from_o his_o glorious_a kingdom_n above_o the_o star_n question_n if_o this_o be_v infallible_a what_o you_o have_v here_o write_v then_o may_v you_o ask_v i_o how_o come_v it_o the_o learned_a of_o this_o world_n can_v not_o as_o well_o as_o this_o witness_n make_v know_v this_o hide_a divine_a secret_n see_v they_o give_v themselves_o whole_o to_o find_v out_o the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o the_o scripture_n answ_n what_o ever_o the_o learned_a of_o this_o world_n dream_n of_o find_v out_o the_o invisible_a thing_n of_o eternity_n by_o search_v into_o scripture_n record_n and_o compare_v they_o together_o yet_o know_v this_o the_o divine_a majesty_n have_v lock_v up_o all_o the_o principal_a secret_n of_o the_o scripture_n in_o his_o own_o spiritual_a breast_n that_o he_o by_o a_o immediate_a inspiration_n may_v dispose_v of_o they_o into_o the_o spirit_n of_o elect_a man_n and_o angel_n most_o advantageous_a for_o his_o own_o glory_n and_o their_o consolation_n therefore_o mind_n what_o you_o read_v and_o serious_o observe_v that_o the_o scripture_n run_v not_o in_o the_o line_n of_o reason_n but_o in_o the_o line_n of_o faith_n inspiration_n or_o revelation_n according_a to_o those_o say_n in_o the_o hebrew_n and_o other_o record_n by_o faith_n the_o divine_a work_n of_o creation_n and_o wonderful_a mystery_n of_o redemption_n be_v and_o be_v know_v with_o the_o immortal_a eternal_a glory_n and_o everlasting_a shame_n of_o man_n person_n in_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n but_o of_o the_o contrary_a you_o shall_v never_o read_v in_o any_o place_n of_o scripture_n that_o any_o man_n in_o the_o least_o know_v the_o thing_n of_o eternal_a glory_n by_o any_o kind_n of_o rational_a comprehension_n wharsoever_o i_o confess_v the_o natural_a reason_n of_o man_n be_v a_o very_a good_a handmaid_n if_o it_o be_v well_o qualify_v with_o the_o spiritual_a dame_n of_o divine_a faith_n for_o illustrate_v of_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n unto_o weak_a comprehension_n but_o as_o for_o true_o understand_v the_o invisible_a thing_n of_o god_n by_o the_o high_a reason_n that_o ever_o be_v in_o man_n or_o angel_n it_o be_v utter_o impossible_a as_o beforesaid_a and_o that_o because_o though_o the_o spirit_n of_o reason_n be_v never_o so_o pure_a yet_o you_o may_v know_v reason_n nature_n be_v but_o a_o desire_n after_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n of_o that_o spirit_n from_o whence_o reason_n have_v its_o live_a being_n but_o of_o the_o contrary_a spiritual_a truth_n or_o faith_n be_v of_o the_o divine_a nature_n of_o god_n himself_o and_o therefore_o in_o what_o soul_n soever_o that_o heavenly_a seed_n be_v sow_o it_o spring_v up_o in_o that_o spirit_n all_o variety_n of_o divine_a knowledge_n with_o glorious_a rapture_n in_o reference_n unto_o life_n eternal_a by_o virtue_n of_o a_o intercourse_n with_o the_o eternal_a spirit_n from_o whence_o it_o come_v moreover_o i_o confess_v a_o man_n that_o be_v endue_v with_o a_o solomon-like_a gift_n of_o natural_a reason_n may_v be_v able_a to_o comprehend_v all_o word_n whether_o they_o be_v speak_v in_o a_o good_a form_n sense_n or_o language_n or_o no_o yea_o and_o such_o a_o man_n may_v be_v mighty_a in_o dispute_n about_o the_o glorious_a thing_n of_o eternity_n but_o as_o for_o thy_o real_a understanding_n whether_o there_o be_v or_o be_v any_o such_o eternal_a thing_n or_o no_o thou_o have_v no_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o that_o at_o all_o but_o thy_o bare_a thought_n only_o which_o if_o equal_o weigh_v in_o that_o balance_n it_o may_v be_v true_a or_o it_o may_v be_v false_a and_o all_o this_o be_v for_o want_v of_o a_o infallibility_n of_o truth_n itself_o therefore_o though_o the_o divine_a thing_n of_o the_o eternal_a majesty_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o spiritual_a purity_n of_o a_o infallible_a truth_n in_o themselves_o yet_o unto_o that_o rational_a wise_a man_n they_o be_v nothing_o but_o nonsensical_a blasphemy_n or_o lie_a tale_n till_o his_o reason_n be_v confound_v in_o he_o by_o a_o true_a and_o heavenly_a faith_n now_o thou_o that_o have_v peruse_v this_o epistle_n if_o thou_o understand_v what_o thou_o read_v may_v behold_v how_o infallible_o i_o have_v prove_v both_o by_o reason_n faith_n and_o scripture_n that_o there_o be_v no_o other_o devil_n but_o what_o be_v in_o man_n and_o woman_n also_o how_o this_o devil_n come_v to_o be_v a_o devil_n so_o that_o if_o thou_o will_v not_o because_o thou_o can_v not_o believe_v much_o good_a may_v that_o imaginary_a devil_n do_v thou_o yet_o by_o the_o

devil_n but_o thy_o soul_n only_o which_o if_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o thou_o then_o to_o utter_v thyself_o thou_o will_v tell_v i_o what_o now_o i_o write_v to_o thou_o be_v the_o naked_a truth_n
