shall_v find_v none_o at_o all_o for_o all_o his_o attribute_n be_v live_v yea_o life_n itself_o moreover_o see_v the_o creature_n of_o god_n so_o far_o as_o they_o be_v creature_n ought_v necessary_o in_o some_o thing_n to_o resemble_v their_o creator_n now_o i_o demand_v in_o what_o dead_a matter_n be_v like_a unto_o god_n if_o they_o say_v again_o in_o naked_a entity_n i_o answer_v there_o be_v none_o such_o in_o god_n or_o his_o creature_n and_o so_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a non_fw-la ens_fw-la or_o nothing_o but_o as_o touch_v the_o other_o attribute_n of_o matter_n viz._n impenetrability_n figurability_n and_o mobility_n certain_o none_o of_o these_o have_v any_o place_n in_o god_n and_o so_o be_v not_o of_o his_o communicable_a attribute_n but_o rather_o essential_a difference_n or_o attribute_n of_o diversity_n whereby_o the_o creature_n as_o such_o be_v distinguish_v from_o god_n as_o also_o mutability_n be_v of_o the_o number_n of_o those_o differential_a attribute_n whence_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o mutability_n be_v of_o the_o communicable_a attribute_n of_o god_n and_o in_o like_a manner_n impenetrability_n figurability_n and_o mobility_n do_v not_o pertain_v unto_o the_o communicable_a attribute_n of_o god_n but_o to_o those_o only_o in_o which_o the_o creature_n differ_v from_o he_o and_o see_v dead_a matter_n do_v not_o partake_v of_o any_o of_o the_o communicable_a attribute_n of_o god_n we_o must_v certain_o conclude_v that_o the_o same_o be_v a_o mere_a non_fw-la ens_fw-la or_o nothing_o a_o false_a fiction_n or_o chimaera_n and_o so_o a_o thing_n impossible_a if_o they_o say_v it_o have_v a_o metaphysical_a goodness_n and_o truth_n even_o as_o every_o be_v be_v good_a and_o true_a again_o i_o demand_v what_o be_v that_o goodness_n and_o truth_n for_o if_o it_o have_v no_o participation_n with_o any_o of_o the_o communicable_a attribute_n of_o god_n it_o will_v be_v neither_o good_a nor_o true_a and_o so_o a_o mere_a fiction_n as_o before_o be_v say_v moreover_o see_v it_o can_v be_v say_v wherein_o dead_a matter_n do_v any_o way_n partake_v of_o divine_a goodness_n much_o less_o can_v it_o be_v show_v how_o it_o may_v be_v capable_a always_o to_o acquire_v a_o great_a perfection_n ad_fw-la infinitum_fw-la which_o be_v the_o nature_n of_o all_o creature_n viz._n to_o increase_v and_o infinite_o advance_v towards_o a_o far_a perfection_n as_o be_v before_o demonstrate_v but_o what_o far_a progress_n in_o goodness_n or_o perfection_n have_v a_o dead_a matter_n because_o after_o it_o have_v suffer_v infinite_a change_n of_o motion_n and_o figure_n it_o be_v constrain_v always_o to_o remain_v dead_a as_o before_z and_o if_o motion_n and_o figure_n contribute_v nothing_o to_o the_o receive_n of_o life_n then_o certain_o this_o be_v make_v never_o the_o better_a nay_o be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o degree_n promote_v in_o goodness_n for_o suppose_v this_o dead_a matter_n have_v undergo_v all_o form_n and_o be_v transmute_v into_o all_o kind_n of_o figure_n even_o the_o most_o regular_a and_o exact_a what_o do_v this_o profit_n this_o matter_n or_o body_n because_o it_o want_v all_o life_n and_o sense_n so_o let_v we_o suppose_v the_o same_o to_o have_v undergo_v infinite_a kind_n of_o motion_n from_o slowness_n to_o swiftness_n wherein_o therefore_o be_v it_o better_o by_o the_o way_n of_o its_o intrinsecal_n melioration_n for_o the_o argument_n speak_v of_o intrinsecal_n melioration_n which_o be_v such_o a_o melioration_n as_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n itself_o require_v and_o which_o be_v perform_v thereby_o but_o a_o mere_a dead_a body_n or_o matter_n require_v no_o kind_n of_o motion_n or_o figure_n nor_o in_o itself_o be_v perfect_v more_o by_o one_o motion_n or_o figure_n than_o by_o another_o for_o it_o be_v alike_o indifferent_a to_o all_o motion_n and_o figure_n whatsoever_o and_o by_o consequence_n be_v not_o perfect_v or_o better_v by_o any_o of_o they_o and_o then_o what_o advantage_n will_v it_o have_v