other_o three_o be_v clear_a from_o the_o reason_n
first_o lay_v down_o in_o relation_n to_o that_o which_o have_v but_o a_o bare_a be_v in_o that_o there_o be_v and_o must_v be_v a_o congruity_n and_o likeness_n between_o the_o cause_n and_o itself_o but_o here_o be_v none_o beside_o if_o man_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o that_o which_o have_v only_o a_o bare_a be_v and_o that_o which_o have_v be_v and_o life_n and_o sense_n why_o do_v he_o not_o do_v the_o like_a and_o why_o do_v he_o sometime_o perish_v for_o want_v etc._n etc._n and_o that_o he_o also_o be_v not_o the_o first_o cause_n of_o himself_o will_v appear_v from_o these_o ground_n 1._o if_o he_o have_v make_v himself_o he_o will_v have_v have_v power_n to_o have_v keep_v himself_o from_o be_v unmake_v for_o that_o power_n that_o have_v ability_n to_o make_v have_v power_n to_o preserve_v and_o keep_v itself_o from_o be_v unmake_v or_o dissolve_v 2._o he_o will_v make_v man_n when_o he_o have_v a_o mind_n if_o this_o be_v so_o no_o man_n and_o woman_n that_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o have_v child_n will_v be_v without_o they_o and_o when_o they_o will_v have_v a_o son_n they_o will_v not_o have_v a_o daughter_n 3._o they_o will_v not_o have_v have_v defect_n &_o

will_v have_v know_v themselves_o before_o bring_v forth_o for_o in_o make_v always_o know_v go_v with_o power_n and_o power_n with_o understanding_n and_o then_o before_o it_o be_v it_o be_v know_v but_o the_o contrary_n be_v see_v daily_o 5._o there_o be_v something_o in_o man_n that_o show_v there_o be_v something_o above_o he_o consider_v what_o be_v the_o chief_a part_n in_o man_n or_o of_o man_n it_o be_v his_o mind_n that_o be_v above_o all_o the_o rest_n in_o he_o his_o mind_n run_v out_o to_o variety_n and_o go_v up_o to_o the_o heaven_n and_o to_o the_o further_a part_n of_o the_o world_n and_o yet_o sit_v at_o home_n in_o the_o body_n and_o this_o mind_n of_o man_n that_o be_v above_o all_o other_o part_n of_o man_n and_o know_v all_o yet_o it_o do_v not_o know_v itself_o so_o it_o be_v only_o knowable_a to_o something_o above_o it_o and_o there_o be_v nothing_o above_o it_o in_o man_n therefore_o that_o above_o it_o be_v a_o power_n beyond_o it_o and_o that_o be_v god_n beside_o the_o whole_a man_n can_v satisfy_v the_o mind_n nor_o the_o mind_n as_o the_o mind_n can_v satisfy_v itself_o but_o it_o must_v be_v something_o beside_o it_o and_o beyond_o it_o and_o above_o it_o that_o be_v better_a and_o high_o and_o that_o be_v god_n 6._o many_o of_o the_o reason_n which_o be_v express_v before_o in_o relation_n to_o the_o other_o three_o if_o mind_v will_v prove_v this_o that_o man_n be_v not_o the_o chief_a cause_n or_o first_o original_a of_o himself_o beside_o these_o reason_n from_o each_o particular_a there_o be_v and_o may_v be_v reason_n draw_v from_o all_o together_o to_o prove_v that_o they_o be_v not_o their_o own_o cause_n nor_o the_o first_o and_o chief_a original_a cause_n of_o each_o other_o but_o it_o must_v be_v from_o a_o high_a above_o all_o before_o all_o who_o be_v the_o original_a cause_n and_o maker_n of_o all_o and_o each_o and_o the_o consideration_n that_o will_v clear_o prove_v it_o be_v these_o 1._o the_o admirable_a congruity_n and_o harmony_n that_o be_v between_o those_o variety_n of_o body_n and_o though_o very_o different_a each_o from_o other_o yet_o agree_v which_o can_v be_v from_o themselves_o but_o from_o something_o above_o they_o 2._o the_o admirable_a submission_n each_o to_o other_o both_o in_o power_n and_o property_n the_o great_a to_o the_o lesser_a the_o high_a to_o the_o low_a which_o can_v be_v from_o themselves_o but_o something_o that_o be_v not_o they_o but_o above_o and_o beyond_o they_o and_o that_o be_v god_n 3._o the_o unexpressible_a subsistence_n each_o by_o other_o and_o each_o from_o other_o and_o so_o each_o consider_v in_o self_n which_o in_o such_o contrary_a nature_n and_o variety_n of_o property_n can_v not_o natural_o do_v