which_o he_o be_v about_o and_o afterward_o repent_v because_o he_o do_v amiss_o thus_o both_o doubt_v and_o sadness_n hurt_v the_o holy_a spirit_n doubt_v because_o his_o work_n do_v not_o succeed_v

they_o can_v not_o otherwise_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n but_o by_o lay_v aside_o the_o mortality_n of_o their_o former_a life_n they_o therefore_o be_v dead_a be_v nevertheless_o seal_v with_o the_o seal_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o so_o enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n for_o before_o a_o man_n receive_v the_o name_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n he_o be_v ordain_v unto_o death_n but_o when_o he_o receive_v the_o seal_n he_o be_v free_v from_o death_n and_o deliver_v unto_o life_n now_o that_o seal_n be_v water_n into_o which_o man_n go_v down_o under_o the_o obligation_n unto_o death_n but_o come_v up_o appoint_v unto_o life_n wherefore_o to_o those_o also_o be_v this_o seal_n 19_o preach_v and_o they_o make_v use_v of_o it_o that_o they_o may_v enter_v into_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n and_o i_o say_v why_o then_o sir_n do_v these_o forty_o stone_n also_o ascend_v with_o they_o out_o of_o the_o deep_a have_v already_o receive_v that_o seal_n he_o answer_v vi_fw-la because_o these_o apostle_n and_o teacher_n who_o preach_v the_o name_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n die_v after_o they_o have_v receive_v his_o faith_n and_o power_n preach_v to_o they_o who_o be_v dead_a before_o and_o they_o give_v this_o seal_n to_o they_o they_o go_v down_o therefore_o into_o the_o water_n with_o they_o and_o again_o come_v up_o but_o these_o go_v down_o alive_a whereas_o those_o who_o be_v before_o dead_a go_v down_o dead_a but_o come_v up_o alive_a through_o these_o therefore_o they_o receive_v life_n and_o know_v the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o which_o cause_n they_o come_v up_o with_o they_o and_o agree_v in_o the_o building_n of_o the_o tower_n and_o be_v not_o cut_v but_o put_v in_o entire_a because_o they_o die_v in_o great_a purity_n be_v full_a of_o righteousness_n only_o this_o seal_n be_v want_v to_o they_o thus_o you_o have_v the_o explication_n of_o these_o thing_n xvii_o i_o answer_v sir_n tell_v i_o now_o what_o concern_v those_o mountain_n why_o they_o be_v so_o different_a some_o of_o one_o form_n and_o some_o of_o another_o hear_v say_v he_o these_o twelve_o mountain_n which_o thou_o see_v be_v twelve_o nation_n which_o make_v up_o the_o whole_a world_n wherefore_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v preach_v to_o they_o by_o those_o who_o he_o send_v unto_o they_o but_o why_o say_v i_o be_v they_o different_a and_o every_o one_o of_o a_o several_a figure_n he_o reply_v harken_v those_o twelve_o nation_n which_o possess_v the_o whole_a world_n be_v twelve_o peoples_n and_o as_o thou_o have_v behold_v these_o mountain_n different_a so_o be_v they_o i_o will_v therefore_o open_v to_o thou_o the_o mean_v and_o action_n of_o every_o mountain_n but_o first_o sir_n say_v i_o show_v i_o this_o see_v these_o mountain_n be_v so_o different_a how_o have_v they_o agree_v into_o the_o building_n of_o this_o tower_n and_o be_v no_o less_o bright_a than_o those_o which_o come_v out_o of_o the_o deep_a because_o reply_v he_o all_o the_o nation_n under_o heaven_n that_o have_v hear_v and_o believe_v have_v be_v call_v in_o the_o same_o one_o name_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n wherefore_o have_v receive_v his_o seal_n they_o have_v all_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o the_o same_o prudence_n and_o sense_n knowledge_n and_o their_o faith_n and_o charity_n have_v be_v the_o same_o and_o they_o have_v carry_v the_o spirit_n of_o these_o virgin_n with_o his_o name_n and_o therefore_o the_o building_n of_o this_o tower_n seem_v of_o the_o same_o colour_n and_o do_v shine_v like_o the_o brightness_n of_o the_o sun_n howbeit_o after_o that_o they_o be_v thus_o persuade_v and_o that_o there_o begin_v to_o be_v one_o body_n of_o they_o all_o some_o among_o they_o pollute_v themselves_o and_o be_v cast_v off_o from_o the_o generation_n of_o the_o righteous_a and_o again_o return_v to_o their_o former_a state_n and_o become_v even_o worse_o than_o they_o be_v before_o xviii_o how_o say_v i_o sir_n be_v they_o worse_o who_o know_v the_o lord_n he_o answer_v if_o he_o who_o know_v not_o the_o lord_n live_v wicked_o the_o punishment_n of_o his_o wickedness_n attend_v he_o but_o he_o who_o have_v know_v the_o lord_n aught_o to_o abstain_v altogether_o from_o all_o wickedness_n and_o more_o and_o more_o be_v the_o servant_n of_o righteousness_n and_o do_v not_o he_o then_o seem_v to_o thou_o to_o sin_v more_o who_o ought_v to_o follow_v goodness_n if_o he_o shall_v prefer_v the_o part_n of_o sin_n than_o he_o who_o offend_v without_o know_v the_o virtue_n of_o god_n wherefore_o these_o be_v indeed_o ordain_v unto_o death_n but_o they_o who_o have_v know_v the_o lord_n and_o have_v see_v his_o wonderful_a work_n if_o they_o shall_v live_v wicked_o they_o shall_v be_v double_o punish_v and_o shall_v die_v for_o ever_o as_o therefore_o thou_o have_v see_v that_o after_o the_o stone_n be_v cast_v out_o of_o the_o tower_n which_o have_v be_v reject_v they_o be_v deliver_v to_o wicked_a and_o cruel_a spirit_n and_o thou_o behold_v the_o tower_n so_o cleanse_v as_o if_o it_o have_v all_o be_v make_v of_o one_o stone_n viij_o so_o the_o church_n of_o god_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v purify_v the_o wicked_a and_o counterfeit_n the_o mischievous_a and_o doubtful_a and_o all_o that_o have_v behave_v themselves_o wicked_o in_o it_o and_o commit_v divers_a kind_n of_o sin_n be_v cast_v out_o shall_v become_v one_o body_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v one_o understanding_n one_o opinion_n one_o faith_n and_o the_o same_o charity_n then_o shall_v the_o son_n of_o god_n rejoice_v among_o they_o and_o shall_v receive_v his_o people_n with_o a_o pure_a will._n and_o i_o say_v sir_n all_z these_o thing_n be_v great_a and_o honourable_a but_o now_o show_v unto_o i_o the_o effect_n and_o force_n of_o every_o mountain_n that_o every_o soul_n which_o trust_v in_o the_o lord_n when_o it_o shall_v hear_v these_o thing_n many_o honour_n his_o great_a and_o wonderful_a and_o holy_a name_n hear_v say_v he_o the_o variety_n of_o these_o mountain_n that_o be_v of_o the_o twelve_o nation_n xix_o they_o who_o have_v believe_v of_o the_o first_o mountain_n which_o be_v black_a be_v those_o who_o have_v revolt_v from_o the_o faith_n and_o speak_v wicked_a thing_n against_o the_o lord_n and_o betray_v the_o servant_n of_o god_n to_o these_o death_n be_v propose_v but_o there_o
