of_o spirit_n in_o love_n to_o this_o prophet_n before_o who_o we_o be_v call_v to_o stand_v who_o do_v put_v indeed_o and_o verify_v this_o question_n a_o second_o time_n unto_o i_o say_v what_o shall_v be_v do_v for_o you_o who_o have_v care_v all_o this_o care_n for_o i_o in_o give_v i_o a_o place_n of_o apartment_n where_o nothing_o may_v mingle_v with_o i_o tell_v i_o now_o what_o i_o

elisha_n spirit_n the_o holy_a ghost_n either_o of_o they_o both_o can_v be_v hear_v at_o all_o time_n therefore_o see_v that_o you_o be_v free_a in_o humility_n with_o your_o prophet_n now_o have_v such_o a_o grant_v make_v to_o i_o i_o consult_v how_o to_o act_v the_o part_n of_o a_o wise_a shunamite_n though_o i_o can_v and_o may_v take_v herefrom_o great_a liberty_n yet_o i_o be_o teach_v to_o weigh_v all_o my_o request_n that_o nothing_o rash_a or_o unadvised_a may_v proceed_v from_o i_o oh_o my_o lord_n and_o great_a prophet_n i_o can_v compare_v with_o the_o shunamite_n in_o all_o thing_n who_o say_v that_o she_o be_v in_o she_o own_o land_n and_o people_n but_o we_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v on_o some_o account_n as_o exile_v captive_n while_o live_v in_o elementary_a body_n also_o in_o a_o land_n under_o babylonish_n tribute_n which_o be_v very_o grievous_a to_o the_o supernal_a part_n who_o know_v its_o own_o true_a nativity_n as_o see_v through_o the_o glass_n of_o eternity_n what_o we_o once_o be_v in_o pre-existency_a but_o now_o as_o exist_v in_o form_n of_o mortality_n it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o we_o need_v nothing_o further_o in_o the_o high_a degree_n of_o this_o terrestrial_a state_n therefore_o in_o blush_a fear_n and_o holy_a modesty_n i_o do_v declare_v the_o sense_n hereof_o to_o my_o prophet_n if_o now_o my_o lord_n will_v speak_v for_o this_o unto_o the_o great_a and_o mighty_a king_n and_o captain_n of_o the_o lord_n host_n that_o we_o may_v have_v release_n out_o of_o all_o babylonish_n thrall_n and_o be_v bring_v back_o again_o to_o our_o own_o people_n to_o dwell_v in_o the_o heavenly_a city_n what_o great_a express_n of_o kindness_n can_v be_v compass_v for_o we_o by_o the_o prophet_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o elisha_n reply_v to_o i_o there_o be_v yet_o a_o great_a thing_n than_o this_o of_o which_o thou_o have_v make_v no_o mention_n that_o must_v go_v before_o it_o which_o be_v the_o one_o pure_a elementary_a birth_n for_o that_o which_o be_v bear_v from_o beneath_o of_o fleshly_a corporeity_n can_v never_o be_v gather_v among_o those_o celestial_a denizen_n till_o immortalize_v with_o pure_a and_o aethereal_a body_n ah_o my_o lord_n if_o so_o what_o hope_n can_v there_o he_o for_o we_o who_o be_v so_o unite_v unto_o this_o out-birth_n then_o say_v the_o prophet_n be_v quiet_a and_o still_o and_o after_o a_o while_n this_o pure_a birth_n that_o be_v all_o of_o spirit_n may_v free_o spring_n in_o which_o you_o will_v pass_v where_o you_o so_o much_o long_o and_o desire_v for_o to_o dwell_v but_o then_o this_o be_v further_o reveal_v that_o many_o will_v be_v the_o cross_a work_n of_o this_o worldly_a element_n therefore_o very_o wary_a we_o must_v be_v to_o avoid_v all_o mingling_n with_o it_o for_o we_o stand_v here_o upon_o a_o very_a nice_a point_n therefore_o know_v and_o be_v only_o conversant_a with_o this_o god-man_n from_o who_o be_v diffuse_v that_o which_o be_v of_o pure_a birth_n impregnancy_n that_o will_v excel_v in_o perfection_n all_o of_o former_a birth_n yet_o say_v the_o prophet_n consider_v further_o this_o if_o you_o do_v attain_v to_o this_o birth_n know_v while_o you_o be_v in_o this_o principle_n it_o be_v not_o out_o of_o all_o danger_n hazard_n do_v attend_v it_o as_o in_o the_o case_n of_o the_o shunamite_n while_o but_o in_o the_o
