neither_o matter_n nor_o homogeneous_a with_o the_o matter_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o and_o so_o the_o wiseman_n mention_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o beast_n that_o go_v downward_o to_o the_o

and_o the_o only_a question_n be_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o such_o matter_n which_o be_v comparative_o more_o den_n or_o more_o rare_a than_o any_o other_o matter_n simple_o in_o itself_o and_o

be_v a_o body_n more_o porous_a and_o the_o pore_n thereof_o fill_v with_o another_o matter_n more_o rare_a than_o itself_o and_o so_o infinite_o which_o be_v both_o irrational_a and_o impossible_a for_o suppose_v the_o pore_n of_o any_o terreous_a body_n to_o be_v fill_v with_o water_n and_o any_o pore_n of_o that_o with_o air_n and_o any_o pore_n of_o that_o with_o aether_n and_o any_o pore_n

popular_a expression_n such_o as_o be_v according_a to_o false_a apprehension_n of_o common_a people_n or_o deception_n of_o sens_n and_o the_o like_a and_o i_o suppose_v they_o can_v not_o show_v

some_o more_o poetical_a and_o rhetorical_a part_n thereof_o which_o yet_o may_v as_o easy_o be_v discern_v as_o in_o any_o ordinary_a discourse_n but_o certain_o the_o divine_a verity_n do_v not_o any_o where_o offer_v any_o thing_n of_o falsity_n or_o deception_n but_o express_v most_o infallible_a truth_n in_o the_o common_a language_n of_o mankind_n and_o particular_o according_a to_o those_o tongue_n wherein_o it_o be_v write_v and_o most_o wise_o order_v and_o vary_v the_o expression_n according_a to_o the_o occasion_n and_o intention_n thereof_o and_o so_o here_o concern_v the_o

it_o show_v that_o the_o circumferential_n superaether_o as_o well_o as_o the_o centrical_a earth_n be_v immovable_a like_o the_o roof_n and_o foundation_n of_o a_o house_n which_o be_v both_o

the_o earth_n be_v so_o found_v upon_o her_o base_n that_o it_o may_v not_o be_v move_v now_o as_o the_o earth_n have_v no_o heat_n planetary_a virtue_n or_o the_o like_a active_a and_o motive_n

therefore_o possess_v the_o centre_n of_o the_o world_n to_o which_o it_o be_v unite_v as_o to_o another_o thing_n by_o its_o own_o gravity_n wherefore_o as_o the_o universal_a centre_n be_v immobile_a otherwise_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v such_o a_o centre_n so_o the_o gravity_n of_o the_o earth_n do_v indissoluble_o unite_v it_o thereunto_o unless_o there_o can_v be_v assign_v any_o other_o body_n in_o nature_n more_o grave_a than_o it_o which_o may_v extrude_v it_o again_o as_o by_o its_o own_o gravity_n it_o be_v thus_o unite_a to_o the_o centre_n so_o by_o its_o own_o

to_o have_v more_o consistent_a part_n one_o way_n then_o another_o yet_o because_o they_o be_v all_o consistent_a they_o do_v not_o flow_v every_o way_n to_o fill_v the_o sphere_n but_o all_o weigh_v perpendicular_o downward_o upon_o the_o same_o centre_n without_o any_o fluctuation_n trepidation_n or_o inclination_n any_o other_o way_n and_o to_o keep_v it_o from_o be_v move_v in_o the_o whole_a about_o the_o centre_n any_o way_n it_o have_v magnetical_a virtue_n to_o fix_v it_o in_o one_o determinate_a polar_a position_n north_n and_o south_n so_o that_o it_o can_v neither_o be_v move_v out_o of_o its_o place_n nor_o in_o its_o place_n but_o be_v whole_o immobile_a and_o because_o this_o magnetical_a virtue_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v the_o only_a colourable_a caus_n offer_v to_o

be_v planetary_a and_o shall_v observe_v a_o wonderful_a analogy_n between_o they_o that_o be_v that_o the_o pole_n of_o the_o earth_n do_v so_o correspond_v with_o the_o pole_n of_o the_o aether_n that_o if_o the_o magnetical_a axis_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v produce_v it_o will_v intersect_v the_o pole_n of_o the_o aether_n so_o as_o it_o shall_v seem_v to_o move_v round_o upon_o and_o about_o

