of_o the_o thinker_n and_o of_o the_o thing_n think_v of_o without_o a_o appendency_n out-turning_a or_o respect_n to_o duration_n place_n and_o circumstance_n then_o indeed_o such_o a_o thought_n

otherwise_o first_o of_o all_o because_o the_o instrument_n of_o the_o imagination_n do_v not_o labour_v in_o this_o act_n but_o they_o sleep_v unmoved_a as_o if_o they_o be_v not_o therefore_o likewise_o they_o suffer_v nothing_o then_o because_o that_o act_n be_v not_o in_o our_o power_n for_o i_o believe_v that_o that_o principal_a act_n be_v of_o clemency_n which_o clemency_n do_v

may_v bring_v i_o unto_o the_o call_n which_o be_v please_v to_o he_o in_o his_o grace_n the_o light_n therefore_o which_o fall_v from_o above_o upon_o the_o soul_n when_o it_o be_v less_o tie_v and_o

of_o a_o small_a quantity_n of_o the_o light_n i_o find_v a_o man_n scarce_o to_o suffer_v any_o thing_n by_o three_o day_n fast_v wherefore_o it_o come_v into_o my_o mind_n that_o the_o friend_n may_v stand_v by_o job_n as_o companion_n for_o the_o full_a nine_o day_n without_o meat_n or_o drink_n moreover_o according_a to_o my_o opinion_n that_o light_n do_v so_o dispose_v of_o the_o

rage_n furthermore_o the_o transmutation_n of_o the_o arterial_a blood_n into_o spirit_n which_o be_v begin_v in_o the_o heart_n be_v ripen_v in_o the_o current_n of_o the_o artery_n or_o stomach_n
