the_o same_o paulus_n well_o i_o be_o now_o convince_v of_o my_o folly_n especial_o of_o confide_v in_o good_a work_n for_o salvation_n evangelus_n well_o bless_v god_n for_o it_o and_o now_o see_v

well_o i_o be_o glad_a you_o like_o it_o but_o what_o difference_n be_v there_o between_o the_o devil_n and_o the_o angel_n paulus_n why_o i_o suppose_v they_o be_v both_o spirit_n and_o both_o angel_n only_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n be_v the_o good_a angel_n and_o the_o devil_n be_v the_o evil_a one_o evangelus_n thou_o say_v right_a the_o devil_n th●●_n be_v now_o in_o hell_n be_v

suppose_v the_o devil_n do_v dwell_v in_o hell_n aug._n it_o be_v a_o place_n prepare_v for_o they_o and_o the_o wicked_a evangelus_n the_o habitation_n of_o the_o devil_n be_v infernum_fw-la partly_o in_o hell_n and_o partly_o in_o the_o air_n the_o devil_n do_v dwell_v in_o the_o air_n unto_o the_o day_n of_o judgement_n and_o usurp_a the_o same_o on_o purpose_n that_o they_o may_v rule_v in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n but_o what_o difference_n be_v there_o between_o the_o spirit_n and_o our_o soul_n for_o our_o soul_n you_o know_v be_v spirit_n paulus_n nay_o i_o believe_v now_o you_o ask_v i_o that_o which_o you_o can_v answer_v yourself_o evangelus_n als●ed_a think_v not_o so_o friend_n for_o the_o angel_n be_v the_o firs●_o creature_n that_o god_n make_v whereas_o our_o soul_n be_v not_o the_o angel_n be_v not_o cover_v with_o flesh_n but_o our_o soul_n be_v the_o angel_n be_v perfect_a spirit_n but_o our_o soul_n through_o union_n with_o their_o body_n be_v imperfect_a and_o impure_a but_o enough_o of_o this_o what_o think_v you_o now_o of_o jesus_n christ_n paulus_n who_o be_v jesus_n christ_n why_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n evangelus_n it_o be_v true_a my_o friend_n he_o be_v so_o for_o god_n the_o father_n testify_v it_o mat._n 3.17_o the_o church_n acknowledge_v it_o matth._n 16.16_o and_o the_o devil_n confess_v it_o luke_n 4.41_o but_o who_o do_v you_o think_v of_o these_o be_v first_o god_n the_o father_n or_o god_n the_o son_n paulus_n there_o be_v a_o question_n indeed_o sure_o the_o father_n must_v be_v before_o the_o son_n evangelus_n yea_o friend_n that_o be_v true_a it_o be_v so_o in_o natural_a generation_n humane_a but_o here_o it_o be_v not_o for_o christ_n jesus_n be_v coeternal_a with_o his_o father_n and_o equal_a with_o he_o in_o power_n and_o glory_n paulus_n this_o will_v not_o stand_v by_o reason_n evangelus_n divine_a mystery_n be_v not_o to_o be_v apprehend_v by_o carnal_a reason_n for_o he_o who_o will_v see_v by_o a_o eye_n of_o faith_n must_v shu●_n out_o the_o eye_n of_o reason_n and_o what_o think_v you_o now_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n paulus_n why_o i_o suppose_v he_o be_v god_n too_o be_v he_o not_o evangelus_n yes_o he_o be_v so_o see_v 1_o john_n 5.7_o for_o there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v record_n in_o heaven_n the_o father_n word_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o these_o three_o be_v one_o paulus_n nay_o this_o be_v very_o evident_a you_o bring_v scripture_n i_o say_v to_o prove_v what_o you_o say_v evangelus_n well_o if_o so_o be_v you_o do_v believe_v what_o i_o have_v say_v concern_v the_o bless_a trinity_n say_v with_o i_o god_n the_o father_n god_n the_o son_n and_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o these_o three_o be_v one_o paulus_n god_n the_o father_n god_n the_o son_n and_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o these_o three_o be_v one_o evangelus_n right_o what_o think_v you_o now_o of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n do_v god_n make_v the_o world_n of_o something_o or_o of_o nothing_o fit_n paulus_n of_o something_o sure_o for_o out_o of_o nothing_o nothing_o can_v be_v make_v evangelus_n friend_n what_o do_v you_o think_v creation_n signify_v paulus_n true_o i_o know_v not_o very_o well_o evangelus_n why_o it_o signify_v a_o make_v all_o thing_n of_o nothing_o paulus_n say_v you_o so_o evangelus_n yea_o and_o have_v you_o not_o read_v that_o the_o world_n be_v make_v only_o by_o the_o especial_a word_n of_o his_o power_n dicitur_fw-la not_o that_o we_o shall_v understand_v that_o any_o word_n do_v real_o proceed_v from_o god_n but_o only_o that_o he_o will_v it_o paulus_n do_v god_n do_v you_o say_v only_a speak●_n th●_n word_n and_o be_v this_o world_n make_v i_o can_v believe_v this_o except_o you_o bring_v i_o scripture_n evangelus_n if_o
