9_o moreover_o you_o know_v that_o the_o apostle_n paul_n before_o his_o conversion_n be_v a_o very_a able_a man_n in_o the_o letter_n of_o moses_n and_o the_o prophet_n yea_o and_o according_a to_o

that_o second_o man_n which_o be_v the_o lord_n from_o heaven_n 10_o it_o be_v truth_n that_o when_o the_o apostle_n preach_v the_o spiritual_a thing_n of_o eternity_n they_o allude_v unto_o moses_n and_o the_o true_a prophet_n because_o some_o of_o those_o mystery_n be_v fore-prophesied_n of_o by_o they_o but_o yet_o you_o may_v see_v that_o they_o be_v not_o instruct_v in_o those_o heavenly_a thing_n by_o virtue_n of_o their_o prophetical_a letter_n but_o as_o beforesaid_a by_o inspiration_n from_o the_o holy_a spirit_n only_o 11_o thus_o you_o that_o be_v spiritual_a may_v clear_o see_v that_o no_o man_n by_o his_o natural_a reason_n and_o study_v in_o the_o letter_n of_o the_o scripture_n can_v ever_o be_v establish_v in_o the_o truth_n of_o those_o glorious_a thing_n unto_o which_o

of_o the_o glorious_a brightness_n of_o the_o judge_n face_n or_o person_n and_o his_o angelical_a attendance_n and_o also_o because_o it_o be_v the_o dreadful_a general_a appearance_n of_o mankind_n

thus_o you_o that_o have_v never_o so_o little_a truth_n of_o the_o true_a jesus_n in_o you_o may_v clear_o see_v that_o the_o apostle_n peter_n in_o this_o threefold_a language_n have_v not_o the_o

thereof_o without_o man_n which_o be_v the_o fruit_n of_o man_n handiwork_n why_o because_o you_o see_v the_o apostle_n ground_n his_o matter_n upon_o the_o drown_n of_o a_o outward_a earthly_a world_n 10_o moreover_o you_o may_v also_o know_v that_o it_o be_v a_o burn_a up_o of_o a_o visible_a heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o the_o glory_n thereof_o mean_v by_o peter_n why_o because_o the_o

if_o it_o have_v be_v a_o invisible_a burn_a up_o the_o fleshly_a heaven_n in_o man_n only_o what_o lustful_a man_n in_o the_o world_n will_v have_v scoff_v at_o such_o a_o doctrine_n which_o do_v encourage_v he_o in_o his_o lust_n rather_o than_o discourage_v he_o in_o the_o least_o 12_o if_o you_o ask_v i_o the_o reason_n my_o ground_n be_v this_o because_o by_o lustful_a serpent_n like_o himself_o he_o be_v persuade_v that_o christ_n will_v burn_v up_o man_n lust_n and_o save_v all_o their_o soul_n at_o the_o last_o and_o who_o can_v find_v fault_n with_o such_o a_o burn_a doctrine_n

on_o his_o throne_n i_o say_v these_o or_o such_o like_a expression_n the_o most_o filthy_a of_o man_n can_v hear_v with_o delight_n 14_o moreover_o if_o you_o that_o speak_v in_o lumberstreet_n or_o