suppose_v because_o they_o have_v the_o same_o name_n but_o equivocal_a in_o nature_n and_o physica_o different_a for_o the_o earth_n have_v they_o all_o for_o fixation_n and_o rest_n and_o the_o aether_n to_o direct_v the_o motion_n thereof_o as_o i_o shall_v now_o show_v i_o suppose_v we_o all_o agree_v that_o the_o verticity_n of_o a_o magnet_n be_v a_o motion_n from_o pole_n to_o pole_n that_o be_v from_o north_n to_o south_n or_o from_o south_n to_o north_n meridionaly_n according_a to_o the_o magnetike_n axis_n thereof_o and_o not_o from_o east_n to_o west_n or_o from_o west_n to_o east_n about_o the_o axis_n and_o according_a to_o the_o aequator_fw-la thereof_o and_o also_o that_o if_o the_o earth_n do_v move_v diurnaly_n it_o must_v move_v from_o east_n to_o west_n or_o west_n to_o east_n because_o it_o be_v so_o illuminate_v now_o i_o say_v that_o no_o magnet_n do_v or_o can_v so_o move_v but_o only_o from_o north_n to_o south_n or_o from_o south_n to_o north_n as_o may_v be_v try_v by_o any_o magnet_n or_o terrella_n which_o have_v verticity_n wherefore_o they_o great_o err_v who_o affirm_v any_o such_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n or_o of_o any_o magnet_n about_o its_o axis_n for_o indeed_o if_o it_o shall_v so_o move_v about_o its_o axis_n according_a to_o the_o aequator_fw-la it_o can_v not_o also_o move_v from_o pole_n to_o pole_n according_a to_o the_o meridian_n as_o i_o shall_v also_o show_v hereafter_o nor_o do_v the_o ancient_n so_o express_v the_o earth_n to_o move_v about_o its_o axis_n but_o circa_n medium_fw-la or_o about_o its_o centre_n which_o yet_o as_o i_o have_v show_v it_o can_v do_v diurnaly_n because_o that_o motion_n be_v according_a to_o the_o aequator_fw-la again_o verticity_n which_o be_v the_o only_a motion_n of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o magnet_n by_o itself_o be_v not_o circular_a but_o only_o from_o pole_n to_o pole_n semicircular_o and_o concursion_n of_o one_o magnet_n to_o another_o be_v not_o circular_a but_o direct_o progressive_a and_o therefore_o it_o may_v not_o be_v imagine_v that_o the_o earth_n or_o planet_n do_v so_o magnetica_o move_v one_o about_o another_o as_o i_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o and_o though_o the_o verticity_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v potentia_o in_o it_o yet_o it_o never_o be_v nor_o shall_v be_v actual_a for_o unless_o it_o can_v be_v move_v from_o its_o polar_a position_n there_o be_v no_o need_n nor_o use_v thereof_o and_o such_o potentialitys_n though_o they_o be_v never_o reduce_v into_o act_n be_v not_o vain_a because_o they_o be_v hypothetical_n and_o first_o suppose_v a_o violence_n which_o nature_n abhor_v and_o so_o superaether_o as_o it_o be_v matter_n have_v motion_n as_o well_o as_o
by_o their_o great_a magnitude_n which_o render_v they_o visible_a proportionable_o according_a to_o the_o distance_n and_o by_o the_o far_o great_a and_o swift_a motion_n and_o so_o let_v the_o man_n in_o the_o ship_n sail_v with_o full_a sail_n though_o against_o the_o pretend_a motion_n of_o the_o earth_n behold_v the_o moon_n and_o star_n transvers_o and_o observe_v whether_o they_o do_v not_o

of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o earth_n as_o i_o have_v already_o disprove_v it_o so_o i_o shall_v also_o hereafter_o prove_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o aether_n and_o sun_n and_o therein_o show_v how_o

and_o we_o will_v admit_v it_o sonorous_a and_o saporous_a and_o if_o you_o plea_n odorous_a beside_o moisture_n and_o the_o other_o simple_a qualitys_n thereof_o all_o which_o may_v be_v in_o the_o

