their_o child_n friend_n and_o good_n and_o know_v see_v like_a or_o dislike_v their_o purpose_n and_o undertake_n 1._o my_o belove_a friend_n this_o question_n be_v above_o all_o humane_a reason_n and_o knowledge_n according_a to_o outward_a reason_n but_o be_v we_o be_v abraham_n child_n therefore_o we_o have_v abraham_n spirit_n in_o christ_n and_o as_o abraham_n look_v backward_o upon_o the_o promise_n in_o paradise_n and_o forward_o upon_o the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o promise_n so_o that_o he_o see_v in_o the_o whole_a body_n of_o christ_n what_o be_v to_o be_v in_o the_o middle_a

which_o you_o have_v cause_v by_o your_o seek_n 4._o now_o see_v that_o you_o attain_v also_o abraham_n spirit_n which_o have_v write_v in_o the_o knowledge_n and_o apprehension_n of_o this_o hand_n we_o will_v set_v you_o it_o down_o in_o a_o brotherly_a manner_n for_o we_o be_v not_o your_o lord_n in_o the_o mystery_n but_o your_o servant_n 5._o apprehend_v we_o aright_o we_o be_v lazarus_n and_o you_o be_v in_o respect_n of_o we_o to_o be_v account_v abraham_n you_o have_v labour_v much_o more_o than_o we_o but_o we_o be_v fall_v into_o your_o harvest_n not_o of_o merit_n but_o of_o the_o grace_n of_o the_o giver_n that_o no_o tongue_n may_v boast_v before_o god_n and_o say_v this_o have_v my_o understanding_n do_v 6._o you_o ask_v a_o high_a question_n i_o understand_v it_o not_o for_o if_o i_o shall_v apprehend_v it_o then_o must_v i_o be_v in_o the_o depart_v soul_n and_o must_v be_v in_o that_o soul_n spirit_n &_o apprehension_n 7._o nevertheless_o be_v we_o be_v in_o christ_n one_o body_n &_o have_v also_o christ_n spirit_n therefore_o we_o see_v all_o in_o christ_n out_o of_o one_o spirit_n and_o have_v its_o apprehension_n for_o he_o be_v in_o we_o become_v man_n and_o all_o holy_a soul_n be_v our_o fellow_n member_n all_o beget_v from_o or_o out_o of_o one_o and_o we_o have_v all_o one_o will_v in_o christ_n and_o the_o right_a and_o true_a bosom_n of_o abraham_n 8._o and_o so_o now_o we_o have_v get_v may_v and_o power_n to_o manifest_a or_o reveal_v unto_o you_o that_o hide_a thing_n in_o christ_n for_o our_o soul_n see_v in_o their_o soul_n not_o that_o they_o press_v and_o come_v to_o we_o but_o we_o press_v and_o go_v to_o they_o for_o they_o be_v in_o perfection_n and_o we_o but_o in_o part._n 9_o and_o now_o we_o can_v answer_v you_o not_o from_o reason_n of_o the_o outward_a world_n but_o from_o or_o out_o of_o the_o image_n of_o christ_n and_o out_o of_o he_o and_o our_o spirit_n 10._o you_o ask_v whether_o the_o soul_n depart_v take_v care_n about_o humane_a matter_n or_o do_n and_o see_v like_a or_o dislike_v they_o now_o this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o three_o several_a way_n as_o to_o three_o sort_n of_o soul_n as_o indeed_o there_o be_v three_o distinct_a kind_n of_o they_o 11._o first_o i._o concern_v the_o soul_n that_o have_v not_o yet_o attain_v heaven_n which-stick_a in_o the_o source_n quality_n or_o pain_n in_o the_o principle_n in_o the_o birth_n these_o have_v still_o humane_a matter_n with_o the_o work_n on_o they_o and_o they_o search_v diligent_o after_o the_o cause_n of_o their_o detention_n 12._o and_o therefore_o many_o of_o they_o come_v again_o with_o the_o starry_a spirit_n and_o walk_v about_o in_o house_n and_o other_o