the_o turba_n and_o in_o eternity_n reach_v not_o to_o god_n also_o it_o know_v nothing_o of_o he_o but_o be_v a_o life_n according_a to_o the_o essence_n &_o property_n of_o the_o parent_n 13._o where_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o reach_v to_o the_o kindle_v or_o burn_v for_o the_o soul_n have_v not_o itself_o act_v or_o commit_v sin_n but_o be_v a_o fountain-quality-spirit_n without_o self-desire_n and_o wonder_n like_o the_o flame_n of_o brimstone_n and_o like_o a_o ignis_fw-la fatuus_fw-la which_o can_v reach_v to_o god_n but_o remain_v so_o between_o heaven_n and_o hell_n in_o the_o mystery_n till_o the_o judgement_n of_o god_n which_o will_v gather_v in_o its_o harvest_n and_o give_v every_o thing_n its_o right_a and_o true_a place_n of_o repository_n 14._o though_o perhaps_o our_o learned_a master_n in_o this_o may_v have_v another_o kind_n of_o philosophy_n but_o we_o inquire_v not_o after_o their_o art_n we_o have_v eye_n they_o have_v art_n we_o speak_v what_o we_o see_v 15._o thus_o we_o give_v you_o to_o understand_v that_o no_o soul_n be_v generate_v or_o bear_v into_o this_o world_n without_o sin_n how_o honest_a virtuous_a and_o godly_a soever_o the_o parent_n be_v for_o it_o be_v conceive_v and_o breed_v forth_o or_o hatch_v in_o earthly_a seed_n and_o bring_v the_o turba_n of_o the_o body_n along_o with_o it_o and_o that_o have_v also_o surround_v the_o soul_n 16._o therefore_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n god_n make_v a_o covenant_n with_o the_o child_n in_o circumcision_n and_o so_o gethan_fw-ge order_v in_o the_o covenant_n that_o they_o must_v shed_v their_o blood_n and_o drown_v the_o turba_n of_o the_o the_o soul_n therewith_o 17._o and_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n there_o be_v the_o baptism_n wherein_o the_o holy_a spirit_n with_o the_o water_n of_o life_n wash_v off_o the_o turba_n of_o the_o soul_n water_n that_o it_o may_v come_v to_o god_n and_o become_v god_n child_n 18._o but_o if_o any_o will_v say_v that_o every_o one_o that_o have_v not_o baptism_n as_o jew_n and_o turk_n and_o other_o people_n with_o who_o be_v not_o the_o knowledge_n thereof_o who_o have_v not_o the_o candlestick_n among_o they_o that_o they_o be_v all_o reject_v of_o god_n although_o they_o never_o so_o vehement_o press_v with_o their_o teach_n life_n and_o death_n into_o the_o love_n of_o god_n that_o be_v a_o fancy_n and_o babel-like_a speak_v without_o knowledge_n 19_o blessedness_n and_o salvation_n lie_v not_o alone_o in_o the_o outward_a word_n but_o in_o the_o power_n and_o virtue_n who_o will_v exclude_v those_o that_o enter_v into_o god_n 20._o be_v it_o not_o babel_n who_o seduce_v and_o confound_v the_o whole_a world_n so_o that_o they_o have_v divide_v people_n into_o opinion_n and_o yet_o in_o their_o will_n go_v but_o one_o way_n who_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o this_o but_o the_o antichrist_n when_o he_o draw_v the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n into_o his_o might_n authority_n and_o power_n and_o make_v fiction_n concern_v the_o regeneration_n of_o which_o when_o it_o come_v to_o be_v day_n the_o very_a child_n will_v be_v ashamed_a of_o they_o 21._o a_o man_n may_v say_v with_o good_a ground_n that_o antichrist_n doctrine_n be_v a_o fight_v with_o a_o shadow_n as_o in_o a_o looking-glass_n and_o a_o falsehood_n and_o wickedness_n of_o the_o serpent_n which_o continual_o beguile_v eve_n 22._o thus_o it_o be_v apprehensible_a to_o we_o that_o no_o soul_n come_v into_o this_o world_n without_o sin_n every_o one_o bring_v the_o turba_n along_o with_o it_o for_o if_o it_o be_v without_o sin_n than_o it_o must_v dwell_v in_o a_o total_o pure_a body_n which_o have_v no_o evil_a will_n or_o inclination_n at_o all_o in_o which_o there_o be_v no_o earthly_a seek_v or_o desire_n 23._o but_o thus_o indeed_o be_v every_o body_n and_o soul_n tie_v and_o unite_v together_o till_o the_o turba_n find_v the_o limit_v of_o the_o body_n and_o then_o the_o turba_n seek_v the_o work_n or_o