he_o a_o thing_n which_o have_v subject_a &_o substance_n &_o the_o accident_n agreeable_a to_o the_o same_o as_o we_o do_v see_v in_o the_o sun_n &_o in_o his_o light_n which_o do_v light_v all_o

in_o such_o sort_n dispose_v the_o second_v cause_n that_o when_o the_o evil_a be_v a_o do_v the_o wicked_a will_n either_o of_o the_o devil_n or_o man_n come_v between_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o that_o fault_n rest_v in_o they_o albeit_o that_o god_n do_v cause_v their_o wicked_a work_n and_o will_v to_o serve_v he_o and_o make_v the_o worker_n good_a in_o so_o much_o as_o god_n be_v serve_v therewith_o as_o touch_v the_o rest_n thou_o ought_v to_o note_n that_o there_o be_v none_o which_o of_o his_o own_o nature_n be_v of_o such_o a_o unchangeable_a and_o infinite_a goodness_n but_o god_n only_o which_o be_v only_o unchangeable_a and_o the_o most_o free_a of_o all_o other_o and_o do_v give_v a_o law_n to_o all_o creature_n &_o be_v above_o all_o law_n himself_o be_v a_o law_n to_o all_o creature_n for_o the_o same_o cause_n our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n have_v say_v that_o none_o be_v good_a 19_o but_o the_o only_a god_n because_o that_o goodness_n be_v to_o he_o natural_a

shall_v also_o very_o glad_o understand_v this_o point_n of_o the_o creation_n and_o fall_n of_o the_o angel_n and_o how_o that_o god_n in_o the_o same_o have_v declare_v the_o difference_n that_o be_v between_o the_o creator_n and_o the_o creature_n and_o how_o it_o be_v only_o he_o that_o be_v perfect_a and_o unchangeable_a d._n when_o he_o do_v create_v the_o angel_n he_o create_v they_o all_o good_a for_o he_o can_v make_v they_o none_o other_o for_o somuch_o as_o he_o be_v in_o such_o sort_n good_a that_o he_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o well_o otherwise_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v god_n wherefore_o we_o may_v not_o imagine_v two_o god_n with_o the_o manichee_n the_o one_o good_a and_o the_o author_n and_o creator_n of_o good_a thing_n and_o the_o other_o evil_n and_o the_o author_n and_o creator_n of_o evil_n for_o the_o evil_n can_v not_o be_v god_n nor_o any_o other_o than_o the_o devil_n himself_o which_o be_v a_o creature_n and_o not_o a_o creator_n although_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o evil_a who_o notwithstanding_o be_v not_o create_v such_o a_o one_o of_o god_n but_o be_v become_v such_o of_o his_o own_o malice_n when_o he_o turn_v away_o from_o
