to_o be_v now_o live_v do_v eat_v his_o flesh_n and_o so_o christ_n dwell_v in_o his_o heart_n by_o faith_n and_o not_o in_o his_o person_n and_o essence_n as_o the_o quaker_n do_v vain_o imagine_v

another_o as_o the_o body_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v one_o thing_n and_o the_o light_n that_o shine_v from_o it_o be_v another_o and_o so_o according_a to_o the_o flesh_n that_o be_v according_a to_o the_o seed_n of_o reason_n the_o quaker_n be_v bone_n of_o his_o bone_n and_o flesh_n of_o his_o flesh_n and_o they_o be_v the_o child_n of_o abraham_n according_a to_o the_o flesh_n as_o their_o
