which_o be_v know_v to_o god_n 5._o and_o now_o be_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o seven_o form_n of_o nature_n we_o see_v that_o the_o corporeity_n especial_o subsi_v therein_o for_o a_o spirit_n be_v

for_o if_o i_o have_v or_o not_o or_o or_o purpose_v not_o conceive_v no_o will_n to_o go_v my_o body_n stand_v still_o therefore_o my_o will_n carry_v i_o and_o if_o i_o have_v no_o desire_n

7._o and_o yet_o the_o essence_n desire_v nothing_o but_o preservation_n and_o sustenance_n of_o the_o body_n for_o the_o body_n be_v food_n and_o the_o whole_a essence_n of_o all_o essence_n be_v a_o continual_a hunger_n and_o satiate_a or_o fulfil_n and_o a_o regeneration_n or_o propagation_n from_o its_o fullness_n as_o may_v be_v see_v that_o each_o form_n of_o the_o spirit_n desire_v the_o

and_o there_o now_o they_o stand_v in_o six_o form_n one_o in_o another_o 8._o and_o so_o there_o be_v no_o place_n of_o rest_n but_o there_o be_v a_o constant_a desire_n of_o all_o the_o six_o form_n as_o a_o hunger_n out_o of_o which_o the_o will_n be_v continual_o generate_v and_o yet_o there_o be_v nothing_o wherein_o rest_n can_v be_v but_o the_o still_a eternity_n and_o yet_o also_o this_o can_v be_v apprehend_v or_o find_v in_o the_o wheel_n of_o the_o fiery_a essence_n and_o therefore_o the_o hungry_a nature_n seek_v in_o its_o mother_n viz._n in_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o sourness_n and_o the_o sourness_n catch_v hold_v of_o the_o desire_n of_o the_o essence_n and_o hold_v it_o fast_o and_o thus_o all_o essence_n of_o the_o hunger_n be_v hold_v in_o the_o sour_a mother_n for_o she_o be_v their_o only_a rest_n which_o they_o fill_v again_o with_o that_o which_o be_v in_o they_o that_o be_v with_o themselves_o 9_o and_o herein_o consist_v the_o dominion_n of_o a_o spirit_n for_o nature_n do_v consist_v not_o only_o in_o seven_o form_n but_o there_o may_v out_o of_o every_o desire_n again_o a_o will_v be_v generate_v wherein_o the_o essence_n subsist_v again_o but_o

eternal_a essence_n do_v desire_v a_o certain_a circumscription_n certain_a mark_v or_o pitch_n of_o circumscription_n bind_v or_o limit_n further_o and_o more_o than_o which_o or_o to_o go_v high_o or_o to_o be_v other_o it_o desire_v not_o therefore_o the_o heart_n generate_v itself_o which_o be_v the_o end_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o heart_n be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o eternal_a be_v essence_n or_o substance_n 11._o and_o the_o heart_n be_v not_o comprehensible_a by_o nature_n but_o nature_n remain_v in_o the_o darkness_n in_o itself_o and_o the_o heart_n remain_v in_o itself_o in_o the_o light_n and_o neither_o will_v be_v manifest_a without_o the_o other_o and_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o continual_a hunger_n in_o they_o both_o for_o both_o have_v wrought_v from_o eternity_n viz._n light_n and_o darkness_n 12._o now_o thus_o we_o see_v in_o the_o angelical_a world_n as_o also_o in_o this_o world_n that_o the_o seven_o form_n of_o nature_n be_v a_o essential_a a_o or_o

find_v that_o the_o corporeity_n the_o the_o corporeity_n same_o stand_v also_o in_o two_o form_n one_o in_o the_o darkness_n the_o other_o in_o the_o light_n and_o yet_o they_o belong_v not_o to_o the_o birth_n of_o the_o darkness_n and_o of_o the_o light_n but_o they_o be_v the_o body_n or_o comprehensibility_n the_o most_o mighty_a gate_n in_o the_o centre_n high_o to_o be_v consider_v 13._o this_o we_o demonstrate_v to_o you_o in_o light_n and_o darkness_n for_o we_o can_v say_v that_o the_o darkness_n be_v the_o source_n or_o property_n but_o the_o darkness_n begirt_v darkness_n

therefore_o the_o desire_v labour_v so_o eager_o after_o the_o liberty_n till_o the_o anguish_n in_o the_o sharp_a desire_v attain_v desire_v espi_v or_o attain_v discover_v the_o liberty_n in_o
