do_v wonder_n how_o any_o man_n can_v make_v it_o to_o be_v capable_a of_o any_o torment_n when_o as_o it_o be_v well_o know_v it_o come_v immediate_o from_o god_n and_o be_v no_o other_o but_o of_o god_n and_o if_o i_o may_v say_v further_o without_o offence_n it_o be_v god_n for_o that_o which_o be_v of_o god_n be_v god_n because_o god_n can_v be_v divide_v all_o man_n grant_v it_o be_v immortal_a and_o come_v from_o god_n pure_a and_o undefiled_a and_o how_o then_o it_o shall_v be_v impure_a i_o know_v not_o for_o this_o i_o real_o see_v that_o though_o it_o be_v infuse_v into_o the_o body_n yet_o i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v not_o of_o the_o body_n nor_o can_v the_o flesh_n be_v capable_a of_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o we_o call_v union_n with_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o the_o body_n but_o be_v not_o of_o the_o body_n or_o the_o body_n but_o real_o distinct_a and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o flesh_n but_o not_o flesh_n and_o so_o it_o be_v god_n manifest_a in_o flesh_n but_o not_o in_o union_n or_o conjunction_n with_o flesh_n but_o have_v a_o distinct_a and_o formal_a difference_n both_o here_o and_o hereafter_o the_o one_o return_v to_o nothing_o the_o other_o live_v to_o all_o eternity_n and_o further_o how_o this_o soul_n as_o man_n speak_v of_o shall_v be_v impure_a and_o sinful_a i_o know_v not_o for_o how_o flesh_n shall_v defile_v a_o spirit_n i_o can_v imagine_v be_v that_o i_o be_o sure_a and_o as_o every_o man_n will_v grant_v that_o no_o effect_n can_v be_v produce_v beyond_o its_o cause_n but_o every_o effect_n have_v its_o rise_n and_o original_n from_o its_o proper_a cause_n and_o so_o have_v god_n lay_v in_o nature_n the_o body_n proper_a to_o the_o seed_n and_o to_o every_o seed_n it_o be_v own_o body_n and_o a_o man_n may_v as_o well_o gather_v grape_n of_o thorn_n and_o fig_n of_o thistle_n as_o to_o conceive_v it_o can_v be_v that_o a_o visible_a or_o fleshly_a substance_n can_v corrupt_v a_o spiritual_a and_o invisible_a substance_n but_o than_o you_o will_v say_v where_o be_v the_o sin_n all_o this_o while_n you_o will_v say_v then_o sin_n be_v nothing_o or_o that_o there_o be_v no_o sin_n to_o which_o i_o have_v partly_o answer_v in_o the_o forego_n subject_a speak_v of_o which_o because_o it_o be_v so_o fall_v in_o my_o way_n i_o shall_v speak_v a_o little_a further_o in_o answer_n to_o you_o first_o i_o shall_v grant_v and_o i_o think_v it_o be_v no_o less_o than_o blasphemy_n to_o affirm_v otherwise_o that_o god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o sin_n or_o that_o any_o sin_n can_v be_v in_o he_o he_o be_v light_n and_o in_o he_o be_v no_o darkness_n at_o all_o and_o so_o the_o soul_n be_v of_o he_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v pure_a and_o holy_a not_o admit_v any_o mixture_n of_o flesh_n or_o that_o which_o we_o call_v corrupt_v nature_n and_o yet_o again_o second_o i_o can_v conceive_v there_o shall_v be_v sin_n until_o god_n be_v please_v to_o let_v out_o himself_o in_o flesh_n but_o for_o before_o he_o live_v in_o himself_o and_o so_o there_o can_v be_v no_o sin_n there_o be_v nothing_o but_o god_n three_o inasmuch_o as_o this_o flesh_n be_v a_o veil_n or_o cover_n wherein_o this_o soul_n or_o divine_a be_v life_n this_o god_n soul_n or_o divine_a nature_n call_v it_o what_o you_o will_v the_o glory_n and_o beauty_n the_o purity_n and_o excellency_n thereof_o be_v darken_v and_o obscure_v there_o be_v the_o sin_n for_o whatever_o man_n conceive_v of_o thing_n this_o i_o real_o apprehend_v that_o that_o which_o we_o call_v the_o soul_n that_o be_v as_o man_n general_o make_v it_o the_o understanding_n reason_n judgement_n will_n