thou_o say_v right_a and_o it_o please_v i_o well_o to_o have_v hear_v this_o word_n from_o thou_o for_o as_o all_o knowledge_n of_o the_o taste_n of_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v never_o taste_v be_v empty_a and_o barren_a until_o the_o sense_n of_o taste_v do_v reach_v it_o so_o likewise_o of_o this_o wisdom_n which_o no_o man_n taste_v by_o hearsay_n but_o he_o only_o taste_v which_o receive_v it_o in_o his_o internal_a taste_n and_o he_o bear_v witness_v not_o of_o those_o thing_n he_o have_v hear_v but_o which_o he_o have_v experimental_o taste_v in_o himself_o to_o know_v the_o many_o description_n of_o love_n which_o the_o saint_n have_v leave_v unto_o we_o without_o the_o taste_n of_o love_n be_v but_o a_o certain_a emptiness_n wherefore_o for_o he_o that_o seek_v eternal_a wisdom_n it_o be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o know_v those_o thing_n which_o be_v read_v of_o it_o but_o it_o be_v very_o necessary_a that_o have_v find_v by_o his_o understanding_n where_o it_o be_v he_o then_o make_v it_o his_o own_o as_o he_o that_o have_v find_v a_o field_n wherein_o there_o be_v a_o great_a treasure_n can_v rejoice_v in_o or_o enjoy_v that_o treasure_n be_v in_o another_o man_n and_o not_o his_o own_o field_n therefore_o he_o sell_v all_o and_o by_v that_o field_n that_o he_o may_v have_v the_o treasure_n in_o his_o own_o field_n he_o must_v then_o sell_v and_o give_v away_o all_o his_o own_o thing_n for_o the_o eternal_a wisdom_n will_v not_o be_v have_v but_o where_o the_o haver_n keep_v nothing_o of_o his_o own_o to_o the_o end_n he_o may_v have_v that_o and_o that_o which_o we_o have_v of_o our_o own_o be_v our_o vice_n and_o that_o which_o we_o have_v of_o the_o eternal_a wisdom_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o good_a thing_n wherefore_o the_o spirit_n of_o wisdom_n dwell_v not_o in_o a_o body_n subject_a to_o sin_n nor_o in_o a_o evil_a willing_a soul_n but_o in_o his_o own_o pure_a field_n and_o sapientiall_a clean_a image_n as_o in_o his_o holy_a

idiot_n far_o be_v it_o we_o shall_v say_v it_o be_v any_o thing_n else_o it_o be_v god_n orator_n do_v not_o god_n form_n or_o create_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o word_n idiot_n he_o do_v orator_n be_v the_o word_n god_n idiot_n it_o be_v orator_n be_v wisdom_n so_o idiot_n to_o say_v that_o god_n make_v all_o thing_n in_o wisdom_n be_v no_o more_o to_o say_v then_o that_o that_o god_n create_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o word_n but_o consider_v how_o all_o that_o be_v may_v be_v and_o may_v so_o be_v and_o be_v and_o god_n that_o give_v it_o the_o actualnesse_n of_o be_v be_v he_o with_o who_o there_o be_v power_n by_o which_o the_o thing_n may_v be_v produce_v from_o not_o be_v to_o be_v and_o he_o be_v god_n the_o father_n which_o may_v be_v call_v entity_n or_o unity_n because_o he_o do_v by_o his_o omnipotence_n necessitate_v that_o to_o be_v which_o be_v nothing_o for_o god_n give_v it_o such_o a_o be_v that_o it_o be_v this_o as_o heaven_n for_o example_n and_o nothing_o else_o

for_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o unite_v and_o knit_v together_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o univers_a and_o in_o we_o as_o therefore_o nothing_o beget_v unity_n but_o it_o be_v the_o first_o

so_o the_o son_n from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o knot_n or_o bond_n proceed_v from_o unity_n and_o its_o equality_n so_o the_o holy_a spirit_n from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n wherefore_o every_o thing_n that_o it_o may_v have_v be_v and_o such_o a_o be_v in_o which_o it_o be_v have_v need_n of_o a_o unitrine_n principle_n namely_o of_o god_n three_o and_o one_o of_o who_o there_o may_v much_o more_o be_v say_v if_o the_o time_n will_v give_v leave_n the_o wisdom_n therefore_o which_o be_v the_o equality_n itself_o of_o be_v be_v the_o word_n or_o reason_n of_o thing_n for_o
