A76959	The tree of Christian faith: being a true information, how a man may be one spirit with God, and what man must do to perform the works of God: in which is comprehended (compendiously) the whole Christian doctrine and faith. Item, what faith and doctrine is: an open gate of the great mystery of God out of the divine Magia, through the three principles of the divine being. / Written in High Dutch by Jacob Behmen.; Baum des christlichen Glaubens.

and_o spend_v his_o earthly_a life_n about_o it_o and_o by_o no_o mean_n give_v over_o unless_o he_o have_v break_v the_o earthly_a will_n this_o indeed_o be_v a_o sharp_a war_n where_o two_o

if_o the_o will_n turn_v into_o good_a than_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o will_n become_v to_o be_v god_n child_n 41._o and_o the_o wonder_n also_o stand_v before_o god_n which_o be_v make_v by_o
