of_o the_o intelligence_n not_o the_o suppositum_fw-la be_v immediate_a to_o b._n 17._o and_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v immense_a but_o a_o intelligence_n to_o be_v definitive_o in_o place_n for_o since_o nothing_o either_o be_v or_o can_v be_v without_o existence_n it_o be_v clear_a neither_o can_v there_o be_v any_o place_n upon_o which_o god_n do_v not_o immediate_o act_n but_o a_o intelligence_n have_v a_o determinate_a proportion_n to_o a_o body_n so_o act_n upon_o a_o certain_a quantity_n that_o it_o can_v together_o and_o at_o once_o immediate_o act_v upon_o another_o since_o therefore_o incorporeal_a thing_n be_v not_o in_o place_n circumscriptive_o a_o intelligence_n must_v be_v definitive_o but_o god_n without_o end_n in_o all_o place_n by_o immediate_a operation_n lesson_n xvii_o of_o the_o conservation_n of_o creature_n and_o the_o duration_n of_o thing_n 1._o it_o be_v clear_a too_o out_o of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v that_o this_o action_n of_o god_n be_v the_o conservation_n of_o thing_n both_o as_o to_o their_o substance_n and_o as_o to_o their_o intrinsical_a accident_n for_o since_o the_o essence_n of_o create_a thing_n have_v not_o of_o itself_o a_o necessary_a conjunction_n with_o be_v but_o such_o a_o one_o as_o may_v of_o its_o own_o nature_n be_v lose_v it_o be_v plain_a they_o be_v not_o conjoin_v by_o force_n of_o their_o own_o notion_n for_o that_o time_n during_o which_o they_o may_v be_v not-conjoyned_a and_o by_o consequence_n as_o long_o as_o they_o be_v conjoin_v they_o have_v this_o to_o be_v conjoin_v from_o a_o extrinsecall_n they_o therefore_o remain_v conjoin_v by_o a_o extrinsecall_a power_n 2._o but_o it_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n to_o be_v conjoin_v and_o to_o remain_v conjoin_v or_o to_o be_v for_o any_o duration_n conjoin_v they_o have_v therefore_o this_o from_o the_o same_o cause_n and_o virtue_n and_o since_o it_o be_v not_o any_o change_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o effect_n be_v that_o nothing_o shall_v be_v change_v by_o the_o very_a same_o action_n too_o they_o keep_v their_o be_v which_o be_v to_o be_v conserve_v the_o same_o action_n of_o god_n therefore_o be_v conservation_n in_o respect_n of_o substance_n 9_o and_o since_o it_o be_v declare_v above_o that_o intrinsical_v accident_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o manner_n of_o substance_n the_o substance_n be_v conserve_v it_o be_v clear_a that_o they_o also_o be_v conserve_v in_o their_o be_v 3._o out_o of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v too_o we_o may_v know_v what_o action_n signify_v in_o the_o effect_n itself_o and_o if_o the_o question_n be_v of_o the_o divine_a action_n as_o it_o immediate_o flow_v from_o god_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o it_o be_v the_o very_a substance_n itself_o not_o only_o because_o it_o can_v be_v subject_v in_o a_o substance_n which_o subsist_v no_o otherwise_o then_o by_o it_o nor_o because_o the_o existence_n of_o thing_n form_v out_o of_o our_o conceit_n be_v universal_o reject_v but_o also_o because_o any_o intermediate_v action_n such_o as_o the_o modern_n feign_v the_o make_v which_o shall_v be_v put_v serve_v to_o no_o purpose_n 4._o for_o either_o god_n before_o this_o action_n be_v determine_v in_o himself_o to_o act_v that_o be_v that_o this_o action_n shall_v follow_v from_o he_o or_o he_o be_v not_o if_o not_o this_o action_n will_v not_o follow_v for_o from_o a_o indifferent_a nothing_o follow_v but_o if_o