further_o illustrate_v thus_o the_o same_o thing_n can_v at_o the_o same_o time_n have_v two_o real_a colour_n red_a and_o white_a but_o the_o white_a cloth_n though_o shadow_v with_o red_a from_o

a_o infinite_a duration_n of_o time_n i_o use_v these_o term_n although_o god_n immensity_n infinite_o exceed_v place_n his_o eternity_n all_o time_n and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o may_v be_v because_o we_o conceive_v a_o most_o unlimited_a nothing_o beyond_o this_o world_n and_o most_o unconceivable_a eternity_n when_o this_o world_n be_v not_o and_o shall_v not_o be_v now_o say_v he_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v no_o internal_a production_n in_o god_n there_o will_v be_v a_o infinite_a vacuity_n in_o which_o be_v no_o production_n and_o a_o infinite_a time_n in_o which_o there_o be_v none_o and_o then_o in_o all_o that_o vacuity_n and_o duration_n god_n be_v idle_a and_o produce_v nothing_o which_o be_v little_o less_o than_o blasphemy_n for_o a_o natural_a man_n to_o say_v for_o he_o observe'_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o unactive_a in_o the_o whole_a being_n of_o nature_n and_o the_o more_o excellent_a any_o thing_n be_v the_o high_a it_o grow_v in_o action_n and_o the_o more_o noble_a the_o effect_n it_o must_v be_v so_o in_o god_n then_o unless_o we_o conceive_v something_o unworthy_o of_o he_o this_o i_o apprehend_v to_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o that_o argument_n but_o he_o mole_n be_v i_n to_o the_o dignity_n and_o flower_n of_o his_o arbour_n divinalis_fw-la for_o the_o dignity_n i_o find_v reckon_v god_n goodness_n and_o greatness_n which_o we_o call_v his_o immensity_n his_o eternity_n etc._n etc._n new_a say_v he_o all_o these_o have_v their_o effect_n his_o goodness_n produce_v that_o which_o be_v good_a his_o immensity_n that_o which_o be_v such_o his_o eternity_n the_o like_a etc._n etc._n in_o all_o his_o other_o dignity_n and_o all_o these_o be_v essential_o in_o god_n yea_o god_n as_o he_o speak_v often_o there_o be_v necessity_n that_o either_o eternal_o he_o must_v produce_v somewhat_o or_o be_v idle_a thus_o i_o think_v i_o have_v make_v good_a this_o proposition_n against_o vasques_n his_o first_o answer_n that_o there_o must_v be_v some_o effect_n produce_v but_o he_o have_v another_o answer_n s_n 7._o again_o say_v he_o his_o reason_n to_o prove_v that_o there_o be_v a_o act_n of_o production_n in_o god_n he_o be_v because_o he_o be_v bonificativum_fw-la bonificare_fw-la &_o bonificabile_fw-la that_o be_v make_v good_a and_o the_o act_n to_o make_v good_a and_o the_o thing_n make_v good_a this_o say_v he_o be_v frivolous_a for_o say_v he_o this_o act_n be_v not_o that_o which_o faith_n teach_v to_o be_v the_o production_n of_o a_o person_n and_o a_o rational_a operation_n but_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a act_n not_o of_o a_o efficient_a or_o produce_v cause_n but_o of_o a_o formal_a cause_n as_o we_o say_v whiteness_n make_v a_o thing_n white_a by_o his_o leave_n first_o i_o find_v he_o have_v read_v more_o in_o lul_n his_o argument_n than_o he_o set_v down_o or_o else_o he_o can_v not_o have_v urge_v this_o now_o for_o proof_n of_o that_o which_o he_o say_v before_o he_o leave_v unprove_v second_o the_o proposition_n to_o be_v prove_v be_v not_o that_o there_o be_v a_o production_n of_o a_o person_n for_o that_o be_v