the_o creature_n 4._o four_o consider_v that_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n be_v equal_a and_o needs_o must_v be_v so_o because_o every_o attribute_n be_v his_o essence_n and_o we_o do_v but_o distinguish_v then_o in_o our_o understanding_n his_o omnipotency_n be_v but_o the_o active_a power_n his_o will_v the_o command_a and_o his_o understanding_n the_o direct_n we_o distinguish_v they_o thus_o but_o in_o he_o they_o be_v all_o one_o hence_o i_o reason_v thus_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n the_o largeness_n and_o infiniteness_n of_o his_o understanding_n and_o knowledge_n what_o be_v it_o not_o able_a to_o conceive_v you_o know_v man_n be_v able_a to_o think_v much_o and_o angel_n more_o than_o man_n but_o god_n be_v able_a to_o conceive_v infinite_o beyond_o they_o for_o his_o thought_n be_v above_o we_o as_o the_o heaven_n be_v above_o the_o earth_n now_o whatsoever_o he_o can_v conceive_v his_o power_n be_v able_a to_o act_v it_o in_o man_n it_o be_v not_o so_o he_o imagine_v and_o will_v many_o thing_n but_o his_o power_n fall_v short_a because_o his_o faculty_n be_v not_o as_o large_a as_o the_o object_n but_o god_n can_v imagine_v infinite_o and_o his_o power_n be_v as_o large_a and_o infinite_a as_o his_o wisdom_n therefore_o he_o must_v be_v able_a to_o do_v thing_n that_o be_v infinite_a so_o psa_n 135._o he_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o will_v to_o

you_o shall_v find_v need_n of_o they_o to_o persuade_v you_o that_o god_n be_v almighty_a now_o i_o come_v to_o answer_v the_o objection_n which_o be_v make_v against_o this_o which_o be_v these_o object_n 1_o first_o why_o do_v god_n produce_v no_o infinite_a thing_n no_o infinite_a effect_n all_o his_o effect_n be_v finite_a therefore_o we_o can_v see_v by_o any_o thing_n he_o do_v that_o he_o be_v omnipotent_a answ._n it_o be_v true_a in_o natural_a cause_n and_o such_o cause_n as_o produce_v thing_n only_o like_a to_o themselves_o which_o be_v call_v univocal_a cause_n but_o i_o will_v not_o trouble_v you_o with_o that_o distinction_n there_o the_o cause_n go_v not_o beyond_o the_o effect_n as_o fire_n beget_v fire_n and_o it_o can_v but_o beget_v it_o and_o it_o can_v go_v beyond_o it_o for_o it_o be_v a_o natural_a cause_n and_o produce_v effect_n like_a to_o itself_o so_o a_o lion_n beget_v a_o lion_n because_o it_o be_v a_o natural_a cause_n but_o there_o be_v cause_n wherein_o it_o be_v not_o so_o wherein_o you_o must_v not_o say_v that_o there_o be_v no_o such_o effect_n and_o therefore_o the_o cause_n do_v not_o go_v beyond_o it_o that_o be_v in_o voluntary_a cause_n wherein_o the_o cause_n not_o work_v necessary_o but_o by_o the_o liberty_n of_o his_o will_n and_o he_o may_v be_v able_a to_o do_v much_o more_o than_o he_o do_v object_n 2_o 2._o there_o be_v some_o thing_n which_o god_n can_v do_v as_o thing_n that_o be_v past_a and_o have_v be_v he_o can_v cause_v they_o not_o to_o have_v be_v etc._n etc._n answ._n the_o reason_n why_o god_n can_v do_v these_o thing_n be_v not_o because_o there_o be_v a_o restraint_n of_o his_o power_n but_o because_o the_o thing_n be_v not_o possible_a to_o be_v do_v because_o he_o can_v make_v truth_n to_o be_v falsehood_n or_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o to_o be_v whatsoever_o imply_v a_o contradiction_n he_o