world_n make_v begin_v in_o time_n since_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n be_v a_o outward_a action_n of_o god_n &_o voluntary_a the_o very_a same_o answer_n may_v be_v make_v unto_o the_o rule_n when_o the_o cause_n be_v the_o effect_n be_v the_o cause_n eternal_a therefore_o the_o effect_n to_o wit_n y_z e_z world_n for_o this_o hold_v in_o natural_a thing_n also_o that_o work_v natural_o

then_o &_o slack_a be_v these_o conclusion_n you_o evident_o see_v and_o far_o from_o demonstration_n three_o they_o reason_v thus_o that_o which_o have_v no_o alteration_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o

be_v make_v or_o corruption_n to_o cease_v to_o be_v therefore_o it_o be_v eternal_a we_o answer_v that_o all_o though_o it_o may_v be_v true_o say_v that_o many_o part_n of_o the_o world_n be_v subject_a to_o alteration_n as_o the_o air_n the_o water_n the_o earth_n &c_n &c_n and_o consequent_o the_o whole_a not_o perpetual_a who_o part_n be_v alterable_a yet_o with_o divinity_n we_o

that_o have_v no_o alteration_n as_o angel_n star_n soul_n and_o by_o divine_a power_n celestial_a body_n may_v be_v destroy_v or_o at_o least_o change_v and_o renew_a according_a to_o the_o say_n
