this_o show_v mercy_n to_o enemy_n pity_v to_o rebel_n compassion_n to_o bloody_a traitor_n wherefore_o as_o all_o come_v to_o unite_n unto_o the_o power_n of_o mercy_n to_o be_v lead_v into_o the_o

to_o know_v that_o it_o have_v a_o creator_n and_o maker_n and_o by_o who_o power_n that_o make_v it_o can_v only_o be_v keep_v and_o preserve_v in_o the_o similitude_n of_o he_o that_o create_v it_o for_o be_v put_v into_o a_o body_n of_o flesh_n he_o give_v it_o a_o sense_n of_o feel_v there_o as_o likewise_o in_o it_o a_o sense_n of_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o creation_n as_o beast_n fish_n

from_o the_o power_n that_o create_v he_o a_o live_a soul_n into_o the_o flesh_n for_o knowledge_n or_o pleasure_n for_o thereby_o he_o shall_v adulterate_v his_o soul_n with_o the_o flesh_n and_o so_o both_o the_o soul_n and_o the_o flesh_n become_v a_o corruption_n and_o curse_n of_o death_n and_o in_o so_o do_v he_o shall_v go_v from_o the_o likeness_n of_o his_o creator_n who_o can_v go_v out_o of_o himself_o into_o any_o creature_n for_o knowledge_n or_o pleasure_n but_o man_n soul_n enter_v into_o consultation_n with_o a_o aspire_a concupiscence_n in_o the_o feel_n of_o his_o own_o

the_o first_o devil_n whereby_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v that_o the_o eternal_a wisdom_n never_o derogate_a from_o his_o glory_n of_o holiness_n in_o the_o creation_n so_o as_o that_o any_o man_n may_v say_v he_o create_v a_o devil_n immediate_o in_o his_o hand_n which_o can_v never_o be_v as_o i_o have_v former_o show_v more_o large_o by_o his_o eternal_a holiness_n immutablity_n and_o

and_o joy_n but_o he_o let_v forth_o his_o mind_n out_o of_o the_o immutable_a power_n of_o wisdom_n and_o preservation_n become_v as_o aforesaid_a a_o evildoer_n and_o then_o his_o thought_n be_v not_o like_a unto_o the_o thought_n of_o his_o maker_n nor_o his_o knowledge_n nor_o nature_n like_v unto_o that_o in_o which_o he_o be_v create_v but_o all_o his_o faculty_n alienate_v degenerate_v and_o separate_v in_o the_o adulteration_n from_o the_o likeness_n life_n and_o immutable_a power_n and_o wisdom_n of_o his_o creator_n so_o that_o be_v the_o first_o actual_a evil_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o birth_n of_o the_o first_o devil_n see_v the_o devil_n be_v that_o mind_n that_o do_v evil_a in_o every_o man_n and_o therefore_o nothing_o can_v be_v call_v a_o evildoer_n until_o a_o evil_n be_v first_o do_v and_o commit_v which_o i_o speak_v to_o the_o end_n of_o stop_v and_o put_v a_o end_n to_o all_o blasphemous_a supposition_n and_o imagination_n and_o of_o sanctify_v the_o

then_o as_o follow_v in_o answer_n man_n adulteration_n from_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o life_n of_o his_o maker_n alienate_v the_o faculty_n of_o his_o soul_n and_o bring_v upon_o it_o horrid_a
