1._o it_o be_v hinder_v from_o heaven_n for_o whilst_o we_o be_v in_o the_o body_n we_o be_v absent_a from_o the_o lord_n and_o we_o can_v be_v with_o christ_n till_o we_o be_v dissolve_v and_o this_o

so_o that_o the_o country_n be_v too_o narrow_a for_o they_o so_o the_o soul_n have_v her_o work_n and_o the_o body_n his_o and_o there_o be_v hardly_o time_n enough_o for_o both_o so_o as_o the_o one_o must_v needs_o hinder_v the_o other_o and_o they_o never_o will_v be_v well_o till_o separate_v the_o cloth_n be_v too_o short_a to_o cover_v they_o both_o and_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o

weigh_v down_o the_o soul_n as_o a_o bird_n that_o have_v a_o stone_n tie_v to_o its_o leg_n be_v weigh_v down_o that_o it_o can_v fly_v aloft_o so_o be_v the_o heavenly_a soul_n in_o the_o best_a christian_a depress_v by_o the_o body_n that_o it_o can_v mount_v aloft_o in_o prayer_n and_o other_o holy_a exercise_n the_o soul_n and_o body_n be_v like_o a_o pair_n of_o scale_n the_o more_o the_o one_o be_v up_o the_o more_o the_o other_o go_v down_o as_o saul_n armour_n be_v a_o burden_n to_o david_n so_o be_v the_o body_n to_o the_o soul_n the_o body_n be_v quick_o tire_v in_o the_o

the_o body_n as_o a_o man_n in_o a_o nasty_a prison_n god_n give_v man_n a_o heavenly_a soul_n and_o a_o earthly_a body_n that_o the_o heavenly_a soul_n may_v lift_v up_o the_o earthly_a body_n towards_o heaven_n but_o now_o it_o fare_v quite_o contrary_a our_o earthly_a body_n have_v weigh_v down_o our_o heavenly_a soul_n and_o make_v they_o earthly_a and_o sensual_a tamdiu_fw-la
