who_o all_o agree_v on_o that_o side_n of_o the_o question_n which_o direct_o contradict_v this_o author_n catholic_n faith_n of_o immanent_a acts._n the_o true_a occasion_n of_o this_o dispute_n as_o

arian_n and_o eunomian_o about_o the_o eternal_a generation_n of_o the_o son_n or_o word_n use_v this_o argument_n that_o god_n be_v never_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d without_o his_o word_n or_o wisdom_n not_o that_o they_o have_v no_o other_o argument_n to_o prove_v the_o eternity_n of_o the_o son_n as_o this_o author_n represent_v it_o but_o that_o they_o think_v this_o a_o very_a good_a one_o now_o the_o force_n of_o this_o argument_n seem_v to_o be_v this_o that_o god_n be_v always_o wise_a and_o therefore_o that_o person_n who_o be_v the_o word_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n must_v have_v always_o be_v with_o he_o as_o eternal_a as_o god_n be_v and_o to_o make_v this_o a_o good_a argument_n the_o necessary_a consequence_n seem_v to_o be_v that_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n who_o be_v the_o beget_v word_n and_o wisdom_n of_o the_o father_n be_v the_o personal_a wisdom_n of_o the_o father_n that_o wisdom_n wherewith_o the_o father_n be_v wise_a and_o the_o difficulty_n of_o this_o be_v how_o this_o begotten_a wisdom_n which_o be_v a_o distinct_a person_n from_o the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n shall_v be_v that_o wisdom_n whereby_o the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n be_v wise_a how_o they_o justify_v this_o argument_n and_o yet_o avoid_v such_o absurdity_n be_v too_o long_o now_o to_o account_v for_o those_o who_o please_v may_v consult_v st._n austin_n for_o it_o but_o i_o hope_v every_o one_o see_v that_o both_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o question_n the_o nature_n of_o those_o difficulty_n it_o be_v encumber_a with_o and_o their_o determination_n of_o the_o point_n be_v all_o direct_a contradiction_n to_o what_o this_o author_n allege_v it_o for_o and_o now_o let_v we_o hear_v what_o our_o author_n be_v learned_a cabassutius_n say_v but_o

of_o the_o father_n that_o be_v he_o not_o eternal_a the_o father_n can_v not_o be_v always_o wise_a from_o the_o exception_n of_o st._n austin_n this_o he_o do_v by_o a_o distinction_n borrow_v
