god_n 34._o that_o the_o truth_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n itself_o be_v hide_v and_o couch_v under_o mighty_a parable_n for_o without_o a_o parable_n speak_v he_o nothing_o unto_o they_o and_o indeed_o without_o parable_n can_v we_o not_o have_v the_o truth_n as_o we_o can_v have_v meat_n without_o excrement_n for_o in_o all_o the_o meat_n we_o eat_v there_o be_v abundance_n of_o excrement_n to_o a_o very_a little_a nourishment_n the_o great_a part_n though_o never_o so_o refine_v and_o decoct_v be_v excrement_n and_o so_o i_o say_v of_o the_o letter_n the_o letter_n compare_v with_o the_o spirit_n be_v but_o the_o shel_n the_o excrement_n the_o outward_a husk_n of_o the_o word_n and_o we_o have_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o excrement_n and_o husk_n and_o shell_n that_o do_v we_o no_o good_a at_o all_o to_o a_o very_a little_a meat_n for_o you_o know_v excrement_n do_v not_o nourish_v at_o all_o that_o come_v away_o again_o and_o go_v into_o the_o draught_n as_o our_o saviour_n say_v yet_o we_o may_v not_o abhor_v nor_o undervalue_v the_o excrement_n of_o the_o word_n because_o it_o be_v excrement_n for_o we_o can_v have_v the_o meat_n thereof_o without_o excrement_n for_o that_o which_o be_v excrement_n do_v but_o serve_v to_o convey_v the_o nourishment_n into_o the_o body_n god_n can_v not_o possible_o speak_v to_o we_o nor_o convey_v his_o word_n but_o by_o the_o excrement_n of_o the_o letter_n as_o he_o have_v do_v something_o must_v be_v present_v to_o our_o eye_n and_o ear_n external_o that_o we_o may_v conceive_v what_o be_v do_v internal_o for_o if_o almighty_a god_n shall_v have_v speak_v as_o he_o will_v have_v speak_v we_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v able_a to_o have_v hear_v he_o for_o he_o shall_v have_v quite_o undo_v our_o understanding_n as_o the_o sun_n shine_v to_o we_o and_o give_v we_o light_v at_o such_o a_o distance_n and_o through_o so_o many_o element_n air_n and_o cloud_n and_o mereor_n and_o many_o such_o interruption_n so_o many_o thousand_o mile_n of_o distance_n which_o keep_v his_o own_o perfect_a and_o full_a lustre_n glory_n and_o brightness_n from_o we_o for_o if_o it_o shall_v not_o do_v so_o we_o shall_v be_v quite_o blind_v and_o our_o sight_n destroy_v by_o it_o for_o we_o have_v much_o ado_n the_o strongest-sighed_n man_n that_o be_v to_o behold_v and_o look_v upon_o the_o sun_n at_o that_o distance_n as_o it_o be_v what_o shall_v we_o do_v then_o if_o these_o thing_n and_o such_o a_o distance_n interpose_v not_o themselves_o between_o our_o sight_n and_o the_o sun_n so_o if_o our_o great_a and_o almighty_a god_n shall_v speak_v to_o we_o in_o a_o spiritual_a way_n and_o as_o himself_o will_v speak_v if_o he_o shall_v shine_v into_o we_o in_o the_o least_o part_n of_o his_o own_o splendour_n and_o glory_n all_o our_o sight_n all_o our_o apprehension_n of_o he_o will_v be_v quite_o put_v out_o he_o will_v utter_o destroy_v our_o sight_n and_o we_o shall_v be_v quite_o swallow_v up_o for_o we_o can_v possible_o see_v god_n nor_o hear_v god_n but_o only_o in_o that_o way_n that_o he_o have_v already_o speak_v to_o we_o but_o happy_a be_v that_o man_n who_o get_v not_o the_o excrement_n but_o the_o nourishment_n of_o the_o scripture_n and_o i_o pray_v you_o for_o all_o this_o which_o i_o have_v say_v to_o magnify_v the_o spirit_n above_o the_o letter_n let_v we_o be_v so_o far_o from_o throw_v away_o the_o letter_n that_o you_o rather_o infinite_o bless_v god_n for_o it_o and_o be_v very_o thankful_a to_o he_o that_o he_o have_v so_o far_o condescend_v to_o stoop_v so_o low_a to_o our_o weak_a capacity_n that_o we_o may_v come_v as_o we_o be_v able_a to_o receive_v the_o knowledge_n of_o he_o who_o be_v our_o happiness_n and_o eternal_a life_n o_o praise_v his_o infinite_a goodness_n for_o ever_o that_o the_o mighty_a strong_a