place_n and_o appear_v in_o humane_a shape_n and_o form_n and_o desire_v this_o and_o that_o and_o often_o take_v care_n about_o their_o will_n and_o testament_n suppose_v thereby_o to_o get_v the_o blessing_n of_o holy_a people_n for_o their_o rest_n and_o quiet_a 13._o and_o if_o their_o earthly_a business_n and_o employment_n stick_v in_o they_o and_o cleave_v to_o they_o still_o then_o indeed_o they_o take_v care_n about_o their_o child_n and_o friend_n and_o this_o continue_v so_o long_o till_o they_o sink_v down_o into_o their_o rest_n so_o that_o their_o starry_a spirit_n be_v consume_v than_o all_o be_v go_v as_o to_o all_o care_n and_o perplexity_n and_o they_o have_v no_o more_o feel_a knowledge_n thereof_o but_o mere_o that_o they_o see_v it_o in_o the_o wonder_n in_o the_o magia_n 14._o but_o they_o touch_v not_o the_o turba_n nor_o seek_v what_o be_v in_o this_o world_n for_o they_o be_v once_o sink_v down_o from_o the_o turba_n through_o death_n they_o desire_v that_o no_o more_o neither_o do_v they_o take_v any_o more_o care_n for_o in_o care_n the_o turba_n be_v stir_v for_o the_o soul_n will_v must_v enter_v with_o its_o spirit_n into_o earthly_a thing_n which_o it_o will_v fain_o forsake_v for_o it_o hardly_o get_v rid_v away_o from_o they_o before_o it_o will_v not_o cumber_v itself_o to_o let_v in_o the_o earthly_a spirit_n again_o 15._o this_o be_v a_o information_n concern_v that_o one_o part_n or_o sort_n of_o soul_n and_o we_o speak_v free_o and_o certain_o that_o this_o part_n or_o sort_n do_v no_o more_o after_o they_o be_v come_v to_o grace_n purposely_o take_v care_n about_o humane_a earthly_a matter_n but_o about_o heavenly_a matter_n which_o come_v to_o they_o through_o man_n spirit_n they_o see_v they_o and_o have_v their_o joy_n therein_o 16._o but_o there_o remain_v this_o still_a to_o be_v say_v that_o a_o live_a man_n have_v such_o power_n and_o authority_n that_o he_o can_v with_o his_o spirit_n reach_v into_o heaven_n to_o the_o soul_n depart_v and_o stir_v they_o up_o often_o in_o a_o question_n or_o a_o hearty_a desire_n but_o it_o must_v be_v earnest_a there_o belong_v faith_n to_o the_o break_v open_a of_o a_o principle_n 17._o such_o a_o thing_n we_o see_v in_o samuel_n the_o prophet_n who_o the_o king_n of_o israel_n raise_v up_o that_o he_o may_v manifest_v his_o will_n to_o he_o though_o some_o look_n upon_o it_o otherwise_o of_o who_o we_o say_v they_o be_v blind_a without_o apprehension_n or_o knowledge_n and_o speak_v their_o school-conceit_n and_o make_v meaning_n and_o opinion_n about_o that_o they_o have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o in_o the_o spirit_n and_o

eternity_n before_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v lay_v which_o stand_v in_o the_o majesty_n of_o the_o holy_a number_n three_o and_o also_o in_o the_o body_n of_o mary_n equal_o alike_o at_o once_o 21._o and_o the_o soul_n of_o christ_n belong_v half_a to_o the_o principle_n of_o this_o world_n and_o half_a to_o the_o holy_a spirit_n for_o the_o soul_n of_o christ_n make_v use_v of_o the_o outward_a spirit_n air_n of_o the_o star_n or_o constellation_n with_o the_o power_n and_o virtue_n of_o the_o element_n and_o also_o of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o of_o divine_a food_n for_o such_o a_o man_n be_v adam_n in_o