of_o glory_n three_o there_o be_v a_o death_n that_o be_v opposite_a to_o the_o life_n of_o joy_n in_o hell_n there_o be_v a_o life_n man_n be_v not_o quite_o extinguish_v but_o yet_o man_n in_o

than_o man_n die_v this_o death_n of_o sorrow_n god_n join_v himself_o to_o the_o soul_n of_o good_a and_o bad_a to_o those_o who_o be_v not_o sanctify_v he_o join_v himself_o in_o a_o common_a

have_v extraordinary_a joy_n now_o when_o god_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o soul_n then_o come_v a_o perfect_a death_n see_v it_o in_o the_o separation_n of_o god_n from_o christ_n humanity_n god_n withdraw_v himself_o from_o he_o but_o for_o a_o time_n he_o cry_v out_o my_o god_n my_o god_n why_o have_v thou_o forsake_v i_o as_o god_n withdraw_v himself_o more_o or_o less_o so_o be_v our_o

there_o be_v death_n all_o man_n natural_o want_v this_o motion_n they_o can_v judge_v or_o do_v any_o thing_n by_o nature_n they_o may_v do_v opus_fw-la operatum_fw-la but_o they_o can_v do_v it_o in_o a_o holy_a manner_n their_o prayer_n their_o hear_n receive_v of_o the_o sacrament_n and_o the_o like_a be_v dead_a work_n without_o faith_n the_o principal_a of_o life_n however_o they_o may_v be_v fair_a in_o other_o man_n eye_n the_o three_o sign_n of_o a_o natural_a death_n be_v sencelesnesse_n so_o man_n be_v spiritual_o dead_a when_o they_o be_v not_o affect_v with_o god_n judgement_n

natural_a man_n apprehend_v evil_a not_o from_o a_o quicken_a spirit_n but_o from_o a_o self_n love_n last_o in_o a_o natural_a death_n there_o be_v a_o loss_n of_o that_o vigour_n and_o beauty_n in_o the_o face_n and_o countenance_n which_o be_v in_o live_a man_n so_o in_o man_n that_o be_v spiritual_o dead_a there_o be_v no_o beauty_n no_o vigour_n they_o have_v death_n in_o their_o face_n they_o

their_o good_a thing_n make_v they_o not_o man_n they_o be_v beautiful_a yet_o they_o be_v but_o dead_a man_n as_o the_o evil_a work_n of_o good_a man_n make_v they_o not_o bad_a man_n so_o the_o