action_n of_o the_o body_n as_o have_v be_v mention_v above_o the_o fifteen_o question_n how_o sin_n come_v into_o the_o soul_n be_v it_o be_v god_n work_n and_o creature_n 1._o it_o be_v in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o be_v above_o mention_v the_o turba_n together_o with_o the_o earthly_a seek_n come_v along_o with_o it_o into_o this_o world_n and_o so_o the_o soul_n become_v vehement_o draw_v by_o two_o party_n first_o by_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o be_v pass_v into_o the_o middle_n which_o there_o of_o love_n be_v become_v man_n or_o incarnate_a that_o draw_v the_o soul_n continual_o into_o god_n kingdom_n and_o set_v the_o turba_n before_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o soul_n so_o that_o the_o soul_n see_v in_o nature_n what_o be_v false_a or_o wicked_a and_o sin_n and_o if_o it_o suffer_v itself_o to_o be_v draw_v than_o it_o become_v regenerate_v in_o the_o word_n so_o that_o it_o be_v god_n image_n 2._o and_o second_o the_o turba_n also_o draw_v the_o soul_n mighty_o with_o its_o band_n and_o bring_v the_o soul_n continual_o back_o into_o the_o earthly_a seek_v or_o long_v especial_o in_o youth_n when_o the_o earthly_a tree_n stick_v full_a of_o green_a sprout_a drive_a essence_n and_o poison_n and_o then_o the_o turba_n thus_o fly_v strong_o or_o mighty_o in_o so_o that_o many_o a_o soul_n in_o eternity_n can_v become_v free_v and_o loose_v from_o it_o 3._o a_o thing_n which_o be_v from_o two_o beginning_n which_o stand_v in_o equal_a balance_n or_o weight_n do_v by_o put_v in_o more_o weight_n on_o the_o one_o part_n sink_v down_o be_v it_o either_o by_o evil_n or_o good_a 4._o sin_n make_v not_o itself_o but_o the_o will_n make_v it_o it_o come_v from_o the_o imagination_n into_o the_o spirit_n and_o then_o the_o spirit_n go_v into_o a_o thing_n and_o become_v infect_v from_o the_o thing_n and_o so_o the_o turba_n of_o that_o thing_n come_v into_o the_o spirit_n and_o destroy_v first_o the_o image_n of_o god_n 5._o and_o then_o it_o go_v further_o seek_v deep_a and_o so_o it_o find_v the_o abyss_n viz._n the_o soul_n and_o seek_v in_o the_o soul_n and_o so_o it_o find_v the_o fierce_a wrathful_a fire_n by_o which_o it_o mix_v itself_o with_o the_o thing_n introduce_v into_o the_o spirit_n and_o so_o now_o sin_n be_v total_o generate_v or_o bear_v and_o so_o now_o all_o be_v sin_n which_o desire_v to_o bring_v that_o which_o be_v outward_a into_o the_o will._n 6._o the_o will_n shall_v simple_o or_o single_o be_v incline_v and_o exercise_v in_o love_n &_o meekness_n as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o nothing_o or_o dead_a it_o shall_v only_o desire_v god_n life_n that_o god_n may_v work_v act_n or_o create_v in_o it_o and_o whatsoever_o it_o do_v beside_o its_o will_n shall_v be_v incline_v or_o intend_v so_o as_o to_o do_v it_o for_o god_n 7._o but_o if_o it_o put_v its_o will_n into_o the_o thing_n or_o substance_n than_o it_o bring_v that_o thing_n or_o substance_n into_o the_o spirit_n which_o possess_v its_o heart_n and_o so_o the_o turba_n become_v generate_v and_o the_o soul_n captivate_v with_o that_o thing_n 8._o thus_o we_o give_v you_o for_o a_o answer_n that_o no_o soul_n come_v pure_a and_o clean_a out_o of_o the_o mother_n body_n or_o womb_n be_v it_o beget_v by_o holy_a or_o unholy_a parent_n 9_o for_o as_o the_o abyss_n and_o anger_n of_o god_n as_o also_o the_o earthly_a world_n do_v all_o cleave_v to_o and_o depend_v on_o god_n the_o father_n and_o yet_o can_v apprehend_v or_o touch_v his_o heart_n and_o spirit_n so_o it_o be_v also_o with_o the_o child_n in_o the_o mother_n

body_n than_o the_o heaven_n take_v the_o spirit_n and_o so_o the_o majesty_n fill_v the_o spirit_n and_o so_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o god_n and_o be_v free_a from_o pain_n 11._o but_o while_o the_o soul_n stick_v in_o the_o earthly_a life_n it_o be_v not_o free_a and_o it_o be_v because_o the_o earthly_a spirit_n continual_o bring_v its_o abomination_n with_o its_o imagination_n into_o it_o