infinite_a wise_a creator_n have_v be_v please_v so_o far_o to_o abase_v himself_o as_o to_o deal_v with_o we_o as_o with_o babe_n for_o we_o be_v no_o better_o that_o he_o the_o mighty_a jehovah_n be_v become_v weak_a to_o the_o weak_a that_o he_o have_v make_v himself_o a_o babe_n to_o we_o babe_n oh_o be_v amaze_v and_o astonish_v at_o it_o for_o ever_o and_o fall_v down_o continual_o before_o his_o footstool_n with_o all_o tremble_a and_o fear_n st._n paul_n 1._o who_o be_v but_o a_o man_n tell_v the_o corinthian_n that_o he_o can_v not_o speak_v unto_o they_o as_o spiritual_a man_n how_o then_o can_v god_n himself_o speak_v to_o they_o as_o spiritual_a or_o they_o to_o bear_v his_o word_n if_o we_o can_v bear_v the_o word_n of_o a_o weak_a frail_a man_n how_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o bear_v the_o word_n of_o god_n himself_o as_o the_o poet_n fain_o of_o their_o god_n jupiter_n and_o his_o wife_n juno_n a_o certain_a woman_n desire_v of_o juno_n that_o she_o may_v but_o lie_v with_o jupiter_n in_o all_o his_o glory_n and_o majesty_n she_o answer_v o_o woman_n thou_o have_v ask_v

they_o intend_v as_o much_o as_o ignorant_a as_o you_o conceive_v they_o to_o be_v though_o to_o the_o common_a people_n they_o speak_v after_o this_o manner_n covert_o by_o similitude_n and_o comparison_n for_o there_o be_v not_o one_o of_o all_o the_o learned_a but_o know_v that_o such_o a_o one_o must_v the_o true_a god_n be_v neither_o let_v we_o be_v so_o simple_a as_o to_o think_v that_o they_o think_v these_o to_o be_v god_n or_o that_o their_o god_n and_o goddess_n be_v so_o wicked_a as_o to_o be_v adulterer_n or_o the_o like_a they_o be_v not_o so_o sottish_a but_o they_o hide_v and_o couch_v the_o truth_n under_o these_o shadow_n so_o god_n almighty_a even_o our_o god_n who_o be_v the_o true_a god_n if_o he_o shall_v speak_v unto_o we_o as_o he_o be_v in_o himself_o what_o creature_n can_v stand_v before_o he_o he_o will_v speak_v all_o the_o world_n to_o powder_v to_o nothing_o for_o if_o he_o have_v please_v he_o can_v have_v speak_v all_o truth_n in_o one_o word_n but_o where_o have_v be_v auditor_n to_o have_v hear_v or_o understand_v that_o word_n as_o when_o the_o people_n murmur_v against_o moses_n and_o aaron_n 3._o and_o be_v divide_v against_o they_o and_o for_o they_o they_o think_v that_o all_o the_o people_n of_o god_n be_v holy_a and_o moses_n and_o aaron_n take_v too_o much_o upon_o they_o and_o god_n can_v speak_v by_o they_o as_o well_o as_o by_o moses_n and_o aaron_n 19_o but_o as_o soon_o as_o god_n begin_v to_o show_v himself_o in_o his_o power_n and_o majesty_n they_o all_o tremble_v and_o be_v not_o able_a to_o stand_v before_o he_o and_o again_o when_o the_o people_n think_v they_o will_v go_v up_o to_o the_o mountain_n as_o well_o as_o moses_n well_o say_v moses_n if_o you_o will_v do_v but_o as_o soon_o they_o draw_v near_o to_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o mountain_n and_o the_o storm_n begin_v but_o to_o arise_v and_o they_o hear_v the_o thunder_n and_o the_o lightning_n and_o the_o terrible_a noise_n and_o the_o trumpet_n sound_v loud_o and_o loud_o than_o they_o begin_v to_o tremble_v and_o fear_v 16._o and_o pray_v that_o god_n will_v not_o speak_v unto_o they_o lest_o we_o die_v say_v they_o but_o let_v moses_n speak_v to_o we_o for_o we_o can_v hear_v he_o brethren_n know_v this_o for_o a_o undeniable_a truth_n that_o in_o god_n word_n there_o be_v such_o a_o depth_n of_o light_n and_o of_o glory_n such_o ravish_a profoundness_n that_o will_v serve_v all_o the_o man_n that_o ever_o be_v be_v &_o shall_v be_v yea_o all_o the_o divine_n and_o people_n of_o god_n through_o all_o

give_v we_o the_o norishment_n he_o be_v fain_o to_o give_v we_o with_o it_o the_o excrement_n which_o he_o will_v not_o do_v if_o we_o can_v receive_v the_o nutriment_n alone_o for_o say_v the_o
