life_n and_o a_o very_a heaven_n upon_o earth_n out_o of_o this_o definition_n of_o spiritual_a life_n we_o may_v learn_v first_o that_o as_o by_o the_o operation_n of_o natural_a life_n we_o easy_o

further_o to_o the_o act_n of_o holy_a and_o spiritual_a operation_n which_o wheresoever_o they_o be_v true_o and_o sincere_o act_v
express_o thus_o say_v he_o we_o judge_v that_o if_o one_o die_v for_o all_o 15._o they_o be_v all_o dead_a &_o that_o he_o die_v for_o all_o that_o they_o which_o live_v shall_v not_o henceforth_o

the_o soul_n the_o body_n live_v unto_o the_o soul_n when_o it_o be_v serviceable_a and_o obedient_a thereunto_o especial_o when_o it_o follow_v not_o the_o sway_n of_o inordinate_a passion_n but_o

hence_o we_o may_v learn_v humility_n to_o ascribe_v nothing_o to_o our_o own_o self_n for_o what_o be_v we_o in_o nature_n but_o stink_a carcase_n if_o we_o live_v it_o be_v by_o the_o mere_a grace_n
