the_o palate_n meet_v with_o a_o piece_n of_o meat_n in_o the_o mouth_n because_o of_o the_o suitableness_n between_o one_o object_n and_o another_o oh_o what_o delight_n must_v there_o needs_o be_v when_o this_o immortal_a precious_a soul_n be_v enlarge_v to_o the_o uttermost_a with_o all_o excellency_n shall_v then_o meet_v with_o a_o infinite_a god_n the_o infinite_a first-being_a of_o all_o

that_o the_o soul_n be_v capable_a of_o with_o god_n it_o be_v to_o have_v a_o union_n with_o god_n for_o the_o soul_n to_o be_v make_v one_o with_o god_n to_o be_v unite_v so_o as_o to_o be_v make_v one_o with_o he_o he_o that_o be_v join_v to_o the_o lord_n be_v one_o spirit_n say_v the_o apostle_n and_o say_v christ_n in_o joh._n 17._o father_n i_o will_v that_o those_o that_o thou_o have_v give_v i_o may_v be_v one_o with_o i_o as_o thou_o and_o i_o be_v one_o spiritual_a thing_n do_v most_o unite_v one_o to_o another_o there_o may_v be_v a_o thousand_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n unite_v

likewise_o a_o spirit_n there_o will_v be_v a_o exact_a union_n one_o with_o another_o and_o so_o the_o more_o spiritual_a thing_n be_v the_o more_o they_o communicate_v one_o to_o another_o as_o in_o

you_o will_v say_v that_o be_v to_o have_v god_n not_o only_o to_o be_v unite_v to_o it_o but_o to_o have_v a_o kind_n of_o possession_n of_o he_o to_o have_v the_o use_n of_o all_o that_o there_o

because_o god_n though_o he_o be_v the_o portion_n of_o a_o gracious_a heart_n yet_o the_o heart_n do_v not_o know_v this_o full_o but_o knowledge_n when_o it_o shall_v be_v perfect_a than_o the_o

the_o loss_n of_o the_o soul_n consist_v in_o this_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v full_o possess_v of_o all_o the_o evil_n that_o be_v contrary_a to_o all_o the_o good_a it_o be_v capable_a of_o thus_o
