much_o as_o that_o he_o can_v be_v nothing_o or_o defect_n 6._o worse_o yet_o be_v the_o notion_n of_o cause_n and_o effect_v in_o respect_n of_o himself_o attribute_v to_o god_n for_o example_n

the_o end_n and_o the_o like_a for_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o effect_n likewise_o speak_v imperfection_n whence_o it_o be_v no_o eminency_n to_o precontain_v it_o 7._o like_o this_o it_o be_v to_o put_v instant_n either_o of_o nature_n or_o intellectual_a in_o one_o of_o which_o some_o thing_n shall_v be_v and_o another_o thing_n notbe_a in_o god_n till_o the_o next_o

they_o whether_o possible_a or_o actual_a as_o when_o it_o be_v say_v the_o intuitive_a vision_n of_o god_n suppose_v the_o futurition_n of_o creature_n that_o god_n know_v not_o a_o free_a act_n

the_o divine_a essence_n real_o both_o posteriour_a to_o and_o depend_v upon_o creature_n be_v intolerable_a and_o absurd_a 9_o the_o imperfection_n too_o either_o of_o the_o thing_n god_n have_v make_v or_o of_o our_o understanding_n they_o unwary_o cast_v upon_o god_n as_o when_o god_n will_v the_o mean_n shall_v be_v for_o the_o end_n they_o weak_o suspect_v that_o he_o will_v the_o mean_n because_o he_o will_v the_o end_n when_o any_o one_o act_n of_o god_n be_v conceive_v by_o we_o we_o not_o conceive_v another_o they_o believe_v that_o there_o be_v something_o in_o god_n too_o whence_o one_o notion_n may_v be_v though_o another_o be_v suppose_v not-to-be_a 10._o it_o appear_v out_o of_o what_o have_v hitherto_o be_v say_v that_o of_o all_o the_o name_n attribute_v to_o

last_o be_v or_o existence_n be_v perfect_a than_o essence_n which_o be_v nothing_o but_o a_o capacity_n to_o that_o but_o all_o other_o thing_n be_v in_o the_o order_n of_o essence_n and_o more_o imperfect_a lesson_n xi_o of_o the_o existence_n nature_n and_o science_n of_o intelligence_n 1._o out_o of_o the_o premise_n it_o be_v easy_o collect_v that_o there_o be_v some_o substance_n by_o its_o nature_n and_o original_o incorporeal_a for_o since_o god_n alone_o be_v be_v of_o himself_o and_o whatever_o be_v produce_v participate_v existence_n from_o he_o and_o existence_n among_o those_o thing_n which_o integrate_a a_o thing_n be_v the_o least_o unlike_a god_n and_o be_v the_o most_o perfect_a and_o supreme_a it_o appear_v that_o all_o other_o thing_n which_o be_v in_o a_o thing_n be_v cause_v by_o god_n by_o the_o mean_n of_o existence_n and_o that_o alone_o immediate_o flow_v from_o god_n and_o by_o consequence_n nothing_o be_v immediate_o make_v by_o god_n which_o be_v not_o in_o the_o creature_n in_o virtue_n of_o existence_n 2._o again_o it_o be_v clear_a that_o suppose_v whatever_o body_n to_o exist_v they_o because_o they_o be_v many_o must_v be_v in_o a_o determinate_a place_n and_o because_o the_o same_o thing_n be_v put_v and_o none_o change_v there_o always_o remain_v the_o same_o all_o body_n in_o virtue_n of_o existence_n alone_o if_o nothing_o be_v change_v in_o they_o will_v always_o remain_v in_o the_o same_o place_n and_o consequent_o in_o virtue_n of_o god_n alone_o and_o body_n there_o will_v not_o any_o motion_n follow_v 3._o since_o therefore_o it_o appear_v in_o body_n that_o there_o be_v motion_n it_o be_v evident_a there_o be_v some_o incorporeal_a creature_n which_o because_o it_o be_v require_v to_o give_v the_o first_o motion_n to_o body_n can_v be_v a_o separate_a soul_n who_o birth_n presuppose_v the_o motion_n of_o body_n 4._o it_o be_v plain_a again_o that_o since_o this_o creature_n receive_v its_o be_v from_o god_n of_o itself_o it_o may_v notbe_a &_o consequent_o include_v in_o itself_o a_o divisibility_n of_o existence_n from_o its_o essence_n 5._o 6._o again_o out_o of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v concern_v a_o body_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o it_o be_v not_o compound_v of_o matter_n and_o form_n and_o a_o composition_n of_o existence_n with_o any_o thing_n above_o it_o be_v impossible_a since_o existence_n be_v the_o most_o formal_a form_n of_o a_o thing_n and_o consequent_o there_o can_v be_v nothing_o more_o formal_a or_o superior_a to_o it_o in_o the_o thing_n who_o '_o it_o be_v 6._o count_v therefore_o those_o thing_n which_o integrate_a a_o thing_n or_o be_v there_o be_v three_o kind_n of_o thing_n god_n fill_v the_o high_a degree_n of_o existence_n body_n by_o their_o

