eternity_n in_o the_o presence_n of_o his_o eternal_a spiritual_a person_n i_o declare_v from_o the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o god_n the_o creator_n have_v make_v that_o creation_n in_o the_o heaven_n

only_a wise_a god_n and_o eternal_a father_n the_o lord_n jesus_n be_v as_o visible_o see_v of_o the_o creature_n where_o his_o person_n be_v resident_a as_o a_o man_n be_v visible_o see_v of_o the_o

wisdom_n or_o understanding_n may_v give_v he_o the_o glory_n of_o their_o eternal_a happiness_n of_o this_o their_o creation_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a if_o the_o creator_n be_v not_o visible_o

the_o heaven_n above_o as_o the_o person_n of_o man_n who_o be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n be_v visible_o see_v of_o the_o creature_n in_o this_o earth_n beneath_o again_o you_o must_v not_o think_v after_o a_o fleshly_a manner_n that_o the_o creature_n above_o the_o star_n be_v male_a and_o female_a for_o natural_a generation_n as_o they_o be_v in_o this_o creation_n beneath_o the_o star_n for_o

the_o reprobate_a angel_n which_o be_v the_o devil_n may_v have_v the_o womb_n of_o a_o woman_n to_o clothe_v himself_o with_o flesh_n also_o to_o bring_v forth_o god_n glorious_a design_n between_o

in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n in_o the_o creation_n beyond_o the_o star_n be_v all_o spiritual_a male_a creature_n never_o increase_a in_o their_o number_n not_o be_v fleshly_a desire_v

from_o the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o no_o man_n can_v understand_v or_o know_v any_o thing_n of_o these_o thing_n that_o be_v invisible_a unto_o our_o natural_a eye_n but_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o

for_o you_o know_v to_o frame_v a_o thing_n or_o to_o make_v a_o thing_n be_v all_o one_o again_o unto_o you_o it_o be_v clear_a there_o be_v spiritual_a visible_a thing_n in_o that_o world_n above_o or_o beyond_o the_o star_n as_o well_o as_o here_o be_v natural_a visible_a thing_n in_o this_o world_n beneath_o the_o star_n because_o you_o may_v understand_v that_o this_o world_n and_o the_o

above_o in_o glory_n so_o that_o now_o you_o that_o be_v appoint_v to_o enter_v with_o spiritual_a body_n into_o that_o glorious_a creation_n or_o world_n beyond_o the_o star_n may_v understand_v a_o

beneath_o the_o star_n with_o glorious_a new_a song_n of_o spiritual_a and_o heavenly_a praise_n unto_o a_o glorious_a god_n to_o all_o eternity_n this_o prove_v the_o truth_n of_o these_o scripture_n

that_o keep_v the_o holy_a angel_n nature_n or_o spirit_n pure_a in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n for_o it_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o that_o pure_a reason_n

in_o the_o holy_a angel_n continual_o to_o desire_v the_o knowledge_n of_o that_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n in_o the_o creator_n that_o make_v they_o and_o the_o overflowing_n of_o that_o new_a wisdom_n

that_o keep_v his_o spirit_n in_o obedience_n to_o his_o creator_n present_o his_o spirit_n begin_v proud_o to_o imagine_v and_o think_v high_a and_o lofty_a thought_n concern_v his_o own_o person_n

than_o the_o creator_n he_o be_v wise_a in_o his_o own_o conceit_n become_v a_o absolute_a fool_n for_o out_o of_o nothing_o come_v nothing_o and_o out_o of_o nothing_o come_v no_o form_n or_o
