yet_o their_o fleshpot_n run_v in_o their_o mind_n so_o though_o god_n offer_v himself_o and_o though_o the_o saint_n tell_v you_o they_o can_v find_v god_n in_o such_o and_o such_o form_n but_o find_v he_o abundant_o good_a in_o the_o spirit_n and_o they_o find_v that_o he_o recompense_v the_o want_n of_o all_o form_n in_o the_o spirit_n and_o press_v you_o to_o wait_v till_o god_n appear_v

and_o let_v they_o be_v sweet_a to_o other_o but_o when_o we_o do_v find_v god_n in_o a_o form_n and_o in_o a_o ordinance_n to_o say_v he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v find_v and_o enjoy_v any_o other_o

from_o the_o spiritual_a that_o so_o he_o alone_o may_v be_v exalt_v beside_o as_o civil_a form_n be_v not_o the_o substance_n but_o the_o outside_n only_o and_o appearanee_n of_o that_o equity_n
