little_o want_v to_o the_o eternity_n of_o the_o night_n see_v the_o night_n be_v few_o hour_n after_o the_o day_n which_o be_v say_v to_o be_v eternal_a by_o atheist_n therefore_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o day_n have_v not_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n nor_o consequent_o the_o sun_n which_o never_o be_v without_o the_o day_n final_o two_o eternal_a thing_n can_v be_v but_o together_o and_o consequent_o one_o can_v be_v after_o another_o there_o be_v nothing_o before_o that_o which_o be_v eternal_a but_o the_o day_n and_o the_o night_n can_v be_v together_o therefore_o the_o day_n and_o the_o night_n be_v not_o eternal_a thing_n 6._o by_o the_o like_a reason_n one_o may_v prove_v that_o the_o moon_n have_v not_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n thus_o if_o the_o moon_n have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n either_o it_o have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n only_o full_a or_o only_o new_a or_o both_o if_o it_o have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n only_o full_a it_o follow_v it_o have_v not_o be_v new_a from_o all_o eternity_n though_o notwithstanding_o there_o have_v be_v but_o few_o day_n want_v see_v the_o new_a moon_n be_v few_o day_n after_o the_o full_a moon_n and_o so_o if_o the_o moon_n have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n only_o new_a it_o follow_v it_o have_v not_o be_v full_o from_o all_o eternity_n though_o notwithstanding_o there_o have_v be_v but_o few_o day_n want_v see_v that_o the_o full_a moon_n be_v few_o day_n after_o the_o new_a moon_n and_o if_o it_o have_v be_v both_o new_a and_o full_a from_o all_o eternity_n it_o be_v either_o at_o once_o which_o be_v repugnant_a to_o common_a sense_n and_o experience_n or_o one_o after_o another_o which_o be_v opposite_a to_o eternity_n for_o that_o which_o be_v eternal_a can_v be_v after_o another_o as_o above_o i_o say_v therefore_o the_o moon_n have_v never_o be_v without_o be_v either_o full_a or_o new_a or_o want_v but_o very_o little_a and_o have_v be_v neither_o full_a nor_o new_a from_o all_o eternity_n it_o be_v evident_a it_o have_v not_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n for_o two_o eternal_a thing_n can_v be_v but_o together_o as_o above_z i_o have_v prove_v now_o the_o full_a moon_n and_o the_o new_a moon_n can_v be_v together_o therefore_o the_o full_a moon_n nor_o the_o new_a moon_n can_v be_v eternal_a 7._o the_o same_o way_n of_o argue_v may_v be_v use_v against_o the_o eternity_n of_o the_o sea_n if_o the_o sea_n have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n either_o it_o have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n with_o the_o flow_v only_o or_o with_o the_o ebb_a only_a or_o with_o both_o if_o it_o have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n with_o the_o flow_v only_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o have_v not_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n with_o the_o ebb_a though_o there_o have_v be_v but_o very_o few_o hour_n want_v see_v the_o ebb_a of_o the_o sea_n be_v six_o hour_n or_o well_o near_o after_o it_o have_v begin_v flow_v so_o if_o it_o have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n with_o the_o ebb_a only_a it_o follow_v it_o have_v not_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n with_o the_o flow_v though_o there_o have_v be_v but_o very_o few_o hour_n want_v see_v the_o sea_n have_v its_o flow_v six_o hour_n or_o thereabouts_o after_o the_o begin_n of_o its_o ebb_a and_o if_o it_o have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n with_o its_o flow_v and_o ebb_a it_o must_v be_v all_o at_o once_o which_o be_v impossible_a see_v it_o can_v go_v backward_o and_o forward_o flow_v and_o ebb_v at_o the_o same_o time_n or_o one_o after_o another_o which_o be_v opposite_a to_o eternity_n for_o as_o i_o have_v say_v above_o two_o thing_n eternal_n can_v be_v but_o together_o and_o consequent_o can_v be_v one_o after_o another_o there_o be_v nothing_o before_o that_o which_o be_v eternal_a but_o the_o flow_v and_o ebb_a can_v be_v together_o therefore_o not_o eternal_a and_o so_o see_v the_o sea_n never_o be_v without_o flow_v or_o ebb_a and_o that_o neither_o the_o flow_v nor_o ebb_a have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o sea_n be_v not_o from_o all_o eternity_n as_o for_o the_o eternal_a collection_n of_o all_o flow_n and_o ebb_n or_o the_o