future_a so_o in_o everye_o motion_n which_o be_v measure_v by_o time_n there_o be_v one_o present_a mutation_n which_o argue_v one_o motion_n precedent_n and_o a_o other_o subsequent_a because_o every_o motion_n be_v a_o change_n either_o of_o substance_n or_o of_o quantitye_n or_o of_o quality_n or_o ofplace_v and_o therefore_o the_o first_o moment_n of_o time_n can_v be_v assign_v nor_o the_o first_o mutation_n which_o be_v in_o motion_n the_o natural_a philosopher_n can_v not_o discern_v by_o nature_n whether_o be_v first_o the_o hen_n or_o the_o egg_n because_o one_o can_v be_v without_o the_o other_o &_o therefore_o they_o suppose_v that_o eternallye_o the_o generation_n of_o one_o be_v the_o corruption_n of_o a_o other_o and_o so_o there_o shall_v be_v a_o eternal_a revolution_n of_o thing_n which_o indeed_o natural_o must_v be_v so_o but_o metaphysical_o it_o be_v not_o so_o because_o there_o be_v a_o god_n above_o nature_n by_o who_o nature_n be_v overruled_n neither_o be_v it_o marvel_v though_o philosophye_n and_o faith_n do_v not_o speak_v alike_o concern_v the_o beginning_n of_o the_o world_n when_o the_o metaphysic_n and_o their_o principle_n differ_v so_o much_o from_o the_o physics_n &_o their_o principle_n and_o aristotle_n dissent_v so_o much_o from_o aristotle_n one_o and_o the_o self_n same_o man_n from_o himself_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n to_o affirm_v that_o the_o world_n simple_o have_v no_o beginning_n and_o a_o other_o thing_n to_o say_v that_o nature_n do_v not_o make_v the_o world_n and_o that_o by_o the_o power_n of_o nature_n it_o shall_v have_v no_o end_n for_o god_n and_o nature_n be_v diverse_a thing_n aristotle_n confess_v that_o the_o world_n begin_v and_o shall_v have_v a_o end_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o divine_a and_o supernatural_a power_n because_o he_o say_v that_o god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o first_o mover_n so_o he_o be_v the_o first_o cause_n of_o motion_n and_o actuallye_o infinite_a a_o most_o free_a agent_n not_o tie_v to_o any_o secondary_a cause_n instrument_n &_o mean_n whereby_o he_o work_v he_o which_o be_v eternal_a be_v before_o all_o motion_n &_o can_v be_v without_o motion_n or_o time_n because_o he_o make_v both_o motion_n and_o time_n aristotle_n deny_v that_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v eternal_a can_v be_v measure_v by_o time_n he_o deny_v god_n to_o be_v in_o time_n and_o by_o a_o consequent_a he_o deny_v he_o to_o be_v tie_v unto_o motion_n which_o be_v measure_v by_o time_n god_n move_v eternallye_o but_o his_o motion_n be_v metaphysical_a which_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o will_n to_o will_v and_o to_o understand_v the_o world_n therefore_o be_v not_o without_o beginning_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o first_o cause_n which_o be_v god_n but_o of_o the_o second_o cause_n which_o be_v nature_n for_o then_o nature_n shall_v be_v injurious_a unto_o herself_o if_o she_o shall_v do_v violence_n unto_o herself_o and_o be_v a_o cause_n of_o she_o own_o destruction_n and_o therefore_o according_a to_o nature_n there_o be_v a_o reference_n and_o due_a proportion_n between_o he_o which_o move_v and_o that_o which_o be_v move_v and_o the_o motion_n itself_o and_o so_o the_o eternity_n of_o the_o mover_n must_v argue_v the_o eternity_n of_o the_o thing_n which_o by_o he_o be_v move_v &_o of_o the_o motion_n but_o god_n have_v &_o exercise_v his_o metaphysical_a power_n and_o authority_n over_o all_o thing_n whereby_o he_o countercheck_v and_o over_o rule_v these_o thing_n the_o argument_n therefore_o which_o the_o philosopher_n produce_v to_o prove_v the_o eternity_n of_o the_o world_n be_v reduce_v unto_o these_o first_o if_o there_o be_v any_o first_o motion_n the_o mover_n and_o the_o move_v body_n from_o whence_o this_o motion_n
