it_o be_v that_o balaam_n here_o speak_v of_o there_o be_v therefore_o a_o twofold_a sight_n as_o with_o man_n so_o with_o god_n to_o speak_v of_o he_o as_o humane_a capacity_n be_v able_a to_o conceive_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n and_o to_o utter_v they_o in_o such_o language_n as_o our_o infirmity_n will_v afford_v there_o be_v first_o a_o vision_n or_o sight_n of_o simple_a contemplation_n or_o consideration_n whereby_o god_n view_v and_o take_v notice_n of_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n and_o among_o the_o rest_n of_o all_o man_n and_o of_o all_o man_n action_n good_a and_o bad_a for_o though_o god_n dwell_v on_o high_a yet_o he_o stoop_v so_o low_a as_o to_o behold_v and_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o be_v and_o be_v do_v not_o in_o heaven_n only_o but_o on_o earth_n also_o he_o behold_v the_o end_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o see_v all_o that_o be_v under_o any_o part_n of_o heaven_n and_o there_o be_v a_o eye_n of_o god_n in_o every_o place_n behold_v both_o the_o good_a and_o the_o bad_a for_o the_o lord_n look_v down_o from_o heaven_n and_o behold_v all_o the_o son_n of_o man_n from_o his_o dwell_a place_n he_o view_v all_o that_o dwell_v on_o the_o earth_n and_o as_o he_o frame_v alike_o the_o soul_n of_o each_o of_o they_o as_o well_o of_o one_o as_o of_o another_o so_o he_o consider_v all_o their_o work_n his_o eye_n be_v upon_o all_o the_o way_n of_o man_n and_o he_o view_v all_o their_o go_n he_o see_v every_o step_n they_o take_v and_o there_o be_v no_o darkness_n nor_o deadly_a shade_n wherein_o wrong-doer_n can_v be_v shelter_v and_o conceal_v from_o his_o sight_n of_o such_o a_o sight_n therefore_o the_o word_n of_o see_v and_o behold_v here_o can_v be_v understand_v for_o thus_o he_o see_v wickedness_n or_o
