of_o the_o eternal_a nature_n which_o yet_o have_v no_o comprehensibility_n but_o be_v a_o spirit_n in_o a_o sevenfold_a form_n whereas_o yet_o in_o the_o originality_n there_o be_v not_o seven_o

but_o when_o we_o speak_v of_o the_o source_n or_o original_a of_o the_o fire_n and_o of_o its_o kindle_v we_o mean_v concern_v the_o fire_n of_o life_n we_o know_v for_o certain_a that_o in_o its_o
