our_o love_n and_o we_o be_v so_o free_a in_o the_o love_n of_o finite_a good_a that_o we_o even_o feel_v the_o secret_a reproach_n of_o our_o reason_n when_o we_o fix_v ourselves_o on_o it_o

we_o all_o the_o motion_n that_o the_o soul_n have_v towards_o good_a come_v from_o god_n and_o god_n only_o act_v for_o himself_o all_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o soul_n have_v no_o other_o end_n nor_o bind_v than_o god_n in_o the_o institution_n of_o nature_n god_n present_v to_o spirit_n no_o other_o idea_n but_o himself_o since_o he_o have_v make_v spirit_n for_o himself_o all_o the_o motion_n of_o our_o will_n be_v towards_o he_o since_o will_n move_v themselves_o towards_o those_o thing_n only_o which_o the_o spirit_n perceive_v but_o man_n think_v that_o they_o see_v creature_n in_o themselves_o the_o consent_n they_o give_v to_o the_o motion_n that_o god_n imprint_n in_o they_o end_v in_o the_o creature_n and_o it_o may_v be_v say_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o truth_n that_o the_o free_a will_n of_o man_n or_o their_o consent_n to_o the_o motion_n they_o receive_v from_o god_n tend_v to_o the_o creature_n though_o the_o natural_a motion_n of_o their_o love_n can_v tend_v only_o to_o god_n by_o this_o you_o see_v aristarchus_n that_o god_n preserve_v spirit_n for_o himself_o only_o that_o the_o faculty_n they_o enjoy_v to_o know_v and_o love_n know_v and_o love_v none_o but_o he_o that_o sinner_n do_v not_o overturn_v the_o law_n of_o nature_n that_o they_o be_v inviolable_a and_o that_o this_o general_a principle_n of_o religion_n and_o morality_n

may_v be_v say_v for_o many_o reason_n god_n incessant_o move_v spirit_n towards_o good_a either_o general_a or_o particular_a for_o all_o good_a be_v to_o be_v belove_v he_o invincible_o move_v they_o towards_o general_a good_a but_o it_o be_v otherwise_o with_o the_o impression_n he_o give_v they_o towards_o particular_a good_a god_n do_v not_o limit_v towards_o that_o good_a the_o act_n which_o he_o produce_v in_o they_o for_o if_o we_o observe_v it_o due_o we_o sufficient_o perceive_v that_o in_o the_o very_a time_n when_o we_o fix_v on_o some_o finite_a good_a we_o have_v some_o motion_n to_o go_v further_o if_o we_o will_n so_o we_o offend_v god_n by_o stop_v his_o act_n and_o not_o let_v he_o act_v in_o we_o according_a to_o the_o full_a extent_n of_o his_o act_n the_o reason_n why_o god_n move_v we_o towards_o good_a be_v because_o it_o move_v we_o towards_o he_o and_o he_o move_v we_o towards_o himself_o because_o he_o love_v himself_o it_o be_v then_o the_o love_n of_o god_n to_o himself_o that_o produce_v our_o love_n in_o we_o therefore_o our_o love_n ought_v to_o be_v like_a to_o that_o which_o god_n bear_v to_o himself_o but_o it_o be_v not_o like_o it_o when_o it_o concenter_v in_o a_o particular_a good_a it_o be_v then_o unworthy_a of_o the_o cause_n that_o have_v produce_v it_o and_o it_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v displease_v to_o he_o order_n be_v certain_o the_o essential_a and_o necessary_a will_n of_o god_n according_a to_o which_o and_o by_o which_o he_o will_v whatever_o he_o will_v for_o god_n love_v order_n he_o will_v nothing_o but_o order_n his_o will_n always_o follow_v order_n but_o a_o creature_n who_o love_v more_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v less_o lovely_a thwart_v order_n withdraws_z himself_z from_o it_o and_o even_o overthrow_v it_o as_o much_o as_o he_o be_v capable_a of_o it_o he_o resist_v then_o to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o so_o deserve_v to_o come_v into_o the_o order_n of_o his_o justice_n since_o he_o leave_v that_o of_o his_o goodness_n which_o be_v the_o first_o and_o most_o natural_a god_n alone_o can_v act_v in_o the_o soul_n and_o cause_n in_o she_o some_o pleasure_n and_o by_o his_o decree_n or_o general_a will_n that_o make_v the_o order_n of_o nature_n it_o be_v his_o desire_n that_o pleasure_n shall_v attend_v certain_a motion_n in_o the_o body_n so_o those_o that_o produce_v in_o their_o body_n these_o motion_n without_o reason_n &_o even_o against_o the_o secret_a reproach_n of_o their_o reason_n oblige_v god_n in_o consequence_n of_o his_o general_a will_n to_o remunerate_v they_o by_o please_a sentiment_n even_o in_o the_o very_a time_n when_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v punish_v they_o therefore_o use_v violence_n against_o his_o justice_n and_o offend_v he_o but_o they_o only_o use_v this_o violence_n by_o the_o love_n they_o have_v for_o particular_a good_a so_o this_o love_n offend_v god_n for_o all_o those_o who_o love_v their_o pleasure_n without_o mind_v the_o true_a cause_n that_o produce_v it_o offend_v that_o cause_n since_o god_n never_o cause_v pleasure_n with_o a_o intent_n that_o we_o shall_v fix_v on_o it_o but_o rather_o that_o we_o may_v love_v the_o cause_n that_o produce_v the_o pleasure_n and_o that_o we_o may_v unite_v with_o the_o thing_n that_o determine_v that_o cause_n to_o produce_v it_o you_o see_v therefore_o aristarchus_n that_o god_n be_v offend_v when_o we_o fix_v the_o motion_n of_o love_n he_o cause_v in_o we_o on_o particular_a good_a but_o though_o you_o may_v not_o see_v it_o you_o can_v doubt_v but_o it_o be_v so_o for_o when_o we_o confine_v our_o love_n to_o some_o particular_a good_a we_o feel_v a_o inward_a check_n in_o the_o secret_a of_o our_o reason_n and_o a_o just_a check_n be_v a_o mark_n of_o infidelity_n against_o he_o that_o cause_v it_o those_o check_n or_o reproach_n can_v proceed_v but_o from_o a_o general_a cause_n since_o they_o be_v general_o to_o be_v find_v in_o all_o mankind_n and_o must_v therefore_o be_v just_a since_o they_o be_v cause_v by_o a_o just_a god_n and_o this_o just_a god_n be_v offend_v when_o we_o confine_v our_o love_n to_o particular_a good_a this_o single_a argument_n be_v sufficient_a for_o it_o be_v unnecessary_a to_o seek_v metaphysical_a proof_n of_o a_o thing_n whereof_o we_o be_v convine_v by_o inward_a

