jew_n cabbala_n several_n have_v endeavour_v it_o answer_v the_o spirit_n but_o those_o that_o come_v near_a although_o themselves_o deny_v it_o be_v one_o dr._n dee_n and_o one_o edward_n kelly_n the_o one_o represent_v moses_n and_o the_o other_o aaron_n for_o kelly_n be_v to_o dr._n d_o you_o as_o aaron_n to_o moses_n be_v there_o not_o divine_a reason_n as_o well_o as_o there_o be_v natural_a no_o answer_v they_o for_o there_o be_v but_o a_o divine_a faith_n and_o as_o for_o reason_n it_o be_v only_o natural_a but_o you_o mortal_n be_v so_o puzzle_v about_o this_o divine_a faith_n and_o natural_a reason_n that_o you_o do_v not_o know_v well_o how_o to_o distinguish_v they_o but_o confound_v they_o both_o which_o be_v the_o cause_n you_o have_v so_o many_o divine_a philosopher_n who_o make_v a_o gallimafry_n both_o of_o reason_n and_o faith_n then_o she_o ask_v whether_o pure_a natural_a philosopher_n be_v cabalist_n they_o answer_v no_o but_o only_o your_o mystical_a or_o divine_a philosopher_n such_o as_o study_v beyond_o sense_n and_o reason_n she_o inquire_v further_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o cabbala_n in_o god_n or_o whether_o god_n be_v full_a of_o idea_n they_o answer_v there_o can_v be_v nothing_o in_o god_n nor_o can_v god_n be_v full_a of_o any_o thing_n either_o form_n or_o figure_n but_o of_o himself_o for_o god_n be_v the_o perfection_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o a_o unexpressible_a be_v beyond_o the_o conception_n of_o any_o creature_n either_o natural_a or_o supernatural_a then_o i_o pray_v inform_v i_o say_v the_o empress_n whether_o the_o jew_n or_o any_o other_o cabbala_n consist_v in_o number_n the_o spirit_n answer_v no_o for_o number_n be_v odd_a and_o different_a and_o will_v make_v a_o disagreement_n in_o the_o cabbala_n but_o say_v she_o again_o be_v it_o a_o sin_n then_o not_o to_o know_v or_o understand_v the_o cabbala_n god_n be_v so_o merciful_a answer_v they_o and_o so_o just_a that_o he_o will_v never_o damn_v the_o ignorant_a and_o save_v only_o those_o that_o pretend_v to_o know_v he_o and_o his_o secret_a counsel_n by_o their_o cabbala_n but_o he_o love_v those_o that_o adore_v and_o worship_v he_o with_o fear_n and_o reverence_n and_o with_o a_o pure_a heart_n she_o ask_v further_o which_o of_o these_o two_o cabbala_n be_v most_o approve_v the_o natural_a or_o theological_n the_o theological_a answer_v they_o be_v mystical_a and_o belong_v only_o to_o faith_n but_o the_o natural_a belong_v to_o reason_n then_o she_o ask_v they_o whether_o divine_a faith_n be_v make_v out_o of_o reason_n no_o answer_v they_o for_o faith_n proceed_v only_o from_o a_o divine_a save_a grace_n which_o be_v a_o peculiar_a gift_n of_o god_n how_o come_v it_o then_o reply_v she_o that_o man_n even_o those_o that_o be_v of_o several_a opinion_n have_v faith_n more_o or_o less_o a_o natural_a belief_n answer_v they_o be_v not_o a_o divine_a faith_n but_o proceed_v the_o empress_n how_o be_v you_o sure_a that_o god_n can_v be_v know_v the_o several_a opinion_n you_o mortal_n have_v of_o god_n answer_v they_o be_v sufficient_a witness_n thereof_o well_o then_o reply_v the_o empress_n leave_v this_o inquisitive_a knowledge_n of_o god_n i_o pray_v inform_v i_o whether_o you_o spirit_n give_v motion_n to_o natural_a body_n no_o answer_v they_o but_o on_o the_o contrary_a natural_a material_a body_n give_v spirit_n motion_n for_o we_o spirit_n be_v incorporeal_a have_v no_o motion_n but_o from_o our_o corporeal_a vehicle_n so_o that_o we_o move_v by_o the_o help_n of_o our_o body_n and_o not_o the_o body_n by_o the_o help_n of_o we_o for_o pure_a spirit_n be_v immovable_a if_o this_o be_v so_o reply_v the_o empress_n how_o come_v it_o then_o that_o you_o can_v move_v so_o sudden_o at_o a_o vast_a distance_n they_o answer_v that_o some_o sort_n of_o matter_n be_v more_o pure_a rare_a and_o consequent_o more_o light_a and_o agile_a than_o other_o and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n many_o in_o this_o age_n do_v think_v their_o forefather_n have_v be_v fool_n by_o which_o they_o prove_v themselves_o to_o be_v such_o the_o empress_n ask_v further_o whether_o there_o be_v any_o plastic_a power_n in_o nature_n true_o say_v the_o spirit_n plastic_a power_n in_o a_o hard_a word_n signify_v no_o more_o than_o the_o power_n of_o the_o