will_v suppose_v there_o be_v a_o law_n in_o the_o commerce_n of_o spirit_n and_o man_n that_o a_o spirit_n must_v present_v himself_o under_o the_o shape_n of_o some_o visible_a thing_n for_o as_o

by_o this_o time_n you_o see_v the_o difficulty_n of_o the_o question_n be_v ease_v now_o it_o appear_v why_o eve_n wonder_v not_o to_o see_v a_o spirit_n speak_v unto_o she_o in_o the_o shape_n of_o