as_o motion_n in_o other_o so_o also_o rest_v in_o the_o matter_n of_o earth_n may_v not_o produce_v the_o spirit_n and_o spiritual_a qualitys_n thereof_o as_o dryness_n and_o other_o which_o though_o they_o be_v indeed_o less_o active_a than_o other_o yet_o they_o be_v active_a and_o motive_n in_o themselves_o and_o so_o consistence_n though_o it_o be_v most_o like_a the_o rest_n of_o matter_n yet_o have_v a_o strength_n and_o centre_n thereof_o very_o different_a from_o that_o of_o the_o matter_n which_o also_o of_o itself_o be_v fluid_a as_o i_o have_v show_v and_o magnetike_a virtue_n though_o it_o affect_v polar_a rest_n yet_o have_v also_o a_o intrinsical_a motion_n of_o verticity_n in_o itself_o to_o restore_v it_o unto_o it_o nor_o can_v all_o the_o terreous_a qualitys_n be_v only_o less_o active_a motion_n of_o the_o matter_n because_o they_o be_v all_o in_o the_o same_o instant_a per_fw-la omne_fw-la puncta_fw-la in_o the_o same_o matter_n and_o can_v be_v so_o make_v several_o by_o one_o and_o the_o same_o motion_n of_o the_o matter_n nor_o can_v there_o be_v so_o many_o several_a motion_n thereof_o together_o whether_o more_a or_o less_o active_a whereas_o all_o the_o terreous_a qualitys_n may_v be_v actualy_n together_o in_o the_o same_o matter_n as_o i_o have_v before_o sufficient_o declare_v of_o all_o the_o other_o element_n and_o their_o spirit_n and_o spiritual_a qualitys_n and_o i_o now_o shall_v conclude_v that_o even_o elementary_a spirit_n and_o qâ—alitys_n be_v somewhat_o more_o and_o other_o then_o either_o mater_n and_o motion_n or_o matter_n and_o rest._n x._o as_o matter_n be_v subordinate_a to_o the_o elementary_a spirit_n which_o do_v immediate_o consubstantiate_v it_o so_o be_v they_o with_o the_o matter_n to_o vegetative_a spirit_n as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o the_o scale_n of_o nature_n and_o so_o vegetative_n be_v not_o produce_v until_o the_o element_n be_v all_o perfect_v because_o vegetative_n require_v a_o elementary_a mistion_n of_o they_o all_o and_o indeed_o a_o proper_a mistion_n thereof_o which_o every_o spirit_n order_v and_o govern_v both_o as_o subordinate_a and_o subservient_fw-fr to_o itself_o but_o they_o be_v not_o govern_v by_o the_o special_a influence_n of_o any_o planet_n or_o star_n as_o the_o rabbin_n say_v there_o be_v not_o a_o star_n in_o heaven_n which_o do_v not_o point_n to_o

production_n thereof_o to_o planet_n which_o yet_o be_v more_o particular_o inservient_fw-la and_o beneficial_a to_o they_o as_o they_o do_v also_o more_o particular_o vary_v day_n and_o night_n and_o all_o the_o season_n of_o the_o year_n but_o vegetative_n be_v and_o still_o be_v produce_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n or_o terraqueous_a globe_n as_o it_o be_v moisten_v with_o water_n for_o the_o earth_n be_v the_o region_n both_o of_o vegetatives_n and_o sensitive_n and_o also_o of_o man_n and_o so_o it_o be_v say_v the_o earth_n bring_v forth_o grass_n etc._n etc._n and_o it_o be_v observe_v that_o the_o first_o produxit_fw-la be_v of_o vegetative_n for_o the_o element_n which_o immediate_o consubstantiate_v the_o matter_n be_v not_o produce_v but_o so_o create_v in_o and_o with_o it_o in_o the_o beginning_n whereby_o they_o be_v then_o denominate_v heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o so_o be_v inseparable_o unite_v unto_o it_o though_o they_o be_v afterward_o perfect_v in_o their_o

though_o vegetative_a spirit_n be_v create_v in_o the_o beginning_n as_o it_o be_v say_v god_n make_v every_o plant_n of_o the_o field_n before_o it_o be_v in_o the_o earth_n and_o every_o herb_n

previous_a and_o requisite_a to_o their_o production_n as_o they_o also_o be_v to_o the_o production_n of_o sensitive_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v hereafter_o and_o though_o vegetative_n be_v of_o a_o

