after_o purgation_n to_o rectify_v and_o conjoin_v and_o then_o advance_v if_o it_o can_v be_v to_o a_o plusquam_fw-la perfection_n whereby_o to_o imitate_v nature_n as_o she_o by_o precedent_n

yet_o much_o more_o pure_a be_v he_o that_o create_v they_o which_o state_n to_o know_v be_v never_o to_o know_v death_n wherefore_o as_o by_o imitation_n some_o body_n be_v make_v always_o to_o

as_o christ_n be_v call_v the_o light_n of_o the_o world_n etc._n etc._n light_n may_v proper_o therefore_o be_v assert_v the_o manifestation_n of_o god_n and_o the_o oracle_n of_o his_o truth_n for_o if_o what_o visible_a light_n be_v or_o appear_v unto_o the_o bodily_a eye_n the_o same_o but_o infinite_o more_o glorious_a be_v the_o invisible_a light_n that_o illuminate_v the_o understanding_n in_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o mind_n the_o want_n of_o light_n it_o be_v true_a make_v man_n deplorable_a so_o be_v ignorance_n of_o the_o mind_n to_o be_v lament_v and_o as_o generation_n that_o

how_o dreadful_a and_o dismal_a be_v that_o darkness_n as_o light_v therefore_o of_o all_o thing_n be_v account_v most_o desirable_a the_o want_n of_o it_o to_o the_o mind_n make_v the_o man_n most_o

of_o knowledge_n be_v better_a by_o so_o much_o be_v the_o deprivation_n of_o that_o knowledge_n intolerable_a as_o any_o one_o therefore_o by_o put_v out_o a_o man_n eye_n whereby_o to_o intercept_v

co-uniting_a we_o to_o that_o invisible_a nature_n that_o admit_v not_o of_o any_o thing_n save_o purity_n intense_a by_o the_o continue_a ardency_n of_o a_o pious_a devotion_n as_o in_o operation_n it_o be_v evident_a and_o egregious_o true_a that_o the_o element_n themselves_o assume_v all_o colour_n before_o the_o beauty_n of_o those_o colour_n egrede_v wherefore_o they_o begin_v with_o

there_o be_v light_a so_o that_o his_o command_n be_v in_o a_o moment_n answer_v for_o how_o soon_o do_v the_o light_n spontaneous_o spring_v up_o and_o amount_v aloft_o fill_v the_o universe_n with_o

and_o the_o earth_n as_o reject_v to_o precipitate_v downward_o by_o reason_n of_o its_o gravity_n and_o solid_a ponderosity_n so_o that_o these_o two_o element_n be_v only_o make_v visible_a but_o
