no_n shall_v be_v acceptable_a to_o god_n who_o for_o his_o sake_n appoint_a time_n and_o season_n for_o sow_v and_o reap_v and_o give_v no_o the_o skill_n to_o find_v out_o wine_n that_o comfort_v

neither_o good_a nor_o bad_a neither_o with_o body_n nor_o without_o body_n for_o they_o be_v spirit_n be_v not_o move_v with_o carnal_a lust_n neither_o be_v it_o to_o drown_v they_o that_o god_n

of_o god_n that_o they_o be_v holy_a and_o just_a man_n but_o they_o be_v of_o sound_a judgement_n that_o by_o they_o understand_v the_o posterity_n of_o sh_v who_o although_o they_o degenerate_v yet_o moses_n give_v they_o that_o honourable_a title_n to_o show_v their_o ingratitude_n in_o forsake_v their_o heavenly_a father_n q._n why_o be_v the_o posterity_n of_o sh_v call_v the_o son_n of_o

7._o for_o this_o cause_n abraham_n and_o isaac_n will_v not_o have_v their_o son_n marry_v with_o canaanite_n second_o they_o take_v those_o wife_n not_o for_o multiplication_n of_o mankind_n but_o

they_o say_v that_o angel_n have_v in_o they_o but_o one_o element_n then_o i_o will_v know_v which_o it_o be_v again_o they_o shall_v grant_v that_o the_o body_n of_o angel_n be_v more_o ignoble_a

than_o their_o mind_n be_v imperfect_a for_o there_o be_v a_o proportion_n between_o the_o form_n and_o the_o matter_n q._n can_v angel_n beget_v child_n a._n no_o for_o they_o have_v not_o feed_v