it_o be_v there_o not_o something_o that_o be_v supernatural_a above_o all_o and_o that_o be_v god_n 4._o a_o four_o consideration_n be_v upon_o the_o account_n of_o the_o further_a end_n of_o the_o least_o and_o low_a and_o the_o ultimate_a end_n of_o the_o high_a and_o chief_a from_o all_o which_o right_o mind_v and_o consider_v you_o must_v conclude_v some_o power_n before_o all_o and_o above_o all_o as_o the_o cause_n and_o chief_a lord_n over_o all_o and_o that_o be_v god_n let_v we_o go_v over_o these_o four_o a_o little_o large_a in_o way_n of_o contemplation_n as_o 1._o of_o the_o congruity_n and_o sweet_a harmony_n in_o those_o variety_n of_o body_n if_o you_o look_v upward_o you_o will_v see_v their_o infinite_a moving_n different_a and_o yet_o not_o trouble_v each_o at_o other_o nor_o to_o each_o other_o if_o you_o look_v downward_o you_o see_v the_o sea_n continual_o move_v above_o the_o earth_n and_o yet_o not_o pass_v there_o its_o bound_n but_o abide_v as_o two_o espouse_a each_o to_o other_o we_o also_o behold_v all_o the_o creature_n of_o different_a kind_n and_o property_n and_o yet_o how_o do_v they_o concur_v and_o agree_v together_o the_o tame_a one_o abide_v in_o flock_n among_o man_n for_o their_o use_n the_o wild_a one_o that_o have_v strength_n to_o destroy_v man_n they_o abide_v in_o desert_n as_o if_o they_o be_v agree_v so_o to_o do_v sure_o this_o must_v be_v from_o a_o power_n beyond_o and_o above_o all_o these_o and_o now_o go_v to_o man_n or_o into_o man_n that_o be_v a_o abridgement_n of_o the_o whole_a universe_n a_o body_n fit_a for_o all_o sort_n of_o moving_n and_o a_o soul_n without_o remove_v make_v the_o body_n move_v which_o way_n it_o please_v and_o by_o reason_n guide_v and_o govern_v all_o in_o such_o a_o admirable_a congruity_n and_o harmony_n that_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o something_o above_o all_o must_v thus_o guide_v lead_v and_o order_n all_o and_o that_o be_v god_n 2._o consider_v the_o strength_n and_o admirable_a submission_n each_o to_o other_o though_o of_o great_a difference_n both_o in_o power_n and_o property_n yet_o all_o act_v as_o if_o each_o be_v servant_n to_o the_o rest_n the_o heaven_n submissive_o serve_v the_o earth_n and_o the_o earth_n the_o herb_n plant_n and_o grass_n and_o these_o serve_v the_o cattle_n and_o the_o cattle_n serve_v man_n and_o man_n serve_v the_o ground_n by_o till_v and_o the_o cattle_n by_o look_v and_o provide_v for_o they_o o_o the_o strong_a reciprocal_a submission_n and_o servitude_n this_o must_v be_v from_o a_o power_n beyond_o and_o above_o all_o and_o that_o be_v god_n 3._o the_o unexpressible_a subsistence_n you_o see_v the_o sea_n about_o the_o earth_n which_o seem_v continual_o to_o threaten_v the_o earth_n and_o yet_o keep_v within_o their_o bound_n the_o earth_n heavy_a and_o massy_a and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o settle_v or_o rather_o hang_v in_o the_o air_n the_o winter_n seem_v to_o destroy_v the_o herb_n etc._n etc._n the_o summer_n again_o revive_v they_o the_o beast_n strong_a than_o man_n and_o able_a to_o destroy_v they_o and_o will_v do_v so_o do_v not_o a_o high_a power_n keep_v they_o in_o and_o yet_o they_o submit_v and_o all_o subsist_v together_o o_o this_o must_v be_v from_o a_o power_n above_o all_o and_o that_o be_v god_n 4._o consider_v the_o further_a end_n of_o the_o least_o and_o the_o ultimate_a end_n of_o the_o chief_a what_o be_v or_o can_v be_v less_o than_o a_o bare_a be_v as_o earth_n air_n water_n etc._n etc._n they_o have_v only_o a_o bare_a be_v now_o what_o be_v next_o to_o that_o but_o a_o not-being_a and_o that_o be_v nothing_o now_o this_o be_v a_o mixim_n that_o between_o something_o and_o nothing_o let_v it_o be_v never_o so_o small_a yet_o there_o â—…s_v a_o infinite_a space_n and_o nothing_o but_o a_o infinite_a power_n can_v bring_v something_o out_o of_o nothing_o now_o before_o be_v no_o be_v can_v cause_v a_o be_v but_o it_o must_v be_v from_o another_o cause_n now_o