the_o conclusion_n before_o to_o be_v prove_v and_o this_o that_o there_o be_v a_o real_a production_n be_v the_o medium_n from_o whence_o that_o will_v follow_v for_o if_o there_o be_v a_o eternal_a production_n it_o must_v be_v another_o essence_n or_o a_o other_o person_n the_o first_o be_v impossible_a therefore_o the_o second_o must_v be_v and_o then_o last_o i_o answer_v that_o bonification_n formal_a as_o make_v good_a be_v not_o only_o take_v for_o a_o form_n but_o a_o efficient_a cause_n which_o may_v be_v thus_o prove_v first_o from_o god_n goodness_n and_o the_o infinite_a excellency_n of_o it_o now_o goodness_n in_o its_o own_o nature_n be_v communicative_a in_o morality_n a_o good_a rich_a man_n give_v we_o more_o than_o a_o poor_a good_a man_n a_o good_a wise_a man_n communicate_n his_o wisdom_n etc._n etc._n in_o nature_n it_o be_v a_o excellence_n of_o fire_n not_o only_o that_o it_o be_v warm_a in_o itself_o but_o that_o it_o communicate_n this_o warmth_n to_o other_o thing_n of_o the_o sun_n not_o only_o that_o it_o be_v light_n but_o that_o it_o do_v enlighten_v of_o any_o thing_n that_o it_o be_v good_a and_o that_o it_o do_v communicate_v that_o goodness_n so_o then_o see_v if_o nature_n do_v not_o teach_v we_o that_o if_o god_n be_v a_o infinite_a good_a he_o must_v communicate_v and_o produce_v a_o infinite_a good_a thus_o may_v we_o discourse_v from_o his_o infinite_a power_n if_o good_a and_o powerful_a both_o then_o why_o shall_v he_o not_o produce_v some_o infinite_a effect_n that_o be_v infinite_o good_a for_o else_o his_o power_n shall_v be_v without_o a_o act_n proportionable_a let_v no_o man_n talk_v of_o this_o world_n this_o be_v make_v in_o time_n and_o there_o will_v have_v be_v a_o infinite_a duration_n without_o it_o or_o that_o he_o may_v make_v other_o work_n before_o it_o they_o must_v be_v all_o in_o time_n beside_o that_o they_o be_v finite_a thing_n which_o do_v not_o can_v extend_v themselves_o to_o the_o expression_n of_o such_o a_o infinite_a excellency_n and_o then_o let_v i_o urge_v from_o that_o other_o medium_n aequiparantiae_fw-la before_o speak_v of_o power_n be_v know_v by_o their_o act_n and_o by_o their_o object_n all_o the_o world_n acknowledge_v god_n to_o have_v a_o infinite_a power_n where_o be_v the_o infinite_a act_n the_o infinite_a production_n and_o then_o conceive_v that_o this_o infinite_a goodness_n and_o power_n be_v eternal_a this_o production_n must_v needs_o be_v such_o if_o at_o all_o because_o else_o there_o will_v be_v a_o duration_n in_o which_o this_o power_n be_v not_o produce_v into_o act_n in_o which_o this_o goodness_n produce_v no_o good_a thus_o far_o i_o think_v i_o have_v vindicate_v lul_n and_o the_o conclusion_n out_o of_o invincible_a reason_n that_o there_o be_v a_o plurality_n of_o person_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v that_o god_n eternal_o produce_v some_o infinite_o good_a effect_n which_o because_o it_o cannoâ—_n be_v another_o essential_a god_n must_v be_v another_o person_n if_o you_o will_v have_v thiâ—_n discourse_v draw_v into_o a_o perfect_a syllogism_n production_n take_v it_o thus_o that_o which_o be_v infinite_a in_o power_n goodness_n immensity_n eternity_n perfection_n must_v produce_v such_o a_o effect_n eternal_o but_o god_n be_v infinite_a in_o power_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o god_n must_v produce_v a_o effect_n