and_o affection_n be_v not_o positive_o or_o actual_o infect_v with_o sin_n but_o only_o be_v obscure_v and_o can_v be_v so_o glorious_o manifest_v by_o reason_n of_o the_o flesh_n or_o fleshly_a be_v and_o so_o god_n take_v flesh_n upon_o he_o and_o through_o the_o veil_n that_o be_v the_o flesh_n do_v destroy_v and_o do_v condemn_v sin_n in_o the_o flesh_n so_o that_o whosoever_o pray_v or_o prophecy_n with_o a_o veil_n or_o cover_n upon_o his_o head_n christ_n which_o be_v god_n in_o the_o spirit_n such_o a_o one_o dishonour_v his_o head_n which_o be_v christ_n because_o he_o suffer_v something_o to_o come_v betwixt_o god_n and_o he_o so_o that_o by_o this_o time_n i_o suppose_v you_o see_v what_o i_o conceive_v of_o sin_n and_o where_o it_o lie_v and_o what_o i_o conceive_v of_o that_o we_o call_v soul_n and_o of_o the_o body_n or_o fleshly_a part_n of_o man_n wherein_o i_o have_v be_v force_v to_o make_v a_o little_a digression_n because_o thing_n be_v mysterious_a and_o to_o come_v to_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n concern_v a_o hell_n hereafter_o what_o it_o shall_v be_v or_o what_o shall_v be_v torment_v in_o it_o i_o do_v not_o as_o yet_o apprehend_v for_o the_o soul_n come_v pure_a and_o be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o god_n can_v not_o be_v corrupt_v and_o the_o body_n not_o capable_a of_o any_o impression_n of_o god_n and_o return_n to_o its_o first_o principle_n of_o earth_n so_o that_o unless_o you_o will_v imagine_v a_o hell_n in_o god_n which_o you_o will_v account_v blasphemy_n to_o speak_v i_o can_v fancy_v or_o imagine_v any_o such_o hell_n hereafter_o as_o man_n dream_v off_o the_o truth_n be_v there_o be_v nothing_o live_v to_o all_o eternity_n but_o god_n every_o thing_n below_o god_n perish_v and_o come_v to_o nothing_o and_o as_o all_o thing_n have_v their_o subsistence_n and_o be_v in_o god_n before_o they_o be_v ever_o manifest_v in_o the_o world_n or_o creature_n so_o in_o the_o end_n whatsoever_o be_v of_o god_n or_o god_n in_o the_o world_n at_o the_o end_n of_o it_o they_o shall_v all_o be_v rapt_v up_o into_o god_n again_o and_o so_o as_o god_n from_o all_o eternity_n live_v in_o himself_o and_o all_o thing_n in_o he_o so_o when_o he_o shall_v cease_v to_o live_v in_o flesh_n and_o creature_n he_o will_v then_o live_v in_o himself_o unto_o all_o eternity_n and_o will_v glorious_o triumph_v over_o sin_n hell_n and_o death_n and_o all_o creature_n shall_v give_v up_o their_o power_n and_o glory_n unto_o god_n back_o again_o from_o whence_o it_o original_o come_v and_o so_o god_n shall_v be_v all._n however_o if_o any_o man_n can_v imagine_v that_o there_o will_v be_v any_o dark_a appearance_n of_o god_n hereafter_o or_o unto_o all_o eternity_n then_o may_v he_o conclude_v a_o hell_n for_o as_o sin_n be_v the_o dark_a appearance_n of_o god_n so_o be_v hell_n a_o inseparable_a companion_n of_o it_o but_o to_o imagine_v the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o hereafter_o or_o to_o all_o eternity_n will_v render_v i_o in_o my_o own_o apprehension_n one_o of_o those_o who_o property_n it_o be_v to_o believe_v every_o thing_n but_o i_o know_v who_o i_o have_v believe_v thus_o have_v i_o do_v with_o that_o part_n of_o my_o discourse_n which_o i_o call_v the_o dark_a side_n of_o god_n which_o i_o divide_v into_o three_o part_n which_o we_o call_v devil_n sin_n and_o hell_n in_o all_o which_o i_o have_v endeavour_v to_o clear_a god_n and_o to_o make_v the_o devil_n and_o sin_n as_o vile_a as_o i_o can_v but_o be_o far_o short_a of_o the_o one_o or_o the_o other_o want_v word_n to_o express_v myself_o in_o either_o only_o what_o be_v upon_o my_o spirit_n thou_o have_v in_o the_o letter_n concern_v the_o resurrection_n