well_o hereafter_o but_o when_o we_o judge_v rash_o of_o thing_n without_o consult_v any_o other_o master_n than_o our_o imagination_n or_o the_o doctrine_n of_o certain_a false-learned_n it_o be_v

know_v his_o will_n that_o cause_v it_o be_v the_o principle_n of_o the_o mutability_n corruption_n and_o generation_n of_o all_o different_a body_n thus_o god_n see_v in_o himself_o the_o corruption_n of_o all_o thing_n though_o he_o be_v incorruptible_a for_o whilst_o he_o see_v in_o his_o wisdom_n the_o incorruptible_a idea_n he_o see_v in_o his_o will_n all_o corruptible_a thing_n since_o nothing_o happen_v but_o be_v do_v by_o he_o now_o i_o will_v tell_v you_o how_o we_o see_v all_o those_o thing_n in_o god_n all_o idea_n and_o immutable_a truth_n we_o see_v in_o he_o as_o for_o transitory_a truth_n we_o do_v not_o know_v they_o in_o the_o will_n of_o god_n as_o god_n himself_o do_v for_o his_o will_n be_v unknown_a to_o we_o but_o we_o know_v they_o by_o the_o sentiment_n god_n cause_v in_o we_o at_o their_o presence_n thus_o when_o i_o see_v the_o sun_n i_o see_v the_o idea_n of_o a_o circle_n in_o god_n and_o have_v in_o myself_o the_o sentiment_n of_o

certain_o can_v cause_v it_o in_o i_o since_o he_o be_v almighty_a and_o see_v in_o the_o idea_n he_o have_v of_o my_o soul_n that_o i_o be_o capable_a of_o sentiment_n thus_o in_o all_o our_o sensible_a knowledge_n of_o corruptible_a thing_n there_o be_v pure_a idea_n and_o sentiment_n the_o idea_n be_v in_o god_n the_o sentiment_n in_o we_o but_o god_n alone_o be_v the_o true_a cause_n of_o both_o the_o idea_n represent_v the_o essence_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o the_o sentiment_n only_o make_v we_o believe_v that_o it_o exist_v since_o it_o dispose_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o the_o thing_n cause_v it_o in_o we_o because_o it_o be_v then_o present_a to_o our_o mind_n and_o not_o the_o will_n of_o god_n which_o alone_o cause_v that_o sentiment_n in_o we_o arist_n i_o own_o that_o god_n can_v enlighten_v we_o and_o show_v we_o in_o himself_o all_o the_o idea_n we_o have_v of_o thing_n but_o why_o shall_v you_o have_v your_o recourse_n to_o this_o last_o refuge_n at_o least_o

wood_n strike_v against_o the_o linen_n impart_v their_o motion_n to_o the_o particle_n of_o water_n that_o be_v in_o it_o and_o loosen_v they_o from_o the_o linen_n and_o i_o shall_v have_v give_v the_o particular_a cause_n of_o the_o particular_a effect_n but_o if_o one_o ask_v i_o why_o the_o particle_n of_o the_o will_v agitate_v those_o of_o the_o water_n or_o why_o body_n communicate_v their_o motion_n to_o those_o they_o meet_v i_o shall_v not_o be_v a_o philosopher_n do_v i_o seek_v some_o particular_a cause_n of_o that_o general_a effect_n i_o ought_v to_o have_v recourse_n to_o