he_o be_v determine_v this_o action_n have_v not_o the_o power_n of_o determine_v he_o for_o which_o the_o opponent_n require_v it_o as_o necessary_a but_o the_o effect_n can_v as_o immediate_o follow_v out_o of_o himself_o as_o this_o action_n and_o this_o same_o discourse_n hold_v against_o the_o like_a fictitious_a action_n too_o of_o creature_n 5._o again_o in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o action_n of_o god_n be_v conservation_n it_o be_v nothing_o but_o the_o very_o be_v of_o the_o thing_n conserve_v for_o first_o the_o duration_n of_o a_o incorporeal_a thing_n can_v be_v divisible_a for_o if_o it_o be_v divisible_a it_o will_v be_v continuate_a and_o divisible_a without_o end_n either_o therefore_o some_o part_n together_z and_o at_o once_o in_o a_o incorporeal_a that_o be_v indivisible_a thing_n or_o not_o if_o together_o that_o part_n will_v not_o include_v succession_n if_o not_o no_o part_n can_v ever_o be_v 6._o and_o this_o argument_n have_v not_o less_o force_n in_o a_o corporeal_a creature_n for_o though_o it_o be_v divisible_a in_o extension_n yet_o it_o be_v indivisible_a in_o succession_n and_o consequent_o it_o can_v sustain_v together_o more_o part_n of_o successive_a duration_n 7._o again_o if_o to_o endure_v be_v for_o the_o same_o thing_n to_o be_v the_o same_o it_o be_v be_v it_o not_o clear_a there_o be_v nothing_o require_v but_o a_o non-mutation_n and_o on_o the_o other_o side_n that_o of_o two_o thing_n which_o exist_v if_o one_o perish_v that_o be_v say_v to_o be_v change_v that_o which_o endure_v remain_v still_o unchanged_a there_o be_v therefore_o no_o novelty_n in_o permanency_n 8._o moreover_o to_o change_v the_o existence_n the_o essence_n too_o must_v needs_o be_v change_v since_o it_o be_v the_o apt_a capacity_n of_o existence_n the_o notion_n therefore_o of_o substance_n will_v be_v in_o perpetual_a change_n and_o instable_n and_o consequent_o out_o of_o god_n nothing_o stable_a 9_o you_o will_v object_v since_o it_o be_v often_o say_v that_o a_o creature_n may_v notbe_a and_o yet_o whilst_o it_o be_v it_o can_v notbe_a it_o be_v manifest_a that_o it_o can_v notbe_a or_o to_o be_v while_o it_o be_v successive_o supervene_v to_o a_o creature_n since_o therefore_o there_o be_v a_o great_a necessity_n of_o indivisibility_n on_o god_n part_n then_o on_o a_o creature_n be_v the_o succession_n be_v to_o be_v conclude_v on_o the_o creature_n side_n 10._o it_o be_v answer_v it_o be_v just_o contrary_a for_o as_o if_o the_o action_n of_o god_n be_v put_v by_o way_n of_o imagination_n to_o be_v successive_a no_o man_n will_v require_v any_o other_o succession_n to_o understand_v the_o duration_n of_o a_o creature_n so_o if_o the_o action_n of_o god_n be_v put_v equivalent_a to_o continual_o successive_a no_o man_n can_v complain_v of_o the_o unintelligibility_n of_o duration_n 11._o because_o therefore_o the_o action_n of_o god_n be_v conformable_a to_o his_o existence_n and_o his_o existence_n indivisible_o comprehend_v the_o past_a and_o future_a it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o the_o action_n as_o it_o be_v the_o internal_a determination_n of_o god_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n comprehend_v succession_n this_o action_n therefore_o actuate_v the_o creature_n with_o a_o certain_a indivisibility_n that_o eminential_o contain_v divisibility_n and_o without_o any_o divisibility_n make_v the_o existence_n of_o a_o creature_n by_o contradiction_n impossible_a to_o be_v take_v away_o successive_o yet_o without_o any_o more_o
