then_o a_o man_n be_v dead_a when_o as_o the_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n so_o a_o man_n be_v spiritual_o dead_a when_o as_o the_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o quicken_a spirit_n of_o grace_n and_o righteousness_n 1●_n this_o be_v all_o our_o case_n in_o we_o there_o dwell_v no_o good_a there_o be_v no_o spirit_n of_o life_n within_o we_o the_o soul_n be_v so_o out_o of_o order_n that_o the_o spirit_n be_v weary_a of_o it_o and_o forsake_v it_o when_o the_o body_n grow_v distemper_v and_o unfit_a for_o the_o soul_n to_o use_v than_o the_o soul_n leave_v it_o even_o as_o when_o the_o instrument_n be_v quite_o out_o of_o tune_n a_o man_n lay_v it_o aside_o while_o it_o be_v in_o tune_n he_o play_v on_o it_o so_o a_o man_n dwell_v in_o a_o house_n as_o

by_o sin_n the_o holy_a ghost_n remove_v you_o may_v see_v it_o in_o adam_n as_o soon_o as_o he_o do_v eat_v of_o the_o forbid_a fruit_n the_o holy_a ghost_n leave_v he_o and_o he_o lose_v his_o
