the_o best_a theosopher_n agree_v that_o as_o the_o upper_a order_n of_o the_o angel_n do_v receive_v their_o light_n and_o bright_a emanation_n immediate_o from_o god_n so_o do_v they_o emit_v they_o

this_o business_n the_o evident_a cause_n of_o sympathy_n and_o antipathy_n of_o thing_n proceed_v from_o the_o radical_a mystery_n of_o the_o opposite_a attribute_n or_o property_n in_o god_n which_o
