be_v forgive_v before_o the_o commission_n of_o a_o actual_a sin_n go_v certain_o to_o heaven_n and_o have_v there_o the_o fruition_n of_o god_n and_o by_o vision_n in_o he_o may_v be_v a_o

utter_v with_o the_o mouth_n for_o that_o be_v all_o one_o in_o effect_n since_o the_o saint_n know_v our_o petition_n in_o god_n which_o need_v a_o immediate_a success_n the_o same_o prayer_n also_o be_v often_o diverse_a and_o sometime_o contrary_a in_o regard_n of_o the_o matter_n which_o they_o concern_v now_o consider_v the_o absurdity_n of_o the_o babylonian_n in_o this_o behalf_n that_o the_o bless_a virgin_n instant_o hear_v or_o rather_o seethe_v all_o their_o prayer_n instant_o present_v they_o unto_o god_n instant_o send_v such_o a_o variety_n of_o help_n unto_o her_o distress_a suitor_n this_o be_v not_o to_o beatify_v a_o soul_n but_o to_o deify_v a_o creature_n to_o make_v it_o a_o god_n at_o the_o second_o hand_n to_o give_v that_o knowledge_n of_o all_o thing_n unto_o a_o saint_n which_o be_v in_o god_n can_v without_o communication_n of_o the_o godhead_n be_v derive_v unto_o any_o creature_n therefore_o only_a the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v a_o knowledge_n of_o all_o thing_n with_o the_o father_n because_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n be_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o person_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v from_o they_o both_o with_o the_o communication_n of_o deity_n to_o the_o son_n in_o his_o generation_n and_o to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o his_o procession_n but_o since_o every_o bless_a soul_n remain_v in_o the_o condition_n of_o a_o creature_n in_o substance_n though_o glorious_a in_o knowledge_n though_o increase_v therefore_o it_o have_v a_o finite_a knowledge_n for_o as_o the_o state_n of_o beatitude_n require_v a_o great_a addition_n of_o knowledge_n so_o the_o state_n of_o a_o creature_n require_v a_o determination_n of_o knowledge_n whereas_o the_o babylonian_n extend_v it_o infinite_o by_o the_o vision_n of_o god_n in_o who_o these_o soul_n see_v all_o thing_n as_o they_o suppose_v this_o general_a error_n be_v ancient_a and_o the_o special_a author_n of_o it_o be_v venerable_a s._n gregory_n the_o great_a but_o not_o so_o great_a that_o without_o any_o scripture_n to_o justify_v this_o point_n we_o shall_v subscribe_v unto_o his_o assertion_n yea_o but_o it_o be_v his_o fair_a conclusion_n infer_v out_o of_o a_o true_a position_n how_o vident_fw-la videntem_fw-la omne_fw-la the_o saint_n see_v he_o that_o see_v all_o thing_n what_o then_o ergo_fw-la vident_fw-la omne_fw-la therefore_o they_o see_v all_o thing_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o ingenious_a but_o it_o be_v no_o substantial_a inference_n let_v we_o examine_v the_o position_n and_o then_o the_o conclusion_n deduce_v out_o of_o the_o same_o as_o concern_v the_o position_n it_o be_v true_a the_o soul_n in_o heaven_n see_v god_n not_o sensible_o with_o any_o corporeal_a eye_n nor_o imaginarily_o in_o any_o fancy_n but_o intellectual_o by_o immediate_a intuition_n without_o any_o veil_n or_o other_o mean_n into_o the_o divine_a essence_n but_o how_o far_o forth_o not_o by_o total_a comprehension_n of_o the_o deity_n which_o they_o behold_v for_o so_o the_o son_n see_v the_o father_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n see_v they_o both_o but_o by_o such_o a_o participation_n of_o god_n as_o a_o creature_n can_v receive_v and_o be_v necessary_a unto_o the_o blessedness_n thereof_o which_o consist_v in_o the_o fruition_n and_o in_o the_o vision_n of_o god_n the_o conclusion_n therefore_o of_o gregory_n out_o of_o the_o say_a position_n be_v lame_a and_o can_v stand_v by_o the_o strength_n thereof_o since_o he_o only_o see_v all_o thing_n in_o god_n who_o see_v god_n absolute_o and_o full_o by_o comprehension_n of_o the_o deity_n as_o christ_n see_v his_o father_n but_o so_o and_o in_o such_o a_o plenitude_n of_o vision_n no_o creature_n can_v see_v the_o creator_n as_o for_o the_o soul_n of_o christ_n that_o be_v of_o a_o high_a knowledge_n because_o the_o humane_a nature_n have_v the_o vision_n of_o god_n by_o union_n with_o god_n in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o son_n so_o then_o the_o poor_a babylonian_n be_v still_o in_o the_o case_n of_o idolatry_n for_o they_o by_o this_o false_o conceive_a omnisciencie_n in_o the_o saint_n translate_v they_o or_o to_o speak_v in_o their_o own_o language_n transubstantiate_v they_o into_o god_n neither_o do_v their_o device_n of_o speculum_fw-la that_o god_n be_v the_o look_a glass_n of_o the_o saint_n in_o who_o they_o see_v thing_n as_o you_o hear_v before_o relieve_v they_o from_o the_o crime_n of_o idolatry_n for_o this_o conceit_n issue_v from_o the_o former_a and_o be_v all_o one_o with_o it_o in_o effect_n and_o both_o be_v poor_a evasion_n for_o though_o god_n be_v a_o look_a glass_n unto_o the_o saint_n yet_o he_o be_v voluntarium_fw-la a_o voluntary_a one_o to_o represent_v what_o he_o will_v in_o the_o freeness_n of_o his_o pleasure_n not_o necessarium_fw-la a_o necessary_a one_o to_o represent_v unto_o the_o saint_n all_o that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o compass_n of_o his_o excellency_n and_o knowledge_n for_o then_o why_o shall_v they_o not_o as_o well_o foresee_v or_o rather_o see_v all_o future_a thing_n as_o well_o as_o all_o present_a thing_n in_o he_o final_o if_o they_o see_v all_o our_o prayer_n and_o so_o all_o other_o thing_n in_o he_o by_o the_o very_a nature_n of_o their_o beatifical_a vision_n as_o the_o babylonian_n do_v fond_o collect_v why_o then_o do_v some_o of_o the_o ancient_n teach_v that_o the_o soul_n in_o heaven_n be_v inform_v by_o angel_n execute_v a_o ministerial_a office_n here_o in_o the_o earth_n of_o sundry_a occurrence_n that_o pass_v here_o in_o the_o militant_a church_n which_o opinion_n stand_v with_o good_a congruity_n of_o reason_n according_a to_o the_o passage_n of_o scripture_n and_o principle_n in_o divinity_n do_v therefore_o necessary_o conclude_v against_o the_o suppose_a omnisciencie_n of_o the_o soul_n know_v all_o thing_n in_o god_n by_o the_o vision_n of_o his_o divine_a essence_n that_o they_o have_v such_o a_o latitude_n of_o knowledge_n as_o the_o babylonian_n do_v conceive_v but_o as_o you_o see_v without_o any_o sufficient_a testimony_n of_o scripture_n or_o pregnant_a inference_n well_o