of_o middle_a order_n of_o subsist_v 7._o it_o be_v therefore_o a_o pure_a act_n because_o it_o be_v not_o mingle_v with_o a_o substantial_a power_n or_o possibility_n it_o be_v not_o the_o pure_a because_o it_o be_v compound_v with_o existence_n which_o be_v a_o substantial_a composition_n &_o as_o be_v manifest_a common_a to_o all_o but_o that_o one_o thing_n of-it-self_n 8._o again_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o a_o incorporeal_a creature_n be_v intellective_a &_o so_o actual_o understanding_n for_o since_o the_o necessity_n of_o its_o existence_n be_v collect_v from_o the_o motion_n of_o body_n it_o be_v evident_a it_o have_v some_o power_n to_o alter_v body_n that_o their_o motion_n may_v follow_v wherefore_o since_o action_n proceed_v from_o a_o agent_n as_o it_o actual_o be_v that_o motion_n of_o body_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v actual_o in_o this_o creature_n &_o consequent_o the_o body_n change_v 9_o since_o therefore_o there_o be_v no_o matter_n in_o this_o creature_n nor_o consequent_o any_o determination_n of_o matter_n as_o its_o motion_n or_o quality_n it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o body_n be_v in_o it_o as_o exist_v in_o themselves_o that_o be_v as_o another_o thing_n since_o therefore_o to_o be_v know_v be_v to_o be_v as_o another_o thing_n in_o another_o this_o our_o creature_n be_v cognoscitive_a and_o since_o to_o be_v know_v by_o the_o notion_n of_o be_v or_o as_o exist_v be_v to_o be_v understand_v and_o movable_a thing_n be_v know_v to_o exist_v the_o creature_n we_o be_v in_o search_n of_o be_v a_o intelligence_n 10._o it_o follow_v too_o that_o a_o intelligence_n in_o its_o own_o essence_n know_v know_v god_n and_o all_o other_o thing_n that_o exist_v for_o since_o a_o intelligence_n have_v whereto_o a_o exi_a thing_n may_v be_v conjoin_v retain_v the_o property_n of_o its_o be_v another_o &_o it_o be_v own_o essence_n exist_v be_v intimate_o conjoin_v to_o this_o power_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o it_o primary_o and_o formal_o so_o inexi_v 11._o and_o since_o know_v that_o its_o own_o essence_n exist_v it_o must_v needs_o see_v that_o it_o exist_v accidental_o it_o see_v evident_o that_o it_o have_v a_o cause_n of_o exist_v and_o that_o such_o a_o one_o as_o we_o have_v be_v in_o search_n of_o above_o it_o see_v etc._n therefore_o in_o its_o own_o essence_n that_o god_n be_v and_o be_v such_o as_o we_o have_v be_v inquire_v after_o and_o far_o perfect_a than_o we_o can_v decipher_v 12._o it_o see_v therefore_o that_o nature_n actual_o emanes_a and_o flow_v out_o from_o he_o and_o because_o it_o see_v what_o be_v the_o end_n of_o nature_n viz._n that_o so_o many_o kind_n and_o subdivision_n of_o animal_n shall_v shoot-out_a and_o ripen_v into_o spirit_n of_o eternal_a be_v it_o see_v what_o be_v necessary_a for_o this_o and_o consequent_o the_o whole_a plot_n of_o the_o world_n and_o wherein_o itself_o will_v be_v useful_a for_o it_o lesson_n xii_o of_o the_o comparison_n of_o intelligence_n to_o soul_n and_o body_n 1._o it_o be_v clear_a too_o that_o a_o intelligence_n have_v a_o real_a divisibility_n of_o essence_n from_o knowledge_n for_o since_o it_o be_v of_o the_o notion_n of_o the_o knowledge_n of_o its_o essence_n that_o it_o exist_v and_o its_o exi_n be_v divisible_a from_o its_o essence_n much_o more_o the_o know_v its_o
and_o a_o effect_n can_v exist_v without_o a_o actual_a cause_n nor_o a_o actual_a cause_n without_o a_o effect_n such_o proposition_n be_v fit_a to_o conclude_v upon_o any_o subject_a about_o which_o we_o be_v make_v inquiry_n that_o it_o be_v and_o can_v possible_o but_o be_v to_o do_v which_o we_o call_v frame_v a_o science_n and_o the_o syllogism_n whereby_o we_o work_v thus_o a_o

