there
may be an

between
an
infinite
and a

:As
now
the
foule
of

why his foule
was
but
a
finite
thing,
a
creature,
and
yet
what
a
Conjunòtion had
the

Chrid

the
Divine nature
;
For
there

and`,
the

Therefore
now, the

niteneffe of the
foule
of
man
doth not
hinder
an
immediate
touch
(as
I
may
fo

) with the infinite beeing
of God

And
it

of God

And

in

fo the
