bear_v i_o record_v for_o certain_a it_o be_v true_a both_o of_o this_o particular_a scripture_n and_o so_o of_o the_o rest_n i_o say_v caleb_n do_v say_v so_o and_o kiriathsepher_n be_v take_v by_o othniel_n and_o he_o do_v marry_v achsah_n these_o thing_n be_v real_o and_o literal_o and_o external_o act_v and_o so_o the_o history_n of_o abraham_n and_o all_o the_o rest_n but_o i_o can_v stand_v now_o to_o instance_n as_o i_o will_v though_o i_o can_v show_v you_o clear_o how_o the_o mystery_n be_v hide_v and_o couch_v and_o interweave_v in_o the_o letter_n but_o to_o touch_v upon_o the_o history_n of_o abraham_n he_o have_v two_o son_n the_o one_o the_o son_n of_o the_o bondwoman_n the_o other_o the_o son_n of_o the_o free_a woman_n and_o there_o be_v a_o mount_n sinai_n and_o a_o mount_n zion_n as_o the_o apostle_n paul_n allude_v to_o it_o and_o show_v we_o thy_o mystery_n of_o those_o thing_n and_o tell_v we_o plain_o those_o thing_n be_v a_o allegory_n gal._n 4._o 24._o etc._n which_o thing_n be_v a_o allegory_n say_v he_o for_o these_o be_v the_o two_o covenant_n the_o one_o from_o mount_n sinai_n which_o gender_v to_o bondage_n which_o be_v hagar_n and_o answer_v to_o jerusalem_n which_o now_o be_v and_o be_v in_o bondage_n with_o her_o child_n but_o jerusalem_n which_o be_v above_o be_v free_a which_o be_v the_o mother_n of_o we_o all_o and_o as_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o flesh_n persecute_v he_o that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o spirit_n even_o so_o it_o be_v now_o and_o so_o he_o go_v on_o show_v what_o the_o holy_a ghost_n point_v out_o in_o that_o history_n because_o he_o will_v not_o have_v they_o rest_v in_o the_o letter_n but_o search_v for_o the_o spirit_n the_o life_n and_o the_o mystery_n so_o neither_o do_v i_o deny_v nor_o diminish_v the_o least_o title_n from_o the_o letter_n but_o the_o apostle_n and_o so_o i_o will_v bring_v the_o history_n home_o to_o ourselves_o to_o our_o own_o particular_n for_o what_o be_v these_o history_n to_o we_o what_o good_a be_v it_o to_o we_o that_o there_o be_v amount_v sinai_n and_o a_o mount_n zion_n and_o that_o abraham_n have_v two_o son_n the_o one_o by_o the_o bondwoman_n the_o other_o by_o the_o freewoman_n but_o he_o will_v show_v and_o teach_v we_o that_o the_o son_n of_o the_o bondwoman_n in_o we_o which_o be_v the_o son_n of_o fear_n shall_v be_v cast_v out_o and_o the_o son_n of_o the_o freewoman_n that_o be_v the_o son_n of_o love_n shall_v inherit_v so_o always_o reserve_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o letter_n yet_o not_o lose_v the_o sense_n and_o the_o meaning_n but_o if_o we_o rest_v and_o dwell_v on_o the_o letter_n or_o on_o the_o history_n and_o so_o only_o take_v it_o as_o a_o history_n 63._o and_o not_o see_v our_o own_o self_n in_o it_o and_o by_o it_o then_o that_o history_n that_o letter_n kill_v but_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n only_o that_o give_v life_n viz._n the_o mind_n and_o the_o meaning_n for_o there_o be_v no_o scripture_n but_o be_v as_o a_o glass_n to_o behold_v our_o own_o face_n our_o own_o heart_n so_o he_o that_o shall_v read_v the_o second_o and_o three_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n where_o we_o read_v of_o the_o

and_o by_o which_o the_o serpent_n be_v every_o day_n whisper_v treason_n and_o suggest_v treachery_n into_o the_o soul_n against_o god_n the_o low_a part_n of_o the_o soul_n first_o harken_v and_o
