the_o soul_n say_v i_o will_v go_v see_v and_o speculate_v the_o creature_n of_o the_o world_n which_o the_o creator_n have_v make_v the_o devil_n say_v how_o will_v thou_o look_v upon_o they_o when_o thou_o can_v not_o know_v their_o essence_n and_o property_n thou_o will_v look_v upon_o the_o outside_n only_o as_o upon_o a_o grave_a image_n and_o can_v not_o know_v they_o thorough_o the_o soul_n say_v how_o may_v i_o come_v to_o know_v their_o essence_n and_o property_n the_o devil_n say_v thy_o eye_n will_v be_v open_v to_o see_v they_o thorough_o if_o thou_o do_v but_o eat_v of_o that_o from_o whence_o the_o creature_n be_v come_v to_o be_v good_a and_o evil_a and_o thou_o will_v be_v as_o god_n himself_o be_v and_o know_v what_o the_o creature_n be_v the_o soul_n say_v i_o be_o now_o a_o noble_a and_o holy_a creature_n but_o if_o i_o shall_v do_v so_o i_o shall_v die_v as_o the_o creator_n have_v say_v the_o devil_n say_v no_o thou_o shall_v not_o die_v at_o all_o but_o thy_o eye_n will_v be_v open_v and_o thou_o will_v be_v as_o god_n himself_o and_o receive_v or_o possess_v good_a and_o evil_a also_o thou_o shall_v be_v mighty_a powerful_a and_o very_o great_a as_o i_o be_o all_o the_o subtlety_n that_o be_v in_o the_o creature_n will_v be_v make_v know_v to_o thou_o the_o soul_n say_v if_o i_o have_v the_o knowledge_n of_o nature_n and_o of_o the_o creature_n i_o will_v then_o rule_v the_o whole_a world_n as_o i_o list_v the_o devil_n say_v the_o whole_a ground_n of_o that_o knowledge_n lie_v in_o thou_o do_v but_o turn_v thy_o will_n and_o desire_v from_o

of_o good_a and_o evil_n and_o so_o come_v to_o know_v all_o thing_n the_o soul_n say_v well_o then_o i_o will_v eat_v of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n of_o good_a and_o evil_a that_o i_o may_v rule_v all_o thing_n by_o my_o own_o power_n and_o be_v a_o lord_n of_o myself_o on_o earth_n and_o do_v what_o i_o will_v as_o god_n himself_o do_v the_o devil_n say_v i_o be_o the_o prince_n of_o this_o world_n and_o if_o thou_o will_v rule_v on_o earth_n thou_o must_v turn_v thy_o lust_n towards_o my_o image_n desire_v to_o be_v like_o i_o that_o thou_o may_v get_v the_o cunning_a wit_n

the_o lust_n of_o pride_n have_v turn_v away_o its_o will_n from_o god_n than_o the_o life_n of_o the_o soul_n will_v not_o trust_v god_n any_o further_a but_o will_v take_v care_n for_o its_o self_n and_o therefore_o bring_v its_o desire_n into_o the_o creature_n viz._n into_o the_o earth_n metal_n tree_n and_o other_o creature_n and_o so_o the_o kindle_a fiery_a life_n become_v hungry_a and_o

to_o god_n and_o to_o all_o creature_n which_o envy_n do_v rage_n furious_o in_o the_o desire_n of_o covetousness_n as_o a_o sting_n of_o poison_n in_o the_o body_n envy_n can_v endure_v but_o hate_v