and_o thistle_n and_o the_o like_a thus_o i_o have_v brief_o and_o genera_o discourse_v of_o vegetative_n as_o before_o of_o the_o four_o element_n according_a to_o this_o divine_a history_n which_o

which_o the_o earth_n do_v bring_v forth_o and_o as_o i_o have_v observe_v the_o four_o element_n be_v before_o perfect_v and_o prepare_v in_o order_n thereunto_o without_o which_o the_o matter_n

of_o the_o moon_n thus_o the_o magnetical_a planetary_a motion_n be_v very_o different_a and_o indeed_o opposite_a in_o their_o very_a nature_n and_o end_n for_o planetary_a virtue_n make_v the_o

semicircular_o by_o their_o magnetical_a verticity_n so_o we_o may_v very_o well_o conceiv_v how_o also_o planet_n may_v move_v circular_o which_o be_v only_o a_o continuation_n of_o motion_n through_o the_o whole_a circle_n whereby_o also_o they_o may_v so_o move_v perpetualy_n and_o as_o the_o needle_n do_v leap_v to_o the_o loadstone_n by_o the_o magnetical_a virtue_n actuate_v in_o

so_o many_o several_a composita_fw-la make_v thereof_o whereby_o they_o be_v all_o thus_o different_a and_o several_a one_o from_o another_o as_o they_o be_v all_o from_o the_o planetary_a aether_n as_o it_o be_v say_v god_n divide_v between_o their_o light_n and_o the_o other_o aethereal_a light_n and_o that_o every_o one_o of_o they_o be_v a_o specifica_o different_a compositum_fw-la in_o

and_o it_o be_v say_v that_o if_o they_o be_v stop_v sleep_n will_v present_o ensue_v though_o i_o rather_o conceiv_v that_o to_o be_v a_o apoplectical_a then_o soporous_a effect_n for_o it_o be_v

the_o neru_n and_o then_o sleep_n cease_v and_o that_o sensation_n begin_v to_o operate_v thereby_o again_o but_o the_o imagination_n be_v seat_v in_o the_o very_a brain_n itself_o and_o probable_o in_o the_o upper_a region_n thereof_o and_o fore-brain_n which_o we_o according_o feel_v to_o grow_v most_o hot_a by_o the_o work_n thereof_o the_o cloud_n of_o those_o ascend_a vapour_n be_v there_o

require_v in_o the_o primary_n sensation_n and_o so_o this_o secondary_a operation_n by_o by_o the_o imagination_n in_o dream_v be_v also_o much_o weak_a than_o it_o be_v when_o we_o be_v wake_v or_o at_o least_o far_o more_o wild_a and_o irregular_a either_o because_o those_o ascend_a vapour_n be_v not_o yet_o so_o pure_o defecate_v in_o the_o upper_a region_n of_o the_o brain_n or_o otherwise_o because_o the_o imagination_n than_o want_v the_o archetype_n of_o the_o primary_n sensation_n whereby_o to_o rectify_v its_o own_o contemplation_n and_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o in_o sleep_n even_o the_o animal_n spirit_n of_o the_o neru_n be_v not_o so_o consopit_v or_o as_o we_o say_v in_o a_o dead_a sleep_n ordinary_o but_o that_o any_o vehement_a sensible_n do_v soon_o awake_v they_o and_o the_o spirit_n by_o degree_n be_v rouse_v up_o and_o the_o vaporous_a cloud_n disperse_v yea_o while_o we_o be_v asleep_a as_o the_o cloud_n be_v more_o or_o less_o gross_a in_o ascend_v or_o soon_o

