thou_o say_v this_o consider_v what_o i_o be_o now_o upon_o you_o that_o seem_v to_o scorn_v covetousness_n and_o hate_v such_o base_a sordidnesse_n as_o you_o see_v in_o some_o man_n can_v you_o

that_o be_v a_o good_a argument_n therefore_o examine_v upon_o what_o ground_n it_o be_v that_o your_o spirit_n be_v against_o such_o thing_n whether_o it_o be_v upon_o the_o sight_n and_o

that_o be_v their_o better_a part_n they_o be_v from_o heaven_n you_o know_v that_o when_o god_n make_v man_n he_o breathe_v into_o his_o nostril_n the_o breath_n of_o life_n the_o soul_n of_o man_n it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o breath_n of_o god_n god_n do_v not_o say_v of_o man_n soul_n as_o of_o other_o creature_n let_v it_o be_v make_v let_v there_o be_v a_o soul_n in_o man_n body_n no_o but_o when_o he_o have_v form_v the_o body_n he_o breathe_v the_o soul_n into_o he_o it_o be_v to_o note_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n have_v a_o more_o heavenly_a and_o divine_a original_n than_o any_o of_o the_o other_o creature_n that_o be_v here_o in_o this_o world_n and_o because_o the_o original_n it_o be_v so_o divine_a and_o heavenly_a therefore_o it_o be_v that_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v as_o it_o be_v its_o self_n be_v set_v at_o liberty_n it_o will_v be_v at_o its_o original_n indeed_o though_o man_n soul_n be_v of_o a_o divine_a and_o heavenly_a nature_n yea_o through_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n so_o it_o be_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v even_o almost_o turn_v to_o be_v flesh_n and_o so_o mingle_v with_o unclean_a drossy_a thing_n as_o if_o it_o have_v no_o such_o

for_o i_o say_v the_o soul_n of_o man_n through_o his_o fall_n the_o nature_n of_o it_o seem_v to_o be_v change_v it_o be_v at_o least_o depress_v down_o to_o such_o vile_a thing_n as_o if_o it_o never_o have_v such_o a_o divine_a and_o heavenly_a original_n but_o now_o when_o god_n work_v grace_n in_o the_o soul_n the_o soul_n of_o man_n begin_v to_o return_v to_o its_o self_n and_o to_o know_v its_o self_n and_o begin_v to_o return_v to_o its_o own_o nature_n that_o it_o have_v in_o its_o first_o creation_n and_o as_o soon_o as_o ever_o the_o soul_n begin_v to_o know_v its_o self_n it_o look_v then_o present_o at_o all_o these_o thing_n that_o be_v here_o below_o as_o vile_a thing_n in_o comparison_n as_o contemptible_a for_o indeed_o all_o these_o thing_n in_o this_o world_n be_v infinite_o beneath_o the_o soul_n of_o a_o man_n infinite_o that_o be_v in_o comparison_n we_o may_v even_o call_v it_o a_o infinite_a distance_n between_o man_n soul_n and_o all_o these_o thing_n that_o be_v here_o below_o in_o the_o world_n the_o soul_n of_o man_n be_v near_o unto_o god_n himself_o and_o therefore_o when_o as_o the_o soul_n return_v unto_o its_o self_n it_o will_v be_v some_o where_o else_o than_o where_o it_o be_v and_o will_v converse_v with_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v suitable_a to_o its_o original_n as_o it_o be_v with_o a_o man_n that_o have_v a_o
