will_v first_o note_n that_o there_o be_v three_o sort_n of_o motion_n in_o the_o whole_a world_n for_o there_o be_v one_o which_o tend_v to_o the_o midst_n and_o to_o the_o centre_n of_o the_o

do_v most_o participate_v with_o they_o then_o be_v there_o another_o motion_n contrary_a to_o the_o first_o which_o always_o tend_v from_o the_o midst_n and_o from_o below_o upward_o and_o this_o be_v proper_a to_o the_o most_o light_a element_n and_o to_o those_o nature_n which_o do_v near_o approach_v unto_o they_o and_o which_o participate_v with_o their_o quality_n more_o than_o the_o

a_o circle_n or_o a_o wheel_n and_o this_o be_v that_o which_o be_v proper_a to_o heaven_n and_o to_o the_o spherical_a body_n be_v most_o certain_a dispose_v and_o compose_v by_o a_o most_o

change_v according_a as_o the_o inferior_a body_n be_v subject_a to_o the_o superior_a but_o those_o have_v a_o more_o certain_a course_n because_o they_o depend_v not_o upon_o other_o body_n which_o be_v above_o they_o but_o immediate_o upon_o god_n without_o the_o mean_n of_o any_o other_o corporal_a nature_n and_o therefore_o of_o all_o the_o motion_n which_o be_v in_o all_o creature_n that_o of_o the_o heaven_n and_o heavenly_a body_n be_v chief_a and_o most_o excellent_a angel_n of_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o sphere_n attribute_v to_o the_o angel_n for_o whereas_o some_o attribute_n

most_o certain_a that_o the_o heaven_n have_v their_o motion_n immediate_o from_o god_n see_v there_o be_v no_o corporal_a nature_n above_o they_o whereby_o they_o may_v be_v move_v for_o the_o

since_o it_o be_v so_o much_o hide_v from_o man_n now_o in_o that_o the_o celestial_a body_n and_o the_o element_n and_o all_o creature_n have_v their_o proper_a motion_n wherein_o they_o continue_v according_a to_o the_o first_o ordinance_n establish_v in_o nature_n by_o the_o sovereign_a creator_n thereof_o we_o be_v much_o to_o admire_v both_o the_o cause_n and_o effect_n of_o such_o a_o

nature_n every_o creature_n follow_v his_o own_o nature_n a_o appetite_n or_o universal_a inclination_n in_o all_o creature_n which_o urge_v and_o incit_v they_o to_o desire_v and_o search_v that_o which_o agree_v with_o their_o nature_n so_o that_o there_o be_v none_o so_o insensible_a which_o have_v not_o in_o itself_o this_o amity_n innate_a which_o ever_o push_v it_o to_o follow_v the_o nature_n thereof_o and_o for_o this_o cause_n may_v we_o say_v that_o all_o motion_n proceed_v from_o love_n and_o pass_v further_o we_o may_v contemplate_v the_o love_n of_o god_n as_o the_o eternal_a source_n of_o amity_n and_o inclination_n of_o all_o nature_n and_o as_o the_o first_o cause_n of_o cause_n and_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o in_o the_o same_o love_n god_n love_v himself_o proceed_v to_o his_o work_n which_o hitherto_o we_o have_v celebrate_v and_o do_v now_o mean_a to_o prosecute_v for_o since_o that_o god_n be_v the_o sovereign_a good_a &_o that_o all_o goodness_n

of_o man_n and_o then_o again_o in_o the_o restauration_n and_o reparation_n of_o his_o fall_n so_o we_o learn_v that_o the_o first_o motion_n whereupon_o all_o the_o rest_n depend_v be_v the_o love_n of_o god_n which_o proceed_v from_o his_o bounty_n which_o he_o will_v not_o keep_v shut_v up_o nor_o enclose_v in_o himself_o but_o will_v manifest_v and_o communicate_v it_o with_o his_o creature_n who_o he_o have_v create_v to_o the_o end_n that_o he_o may_v be_v glorify_v in_o they_o and_o by_o they_o and_o as_o he_o love_v they_o for_o his_o own_o love_n sake_n and_o for_o that_o they_o be_v his_o work_n so_o have_v he_o set_v in_o they_o the_o seed_n of_o love_n both_o towards_o he_o and_o towards_o themselves_o according_a to_o the_o diverse_a nature_n which_o he_o have_v confer_v upon_o they_o it_o be_v then_o this_o natural_a love_n which_o constrain_v they_o by_o a_o secret_a feel_n of_o nature_n imprint_v even_o in_o those_o essence_n which_o have_v neither_o reason_n nor_o

because_o it_o be_v good_a and_o therefore_o good_a be_v do_v according_a to_o his_o will_n and_o because_o it_o please_v he_o to_o judge_v it_o and_o approve_v it_o for_o such_o whereupon_o we_o may_v conclude_v that_o love_n and_o amity_n be_v the_o good_a by_o which_o all_o creature_n have_v a_o accord_n and_o agreement_n first_o with_o god_n their_o creator_n and_o then_o one_o with_o