that_o we_o be_v as_o we_o say_v between_o sleep_v and_o wake_v now_o that_o it_o be_v so_o may_v plain_o appear_v by_o the_o cause_n of_o sleep_n which_o be_v either_o expen_v of_o spirit_n that_o induce_v a_o lassitude_n whereupon_o sleep_n naturaly_n ensue_v because_o nature_n require_v a_o recruit_v thereof_o and_o the_o blood_n than_o ascend_v more_o copious_o to_o the_o brain_n which_o be_v the_o part_n affect_v and_o indigent_a thereof_o or_o satiety_n and_o a_o full_a stomach_n whereby_o the_o vapour_n so_o ascend_v of_o themselves_o and_o drink_v common_o cause_v sleep_n more_o than_o eat_v because_o drink_n be_v more_o vaporous_a and_o spirituous_a than_o meat_n or_o dejection_n of_o the_o spirit_n by_o stupidity_n and_o sorrow_n and_o the_o like_a and_o so_o narcotike_a medicine_n by_o their_o stupify_a quality_n induce_v sleep_n or_o idleness_n and_o cessation_n from_o exercise_n of_o body_n or_o mind_n may_v be_v another_o caus_n thereof_o as_o it_o remove_v the_o impediment_n of_o sleep_n or_o indeed_o the_o very_a contrary_a thereof_o for_o so_o all_o exercise_n be_v a_o wake_v and_o therefore_o a_o man_n can_v well_o sleep_v if_o he_o do_v but_o stand_v upright_o and_o sleep_v as_o i_o may_v so_o say_v unbend_v the_o bow_n and_o relax_v not_o only_o the_o perceptive_a but_o also_o the_o motive_n spirit_n and_o thus_o as_o exercise_n and_o lassitude_n so_o wake_v and_o sleep_v do_v follow_v and_o indeed_o mutualy_a cause_n one_o another_o by_o expen_v and_o recruit_v of_o the_o animal_n spirit_n both_o perceptive_a and_o motive_n which_o hereby_o appear_v to_o be_v very_o connatural_a for_o as_o much_o study_n be_v a_o weariness_n to_o the_o flesh_n as_o the_o wise_a man_n say_v so_o weariness_n of_o the_o flesh_n be_v also_o a_o impediment_n to_o the_o study_n of_o the_o mind_n now_o as_o i_o have_v show_v that_o all_o perceptive_a sensation_n both_o primary_n and_o secondary_a be_v in_o the_o imagination_n so_o if_o any_o require_v that_o i_o shall_v also_o show_v what_o be_v that_o specifike_n imaginative_a power_n whereby_o the_o sensitive_a spirit_n so_o operate_v whereof_o i_o have_v thus_o far_o trace_v the_o operation_n or_o manner_n of_o work_v from_o the_o sensible_a object_n to_o this_o sensitive_a faculty_n as_o i_o have_v show_v that_o the_o sensitive_a spirit_n itself_o be_v a_o active_a spiritual_a substance_n create_v by_o god_n in_o the_o beginning_n and_o first_o produce_v with_o this_o and_o all_o other_o the_o innate_a qualitys_n thereof_o so_o actuate_v by_o god_n in_o this_o five_o day_n so_o i_o can_v only_o affirm_v thaâ—_n this_o imaginative_a power_n be_v such_o because_o god_n so_o create_v it_o as_o matter_n be_v matter_n and_o spirit_n spirit_n heaven_n heaven_n and_o earth_n earth_n extension_n extension_n heat_v heat_n and_o the_o like_a because_o god_n so_o create_v they_o in_o the_o begin_n and_o as_o no_o man_n can_v go_v beyond_o that_o beginning_n so_o neither_o
density_n or_o gravity_n so_o as_o they_o shall_v not_o be_v more_o or_o less_o such_o to_o they_o as_o they_o be_v in_o themselves_o and_o as_o well_o as_o they_o be_v unto_o all_o other_o as_o i_o

most_o powerful_a and_o wonderful_a manner_n but_o as_o they_o be_v spiritual_a substance_n so_o they_o have_v their_o accidental_a faculty_n and_o operation_n and_o do_v not_o operate_v by_o their_o

though_o i_o suppose_v that_o they_o have_v so_o now_o generaly_a yet_o i_o also_o conceiv_o that_o they_o can_v not_o invade_v man_n in_o his_o first_o creation_n as_o adam_n be_v restrain_v from_o

to_o tempt_v great_a sinner_n who_o give_v themselves_o up_o unto_o he_o and_o his_o government_n and_o so_o god_n suffer_v a_o lie_a spirit_n to_o seduce_v ahab_n and_o his_o false_a prophet_n and_o

resolve_v again_o into_o dust_n and_o the_o sensitive_a spirit_n be_v also_o confound_v in_o the_o chaos_n thereof_o and_o coagulate_v with_o other_o as_o it_o be_v also_o say_v who_o know_v the_o spirit_n of_o a_o man_n that_o go_v upward_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o beast_n that_o go_v downward_o to_o the_o earth_n and_o indeed_o we_o can_v know_v spirit_n as_o they_o be_v in_o