assume_v for_o proof_n the_o knowledge_n of_o another_o person_n for_o since_o knowledge_n be_v adequate_a to_o the_o thing_n itself_o it_o be_v as_o it_o be_v a_o proper_a accident_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o thing_n attain_v by_o these_o proposition_n be_v call_v faith_n which_o kind_n of_o knowledge_n may_v arrive_v to_o a_o certainty_n if_o the_o authority_n assume_v be_v out_o of_o all_o question_n yet_o it_o be_v not_o science_n because_o not_o evident_a since_o the_o thing_n appear_v but_o in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o another_o and_o be_v undiscernible_a in_o itself_o be_v it_o move_v not_o the_o understanding_n by_o itself_o and_o thing_n natural_o connect_v with_o it_o lesson_n iii_o of_o the_o predicament_n in_o common_a and_o the_o three_o first_o in_o particular_a 1._o we_o have_v say_v that_o proposition_n be_v compose_v of_o notion_n and_o that_o a_o notion_n be_v the_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o be_v it_o have_v in_o the_o understanding_n there_o be_v therefore_o so_o many_o kind_n of_o notion_n as_o there_o be_v several_a common_a habitude_n of_o any_o thing_n without_o or_o within_o the_o understanding_n whereby_o it_o may_v be_v refer_v to_o any_o other_o thing_n that_o be_v predicate_v of_o a_o subject_a 2._o now_o any_o thing_n may_v be_v consider_v both_o according_a to_o what_o it_o have_v in_o itself_o or_o be_v in_o its_o own_o nature_n and_o according_a to_o other_o thing_n which_o by_o consideration_n be_v draw_v in_o and_o apply_v to_o it_o and_o as_o to_o its_o intrinsecall_v a_o thing_n be_v consider_v either_o absolute_o and_o in_o its_o very_a self_n and_o so_o it_o be_v call_v a_o substance_n and_o that_o which_o be_v pronounce_v of_o it_o a_o substantial_a predicate_v or_o as_o it_o be_v compare_v to_o all_o other_o thing_n in_o that_o respect_n wherein_o all_o thing_n agree_v and_o thus_o we_o ask_v how_o big_a a_o thing_n be_v and_o what_o we_o answer_v concern_v it_o be_v call_v its_o quantity_n three_o it_o be_v compare_v to_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v of_o the_o same_o kind_n with_o it_o or_o to_o its_o own_o particular_a nature_n and_o so_o we_o ask_v what_o manner_n of_o thing_n be_v it_o that_o be_v how_o perfect_a be_v it_o in_o its_o own_o nature_n and_o what_o we_o answer_v be_v call_v its_o quality_n last_o it_o be_v compare_v to_o other_o particular_a thing_n and_o we_o ask_v what_o it_o be_v in_o respect_n to_o another_o and_o the_o answer_n be_v call_v relate_v or_o relation_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o under_o these_o four_o head_n be_v comprehend_v all_o thing_n

