soulish_a body_n of_o he_o who_o receive_v it_o and_o because_o these_o out-going_a spiritual_a ideal_o being_n be_v not_o mere_a spirit_n but_o spiritual_a body_n and_o bodily_a spirit_n as_o be_v

many_o of_o these_o spiritual_a body_n must_v needs_o have_v fly_v forth_o from_o he_o during_o the_o time_n of_o his_o life_n see_v that_o as_o have_v be_v elsewhere_o hint_v every_o three_o month_n the_o whole_a man_n be_v total_o renew_v in_o all_o his_o part_n all_o which_o part_n or_o spiritual_a body_n which_o flow_v forth_o in_o the_o time_n of_o these_o three_o month_n belong_v to_o the_o

of_o man_n such_o a_o total_a ideal_o man_n go_v forth_o and_o yet_o these_o altogether_o make_v up_o but_o one_o man_n though_o there_o be_v a_o very_a great_a difference_n between_o they_o so_o as_o

always_o continue_v in_o these_o state_n of_o imperfection_n or_o whether_o or_o no_o there_o be_v a_o way_n whereby_o they_o may_v be_v advance_v to_o their_o perfection_n and_o so_o become_v right_o

they_o must_v so_o oft_o perform_v their_o revolution_n in_o this_o world_n until_o they_o attain_v to_o their_o due_a perfection_n 7_o q._n forasmuch_o then_o as_o every_o man_n in_o manner_n as_o be_v show_v before_o do_v send_v forth_o this_o spiritual_a ideal_o image_n of_o himself_o as_o a_o spiritual_a body_n or_o bodily_a spirit_n from_o himself_o into_o another_o man_n or_o thing_n which_o he_o lay_v hold_v of_o with_o any_o of_o his_o sense_n and_o at_o the_o same_o time_n receive_v a_o like_a image_n flow_v forth_o from_o the_o person_n or_o any_o other_o thing_n he_o have_v lay_v hold_v off_o so_o that_o every_o one_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o uncessant_a give_v forth_o and_o receive_v in_o again_o forasmuch_o as_o he_o continual_o give_v forth_o his_o own_o image_n and_o again_o take_v in_o and_o receive_v the_o image_n of_o every_o object_n and_o see_v moreover_o that_o this_o out_o flow_a idea_n be_v take_v in_o by_o the_o receive_a party_n with_o great_a lust_n and_o desire_n as_o if_o it_o be_v draw_v in_o by_o a_o magnet_n so_o that_o he_o become_v enamour_v of_o the_o beauty_n of_o the_o say_a image_n which_o take_v so_o much_o the_o deep_a root_n in_o he_o and_o become_v more_o powerful_a and_o operative_a in_o he_o by_o how_o much_o the_o more_o he_o love_v the_o same_o so_o that_o his_o central_n spirit_n do_v image_n himself_o with_o it_o how_o can_v then_o this_o forementioned_a give_v out_o and_o receive_v when_o it_o happen_v in_o due_a likeness_n and_o equality_n be_v any_o thing_n else_o but_o love_n itself_o in_o such_o a_o degree_n as_o the_o reception_n be_v now_o as_o the_o sense_n of_o man_n through_o which_o this_o image_n or_o spiritual_a body_n and_o out_o go_v spiritual_a feed_n be_v convey_v into_o man_n can_v

now_o it_o be_v evident_a from_o luke_n 1._o 5._o &_o 36._o that_o mary_n of_o who_o christ_n be_v bear_v be_v of_o the_o tribe_n of_o levi_n that_o so_o the_o messiah_n may_v at_o once_o be_v both_o

also_o a_o son_n of_o joseph_n who_o be_v of_o the_o house_n of_o david_n how_o shall_v we_o ever_o be_v able_a to_o make_v out_o that_o our_o saviour_n be_v a_o true_a son_n of_o david_n and_o consequent_o the_o true_a messiah_n beside_o how_o shall_v we_o else_o be_v able_a with_o wisdom_n and_o exactness_n to_o make_v up_o the_o number_n of_o the_o fourteen_o generation_n mention_v mat._n

the_o reason_n why_o our_o saviour_n in_o the_o
the_o sun_n or_o common_a fire_n in_o these_o part_n for_o if_o we_o take_v clear_a rain-water_n and_o put_v it_o into_o a_o well_o close_v glass_n and_o set_v it_o for_o a_o long_a time_n in_o the_o

when_o it_o rain_v and_o the_o rain-water_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o nearness_n of_o the_o quicksand_n can_v sink_v deep_a in_o the_o earth_n the_o water_n stand_v in_o pool_n and_o when_o the_o sun_n

all_o these_o instance_n we_o may_v undeniable_o conclude_v that_o the_o live_n and_o vivify_a heat_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v in_o itself_o a_o true_a spiritual_a essence_n and_o that_o out_o of_o the_o
