his_o heart_n thither_o so_o the_o saint_n though_o they_o have_v not_o their_o body_n in_o heaven_n their_o heart_n be_v there_o and_o they_o take_v much_o pain_n and_o be_v at_o great_a charge_n to_o get_v their_o heart_n thither_o all_o thing_n in_o nature_n have_v a_o principle_n to_o carry_v they_o to_o their_o proper_a place_n because_o the_o place_n of_o fire_n be_v on_o high_a therefore_o fire_n have_v a_o principle_n to_o carry_v it_o on_o high_a and_o because_o the_o place_n of_o earth_n be_v below_o therefore_o earth_n have_v a_o principle_n to_o carry_v it_o downward_o so_o if_o the_o place_n and_o centre_n of_o the_o heart_n be_v in_o heaven_n then_o certain_o it_o have_v a_o principle_n to_o move_v natural_o thither_o to_o move_v upward_o to_o heaven_n and_o therefore_o that_o soul_n that_o have_v nothing_o but_o a_o principle_n to_o carry_v it_o downward_o to_o the_o earth_n and_o to_o the_o lust_n of_o it_o to_o these_o thing_n below_o heaven_n be_v not_o the_o proper_a place_n for_o such_o a_o soul_n and_o when_o the_o soul_n go_v out_o of_o the_o body_n it_o will_v not_o go_v to_o heaven_n take_v earth_n and_o close_o it_o in_o a_o vessel_n and_o take_v fire_n and_o put_v into_o a_o vessel_n open_v the_o vessel_n and_o let_v they_o out_o and_o they_o go_v both_o to_o their_o place_n so_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n when_o they_o be_v go_v out_o of_o the_o body_n they_o go_v to_o the_o place_n whither_o they_o have_v a_o principle_n to_o carry_v they_o therefore_o do_v not_o think_v the_o principle_n shall_v be_v put_v into_o they_o when_o you_o die_v but_o you_o must_v have_v a_o principle_n before_o if_o your_o heart_n be_v press_v down_o by_o earthly_a thing_n when_o you_o die_v they_o will_v fall_v down_o and_o therefore_o
