serve_v the_o law_n of_o sin_n also_o the_o apostle_n john_n say_v 7._o let_v no_o man_n deceive_v you_o he_o that_o do_v righteousness_n be_v righteous_a and_o the_o apostle_n paul_n again_o say_v 14_o as_o many_o as_o be_v lead_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o 16_o his_o servant_n you_o be_v to_o who_o you_o obey_v whether_o of_o obedience_n unto_o

above_o we_o it_o have_v this_o understanding_n or_o meaning_n as_o follow_v 30._o the_o upper_a heaven_n comprise_v the_o two_o kingdom_n that_o of_o michael_n and_o that_o of_o uriel_n and_o of_o

be_v call_v god_n or_o heaven_n but_o perdition_n 32._o therefore_o the_o upper_a heaven_n include_v itself_o up_o so_o far_o in_o its_o outermost_a birth_n or_o geniture_n and_o reach_v so_o far_o as_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n reach_v and_o so_o far_o as_o the_o government_n or_o dominion_n of_o lucifer_n have_v reach_v for_o the_o corrupt_a or_o perish_a birth_n or_o geniture_n can_v

37._o therefore_o we_o can_v neither_o see_v nor_o comprehend_v the_o holy_a angel_n for_o the_o outermost_a birth_n of_o their_o body_n be_v incomprehensible_a to_o the_o outermost_a birth_n or_o

of_o this_o world_n and_o be_v in_o all_o place_n and_o in_o all_o the_o creature_n as_o also_o in_o man_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n also_o rule_v and_o reign_v in_o the_o second_o birth_n and_o help_v to_o generate_v the_o three_o holy_a birth_n or_o geniture_n 40._o but_o this_o three_o birth_n or_o geniture_n be_v the_o clear_a and_o holy_a heaven_n which_o qualifi_v or_o unit_v with_o
