strive_a and_o contention_n of_o the_o soul_n which_o labour_v as_o much_o as_o she_o can_v to_o repair_v that_o weak_a mortality_n of_o the_o body_n by_o the_o participation_n of_o eternal_a thing_n

and_o there_o have_v be_v infinite_a in_o all_o age_n which_o have_v in_o a_o manner_n sacrifice_v themselves_o upon_o the_o altar_n of_o glory_n do_v in_o so_o despise_v death_n give_v a_o

the_o soul_n of_o man_n they_o confess_v god_n alone_o create_v she_o and_o therefore_o depend_v without_o a_o mean_a from_o the_o perfect_a be_v she_o be_v partaker_n of_o his_o perfection_n and_o be_v free_a from_o corruption_n in_o her_o substance_n and_o consequent_o from_o death_n and_o certain_o it_o be_v very_o reasonable_a and_o convenient_a for_o that_o great_a architect_n that_o after_o he_o have_v build_v this_o fair_a piece_n of_o work_n of_o the_o world_n worthy_a to_o bear_v the_o the_o name_n of_o beauty_n see_v he_o withdraw_v himself_o from_o the_o sight_n of_o his_o

of_o the_o subject_n it_o imitate_v wherein_o can_v she_o imitate_v the_o eternity_n of_o god_n but_o in_o the_o immortality_n of_o her_o soul_n see_v she_o can_v be_v altogether_o like_a that_o be_v
