to_o speak_v with_o tongue_n out_o of_o the_o mysterium_fw-la but_o the_o will-spirit_n ought_v well_o to_o look_v to_o itself_o that_o the_o outward_a spirit_n do_v not_o go_v too_o high_a and_o

speak_v with_o the_o outward_a mouth_n out_o of_o divine_a tongue_n the_o holy_a ghost_n must_v go_v upon_o the_o wing_n of_o the_o wind_n and_o direct_v the_o understanding_n that_o the_o mind_n may_v find_v it_o experimental_o for_o the_o certainty_n must_v be_v in_o the_o mind_n 89._o the_o prophet_n that_o speak_v be_v not_o the_o assurance_n for_o the_o speak_v out_o of_o two_o tongue_n as_o out_o of_o the_o turba_n of_o the_o wickedness_n of_o man_n which_o he_o reprove_v and_o also_o out_o of_o the_o love_n out_o of_o christ_n humanity_n and_o show_v the_o right_a way_n 90._o now_o