it_o be_v either_o apply_v with_o motion_n or_o in_o rest_n if_o in_o rest_n the_o predicate_a be_v neither_o constant_o fix_v to_o the_o subject_a nor_o the_o subject_a to_o the_o predicate_a and_o then_o we_o ask_v where_o a_o thing_n be_v and_o the_o answer_n be_v call_v its_o place_n or_o else_o the_o subject_n be_v fix_v to_o the_o predicate_a as_o a_o statue_n to_o its_o basis_n liquor_n to_o a_o vessel_n one_o that_o sit_v to_o his_o chair_n etc._n etc._n and_o as_o before_o we_o ask_v where_o a_o thing_n be_v whereto_o the_o predicate_v we_o answer_v be_v call_v its_o site_n or_o situation_n or_o last_o the_o predicate_a be_v fix_v to_o the_o subject_a and_o we_o ask_v what_o it_o have_v to_o which_o that_o we_o answer_v be_v call_v its_o habit_n as_o garment_n arm_n instrument_n 4._o in_o motion_n if_o the_o subject_n be_v move_v the_o agent_n always_o accompany_v it_o if_o it_o move_v the_o patient_n and_o in_o both_o case_n time_n or_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o heaven_n go_v along_o with_o they_o from_o which_o no_o motion_n can_v be_v exempt_a of_o this_o last_o we_o ask_v when_o be_v the_o motion_n and_o what_o we_o answer_v be_v call_v the_o time_n of_o the_o motion_n 5._o when_o the_o subject_n be_v move_v we_o ask_v by_z what_o and_o that_o we_o answer_v be_v say_v to_o act_n and_o the_o subject_a to_o suffer_v from_o it_o when_o the_o subject_n move_v we_o ask_v what_o it_o move_v and_o that_o we_o answer_v be_v say_v to_o suffer_v and_o itself_o too_o act._n thus_o the_o reason_n be_v evident_a why_o there_o be_v just_a ten_o order_n or_o

11._o out_o of_o what_o have_v be_v say_v we_o be_v deduce_v to_o see_v how_o god_n perform_v all_o the_o work_n of_o the_o creature_n in_o they_o for_o first_o if_o we_o speak_v of_o intelligence_n since_o their_o internal_a operation_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o to_o be_v all_o other_o thing_n after_o a_o certain_a manner_n it_o be_v manifest_a they_o be_v actual_o even_o to_o the_o

of_o the_o government_n of_o god_n and_o the_o locality_n of_o incorporeal_a thing_n 1._o as_o for_o the_o rest_n the_o same_o way_n lead_v to_o the_o discovery_n that_o god_n be_v not_o the_o cause_n of_o any_o imperfection_n and_o not-being_a or_o ill_o which_o be_v in_o create_v thing_n and_o their_o action_n for_o since_o the_o action_n of_o god_n be_v only_o to_o infuse_v be_v and_o this_o as_o much_o as_o the_o creature_n be_v capable_a it_o be_v plain_a what_o there_o be_v of_o be_v be_v to_o be_v attribute_v to_o god_n but_o what_o there_o be_v want_v of_o be_v be_v to_o be_v refund_v into_o the_o incapacity_n of_o the_o subject_a 2._o and_o since_o the_o defect_n of_o action_n proceed_v out_o of_o the_o defect_n of_o the_o principle_n that_o be_v out_o of_o some_o not-being_a in_o the_o principle_n in_o the_o same_o manner_n all_o defect_n in_o act_v be_v to_o be_v reduce_v likewise_o into_o some_o defect_n in_o be_v of_o the_o creature_n and_o not_o into_o god_n as_o its_o cause_n wherefore_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o good_a because_o all_o good_a be_v from_o be_v but_o of_o no_o ill_a since_o ill_o be_v from_o not-being_a 3._o consequent_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o god_n can_v annihilate_v any_o thing_n or_o withdraw_v his_o concourse_n from_o the_o action_n of_o any_o creature_n for_o to_o be_v able_a to_o annihilate_v be_v to_o be_v