that_o man_n must_v be_v either_o stupid_a or_o out_o of_o their_o sense_n not_o to_o see_v those_o thing_n and_o that_o those_o that_o see_v they_o and_o be_v not_o affect_v with_o they_o must_v either_o be_v mad_a or_o desperate_a but_o do_v not_o tell_v he_o so_o take_v heed_n above_o all_o thing_n you_o do_v not_o awaken_v his_o passion_n and_o principal_o his_o pride_n for_o he_o will_v

for_o himself_o that_o he_o have_v give_v some_o motion_n to_o our_o heart_n only_o to_o incline_v it_o towards_o he_o that_o therefore_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o make_v a_o ill_a use_n of_o the_o

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 light_n which_o denote_v to_o i_o that_o this_o idea_n represent_v something_o that_o be_v create_v and_o actual_o extent_n but_o i_o have_v this_o sentiment_n from_o none_o but_o god_n who_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

of_o natural_a effect_n the_o particular_a and_o the_o general_n it_o be_v ridiculous_a to_o have_v recourse_n to_o the_o general_a cause_n to_o explain_v particular_a effect_n but_o it_o be_v as_o much_o amiss_o to_o seek_v some_o particular_a cause_n to_o explain_v the_o general_a for_o example_n if_o i_o be_o ask_v why_o linen_n become_v dry_a when_o it_o be_v expose_v to_o fire_n i_o will_v not_o answer_v like_o a_o philosopher_n if_o i_o say_v that_o god_n will_v have_v it_o so_o for_o it_o be_v sufficient_o know_v that_o whatever_o happen_v be_v by_o his_o will_n it_o be_v not_o the_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

that_o consequent_o we_o must_v have_v recourse_n to_o the_o general_a cause_n when_o thesame_a effect_n have_v no_o necessary_a connexion_n with_o what_o seem_v to_o be_v its_o cause_n as_o it_o
