at_o a_o venture_n but_o then_o even_o then_o be_v i_o summon_v to_o give_v a_o account_n of_o my_o stewardship_n how_o i_o have_v spend_v my_o life_n this_o forty_o year_n and_o what_o i_o do_v

the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n itself_o i_o shall_v declare_v the_o very_a sense_n of_o this_o secret_a in_o plainness_n of_o speech_n which_o be_v this_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o eve_n innocent_a soul_n through_o the_o permissive_a power_n of_o god_n be_v overcome_v to_o consent_v to_o the_o serpent_n curse_a council_n his_o angelical_a person_n enter_v into_o her_o womb_n through_o her_o secret_a part_n and_o be_v unite_v to_o her_o soul_n and_o body_n his_o serpentine_a nature_n dissolve_v itself_o into_o her_o pure_a seed_n and_o defile_v she_o throughout_o and_o so_o become_v essential_o one_o with_o she_o through_o which_o natural_o she_o conceive_v a_o serpent_n dragon_n devil_n into_o a_o man_n child_n of_o flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n and_o bring_v forth_o her_o first_o beget_v son_n of_o the_o devil_n yea_o the_o very_a dragon_n serpent_n devil_n himself_o and_o call_v his_o name_n according_a to_o his_o nature_n cain_n or_o curse_a though_o ignorant_o she_o say_v she_o have_v receive_v a_o man_n from_o the_o lord_n so_o likewise_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o womb_n of_o the_o virgin-wife_n mary_n be_v honour_v with_o the_o only_a wise_a angelical_a god_n himself_o through_o which_o her_o pollute_a nature_n be_v not_o only_o cleanse_v whilst_o he_o be_v in_o her_o womb_n but_o also_o by_o virtue_n of_o the_o divine_a power_n she_o be_v enable_v to_o conceive_v his_o glorious_a majesty_n of_o her_o seed_n into_o a_o holy_a babe_n of_o unspotted_a flesh_n blood_n and_o bone_n and_o in_o his_o season_n to_o bring_v forth_o her_o first_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n and_o call_v his_o name_n according_a to_o his_o nature_n emmanuel_n jesus_n or_o bless_a so_o that_o you_o which_o be_v true_o and_o inward_o baptize_v with_o the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o the_o holy_a one_o of_o israel_n may_v see_v in_o some_o measure_n what_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o two_o scripture-seed_n the_o angelical_a devil_n first_o become_v a_o manchild_n and_o the_o angelical_a god_n afterward_o become_v a_o manchild_n thus_o the_o most_o holy_a god_n abase_v himself_o in_o the_o very_a womb_n of_o a_o woman_n that_o he_o may_v first_o or_o last_o destroy_v the_o power_n of_o that_o serpentine_a reason_n or_o lie_v imagination_n in_o all_o his_o elect_a israelite_n thus_o if_o you_o be_v not_o stone-blind_a you_o may_v clear_o see_v that_o the_o serpentine_a angel_n when_o he_o tempt_v eve_n be_v no_o homely_a beast_n as_o man_n vain_o imagine_v from_o their_o beastly_a reason_n but_o he_o be_v a_o spiritual_a body_n and_o appear_v unto_o eve_n in_o form_n like_o unto_o a_o glorious_a god_n or_o man_n now_o if_o you_o be_v unsatisfied_a as_o touch_v the_o angelical_a serpent_n consist_v of_o as_o large_a a_o compass_n as_o the_o person_n of_o a_o man_n and_o yet_o can_v enter_v into_o the_o womb_n of_o eve_n through_o so_o narrow_a a_o passage_n as_o be_v declare_v by_o i_o i_o shall_v answer_v thou_o in_o those_o say_n of_o nicodemus_n to_o christ_n john_n the_o three_o where_o he_o say_v how_o can_v a_o man_n be_v bear_v when_o he_o be_v old_a can_v he_o enter_v the_o second_o time_n into_o his_o mother_n womb_n and_o be_v bear_v again_o as_o our_o lord_n answer_v nicodemus_n unto_o his_o fleshly_a question_n so_o likewise_o from_o his_o own_o light_n in_o like_a manner_n i_o shall_v make_v answer_n unto_o this_o though_o the_o body_n of_o the_o angelical_a serpent_n in_o his_o length_n or_o breadth_n be_v as_o a_o man_n be_v yet_o you_o may_v know_v it_o be_v not_o of_o a_o gross_a substance_n as_o man_n be_v but_o
