to_o start_v in_o its_o thought_n about_o they_o chap._n iii_o the_o next_o to_o this_o be_v the_o room_n that_o the_o world_n take_v up_o which_o body-haunter_n of_o roomthiness_n that_o we_o may_v

to_o god_n everbeingness_a so_o the_o bulk_n of_o the_o world_n from_o least_o to_o great_a will_n i_o think_v fall_v out_o to_o be_v but_o a_o cleauless_a thing_n to_o his_o allfillingness_a for_o

for_o it_o be_v as_o impossible_a that_o god_n shall_v be_v in_o room_n which_o be_v one_o of_o the_o hanger_n on_o to_o body_n as_o that_o he_o shall_v be_v in_o time_n which_o be_v another_o when_o therefore_o we_o say_v that_o god_n be_v every_o where_o it_o must_v have_v the_o same_o respect_n to_o place_n that_o his_o be_v past_a at_o hand_n and_o to_o come_v have_v to_o time_n as_o then_o
