3_o or_o whither_o it_o go_v so_o be_v every_o one_o that_o be_v bear_v after_o the_o spirit_n it_o be_v a_o very_a difficult_a thing_n to_o tell_v what_o the_o spirit_n teach_n be_v first_o because_o

they_o be_v abstract_v teach_n appear_v 1._o because_o they_o be_v immediate_o upon_o the_o soul_n and_o not_o bare_o upon_o the_o soul_n but_o upon_o the_o inmost_a part_n of_o the_o soul_n jer._n

because_o they_o be_v spiritual_a teach_n and_o therefore_o abstract_v teach_n they_o be_v spiritual_a teach_n because_o the_o spirit_n teach_v they_o a_o spirit_n can_v communicate_v itself_o to_o
