the_o blood_n viz._n fire_n which_o be_v a_o warmth_n that_o be_v a_o tincture_n be_v a_o life_n and_o in_o the_o virtue_n of_o the_o tincture_n the_o thin_a water_n of_o the_o life_n proceed_v one_o

for_o before_o christ_n come_v he_o keep_v the_o soul_n captive_a in_o the_o turba_n with_o the_o fire_n and_o although_o he_o have_v not_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o soul_n yet_o he_o have_v the_o