goodness_n and_o of_o the_o overflow_a as_o it_o be_v of_o be_v in_o god_n 4._o you_o will_v say_v therefore_o god_n do_v not_o act_v free_o add_v extra_fw-la that_o be_v upon_o the_o creature_n but_o 8._o this_o consequence_n be_v to_o be_v deny_v as_o it_o be_v say_v above_o when_o we_o treat_v of_o the_o liberty_n of_o god_n 5._o you_o will_v say_v again_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n therefore_o it_o must_v be_v say_v that_o god_n can_v make_v any_o thing_n which_o he_o will_v not_o make_v but_o this_o consequence_n also_o be_v deny_v for_o his_o power_n be_v refer_v to_o possible_a thing_n or_o which_o have_v entity_n and_o intelligibility_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v deny_v that_o he_o can_v do_v any_o thing_n that_o be_v possible_a though_o in_o another_o respect_n it_o be_v impossible_a it_o shall_v happen_v that_o he_o shall_v actual_o make_v this_o 6._o but_o the_o power_n of_o god_n which_o be_v the_o very_a notion_n of_o be_v and_o thing_n have_v not_o for_o its_o act_n the_o not-being_a of_o any_o thing_n and_o not-acting_a and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v say_v that_o he_o can_v give_v not-being_a or_o can_v not-act_n 7._o let_v we_o remember_v now_o that_o god_n understand_v all_o and_o every_o thing_n do_v by_o the_o creature_n and_o will_v all_o thing_n which_o follow_v out_o of_o his_o operation_n and_o we_o have_v it_o that_o

that_o it_o be_v 9_o nor_o be_v it_o less_o evident_a that_o neither_o the_o contingency_n of_o natural_a cause_n nor_o the_o liberty_n of_o rational_a creature_n be_v infringe_v by_o this_o government_n of_o god_n for_o since_o contingency_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o that_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o cause_n be_v such_o that_o it_o may_v and_o use_n to_o be_v hinder_v by_o other_o

offer_v no_o violence_n to_o the_o nature_n of_o natural_a cause_n 10._o you_o will_v object_v that_o proposition_n concern_v a_o future_a whether_o contingent_a or_o free_a subject_a be_v

by_o they_o for_o it_o signify_v still_o the_o same_o 12._o if_o it_o be_v therefore_o ask_v what_o man_n mean_v by_o such_o proposition_n it_o will_v rain_v it_o will_v be_v hot_a socrates_n will_v be_v angry_a or_o go_v to_o sea_n &_o c_o it_o be_v clear_a they_o mean_v to_o explicate_v effect_n as_o in_o defectible_a cause_n and_o consequent_o they_o have_v no_o determinate_a truth_n but_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v what_o the_o proposition_n will_v signify_v if_o it_o be_v refer_v immediate_o to_o the_o effect_n as_o it_o sound_v it_o be_v answer_v no_o sensible_a man_n use_v to_o speak_v

to_o determine_v the_o truth_n of_o proposition_n all_o thing_n must_v fall_v out_o by_o the_o necessity_n of_o fate_n and_o be_v from_o themselves_o 10._o which_o be_v above_z sufficient_o
