well_o i_o be_o glad_a you_o like_o it_o but_o what_o difference_n be_v there_o between_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o angel_n paulus_n why_o i_o suppose_v they_o be_v both_o spirit_n and_o both_o

suppose_v the_o devil_n do_v dwell_v in_o hell_n aug._n it_o be_v a_o place_n prepare_v for_o they_o and_o the_o wicked_a evangelus_n the_o habitation_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v infernum_fw-la partly_o in_o hell_n and_o partly_o in_o the_o air_n the_o devil_n do_v dwell_v in_o the_o air_n unto_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o usurp_a the_o same_o on_o purpose_n that_o they_o may_v rule_v in_o

impure_a but_o enough_o of_o this_o what_o think_v you_o now_o of_o jesus_n christ_n paulus_n who_o be_v jesus_n christ_n why_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n evangelus_n it_o be_v true_a my_o

you_o think_v of_o these_o be_v first_o god_n the_o father_n or_o god_n the_o son_n paulus_n there_o be_v a_o question_n indeed_o sure_o the_o father_n must_v be_v before_o the_o son_n evangelus_n yea_o friend_n that_o be_v true_a it_o be_v so_o in_o natural_a generation_n humane_a but_o here_o it_o be_v not_o for_o christ_n jesus_n be_v coeternal_a with_o his_o father_n and_o equal_a with_o

by_o a_o eye_n of_o faith_n must_v shu●_n out_o the_o eye_n of_o reason_n and_o what_o think_v you_o now_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n paulus_n why_o i_o suppose_v he_o be_v god_n too_o be_v he_o not_o evangelus_n yes_o he_o be_v so_o see_v 1_o john_n 5.7_o for_o there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v record_n in_o heaven_n the_o father_n word_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o these_o three_o be_v one_o paulus_n nay_o this_o be_v very_o evident_a you_o bring_v scripture_n i_o say_v to_o prove_v what_o you_o say_v evangelus_n well_o if_o so_o be_v you_o do_v believe_v what_o i_o have_v say_v concern_v the_o bless_a trinity_n say_v with_o i_o god_n the_o father_n god_n the_o son_n and_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o these_o three_o be_v one_o paulus_n god_n the_o father_n god_n the_o son_n and_o

i_o know_v not_o very_o well_o evangelus_n why_o it_o signify_v a_o make_v all_o thing_n of_o nothing_o paulus_n say_v you_o so_o evangelus_n yea_o and_o have_v you_o not_o read_v that_o the_o world_n

there_o be_v by_o which_o i_o be_o bind_v to_o look_v after_o you_o viz._n i_o be_o a_o die_a creature_n and_o therefore_o whilst_o i_o have_v life_n i_o must_v act_v for_o god_n because_o when_o i_o