now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o deliver_v ourselves_o about_o that_o which_o we_o call_v resurrection_n and_o to_o express_v it_o as_o it_o be_v in_o i_o i_o see_v it_o also_o to_o be_v spiritual_a and_o inward_a and_o be_v also_o of_o that_o which_o be_v the_o inward_a man_n for_o though_o i_o know_v the_o inward_a man_n which_o be_v god_n or_o the_o divine_a be_v admit_v of_o no_o degree_n either_o be_v more_o or_o less_o but_o yet_o in_o as_o much_o as_o this_o god_n be_v more_o glorious_o manifest_v at_o one_o time_n more_o than_o another_o in_o man_n hence_o it_o be_v that_o we_o give_v this_o title_n of_o resurrection_n of_o the_o creature_n after_o this_o life_n be_v end_v but_o true_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o full_o satisfy_v in_o my_o own_o spirit_n with_o those_o word_n of_o christ_n where_o he_o say_v i_o be_o the_o resurrection_n and_o the_o life_n and_o i_o see_v it_o full_o make_v out_o in_o i_o that_o christ_n spiritual_o be_v that_o resurrection_n which_o i_o think_v shall_v be_v of_o the_o creature_n and_o i_o can_v tell_v what_o in_o the_o creature_n shall_v rise_v or_o be_v capable_a of_o such_o glory_n and_o happiness_n beside_o god_n and_o so_o i_o see_v that_o which_o i_o do_v expect_v to_o enjoy_v hereafter_o only_o

faith_n come_v by_o hear_v and_o hear_v by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v not_o the_o scripture_n and_o outward_a letter_n a_o mean_n to_o convey_v the_o knowledge_n of_o god_n and_o mean_n to_o she_o faith_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a but_o what_o living_n be_v it_o to_o which_o hear_v be_v annex_v if_o a_o outward_a and_o carnal_a live_n and_o know_v of_o god_n than_o the_o outward_a scripture_n contribute_v to_o it_o but_o if_o it_o be_v a_o spiritual_a live_n which_o be_v a_o live_n in_o god_n than_o that_o life_n must_v be_v enjoy_v by_o a_o spiritual_a hear_n for_o all_o the_o outward_a hear_n in_o the_o world_n can_v reach_v to_o that_o so_o that_o to_o i_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o then_o man_n spiritual_o live_v when_o god_n spiritual_o speak_v and_o so_o this_o spiritual_a life_n be_v attain_v by_o a_o spiritual_a speak_n of_o god_n and_o when_o man_n hear_v that_o spiritual_a speak_n than_o their_o soul_n live_v spiritual_o in_o that_o and_o so_o the_o word_n of_o christ_n be_v verify_v that_o 〈◊〉_d an_o live_v not_o by_o bread_n only_o but_o by_o every_o word_n which_o proceed_v out_o of_o the_o mouth_n of_o god_n that_o be_v it_o be_v not_o

never_o hunger_n or_o thirst_n after_o any_o external_a or_o outward_a teach_n or_o speak_v of_o man_n and_o so_o it_o be_v true_a that_o faith_n come_v by_o hear_v but_o what_o do_v you_o make_v of_o faith_n if_o it_o be_v a_o spiritual_a thing_n as_o it_o be_v than_o it_o must_v needs_o come_v by_o a_o spiritual_a mean_n which_o be_v a_o spiritual_a hear_n and_o so_o the_o follow_a word_n explain_v it_o that_o hear_v come_v 〈◊〉_d the_o word_n of_o god_n now_o it_o be_v apparent_a that_o god_n speak_v spiritual_o and_o so_o he_o be_v hear_v and_o believe_v spiritual_o and_o man_n can_v hear_v god_n speak_v but_o it_o must_v be_v by_o a_o spiritual_a hear_n suitable_a to_o the_o speak_v but_o man_n be_v still_o object_v and_o say_v do_v not_o christ_n and_o the_o apostle_n convince_v man_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o thing_n by_o the_o scripture_n show_v thing_n must_v needs_o be_v so_o i_o answer_v it_o be_v true_a but_o the_o reason_n plain_a which_o be_v that_o because_o man_n be_v not_o able_a to_o bear_v christ_n spiritual_a speak_v it_o be_v mystical_a therefore_o he_o speak_v to_o they_o in_o parable_n and_o in_o such_o a_o way_n as_o they_o can_v apprehend_v and_o so_o do_v
