that_o one_o single_a essence_n can_v perform_v many_o and_o various_a function_n as_o do_v the_o soul_n that_o be_v one_o unfold_v herself_o into_o variety_n of_o operation_n yet_o have_v the_o

with_o some_o principle_n of_o christianisme_n then_o to_o be_v draw_v from_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o the_o best_a be_v that_o the_o happiness_n of_o man_n be_v not_o the_o essence_n but_o the_o influence_n of_o the_o divinity_n and_o to_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n of_o more_o consequence_n then_o to_o read_v and_o understand_v all_o the_o curious_a and_o acute_a school-tract_n of_o the_o trinity_n for_o this_o may_v be_v permit_v to_o the_o devil_n that_o be_v the_o privilege_n only_o of_o the_o good_a and_o pious_a man_n nor_o be_v it_o any_o wonder_n at_o all_o for_o be_v it_o so_o that_o the_o contemplation_n of_o these_o thing_n be_v very_o sublime_a and_o subtle_a yet_o well_o i_o wot_v they_o be_v nothing_o satisfactory_a to_o the_o soul_n for_o the_o exile_n theory_n of_o the_o infinity_o of_o god_n and_o trinity_n be_v but_o as_o it_o be_v the_o dry_a measure_n and_o number_v of_o the_o deity_n and_o profit_n as_o much_o to_o the_o soul_n devoid_a of_o charity_n as_o the_o diametre_fw-la of_o the_o sun_n body_n or_o the_o remembrance_n of_o that_o trinall_a property_n in_o lux_fw-la lumen_fw-la