from_o all_o these_o help_n if_o it_o always_o remain_v a_o dead_a and_o impassable_a thing_n §_o 3._o my_o three_o reason_n be_v draw_v from_o the_o great_a love_n and_o desire_n that_o the_o spirit_n or_o soul_n have_v towards_o body_n and_o especial_o towards_o those_o with_o which_o they_o be_v unite_v and_o in_o which_o they_o have_v their_o habitation_n but_o now_o the_o foundation_n of_o all_o love_n or_o desire_n whereby_o one_o thing_n be_v carry_v unto_o another_o stand_v in_o this_o that_o either_o they_o be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o substance_n with_o they_o or_o like_v unto_o they_o or_o both_o or_o that_o one_o have_v its_o be_v from_o the_o other_o whereof_o we_o have_v a_o example_n in_o all_o live_a creature_n which_o bring_v forth_o their_o young_a and_o in_o like_a manner_n also_o in_o man_n how_o they_o love_v that_o which_o be_v bear_v of_o they_o for_o so_o also_o even_o wicked_a man_n and_o woman_n if_o they_o be_v notextreme_o perverse_a and_o void_a of_o parental_a love_n do_v love_n their_o child_n and_o cherish_v they_o with_o a_o natural_a affection_n the_o cause_n whereof_o certain_o be_v this_o that_o their_o child_n be_v of_o the_o same_o nature_n and_o substance_n viz._n as_o though_o they_o be_v part_n of_o they_o and_o if_o they_o be_v like_o they_o either_o in_o body_n spirit_n or_o manner_n hereby_o their_o love_n be_v the_o more_o increase_v so_o also_o we_o observe_v that_o animal_n of_o one_o species_n love_v one_o another_o more_o than_o those_o that_o be_v of_o a_o different_a species_n whence_o also_o cattle_n of_o one_o kind_a feed_v together_o bird_n of_o a_o kind_a flock_n together_o and_o fish_n of_o a_o kind_a swim_v together_o and_o so_o man_n rather_o converse_v with_o man_n than_o with_o any_o other_o creature_n but_o beside_o this_o particular_a love_n there_o remain_v yet_o something_o of_o universal_a love_n in_o all_o creature_n one_o towards_o another_o set_v aside_o that_o great_a confusion_n which_o have_v fall_v out_o since_o by_o reason_n of_o transgression_n which_o certain_o must_v proceed_v from_o the_o same_o foundation_n viz._n in_o regard_n of_o their_o first_o substance_n and_o essence_n they_o be_v all_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n and_o as_o it_o be_v part_n and_o member_n of_o one_o body_n moreover_o in_o every_o species_n of_o animal_n we_o see_v how_o the_o male_a and_o female_a love_n one_o another_o and_o in_o all_o their_o propagation_n which_o be_v not_o monstrous_a and_o contrary_a to_o nature_n they_o respect_v each_o other_o and_o that_o proceed_v not_o only_o from_o the_o unity_n of_o nature_n but_o also_o by_o reason_n of_o a_o certain_a eminent_a similitude_n or_o likeness_n between_o they_o and_o both_o these_o foundation_n of_o love_n between_o a_o man_n and_o a_o woman_n be_v express_o mention_v in_o genesis_n but_o that_o which_o adam_n speak_v concern_v his_o wife_n this_o be_v bone_n of_o my_o bone_n and_o flesh_n of_o my_o flesh_n etc._n etc._n pertain_v unto_o the_o unity_n of_o nature_n for_o she_o be_v take_v out_o of_o he_o and_o be_v a_o part_n of_o he_o and_o therefore_o he_o love_v she_o moreover_o also_o concern_v similitude_n it_o be_v say_v there_o be_v no_o help_n find_v for_o he_o or_o before_o his_o face_n as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o hebrew_n i._n e._n among_o all_o creature_n he_o see_v not_o his_o like_a with_o who_o he_o will_v converse_v until_o eve_n be_v make_v for_o he_o but_o there_o be_v yet_o another_o cause_n of_o love_n when_o being_n that_o love_v each_o other_o be_v not_o one_o substance_n but_o one_o give_v be_v to_o the_o other_o and_o be_v the_o proper_a and_o real_a cause_n thereof_o and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o case_n between_o god_n and_o creature_n for_o he_o give_v to_o all_o be_v life_n and_o motion_n and_o therefore_o he_o love_v all_o creature_n neither_o can_v he_o not_o love_v they_o yea_o at_o the_o same_o time_n when_o he_o seem_v to_o hate_v and_o be_v angry_a with_o they_o this_o his_o anger_n and_o