neither_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o as_o a_o act_n be_v either_o good_a or_o evil_n but_o as_o godliness_n be_v a_o mystery_n and_o inward_a and_o be_v within_o we_o so_o be_v sin_n likewise_o

the_o letter_n the_o letter_n only_o forbid_v the_o outward_a act_n of_o adultery_n but_o the_o spirituality_n forbid_v the_o very_a lust_n within_o and_o therefore_o he_o that_o look_v on_o a_o

upon_o the_o earth_n and_o that_o may_v be_v see_v be_v visible_a and_o corporal_a for_o that_o when_o any_o man_n shall_v prove_v heaven_n a_o local_a place_n and_o that_o god_n the_o fathour_n sit_v

to_o make_v he_o to_o consist_v of_o flesh_n and_o blood_n or_o bodily_a shape_n in_o heaven_n as_o man_n call_v it_o for_o though_o it_o be_v say_v that_o steven_n see_v the_o heaven_n open_v and_o

of_o leicestershire_n do_v affirm_v to_o i_o in_o a_o private_a conference_n that_o he_o think_v it_o may_v be_v so_o but_o his_o divinity_n be_v as_o little_a as_o his_o person_n i_o leave_v he_o as_o know_v that_o the_o man_n christ_n leave_v his_o fleshly_a be_v to_o live_v in_o the_o divine_a which_o be_v void_a of_o all_o form_n and_o shape_n or_o to_o be_v see_v visible_o by_o any_o

i_o must_v leave_v man_n to_o their_o dark_a and_o carnal_a apprehension_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o be_o content_a to_o be_v nothing_o that_o god_n may_v be_v all_o and_o to_o let_v fall_v my_o

that_o i_o can_v willing_o resolve_v all_o my_o comfort_n joy_n and_o peace_n into_o god_n who_o be_v that_o endless_a and_o infinite_a ocean_n and_o rather_o desire_v to_o be_v comprehend_v of_o it_o

of_o the_o body_n after_o this_o life_n but_o that_o all_o thing_n and_o creature_n below_o god_n perish_v and_o die_v and_o god_n only_a life_n and_o rise_v in_o more_o power_n and_o glorious_a

and_o so_o i_o leave_v it_o and_o come_v to_o the_o last_o subject_n of_o my_o discourse_n which_o be_v that_o we_o call_v scripture_n and_o because_o man_n be_v as_o carnal_a about_o that_o as_o any_o of_o the_o former_a and_o because_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o the_o mistake_v in_o the_o former_a be_v only_o the_o misapprehension_n of_o the_o scripture_n we_o shall_v insist_v upon_o that_o a_o little_a the_o more_o large_a and_o so_o conclude_v concern_v the_o scripture_n if_o you_o take_v scripture_n as_o it_o be_v write_v by_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n it_o be_v a_o form_n of_o

god_n of_o all_o other_o book_n set_v forth_o all_o condition_n estate_n and_o enjoyment_n of_o all_o man_n in_o the_o world_n it_o be_v the_o word_n in_o flesh_n the_o word_n be_v make_v flesh_n it_o be_v the_o high_a discovery_n of_o god_n in_o flesh_n the_o true_a testimony_n of_o god_n in_o the_o world_n i_o do_v very_o believe_v that_o what_o pitch_n soever_o any_o man_n have_v or_o can_v

i_o look_v upon_o it_o to_o be_v spiritual_a and_o so_o it_o be_v the_o law_n write_v in_o the_o heart_n and_o so_o it_o be_v spirit_n and_o life_n as_o christ_n say_v the_o word_n that_o i_o speak_v be_v spirit_n and_o life_n so_o that_o what_o christ_n speak_v spiritual_o that_o be_v scripture_n and_o so_o it_o be_v the_o power_n of_o god_n for_o take_v scripture_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o

be_v in_o the_o history_n so_o it_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v above_o all_o other_o writing_n in_o the_o world_n but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o mystery_n and_o god_n be_v the_o substance_n of_o it_o so_o i_o must_v believe_v it_o as_o god_n make_v it_o out_o in_o i_o i_o must_v not_o build_v my_o faith_n upon_o it_o or_o any_o say_n of_o it_o because_o such_o and_o such_o man_n write_v or_o speak_v so_o
