A33370	A paradisical dialogue betwixt faith and reason disputing the high mysterious secrets of eternity, the like never extant in our revelation. As touching God in eternity, how he became time in flesh, and how he dyed in the grave, and ascended to his glory again. Also what the angels are in form and nature, and how the angel became a devil, and that devil man; and that this world was prepared for the devil, so this the devils kingdom; and what the soul is, with the place of its glory and torment. With a brief narration what a commission is, and how many commissions there are; what the difference of their worships, and how that the law was given to the devil; with a brief discourse on the catechism, the Lords Prayer, and the creeds; as also, a divine prospect to the elect of the Lord. Written by Law. Claxton, the onely true bishop and faithful messenger of Christ Jesus, creator of heaven and earth.	Claxton, Laurence, 1615-1667.	1660 (1660)	Wing C4581; ESTC R215220	88,691	122

have_v see_v in_o my_o own_o soul_n as_o the_o tide_n do_v ebb_n and_o flow_v into_o the_o ocean_n so_o do_v the_o revelation_n of_o faith_n ascend_v and_o descend_v behold_v the_o glorious_a throne_n

this_o be_v the_o meaning_n i_o be_o the_o beginning_n and_o end_n of_o the_o creation_n so_o that_o without_o i_o the_o world_n with_o all_o creature_n therein_o have_v no_o beginning_n nor_o no_o

spirit_n also_o and_o yet_o the_o nature_n soul_n or_o spirit_n of_o either_o god_n angel_n or_o man_n can_v be_v worship_v without_o a_o body_n for_o there_o be_v no_o spirit_n whether_o immortal_a

so_o be_v his_o body_n immortal_a glorious_a also_o and_o if_o its_o spirit_n be_v mortal_a earthly_a so_o be_v its_o body_n mortal_a earthly_a also_o and_o this_o i_o say_v all_o body_n whether_o

save_v he_o that_o have_v it_o so_o that_o i_o say_v if_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n without_o body_n he_o can_v not_o be_v see_v so_o not_o worship_v no_o more_o than_o a_o king_n spirit_n without_o a_o
