the_o word_n touch_n in_o the_o original_n do_v not_o signify_v mere_o to_o touch_v but_o clasp_v associate_n join_v and_o solder_v with_o a_o thing_n the_o scripture_n speak_v of_o the_o evil_a man_n you_o shall_v not_o touch_v he_o that_o be_v not_o make_v he_o one_o with_o he_o the_o devil_n shall_v not_o take_v he_o from_o christ_n and_o make_v he_o one_o with_o himself_o it_o be_v a_o strange_a word_n in_o the_o original_n thou_o claspe_v about_o i_o thou_o do_v more_o than_o touch_v i_o thou_o clinge_a to_o i_o and_o will_v not_o leave_v i_o as_o if_o i_o will_v go_v present_o

all_o i_o have_v not_o manifest_v myself_o to_o my_o disciple_n in_o full_a when_o i_o be_o ascend_v all_o be_v do_v and_o then_o there_o be_v place_n for_o touch_v and_o that_o i_o take_v be_v mean_v here_o i_o be_o not_o yet_o ascend_v to_o the_o father_n thou_o think_v i_o have_v do_v all_o be_v to_o be_v do_v but_o thou_o be_v deceive_v i_o must_v ascend_v to_o the_o father_n and_o when_o i_o be_o there_o i_o expect_v to_o be_v touch_v after_o another_o manner_n after_o a_o gracious_a spiritual_a manner_n which_o tetigisti_fw-la be_v by_o faith_n as_o augustine_n say_v well_o send_v up_o

for_o a_o life_n of_o sense_n but_o be_v to_o expect_v the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o heaven_n to_o be_v fill_v with_o that_o and_o then_o to_o be_v fill_v with_o faith_n and_o love_n and_o then_o to_o

that_o christ_n shall_v say_v go_v and_o be_v reconcile_v to_o thy_o brethren_n and_o then_o
present_o 4._o but_o to_o go_v on_o you_o see_v here_o again_o that_o christ_n must_v begin_v to_o we_o before_o work_n we_o can_v answer_v he_o he_o begin_v to_o mary_n and_o then_o she_o say_v rabbony_n all_o the_o passage_n of_o salvation_n be_v do_v by_o way_n of_o covenant_n by_o way_n of_o commerce_n and_o intercourse_n between_o god_n and_o man_n but_o god_n begin_v first_o in_o

christ_n and_o god_n purpose_n of_o save_a man_n that_o way_n but_o he_o give_v faith_n first_o for_o faith_n be_v the_o gift_n of_o god_n we_o glorify_v he_o here_o on_o earth_n but_o it_o be_v from_o a_o result_n of_o god_n glorify_v we_o in_o heaven_n some_o earnest_n we_o have_v but_o they_o be_v of_o god_n give_v all_o we_o do_v be_v but_o reflection_n of_o his_o love_n first_o or_o

and_o therefore_o let_v we_o regard_v all_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o all_o the_o speech_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n for_o he_o begin_v by_o little_a and_o little_a else_o our_o
