after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n shall_v in_o no_o further_a or_o more_o real_a and_o proper_a sense_n be_v speak_v of_o christ_n and_o his_o humane_a nature_n now_o assume_v &_o when_o he_o be_v a_o

which_o it_o may_v now_o be_v say_v for_o the_o comfort_n and_o relief_n of_o our_o faith_n that_o god_n be_v true_o and_o real_o merciful_a as_o a_o man_n and_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o contribute_v this_o to_o the_o clear_n of_o the_o thing_n in_o hand_n that_o whereas_o god_n of_o himself_o be_v so_o bless_v and_o perfect_a that_o his_o blessedness_n can_v not_o have_v be_v touch_v with_o the_o least_o feeling_n of_o our_o infirmity_n neither_o be_v he_o in_o himself_o capable_a of_o any_o such_o affection_n of_o pity_n or_o compassion_n he_o be_v not_o as_o a_o man_n that_o

become_v love_v and_o merciful_a unto_o man_n as_o one_o man_n be_v to_o another_o and_o so_o that_o what_o before_o be_v but_o improper_o speak_v and_o by_o way_n of_o metaphor_n and_o similitude_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n so_o to_o convey_v it_o to_o our_o apprehension_n may_v now_o be_v true_o attribute_v unto_o he_o in_o the_o reality_n that_o god_n may_v be_v for_o ever_o say_v to_o be_v

we_o than_o those_o former_a affection_n do_v for_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o as_o his_o knowledge_n be_v enlarge_v upon_o his_o enter_v into_o glory_n so_o his_o humane_a affection_n of_o love_n &_o

when_o they_o receive_v this_o fullness_n we_o may_v warrantable_o say_v christ_n shall_v be_v more_o glad_a then_o and_o be_v now_o as_o his_o child_n be_v grow_v up_o from_o under_o their_o

to_o be_v imperfect_a till_o these_o body_n be_v reunite_v and_o glorify_v with_o they_o which_o will_v add_v a_o further_a fullness_n to_o they_o thus_o in_o some_o analogy_n it_o stand_v between_o
