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

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