give_v it_o by_o immediate_a inspiration_n and_o proper_a creation_n and_o as_o he_o give_v it_o so_o he_o receiu_v it_o for_o as_o it_o be_v not_o produce_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n like_o the_o

substantial_a composition_n and_o therefore_o nothing_o to_o be_v dissolve_v or_o corrupt_v but_o every_o one_o be_v a_o complete_a individuum_fw-la and_o person_n in_o himself_o and_o so_o though_o the_o human_a compositum_fw-la which_o be_v composit_v of_o body_n and_o soul_n may_v be_v dissolve_v as_o i_o have_v say_v yet_o the_o human_a soul_n which_o be_v also_o a_o intelligence_n and_o

unto_o iâ—_n but_o to_o god_n that_o give_v it_o thus_o as_o every_o compositum_fw-la be_v as_o iâ—_n be_v a_o aggregate_v corporation_n so_o make_v according_a to_o natural_a polity_n as_o a_o house_n be_v by_o art_n and_o when_o the_o member_n or_o part_n of_o the_o corporation_n or_o house_n decay_n or_o be_v dissipate_v the_o very_a corporation_n or_o house_n cease_v to_o be_v such_o and_o the_o member_n or_o part_n thereof_o be_v confound_v or_o scatter_v among_o other_o and_o as_o a_o angel_n be_v as_o a_o sole_a corporation_n which_o can_v be_v so_o dissolve_v so_o man_n be_v both_o a_o aggregate_v corporation_n like_o other_o in_o a_o common_a capacity_n with_o they_o in_o his_o conjunct_a state_n and_o also_o a_o sole_a corporation_n like_o a_o angel_n in_o his_o own_o

without_o a_o improper_a creation_n which_o be_v their_o original_a generation_n so_o neither_o can_v these_o sole_a corporation_n of_o angel_n or_o man_n which_o be_v make_v such_o in_o themselves_o immediate_o by_o god_n be_v dissolve_v without_o a_o divine_a and_o supernatural_a power_n which_o only_o can_v annihilate_v they_o but_o as_o i_o say_v i_o shall_v rather_o prove_v the_o

the_o creator_n and_o first_o caus_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v also_o the_o utmost_a end_n thereof_o and_o he_o be_v immediate_o serve_v only_o by_o angel_n and_o man_n because_o they_o be_v immediate_o subordinate_a to_o he_o and_o the_o only_a intelligence_n in_o nature_n which_o only_o have_v any_o conscience_n or_o conusance_n of_o he_o and_o therefore_o can_v only_o perform_v that_o immediate_a and_o spiritual_a service_n which_o he_o require_v and_o which_o be_v fit_a and_o proper_a for_o he_o who_o be_v a_o spirit_n and_o will_v be_v so_o worship_v and_o so_o as_o i_o say_v they_o be_v create_v and_o appoint_v to_o gather_v in_o all_o the_o revenue_n of_o his_o glory_n and_o to_o render_v it_o to_o himself_o as_o well_o as_o to_o glorify_v he_o by_o their_o other_o personal_a

once_o dissolve_v do_v naturaly_n return_v again_o to_o be_v the_o same_o but_o their_o personalitys_n shall_v so_o be_v destroy_v then_o it_o shall_v be_v all_o one_o in_o respect_n to_o this_o great_a and_o utmost_a end_n of_o creation_n as_o if_o they_o have_v never_o be_v create_v for_o as_o if_o god_n have_v rest_v from_o all_o his_o work_n after_o the_o four_o day_n and_o before_o any_o

have_v show_v because_o there_o have_v be_v no_o spectator_n to_o perceiv_n or_o enjoy_v it_o so_o if_o sensitive_n also_o have_v be_v produce_v they_o can_v only_o behold_v and_o enjoy_v the_o

none_o of_o they_o can_v attein_v the_o very_a end_n of_o creation_n which_o be_v the_o glory_n of_o the_o creator_n and_o though_o they_o have_v so_o continue_v to_o be_v for_o ever_o yet_o the_o very_a end_n of_o their_o be_v have_v be_v nullify_v yea_o though_o they_o be_v make_v perfect_a and_o good_a in_o themselves_o yet_o they_o have_v not_o be_v sanctify_v or_o sublimate_v to_o any_o
