how_o all_o creature_n be_v good_a and_o yet_o none_o be_v good_a but_o god_n himself_o desire_n i_o be_o not_o yet_o resolve_v by_o thy_o allege_v reason_n consider_v thou_o say_v that_o god_n be_v

that_o whatsoever_o god_n have_v make_v must_v of_o necessity_n be_v very_o good_a beside_o consider_v man_n be_v the_o most_o excellent_a of_o all_o corporal_a creature_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o

not_o maintain_v a_o long_a disputation_n with_o thou_o for_o that_o disagree_v with_o the_o rule_n of_o humility_n only_o i_o will_v open_v what_o i_o have_v say_v more_o at_o large_a that_o thou_o may_v better_o understand_v my_o meaning_n the_o scripture_n say_v that_o none_o be_v good_a but_o only_a god_n which_o be_v thus_o to_o be_v understand_v that_o only_a god_n be_v essential_o good_a &_o to_o be_v good_a be_v only_o proper_a to_o he_o and_o what_o soever_o he_o have_v make_v may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v good_a participate_v in_o goodness_n give_v to_o they_o by_o god_n for_o whatsoever_o goodness_n they_o have_v be_v god_n not_o their_o own_o so_o when_o thou_o see_v good_a gift_n bestow_v on_o any_o creature_n from_o above_o thou_o must_v honour_v and_o love_v such_o a_o creature_n but_o this_o honour_n and_o love_n must_v be_v refer_v to_o god_n and_o not_o to_o the_o creature_n therefore_o ourselves_o and_o all_o creature_n be_v to_o be_v love_v of_o we_o because_o they_o be_v good_a in_o their_o essence_n or_o be_v as_o the_o creature_n of_o god_n &_o this_o be_v to_o love_n god_n in_o his_o creature_n let_v not_o therefore_o any_o man_n desire_v to_o be_v praise_v or_o honour_v for_o his_o own_o sake_n but_o for_o the_o goodness_n which_o god_n have_v bestow_v on_o he_o attribute_v and_o refer_v it_o all_o to_o god._n for_o it_o be_v one_o thing_n that_o man_n have_v from_o god_n but_o a_o other_o which_o he_o have_v of_o himself_o from_o god_n he_o have_v what_o good_a soever_o be_v but_o from_o himself_o whatsoever_o be_v ill_a he_o have_v from_o god_n that_o he_o represent_v and_o carry_v his_o image_n &_o likeness_n but_o of_o himself_o through_o wicked_a life_n and_o evell_a manner_n he_o be_v make_v altogether_o dislike_v to_o god_n also_o it_o be_v give_v to_o he_o by_o the_o grace_n of_o god_n to_o desire_v to_o be_v good_a and_o endue_v with_o virtue_n but_o of_o himself_o he_o desire_v ill_a and_o do_v those_o thing_n that_o most_o displease_v god_n from_o hence_o we_o learn_v that_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v bestow_v on_o man_n from_o above_o be_v great_o to_o be_v honour_v and_o high_o to_o be_v love_v which_o be_v the_o condition_n of_o his_o creation_n &_o his_o natural_a blessing_n &_o yet_o not_o to_o be_v love_v for_o his_o own_o sake_n but_o for_o the_o honour_n of_o god_n contrary_n those_o thing_n to_o
