claudo_fw-la because_o it_o be_v keep_v secret_a sacr●d_a and_o shut_v up_o because_o in_o all_o mystery_n it_o be_v necessary_a to_o keep_v close_o the_o mind_n and_o not_o to_o show_v the_o thing_n

not_o in_o the_o letter_n who_o praise_n be_v not_o of_o man_n but_o of_o god_n so_o say_v i_o of_o save_a knowledge_n he_o that_o see_v the_o mystery_n of_o the_o scripture_n he_o have_v the_o true_a knowledge_n of_o the_o scripture_n he_o be_v not_o teach_v of_o god_n that_o know_v only_o the_o letter_n and_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o true_a understanding_n be_v that_o of_o the_o

inside_n of_o the_o scripture_n all_o other_o knowledge_n be_v vain_a and_o make_v a_o man_n not_o one_o hair_n breadth_n the_o better_a before_o god_n therefore_o we_o may_v observe_v also_o what_o minister_n the_o apostle_n prefer_v not_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o letter_n but_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n as_o in_o that_o of_o 2._o cor._n 3._o 6._o 6._o able_a minister_n

the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o mystery_n and_o marrow_n that_o give_v life_n but_o you_o will_v say_v to_o i_o obj._n how_o do_v the_o letter_n kill_v i_o answer_v answ._n by_o rest_v therein_o and_o not_o seek_v for_o the_o marrow_n the_o food_n and_o the_o life_n but_o content_v ourselves_o with_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o history_n and_o outside_n but_o because_o i_o have_v at_o other_o
