The scripture sayeth / God seeth / God hereth God smelleth / God walketh / God is with them God is not with them / God is angry / God is pleased / God sendeth his spirit / God taketh his sprite away / & a thousand such like. And yet is non of them true after the worldly manner & ⟨image 40⟩as the words sound. Read the second Chapter of Paul to the Corinthians / the natural man understandeth not the things of God / but the sprite of god only and we (sayeth he) have received the sprite which is of God / to understand the things which are given us of god. For without the sprite it is impossible to understand them. Read also the .viij. to the Romans They that are lead with the sprite of God / are the sons of God. Now the son knoweth his fathers will & the servant not he that hath not the sprite of Christ (sayeth Paul) is none of his. Likewise he that hath not the sprite of God is none of Gods / for it is both one sprite / as thou mayst see in the same place.
The scripture sayeth / God seeth / God hereth God smelleth / God walketh / God is with thē God is not with thē / God is angrye / God is pleased / God sendeth hys spirite / God taketh his sprite away / & a thousand soch lyke. And yet is non of thē true after ye worldly maner & ⟨image 40⟩as the wordes sounde. Rede the seconde Chapter of Paule to the Corinthians / the naturall man vnderstondeth not the thinges of God / but ye sprite of god only and we (sayeth he) have receaved the sprite which is of God / to vnderstonde ye thinges which ar gevē vs of god. For without the sprite it is īpossible to vnderstonde thē. Rede also the .viij. to the Romayns They that are leed with the sprite of God / are the sonnes of God. Now the sonne knoweth his fathers will & the servāt not he that hath not the sprite of Christe (sayeth Paule) is none of his. Likewise he that hath not the sprite of God is none of Gods / for it is bothe one sprite / as thou mayst se in the same place.
Now he that is of God / hereth the word of God Jo. viij. and who is of God but he that hath the sprite of God. Further more / sayeth he ye hear it not / because ye are not of God / that is / ye have no lust in the word of God / for ye understand it not / and that because his sprite is not in you.
