itself_o viz_o chief_o in_o four_o form_n as_o in_o fire_n air_n water_n and_o earth_n or_o flesh_n 11._o and_o though_o clear_o it_o thus_o stand_v therein_o yet_o it_o be_v in_o this_o no_o more_o than_o a_o beastial_a life_n for_o its_o reason_n come_v to_o it_o from_o the_o const●llations_n and_o find_v that_o the_o sun_n and_o the_o constellation_n make_v a_o tincture_n in_o the_o four_o

be_v in_o a_o strange_a lodging_n for_o our_o house_n that_o the_o same_o mystery_n stand_v not_o in_o the_o spirit_n of_o this_o world_n for_o that_o apprehend_v it_o not_o also_o find_v it_o not_o whereby_o then_o we_o know_v the_o heavy_a fall_n of_o adam_n 17._o for_o we_o find_v that_o mystery_n in_o the_o willing_a of_o the_o mind_n first_o that_o it_o be_v a_o secret_a fountain_n spring_n which_o openth_n itself_o in_o another_o principle_n 18._o second_o we_o understand_v also_o that_o that_o mystery_n stand_v hide_v in_o the_o fire_n in_o the_o anguish_n source_n or_o quality_n and_o open_v itself_o through_o the_o anguish_n of_o the_o willing_a 19_o and_o then_o three_o we_o find_v how_o that_o same_o mystery_n be_v hold_v captive_a by_o the_o spirit_n of_o this_o world_n 20._o and_o as_o the_o outward_a life_n reason_n have_v may_v or_o ability_n to_o enter_v thereinto_o and_o to_o destroy_v it_o so_o that_o that_o mystery_n come_v not_o to_o the_o light_n in_o that_o it_o cover_v the_o same_o so_o that_o the_o genetrix_fw-la can_v generate_v and_o so_o note_n abide_v as_o a_o mystery_n hide_v 21._o and_o so_o then_o when_o the_o body_n break_v than_o the_o willing_a have_v nothing_o more_o which_o can_v open_v the_o mystery_n and_o thereupon_o the_o fire_n or_o soul_n spirit_n abide_v in_o the_o darkness_n and_o the_o mystery_n stand_v eternal_o hide_v in_o it_o as_o in_o another_o principle_n 22._o thus_o we_o know_v that_o mystery_n to_o be_v note_n god_n kingdom_n which_o stand_v hide_v in_o the_o soul_n which_o give_v a_o long_a pleasure_n and_o desire_n so_o that_o it_o imagine_v in_o that_o mystery_n 23._o where_o then_o it_o become_v impregnate_v magical_o in_o that_o mystery_n out_o of_o which_o the_o willing_a exi_v to_o it_o to_o go_v forth_o out_o of_o the_o fire-life_n into_o the_o mystery_n of_o god_n 24._o and_o so_o now_o if_o it_o lift_v up_o the_o willing_a and_o cast_v it_o from_o it_o into_o the_o mystery_n than_o the_o willing_a become_v impregnate_v in_o the_o mystery_n 25._o for_o it_o be_v longing_n and_o attain_v or_o come_v to_o be_v the_o body_n of_o the_o mystery_n viz_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o mystery_n which_o be_v god_n substance_n which_o be_v note_n incomprehensible_a to_o nature_n thus_o the_o willing_a draw_v god_n similitude_n or_o image_n on_o to_o itself_o 26._o so_o now_o when_o the_o willing_a be_v generate_v out_o of_o the_o soul_n fire_n than_o it_o stand_v indeed_o also_o with_o its_o root_n in_o the_o soul_n and_o so_o between_o the_o willing_a and_o the_o soul_n there_o be_v no_o

be_v the_o right_n earnest_a faith_n a_o child_n of_o god_n and_o dwell_v in_o another_o world_n 28._o this_o now_o be_v not_o so_o to_o be_v understand_v like_o a_o historical_a willing_a whereby_o

can_v go_v out_o from_o the_o soul_n and_o enter_v into_o the_o life_n or_o mystery_n of_o god_n but_o make_v opinion_n and_o set_v the_o willing_a inthe_n conjecture_n 29._o wherein_o then_o it_o
