by_o a_o man_n we_o do_v not_o say_v it_o be_v his_o son_n but_o his_o work_n because_o his_o son_n be_v the_o live_a image_n and_o similitude_n of_o himself_o which_o can_v be_v say_v of_o a_o

be_v the_o live_a image_n of_o himself_o and_o be_v great_a and_o more_o excellent_a than_o all_o creature_n now_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o son_n himself_o must_v be_v immediate_o present_a in_o

whereby_o they_o be_v extendible_a into_o great_a substance_n beyond_o what_o the_o substance_n itself_o can_v make_v and_o so_o we_o may_v distinguish_v extension_n into_o material_a and_o virtual_a