what_o proceed_v therefrom_o viz._n punishment_n and_o judgement_n turn_v to_o their_o good_a because_o he_o perceive_v they_o have_v need_n of_o they_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o creature_n which_o have_v not_o whole_o degenerate_v and_o lose_v all_o sense_n of_o god_n do_v love_v he_o and_o this_o be_v a_o certain_a divine_a law_n and_o instinct_n which_o he_o put_v in_o all_o rational_a creature_n that_o they_o may_v love_v he_o which_o be_v the_o fulfil_n of_o the_o whole_a law_n but_o those_o creature_n which_o draw_v most_o near_o unto_o god_n in_o similitude_n or_o likeness_n do_v love_v he_o the_o more_o and_o be_v the_o more_o love_v of_o he_o but_o if_o it_o be_v think_v there_o be_v another_o principal_a cause_n of_o love_n to_o wit_n goodness_n which_o be_v the_o most_o vehement_a or_o powerful_a

magnet_n thereof_o whence_o also_o god_n be_v above_o all_o the_o most_o to_o be_v love_v because_o he_o be_v the_o best_a which_o goodness_n be_v in_o some_o measure_n in_o creature_n either_o real_o or_o apparent_o wherefore_o such_o be_v love_v of_o their_o fellow-creature_n i_o answer_v it_o must_v be_v grant_v indeed_o that_o goodness_n be_v a_o great_a yea_o the_o great_a cause_n of_o love_n and_o the_o proper_a object_n of_o it_o but_o this_o goodness_n be_v not_o a_o distinct_a cause_n from_o those_o before_o lay_v down_o but_o be_v comprehend_v in_o they_o wherefore_o do_v we_o call_v a_o thing_n good_a but_o because_o it_o either_o real_o or_o apparent_o please_v we_o for_o the_o unity_n it_o have_v with_o we_o or_o which_o we_o have_v with_o it_o hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o good_a man_n love_v good_a man_n and_o not_o otherwise_o for_o good_a man_n can_v love_v evil_a nor_o evil_a man_n good_a man_n as_o such_o for_o there_o be_v no_o great_a similitude_n than_o between_o good_a and_o good_a for_o the_o reason_n why_o we_o call_v or_o esteem_v a_o thing_n good_a be_v this_o that_o it_o benefit_n we_o and_o that_o we_o be_v make_v partaker_n of_o its_o goodness_n and_o so_o here_o the_o first_o cause_n of_o similitude_n be_v still_o militant_a so_o likewise_o when_o one_o thing_n give_v be_v to_o another_o as_o when_o god_n and_o christ_n give_v be_v to_o creature_n as_o from_o who_o have_v every_o true_a essence_n proceed_v here_o be_v in_o like_a manner_n a_o certain_a similitude_n for_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o the_o creature_n shall_v not_o in_o some_o thing_n be_v like_o their_o creator_n and_o agree_v with_o he_o in_o some_o attribute_n or_o perfection_n this_o be_v suppose_v a_o touchstone_n we_o shall_v now_o return_v to_o our_o subject_a matter_n i._n e._n to_o examine_v whether_o spirit_n and_o body_n be_v of_o one_o nature_n and_o substance_n and_o so_o convertible_a one_o into_o another_o therefore_o i_o demand_v what_o be_v the_o reason_n that_o the_o spirit_n or_o soul_n so_o love_v the_o body_n wherewith_o it_o be_v unite_v and_o so_o unwilling_o depart_v out_o of_o it_o that_o it_o have_v be_v manifest_o notorious_a the_o soul_n of_o some_o have_v attend_v on_o and_o be_v subject_n to_o their_o body_n after_o the_o body_n be_v dead_a until_o it_o be_v corrupt_v and_o dissolve_v into_o dust_n that_o the_o spirit_n or_o soul_n give_v a_o distinct_a be_v to_o the_o body_n or_o the_o body_n to_o the_o spirit_n can_v be_v the_o reason_n of_o this_o love_n for_o that_o be_v creation_n in_o a_o strict_a sense_n but_o this_o viz._n to_o give_v be_v unto_o thing_n agree_v only_o to_o god_n and_o christ_n therefore_o that_o necessary_o come_v to_o pass_v by_o reason_n of_o that_o similitude_n they_o have_v one_o with_o another_o or_o some_o affinity_n in_o their_o nature_n or_o if_o it_o be_v say_v there_o be_v a_o certain_a goodness_n in_o the_o body_n which_o move_v the_o spirit_n to_o love_v it_o certain_o this_o goodness_n must_v necessary_o answer_v to_o something_o in_o the_o soul_n which_o be_v like_o it_o otherwise_o it_o can_v not_o be_v carry_v unto_o it_o yea_o let_v they_o inform_v we_o what_o that_o goodness_n in_o the_o