he_o to_o who_o he_o pray_v be_v that_o only_o true_a god_n and_o that_o to_o know_v he_o and_o christ_n jesus_n who_o he_o have_v send_v be_v life_n eternal_a then_o be_v it_o not_o elias_n to_o who_o he_o pray_v because_o all_o grant_n that_o he_o be_v not_o the_o only_a true_a god_n nor_o do_v he_o so_o love_v the_o world_n as_o to_o send_v his_o only_a beget_v into_o the_o world_n that_o through_o believe_v in_o he_o it_o may_v obtain_v eternal_a life_n this_o most_o plain_o knock_v down_o all_o conceit_n of_o a_o depute_a god_n that_o christ_n shall_v pray_v unto_o because_o suppose_v that_o such_o a_o thing_n can_v be_v yet_o he_o can_v not_o be_v that_o only_o true_a

so_o span_a the_o heaven_n with_o a_o great_a hand_n and_o rid_v with_o a_o mighty_a body_n upon_o the_o circle_n of_o the_o earth_n which_o how_o ridiculous_a and_o false_a soever_o it_o be_v be_v as_o true_a as_o reeve_n or_o muggleton_n conceit_n thus_o far_o indeed_o they_o will_v be_v in_o the_o right_n by_o such_o a_o consequence_n that_o almighty_a god_n will_v have_v a_o body_n but_o they_o will_v gross_o lie_v in_o the_o dimension_n of_o it_o who_o say_v it_o be_v no_o big_a than_o a_o middle_n statured_a man_n thus_o much_o if_o not_o too_o much_o upon_o this_o piece_n of_o

all_o thing_n or_o to_o administer_v strength_n and_o comfort_n to_o his_o scatter_a flock_n throughout_o the_o world_n second_o if_o they_o will_v say_v he_o be_v present_a by_o his_o spirit_n as_o read_v reeve_n epistle_n to_o his_o divine_a looking-glass_n i_o affirm_v against_o all_o muggletonian_o upon_o earth_n that_o then_o not_o that_o body_n but_o that_o omnipresent_v spirit_n be_v the_o true_o in_o infinite_a god_n three_o but_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v how_o god_n and_o his_o spirit_n can_v be_v divide_v or_o separate_v can_v any_o man_n be_v true_o such_o who_o spirit_n be_v absent_a from_o he_o what_o body_n be_v a_o live_a body_n without_o a_o spirit_n any_o more_o than_o faith_n can_v be_v live_v without_o work_n how_o then_o can_v god_n body_n no_o big_a than_o a_o
