have_v it_o so_o natural_o that_o thou_o shall_v imagine_v that_o he_o possess_v it_o and_o happiness_n possess_v be_v of_o different_a substance_n if_o thou_o do_v think_v that_o he_o receive_v it_o

worthy_o we_o confess_v if_o we_o own_o then_o that_o the_o sovereign_n good_a be_v in_o he_o by_o nature_n and_o yet_o we_o may_v conceive_v that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o same_o that_o he_o be_v since_o we_o speak_v of_o god_n who_o be_v the_o prince_n of_o nature_n let_v he_o who_o can_v find_v out_o who_o it_o be_v that_o join_v these_o so_o differ_v thing_n last_o whatever_o do_v essential_o differ_v from_o any_o thing_n it_o can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v that_o from_o which_o it_o be_v understand_v to_o differ_v therefore_o that_o which_o be_v in_o its_o nature_n differ_v from_o the_o chief_a good_a can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o good_a itself_o which_o to_o think_v of_o god_n will_v be_v most_o impious_a and_o profane_a since_o nothing_o can_v excel_v he_o in_o goodness_n

one_o can_v be_v what_o the_o other_o be_v wherefore_o neither_o can_v be_v perfect_a when_o one_o want_v the_o other_o but_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o that_o which_o be_v not_o perfect_a can_v be_v