body_n be_v for_o which_o the_o soul_n do_v so_o servent_o love_v it_o or_o in_o what_o attribute_n or_o perfection_n a_o body_n be_v like_o a_o spirit_n if_o a_o body_n be_v nothing_o but_o a_o dead_a trunk_n and_o a_o certain_a mass_n which_o be_v altogether_o uncapable_a of_o any_o degree_n of_o life_n and_o perfection_n if_o they_o say_v a_o body_n agree_v with_o a_o spirit_n ratione_fw-la entis_fw-la or_o in_o respect_n of_o be_v that_o be_v to_o say_v as_o this_o have_v be_v so_o that_o have_v the_o same_o this_o be_v already_o refute_v in_o the_o former_a argument_n for_o if_o this_o be_v have_v no_o attribute_n or_o perfection_n wherein_o it_o may_v agree_v with_o the_o be_v of_o a_o spirit_n than_o it_o be_v only_o a_o mere_a fiction_n for_o god_n create_v no_o naked_a ens_fw-la or_o be_v which_o shall_v be_v a_o mere_a be_v and_o have_v no_o attribute_n that_o may_v be_v predicate_v of_o it_o beside_o also_o ens_fw-la be_v only_a a_o logical_a notion_n or_o term_n which_o logician_n do_v call_v genus_fw-la generalissimum_fw-la or_o the_o most_o general_a kind_a which_o in_o the_o naked_a and_o abstract_a notion_n of_o it_o be_v not_o in_o the_o thing_n themselves_o but_o only_o in_o the_o conception_n or_o humane_a intellect_n and_o therefore_o every_o true_a be_v be_v a_o certain_a single_a nature_n whereof_o may_v be_v affirm_v such_o and_o such_o attribute_n now_o what_o be_v those_o attribute_n of_o body_n wherein_o it_o resemble_v a_o spirit_n let_v we_o examine_v the_o principal_a attribute_n of_o body_n as_o distinct_a from_o a_o spirit_n according_a to_o their_o opinion_n who_o so_o much_o dispute_v that_o body_n and_o spirit_n be_v so_o infinite_o distant_a in_o nature_n that_o one_o can_v never_o become_v the_o other_o the_o attribute_n be_v these_o that_o a_o body_n be_v impenetrable_a of_o all_o other_o body_n so_o that_o the_o part_n thereof_o can_v penetrate_v each_o other_o but_o there_o be_v another_o attribute_n of_o body_n viz._n to_o be_v discerpible_a or_o divisible_a into_o part_n but_o the_o attribute_n of_o spirit_n as_o they_o define_v it_o be_v penetrability_n and_o indiscerpibility_n so_o that_o one_o spirit_n can_v penetrate_v another_o also_o that_o a_o thousand_o spirit_n can_v stand_v together_o one_o within_o another_o and_o yet_o possess_v no_o more_o space_n than_o one_o spirit_n moreover_o that_o a_o spirit_n be_v so_o simple_a and_o one_o in_o itself_o that_o it_o can_v be_v rend_v asunder_o or_o actual_o divide_v into_o separate_a part_n if_o now_o the_o attribute_n of_o body_n and_o spirit_n be_v compare_v together_o they_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v like_o one_o another_o or_o have_v any_o analogy_n of_o nature_n in_o which_o nevertheless_o the_o true_a foundation_n of_o love_n and_o unity_n do_v consist_v as_o before_o be_v say_v that_o they_o be_v plain_o contrary_a yea_o nothing_o in_o the_o whole_a world_n can_v be_v conceive_v ●o_o contrary_a to_o any_o thing_n as_o body_n and_o spirit_n in_o the_o opinion_n of_o these_o men._n for_o here_o be_v a_o pure_a and_o absolute_a contrariety_n in_o all_o their_o attribute_n because_o penetrability_n and_o impenetrability_n be_v more_o contrary_a one_o to_o another_o than_o black_a and_o white_a or_o hot_a and_o cold_a for_o that_o which_o be_v black_a may_v become_v white_a and_o that_o which_o be_v hot_a may_v become_v cold_a but_o as_o they_o say_v that_o which_o be_v impenetrable_a can_v be_v make_v penetrable_a yea_o god_n and_o creature_n do_v not_o so_o infinite_o differ_v in_o essence_n one_o from_o another_o as_o these_o doctor_n make_v body_n to_o differ_v from_o spirit_n for_o there_o be_v many_o attribute_n in_o which_o god_n and_o the_o creature_n agree_v together_o but_o we_o can_v find_v none_o wherein_o a_o body_n can_v any_o way_n agree_v with_o a_o spirit_n and_o by_o consequence_n nor_o with_o god_n who_o be_v the_o chief_a and_o pure_a of_o spirit_n wherefore_o it_o can_v be_v no_o creature_n but_o a_o mere_a nonentity_n or_o fiction_n but_o as_o body_n and_o spirit_n be_v contrary_a in_o the_o
