natural_a unto_o he_o to_o be_v invisible_a as_o to_o be_v a_o god_n and_o therefore_o saint_n john_n say_v 4.12_o john_n 4.12_o no_o man_n have_v see_v god_n at_o any_o time_n yet_o to_o satisfy_v moses_n so_o much_o as_o be_v fit_a for_o his_o happiness_n god_n say_v that_o he_o shall_v see_v his_o backepart_n that_o be_v he_o shall_v understand_v so_o much_o concern_v god_n as_o the_o weak_a understanding_n of_o man_n can_v possible_o comprehend_v for_o he_o see_v nothing_o at_o all_o after_o any_o visible_a manner_n but_o only_o hear_v this_o voice_n describe_v god_n and_o we_o must_v know_v that_o god_n have_v neither_o forepart_n nor_o backepart_n that_o can_v be_v see_v with_o any_o mortal_a eye_n and_o therefore_o this_o phrase_n of_o see_v god_n backepart_v be_v only_o use_v quoad_fw-la capio_fw-la nostrum_fw-la after_o a_o humane_a manner_n and_o it_o import_v thus_o much_o in_o effect_n thou_o shall_v see_v that_o be_v thou_o shall_v understand_v or_o see_v with_o thy_o eye_n of_o knowledge_n my_o backepart_n eye_n that_o god_n be_v not_o to_o be_v see_v with_o any_o material_a eye_n that_o be_v so_o much_o concern_v i_o as_o thy_o weak_a apprehension_n shall_v be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v for_o first_o that_o god_n be_v no_o otherwise_o to_o be_v see_v then_o with_o the_o spiritual_a eye_n of_o our_o faith_n and_o understanding_n it_o appear_v plain_a because_o moses_n here_o see_v no_o visible_a thing_n but_o only_o hear_v a_o voice_n so_o when_o god_n appear_v to_o elias_n 19.11.12_o 1_o king_n 19.11.12_o there_o pass_v before_o the_o lord_n a_o mighty_a strong_a wind_n but_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o in_o the_o wind_n then_o a_o earthquake_n but_o the_o lord_n be_v not_o in_o the_o earthquake_n and_o then_o come_v a_o still_o soft_a voice_n and_o the_o lord_n be_v in_o the_o voice_n and_o so_o when_o he_o deliver_v the_o law_n he_o say_v you_o see_v no_o similitude_n save_o a_o voice_n therefore_o as_o god_n show_v himself_o none_o otherwise_o then_o by_o a_o voice_n so_o he_o can_v be_v see_v none_o otherwise_o then_o by_o the_o spiritual_a eye_n of_o our_o understanding_n second_o that_o by_o the_o backepart_v of_o god_n be_v understand_v comprehend_v by_o the_o backepart_n of_o god_n be_v understand_v so_o much_o knowledge_n of_o god_n as_o we_o be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v so_o much_o knowledge_n of_o god_n as_o our_o weak_a apprehension_n can_v conceive_v it_o be_v apparent_a in_o this_o place_n for_o moses_n neither_o see_v nor_o hear_v any_o other_o thing_n but_o only_o this_o voice_n proclaim_v these_o word_n that_o i_o have_v read_v unto_o you_o and_o therefore_o this_o be_v all_o one_o as_o if_o the_o voice_n have_v say_v unto_o he_o this_o be_v all_o that_o thou_o can_v understand_v of_o i_o that_o i_o be_o such_o and_o such_o a_o one_o as_o i_o show_v unto_o thou_o it_o be_v true_a indeed_o that_o i_o be_o so_o glorious_a to_o excellent_a so_o ineffable_a and_o so_o incomprehensible_a in_o my_o self_n that_o if_o i_o shall_v show_v thou_o my_o majesty_n and_o full_o declare_v unto_o thou_o my_o excellency_n what_o i_o be_o thou_o be_v not_o able_a to_o comprehend_v it_o and_o therefore_o

upon_o a_o man_n and_o to_o consider_v how_o much_o more_o glory_n and_o excellency_n shine_v in_o his_o face_n then_o in_o his_o backeparte_n even_o so_o thou_o must_v understand_v that_o all_o this_o which_o i_o show_v unto_o thou_o concern_v myself_o in_o comparison_n of_o what_o i_o be_o in_o the_o excellency_n of_o my_o majesty_n excellency_n that_o we_o can_v conceive_v but_o the_o least_o part_n of_o god_n excellency_n be_v but_o as_o the_o backpart_n of_o a_o man_n in_o comparison_n of_o his_o face_n and_o forepart_n so_o far_o short_a be_v this_o that_o thou_o can_v know_v of_o i_o to_o what_o i_o be_o and_o yet_o this_o least_o part_n of_o my_o excellency_n be_v so_o much_o as_o thou_o or_o any_o man_n breathe_v upon_o the_o face_n of_o the_o earth_n be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v and_o therefore_o the_o meaning_n of_o this_o phrase_n to_o see_v the_o backepart_n of_o god_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o the_o reveal_n of_o himself_o unto_o moses_n so_o far_o as_o moses_n be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v that_o be_v a_o little_a but_o not_o near_o all_o his_o property_n for_o to_o be_v incomprehensible_a be_v as_o proper_a to_o god_n as_o to_o be_v invisible_a
