that_o god_n be_v the_o fountain_n of_o be_v by_o emanation_n as_o the_o sun_n of_o light_n and_o that_o his_o eternal_a wisdom_n be_v jesus_n christ_n in_o the_o first_o instant_a or_o nature_n 2._o that_o the_o first_o ●reature_n that_o he_o make_v or_o emane_v from_o he_o be_v a_o perfect_a universal_a mind_n the_o platform_n of_o all_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o creation_n such_o as_o the_o old_a

all_o that_o die_v and_o that_o his_o body_n bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n be_v but_o one_o top_n branch_n of_o the_o tree_n which_o christ_n thus_o animate_v and_o so_o that_o all_o other_o

to_o expound_v those_o text_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o mention_v such_o appearance_n of_o god_n to_o adam_n abraham_n and_o other_o which_o many_o of_o the_o ancient_n say_v be_v christ_n and_o it_o seem_v to_o some_o more_o probable_a that_o some_o pre-existent_a create_a nature_n shall_v assume_v a_o body_n than_o the_o divine_a nature_n only_o and_o immediate_o 4._o and_o it_o
