their_o joy_n therein_o 16._o but_o there_o remain_v this_o still_a to_o be_v say_v that_o a_o live_a man_n have_v such_o power_n and_o authority_n that_o he_o can_v with_o his_o spirit_n reach_v into_o heaven_n to_o the_o soul_n depart_v and_o stir_v they_o
