as_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n with_o we_o so_o be_v a_o mediator_n in_o office_n and_o be_v so_o fit_a for_o a_o mediator_n in_o nature_n what_o a_o comfort_n be_v this_o indeed_o there_o be_v

between_o in_o christ_n we_o go_v to_o god_n in_o our_o flesh_n in_o our_o nature_n and_o in_o christ_n and_o from_o christ_n and_o by_o christ_n we_o have_v all_o grace_n and_o comfort_n from_o

and_o what_o soever_o be_v spiritual_a and_o divine_a come_v from_o the_o spirit_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v call_v spirit_n you_o see_v therefore_o a_o necessity_n of_o the_o work_n of_o the_o

the_o spirit_n to_o enable_v we_o to_o do_v all_o soul_n the_o spirit_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n as_o the_o soul_n be_v to_o the_o body_n what_o be_v the_o body_n without_o the_o soul_n a_o ca●k●ss●_n a_o loathsome_a dead_a thing_n what_o be_v the_o soul_n without_o the_o spirit_n a_o chaos_n of_o darkness_n and_o confusion_n well_o spirit_n how_o shall_v we_o know_v whether_o we_o have_v the_o

again_o thing_n though_o body_n be_v dark_a it_o make_v they_o lightsome_a like_o itself_o iron_n be_v a_o dark_a body_n but_o if_o the_o fire_n penetrate_v it_o it_o make_v it_o lightsome_a we_o be_v
