be_v very_o steep_a and_o can_v not_o be_v ascend_v but_o by_o circle_v there_o be_v two_o other_o cell_n of_o the_o same_o proportion_n wherein_o he_o will_v stay_v sometime_o when_o he_o have_v a_o

great_a anthony_n who_o be_v direct_v so_o to_o do_v by_o a_o divine_a revelation_n he_o sleep_v in_o our_o lord_n the_o life_n of_o this_o paul_n be_v elegant_o describe_v by_o saint_n hierome_n the_o life_n it_o have_v be_v often_o doubt_v among_o many_o by_o what_o monk_n the_o desert_n be_v first_o inhabit_v some_o have_v reach_v at_o it_o so_o high_a as_o to_o ascribe_v the_o first_o beginning_n to_o b._n elias_n &_o then_o to_o john_n but_o elias_n seem_v to_o we_o to_o have_v rather_o be_v a_o prophet_n than_o a_o monk_n and_o john_n to_o have_v begin_v to_o be_v a_o kind_n of_o a_o prophet_n before_o he_o be_v bear_v but_o some_o other_o affirm_v and_o they_o have_v bring_v the_o whole_a vulgar_a to_o be_v of_o their_o opinion_n that_o anthony_n be_v the_o first_o in_o

that_o he_o give_v spirit_n to_o the_o endeavour_n and_o design_n of_o they_o all_o but_o amathas_n and_o macharius_fw-la who_o be_v the_o disciple_n of_o this_o anthony_n and_o whereof_o the_o

but_o now_o for_o as_o much_o as_o a_o diligent_a account_n have_v be_v give_v we_o of_o this_o anthony_n both_o in_o the_o greek_a and_o latin_a tongue_n i_o have_v dispose_v myself_o to_o write_v some_o few_o thing_n of_o the_o beginning_n &_o end_n of_o paul_n rather_o because_o it_o have_v be_v omit_v by_o other_o then_o that_o i_o presume_v upon_o myself_o for_o as_o for_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o life_n in_o the_o middle_a part_n of_o his_o age_n and_o what_o subtle_a sly_a temptation_n of_o satan_n he_o sustain_v there_o be_v no_o mortal_a man_n who_o can_v tell_v we_o any_o news_n
