the_o true_a reason_n of_o man_n that_o be_v form_v by_o the_o same_o original_a and_o they_o can_v but_o all_o answer_n to_o each_o other_o if_o these_o three_o agree_v and_o be_v unite_v and_o

scriptural_a or_o according_a to_o the_o write_a word_n and_o it_o be_v as_o true_a on_o the_o contrary_a that_o what_o pretend_v to_o be_v spiritual_a and_o be_v not_o also_o rational_a be_v not_o of_o the_o man_n christ_n but_o be_v a_o spiritual_a beast_n and_o what_o seem_v rational_a and_o be_v not_o also_o spiritual_a that_o do_v not_o derive_v itself_o from_o the_o heavenly_a man_n it_o be_v earthly_a and_o sensual_a at_o least_o and_o what_o man_n have_v from_o the_o scripture_n only_o and_o not_o from_o the_o heavenly_a pattern_n must_v needs_o be_v a_o break_a reed_n not_o fit_a to_o measure_v any_o thing_n for_o the_o heavenly_a mind_n which_o give_v forth_o the_o scripture_n can_v only_o interpret_v they_o and_o what_o be_v spiritual_a and_o scriptural_a will_v be_v also_o