innocency_n 22._o thus_o have_v god_n in_o christ_n regenerate_v we_o anew_o and_o thus_o be_v we_o bear_v anew_o in_o christ_n out_o of_o god_n word_n and_o spirit_n through_o the_o water_n of_o the_o eternal_a life_n &_o thus_o be_v we_o god_n child_n in_o christ_n and_o if_o we_o give_v ourselves_o up_o into_o christ_n out_o from_o our_o blood_n reason_n than_o we_o be_v endue_v with_o christ_n body_n and_o our_o will_n and_o spirit_n live_v from_o or_o of_o christ_n in_o we_o and_o we_o in_o he_o 23._o thus_o you_o may_v understand_v what_o christ_n temptation_n be_v viz._n that_o the_o new_a regenerate_v man_n shall_v now_o hold_v out_o or_o endure_v adam_n temptation_n to_o try_v whether_o his_o soul_n can_v stand_v in_o god_n and_o there_o he_o be_v try_v in_o the_o turba_n to_o see_v whether_o he_o can_v right_o stand_v in_o the_o three_o principle_n and_o rule_v over_o the_o outward_a and_o therefore_o his_o food_n of_o the_o outward_a life_n be_v withdraw_v from_o he_o that_o the_o inward_a life_n may_v overpower_v the_o outward_a and_o eat_v of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n and_o hold_v the_o outward_a in_o its_o own_o power_n and_o full_a omnipotency_n and_o also_o hold_v death_n captive_a that_o it_o shall_v not_o destroy_v the_o outward_a life_n this_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o great_a combat_n 24._o and_o then_o the_o other_o two_o temptation_n be_v these_o he_o be_v try_v whether_o man_n will_v live_v in_o full_a obedience_n to_o god_n and_o let_v god_n work_v in_o he_o or_o whether_o he_o will_v lift_v up_o himself_o again_o and_o free_v himself_o from_o god_n as_o lucifer_n do_v and_o therefore_o the_o devil_n must_v tempt_v he_o see_v this_o man_n be_v to_o possess_v his_o kingly_a or_o royal_a throne_n 25._o therefore_o the_o devil_n complain_v that_o he_o be_v not_o able_a to_o stand_v the_o mother_n of_o the_o fierce_a wrathfulness_n draw_v he_o so_o hard_o therefore_o it_o be_v now_o permit_v to_o he_o that_o he_o shall_v tempt_v and_o try_v it_o in_o this_o man_n and_o shall_v set_v before_o he_o that_o which_o be_v set_v before_o himself_o and_o if_o this_o man_n do_v overcome_v he_o shall_v be_v the_o devil_n judge_n who_o be_v find_v to_o be_v a_o lyar._n 26._o for_o he_o tempt_v he_o in_o the_o second_o and_o three_o assault_v full_o to_o try_v whether_o he_o will_v fly_v in_o his_o own_o self_n may_v and_o he_o himself_o have_v do_v and_o have_v awaken_v the_o anger_n or_o whether_o he_o will_v put_v his_o trust_n alone_o in_o god_n and_o live_v in_o god_n with_o will_n and_o substance_n or_o deed_n as_o a_o child_n in_o obedience_n to_o the_o father_n and_o this_o he_o try_v so_o long_o with_o he_o as_o adam_n be_v in_o the_o temptation_n before_o his_o sleep_n 27._o thus_o must_v we_o also_o continual_o be_v tempt_v but_o in_o christ_n who_o have_v overcome_v we_o can_v have_v the_o victory_n for_o his_o soul_n be_v our_o soul_n and_o his_o flesh_n our_o flesh_n if_o we_o trust_v in_o he_o and_o give_v up_o ourselves_o whole_o to_o he_o as_o christ_n give_v himself_o up_o to_o his_o father_n 28._o and_o thus_o belove_a friend_n you_o understand_v what_o christ_n soul_n and_o body_n be_v viz._n our_o soul_n and_o body_n if_o we_o cleave_v to_o god_n but_o if_o not_o than_o we_o be_v rend_v off_o and_o be_v according_a to_o
