the_o commentator_n give_v but_o little_a account_n pass_v it_o in_o general_a only_o as_o a_o water_n of_o purification_n whereas_o there_o be_v two_o sort_n of_o water_n of_o purification_n viz._n that_o which_o be_v mention_v for_o purify_n metal_n and_o this_o other_o for_o purify_n man_n and_o woman_n which_o in_o numb_a 29._o unto_o verse_n 11._o be_v plain_o set_v down_o how_o in_o what_o manner_n and_o with_o what_o ingredient_n it_o be_v compose_v viz._n that_o a_o young_a red_a heifer_n without_o spot_n and_o without_o blemish_n and_o which_o be_v never_o put_v into_o a_o yoke_n be_v to_o be_v bring_v to_o the_o priest_n and_o one_o be_v to_o slay_v she_o before_o his_o face_n and_o the_o priest_n be_v to_o take_v some_o of_o her_o blood_n with_o his_o finger_n and_o sprinkle_v it_o seven_o time_n before_o the_o tabernacle_n of_o the_o congregation_n and_o then_o the_o heifer_n with_o her_o skin_n flesh_n blood_n and_o her_o dung_n be_v to_o be_v burn_v in_o his_o sight_n and_o whilst_o it_o be_v burn_v he_o be_v to_o cast_v into_o the_o midst_n of_o its_o fire_n cedar-wood_n hyssop_n and_o scarlet_a and_o after_o that_o both_o the_o priest_n and_o he_o that_o burn_v the_o heifer_n wash_v their_o clothes_n with_o water_n and_o bathe_v their_o flesh_n also_o in_o water_n and_o yet_o they_o remain_v unclean_a until_o the_o even_o by_o which_o time_n it_o may_v be_v suppose_v that_o all_o be_v dry_v in_o the_o mean_a time_n one_o that_o be_v clean_o be_v to_o gather_v up_o the_o ash_n of_o the_o heifer_n and_o lay_v they_o up_o clean_o without_o the_o camp_n and_o he_o also_o for_o this_o act_n be_v to_o be_v account_v unclean_a until_o the_o even_o and_o these_o ash_n be_v keep_v as_o lees_n to_o put_v into_o water_n which_o be_v call_v the_o

call_v the_o water_n of_o purification_n for_o sin_n ver_fw-la 9_o so_o as_o we_o see_v clear_o this_o water_n of_o purification_n of_o man_n be_v a_o distinct_a water_n from_o the_o water_n of_o purification_n and_o separation_n of_o metal_n and_o the_o ingredient_n of_o one_o be_v communicate_v to_o we_o but_o the_o holy_a spirit_n think_v fit_a to_o conceal_v the_o other_o from_o we_o however_o this_o science_n of_o purify_n metal_n do_v daily_o improve_v which_o historian_n and_o philosopher_n show_v we_o before_o david_n and_o solomon_n time_n which_o two_o king_n be_v

that_o day_n in_o paradise_n there_o have_v be_v more_o search_n after_o the_o place_n of_o paradise_n than_o before_o not_o for_o the_o pleasure_n in_o that_o place_n but_o for_o its_o