corporeal_a figurative_a motion_n of_o nature_n after_o this_o the_o empress_n desire_v the_o spirit_n to_o inform_v she_o where_o the_o paradise_n be_v whether_o it_o be_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o world_n as_o a_o centre_n of_o pleasure_n or_o whether_o it_o be_v the_o whole_a world_n or_o a_o peculiar_a world_n by_o itself_o as_o a_o world_n of_o life_n and_o not_o of_o matter_n or_o whether_o it_o be_v mix_v as_o a_o world_n of_o live_a animal_n creature_n they_o answer_v that_o paradise_n be_v not_o in_o the_o world_n she_o come_v from_o but_o in_o that_o world_n she_o live_v in_o at_o present_a and_o that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a same_o place_n where_o she_o keep_v her_o court_n and_o where_o her_o palace_n stand_v in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o imperial_a city_n the_o empress_n ask_v further_o whether_o in_o the_o beginning_n and_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n all_o beast_n can_v speak_v they_o answer_v that_o no_o beast_n can_v speak_v but_o only_o those_o sort_n of_o creature_n which_o be_v fishman_n bear-man_n worm-man_n and_o the_o like_a which_o can_v speak_v in_o the_o first_o age_n as_o well_o as_o they_o do_v now_o she_o ask_v again_o whether_o they_o be_v none_o of_o those_o spirit_n that_o fright_v adam_n out_o of_o the_o paradise_n at_o least_o cause_v he_o not_o to_o return_v thither_o again_o they_o answer_v they_o be_v not_o then_o she_o desire_v to_o be_v inform_v whither_o adam_n flee_v when_o he_o be_v drive_v out_o of_o the_o paradise_n out_o of_o this_o world_n say_v they_o you_o be_v now_o empress_n of_o into_o the_o world_n you_o come_v from_o if_o this_o be_v so_o reply_v the_o empress_n then_o sure_o those_o cabalist_n be_v much_o out_o of_o their_o story_n who_o believe_v the_o paradise_n to_o be_v a_o world_n of_o life_n only_o without_o matter_n for_o this_o world_n though_o it_o be_v most_o pleasant_a and_o fruitful_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o a_o world_n of_o mere_a immaterial_a life_n but_o a_o world_n of_o live_v material_a creature_n without_o question_n they_o be_v answer_v the_o spirit_n for_o not_o all_o cabbalas_n be_v true_a then_o the_o empress_n ask_v that_o since_o it_o be_v mention_v in_o the_o story_n of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n that_o eve_n be_v tempt_v by_o the_o serpent_n whether_o the_o devil_n be_v within_o the_o serpent_n or_o whether_o the_o serpent_n tempt_v she_o without_o the_o devil_n they_o answer_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v within_o the_o serpent_n but_o how_o come_v it_o then_o reply_v she_o that_o the_o serpent_n be_v curse_v they_o answer_v because_o the_o devil_n be_v in_o he_o for_o be_v not_o those_o man_n in_o danger_n of_o damnation_n which_o have_v the_o devil_n within_o they_o who_o persuade_v they_o to_o believe_v and_o act_v wicked_o the_o empress_n ask_v further_o whether_o light_n and_o the_o heaven_n be_v all_o one_o they_o answer_v that_o that_o region_n which_o contain_v the_o lucid_a natural_a orb_n be_v by_o mortal_n name_v heaven_n but_o the_o beatifical_a heaven_n which_o be_v the_o habitation_n of_o the_o bless_a angel_n and_o soul_n be_v so_o far_o beyond_o it_o that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v compare_v to_o any_o natural_a creature_n then_o the_o empress_n ask_v they_o whether_o all_o matter_n be_v fluid_a at_o first_o they_o answer_v that_o matter_n be_v always_o as_o it_o be_v and_o that_o some_o part_n of_o matter_n be_v rare_a some_o dense_n some_o fluid_a some_o solid_a etc._n etc._n neither_o be_v god_n bind_v to_o make_v all_o matter_n fluid_a at_o first_o she_o ask_v further_o whether_o matter_n be_v immovable_a init_fw-la self_n we_o have_v answer_v you_o before_o say_v they_o that_o there_o be_v no_o motion_n but_o in_o matter_n and_o be_v it_o not_o for_o the_o motion_n of_o matter_n we_o spirit_n can_v not_o move_v nor_o give_v you_o any_o answer_n to_o your_o several_a question_n after_o this_o the_o empress_n ask_v the_o spirit_n whether_o the_o universe_n be_v make_v within_o the_o space_n of_o six_o day_n or_o whether_o by_o those_o six_o day_n be_v mean_v so_o many_o decree_n or_o command_v of_o god_n they_o answer_v she_o that_o the_o world_n be_v make_v by_o the_o all-powerful_a decree_n and_o
