our_o saviour_n jesus_n christ_n himself_o teach_v to_o his_o apostle_n and_o disciple_n and_o which_o the_o comforter_n do_v continual_o teach_v the_o holy_a servant_n of_o god_n ever_o since_o and_o by_o what_o be_v write_v by_o this_o author_n it_o may_v be_v believe_v that_o both_o the_o same_o wisdom_n may_v be_v attain_v now_o and_o the_o same_o power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o which_o they_o speak_v and_o wrought_v their_o miracle_n and_o the_o cause_n discern_v why_o scarce_o any_o have_v be_v wrought_v for_o so_o long_a a_o while_n yes_o man_n will_v believe_v that_o great_a thing_n shall_v be_v do_v as_o our_o saviour_n tell_v the_o apostle_n than_o they_o see_v he_o do_v for_o it_o will_v appear_v that_o the_o power_n in_o one_o man_n even_o of_o one_o thought_n in_o a_o man_n be_v able_a to_o change_v the_o whole_a universe_n in_o a_o moment_n this_o power_n be_v in_o part_n in_o the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n who_o can_v raise_v the_o dead_a and_o when_o the_o time_n appoint_v be_v come_v that_o all_o the_o dead_a shall_v rise_v that_o power_n will_v do_v it_o though_o it_o shall_v be_v but_o as_o a_o grain_n of_o mustardseed_n in_o one_o man_n and_o restore_v the_o whole_a creature_n to_o the_o glorious_a liberty_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n sure_o it_o will_v be_v worth_a our_o pain_n to_o find_v such_o wisdom_n as_o this_o by_o the_o study_n of_o these_o write_n man_n may_v come_v to_o know_v every_o one_o according_a to_o his_o condition_n property_n and_o indination_n how_o all_o the_o real_a difference_n of_o opinion_n of_o all_o sort_n may_v be_v reconcile_v even_o the_o nice_a difference_n of_o the_o most_o learned_a critic_n in_o all_o age_n that_o which_o seem_v different_a in_o the_o write_n of_o the_o profound_a magical_a mystical_a chemic_a philosopher_n from_o that_o which_o we_o find_v in_o the_o experimental_a physician_n philosopher_n astronomer_n may_v be_v reconcile_v by_o consider_v what_o this_o author_n teach_v that_o the_o name_n which_o be_v give_v to_o the_o seven_o planet_n do_v signify_v the_o seven_o property_n of_o the_o eternal_a nature_n and_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o those_o

love_v one_o another_o &_o that_o hard_a lesson_n to_o love_v our_o enemy_n will_v be_v ready_o learn_v and_o man_n will_v quick_o contribute_v to_o the_o study_v that_o one_o necessary_a thing_n that_o treasure_n hide_v in_o the_o field_n that_o gold_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n that_o precious_a pearl_n that_o all_o in_o all_o faith_n and_o love_n and_o christ_n and_o god_n when_o

be_v make_v plain_a and_o easy_a to_o the_o simple_a thirsty_a soul_n and_o then_o when_o that_o appear_v which_o be_v now_o hide_a that_o excellent_a glory_n every_o one_o will_v not_o only_o see_v

will_v so_o reform_v the_o law_n the_o degree_n in_o every_o nation_n that_o at_o length_n the_o whole_a world_n will_v be_v govern_v in_o peace_n to_o the_o joy_n of_o all_o perhaps_o some_o will_v
