and_o know_v and_o it_o make_v the_o eternal_a joy_n of_o the_o victory_n to_o be_v for_o there_o will_v arise_v great_a praise_n in_o the_o saint_n from_o hence_o that_o christ_n in_o they_o have_v

world_n shall_v be_v turn_v into_o eternal_a pain_n and_o shame_n to_o they_o therefore_o the_o joy_n of_o the_o saint_n must_v arise_v to_o they_o out_o of_o death_n as_o the_o light_n arise_v out_o of_o a_o candle_n by_o the_o die_a and_o consume_v of_o it_o in_o its_o fire_n that_o so_o the_o life_n may_v be_v free_v from_o the_o painfulness_n of_o nature_n and_o possess_v another_o world_n and_o as_o the_o light_n have_v quite_o another_o property_n than_o the_o fire_n have_v for_o it_o give_v and_o yield_v forth_o itself_o but_o the_o fire_n take_v in_o and_o consume_v itself_o so_o the_o holy_a life_n of_o meekness_n spring_v forth_o through_o death_n when_o self-will_n die_v and_o then_o god_n will_v of_o love_n only_o rule_v and_o do_v all_o in_o al._n for_o thus_o the_o