can_v do_v and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o thing_n be_v not_o to_o be_v do_v but_o in_o thing_n simple_o possible_a therein_o consist_v his_o omnipotence_n as_o when_o it_o be_v not_o contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n as_o when_o the_o predicate_a be_v not_o repugnant_a to_o the_o nature_n and_o essence_n of_o the_o subject_n as_o a_o lion_n be_v a_o lion_n can_v be_v a_o man_n this_o be_v a_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v do_v therefore_o it_o be_v no_o impeachment_n to_o his_o omnipotence_n not_o to_o do_v it_o object_n 3_o 3._o god_n can_v sin_v god_n can_v deny_v himself_o he_o can_v lie_v etc._n etc._n answ._n we_o need_v not_o answer_v this_o for_o even_o for_o this_o cause_n he_o be_v omnipotent_a because_o he_o can_v do_v these_o thing_n as_o if_o i_o shall_v say_v the_o sun_n be_v full_a of_o light_n it_o can_v be_v dark_a these_o be_v the_o expression_n which_o the_o scripture_n use_v as_o tit._n 1.2_o god_n can_v lie_v and_o 2_o tim._n 2.13_o god_n can_v deny_v himself_o finis_fw-la the_o eighteen_o sermon_n exod._n 3.13_o 14._o and_o moses_n say_v unto_o god_n behold_v when_o i_o come_v unto_o the_o child_n of_o israel_n and_o shall_v say_v unto_o they_o the_o god_n of_o your_o father_n have_v send_v i_o unto_o you_o and_o they_o shall_v say_v unto_o i_o what_o be_v his_o name_n what_o shall_v i_o say_v unto_o they_o and_o god_n say_v unto_o moses_n i_o be_o that_o i_o be_o etc._n etc._n object_n 4_o if_o god_n produce_v no_o infinite_a effect_n and_o yet_o be_v infinite_a in_o power_n that_o power_n which_o be_v never_o bring_v into_o act_n be_v in_o vain_a answ._n 1_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o it_o be_v true_a when_o any_o power_n be_v appoint_v and_o destinate_a to_o any_o act_n it_o be_v so_o far_o in_o vain_a as_o it_o do_v not_o attain_v to_o that_o end_n and_o act_v as_o bread_n be_v appoint_v to_o nourish_v if_o it_o do_v not_o it_o be_v not_o fit_a for_o the_o end_n to_o which_o it_o be_v make_v and_o so_o in_o vain_a i_o may_v say_v the_o same_o of_o every_o thing_n else_o but_o that_o be_v not_o the_o end_n of_o god_n power_n to_o bring_v forth_o any_o effect_n answerable_a to_o itself_o for_o his_o power_n to_o speak_v proper_o have_v no_o end_n but_o all_o thing_n be_v make_v for_o it_o in_o other_o thing_n the_o cause_n be_v proportionable_a for_o its_o end_n but_o he_o himself_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o other_o thing_n all_o that_o he_o do_v be_v for_o himself_o and_o therefore_o though_o he_o do_v not_o produce_v any_o such_o effect_n yet_o his_o power_n be_v infinite_a second_o when_o there_o be_v a_o repugnancy_n in_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o thing_n it_o be_v no_o shorten_v or_o limitation_n of_o his_o power_n now_o a_o creature_n if_o it_o be_v a_o creature_n must_v be_v finite_a and_o the_o lord_n can_v do_v what_o may_v be_v do_v but_o to_o make_v a_o creature_n infinite_a be_v a_o contradiction_n and_o therefore_o if_o he_o do_v not_o do_v it_o it_o be_v not_o because_o he_o can_v but_o because_o the_o thing_n itself_o can_v be_v do_v we_o now_o come_v to_o the_o application_n of_o this_o point_n use_v 1_o if_o god_n be_v almighty_a then_o let_v all_o those_o that_o be_v in_o covenant_n with_o god_n and_o that_o have_v
