the_o eternal_a nature_n 21._o outward_a reason_n suppose_v when_o the_o outward_a eye_n seethe_v a_o thing_n that_o be_v all_o there_o be_v no_o other_o see_v more_o indeed_o it_o be_v bad_a enough_o

therefore_o it_o often_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o when_o the_o poor_a captive_a soul_n discover_v or_o describe_v itself_o in_o the_o inward_a root_n and_o think_v what_o will_v follow_v when_o the_o outward_a look_a glass_n break_v that_o it_o be_v horrible_o terrify_v and_o precipitate_v or_o cast_v the_o body_n into_o anguish_n and_o doubt_v 23._o for_o it_o can_v no_o where_n discover_v where_o its_o eternal_a rest_n shall_v be_v but_o it_o find_v that_o it_o be_v in_o itself_o in_o mere_a unquietness_n moreover_o in_o darkness_n and_o have_v the_o outward_a lookingglass_n only_o as_o it_o be_v borrow_v 24._o for_o while_o the_o soul_n stick_v in_o this_o outward_a body_n it_o may_v indeed_o make_v a_o shift_n to_o help_v itself_o with_o the_o sun-looking-glasse_n for_o the_o sun_n have_v in_o its_o root_n the_o inward_a fire_n viz_o the_o principle_n of_o the_o father_n 25._o from_o that_o very_a fire_n it_o get_v a_o glance_n or_o lookingglass_n which_o be_v a_o cause_n of_o the_o essence_n of_o the_o body_n so_o that_o it_o can_v in_o this_o earthly_a transitory_a life_n be_v in_o joy_n but_o when_o the_o outward_a lookingglass_n break_v then_o that_o be_v out_o

souls-fire_n a_o food_n or_o matter_n of_o its_o burn_a 28._o and_o therefore_o have_v god_n introduce_v the_o soul_n into_o flesh_n and_o blood_n that_o it_o may_v not_o so_o easy_o be_v capable_a of_o the_o fierce_a wrathful_a substance_n also_o it_o have_v its_o joy_n the_o while_n in_o the_o sun_n lookingglass_n and_o rejoice_v itself_o in_o the_o sydereall_a essence_n 29._o and_o 1._o the_o

of_o god_n will_v become_v manifest_a 35._o the_o devil_n also_o hinder_v this_o who_o possess_v the_o root_n of_o this_o world_n in_o the_o souls-fire_n and_o set_v always_o evil_a earthly_a do_n

there_o he_o have_v get_v the_o day_n or_o the_o game_n 36._o and_o set_v before_o the_o soul_n outward_a may_v or_o potency_n authority_n and_o honour_n also_o the_o glance_n lustre_n and_o pomp_n of_o the_o outward_a world_n and_o there_o the_o soul_n bit_v at_o that_o and_o tickle_v itself_o therein_o with_o or_o by_o imagination_n and_o yet_o it_o can_v right_o enjoy_v the_o same_o for_o