eternal_a succession_n of_o the_o same_o it_o will_v be_v confute_v hereafter_o 8._o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o consideration_n of_o other_o creature_n and_o let_v we_o show_v that_o man_n have_v not_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n and_o that_o they_o never_o succeed_v one_o another_o by_o a_o eternal_a generation_n my_o reason_n be_v this_o if_o man_n have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n and_o have_v be_v one_o after_o another_o by_o a_o eternal_a succession_n of_o generation_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o number_n of_o those_o man_n which_o have_v be_v in_o time_n past_a till_o now_o shall_v be_v infinite_a for_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o if_o the_o number_n of_o they_o be_v finite_a and_o determine_v in_o itself_o there_o will_v have_v have_v be_v some_o first_o and_o some_o second_o etc._n etc._n and_o at_o this_o day_n some_o last_o and_o where_o some_o may_v be_v say_v to_o be_v first_o there_o be_v a_o beginning_n and_o consequent_o no_o eternity_n but_o the_o number_n of_o man_n which_o have_v be_v in_o time_n past_a till_o now_o be_v not_o infinite_a therefore_o man_n have_v not_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n the_o second_o proposition_n be_v prove_v thus_o a_o infinite_a number_n admit_v no_o great_a number_n but_o a_o great_a number_n than_o that_o of_o man_n which_o have_v be_v in_o time_n past_a till_o now_o can_v be_v give_v see_v there_o have_v be_v more_o hand_n more_o finger_n more_o hair_n and_o more_o beast_n than_o man_n therefore_o the_o number_n of_o man_n which_o have_v be_v in_o time_n past_a till_o now_o be_v not_o infinite_a the_o first_o proposition_n of_o this_o last_o syllogism_n to_o wit_n that_o a_o infinite_a number_n admit_v no_o great_a number_n be_v make_v good_a thus_o if_o the_o infinite_a number_n can_v admit_v a_o great_a number_n or_o a_o great_a number_n than_o the_o infinite_a can_v be_v give_v it_o will_v follow_v that_o a_o infinite_a number_n shall_v be_v exceed_v by_o a_o great_a number_n see_v that_o of_o two_o number_n the_o great_a exceed_v the_o other_o but_o the_o infinite_a number_n can_v be_v exceed_v see_v that_o which_o be_v exceed_v be_v finite_a or_o termine_v where_o it_o be_v exceed_v and_o the_o infinite_a can_v be_v finite_a therefore_o the_o infinite_a number_n can_v admit_v a_o great_a number_n 9_o moreover_o either_o there_o have_v be_v some_o man_n from_o all_o eternity_n or_o not_o if_o not_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o man_n have_v not_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n if_o any_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n it_o follow_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v be_v make_v or_o beget_v by_o another_o see_v that_o which_o be_v make_v or_o beget_v of_o another_o be_v after_o another_o but_o that_o which_o be_v eternal_a be_v not_o after_o another_o there_o be_v nothing_o before_o that_o which_o be_v eternal_a 10._o again_o man_n which_o be_v say_v false_o to_o have_v live_v from_o all_o eternity_n do_v not_o yet_o live_v a_o eternity_n else_o they_o have_v live_v long_a than_o a_o thousand_o time_n one_o hundred_o million_o of_o thousand_o of_o year_n which_o be_v against_o the_o common_a sense_n and_o therefore_o they_o have_v live_v but_o a_o finite_a time_n that_o be_v on_o hundred_o or_o a_o thousand_o year_n only_o from_o whence_o i_o reason_n thus_o betwixt_o that_o which_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n and_o that_o which_o be_v not_o from_o all_o eternity_n there_o be_v a_o great_a distance_n than_o of_o some_o few_o year_n but_o betwixt_o the_o life_n of_o man_n which_o be_v false_o say_v to_o have_v live_v from_o all_o eternity_n and_o their_o death_n which_o be_v not_o from_o all_o eternity_n there_o be_v but_o a_o few_o year_n distance_n therefore_o their_o death_n not_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n it_o be_v impossible_a their_o life_n shall_v have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n 11._o beside_o the_o man_n which_o have_v live_v in_o time_n past_a till_o now_o be_v distant_a one_o from_o another_o with_o a_o infinite_a distance_n of_o time_n only_o or_o with_o a_o finite_a distance_n only_o or_o some_o be_v distant_a with_o a_o finite_a distance_n and_o other_o with_o a_o infinite_a distance_n if_o they_o be_v all_o distant_a with_o a_o infinite_a distance_n of_o time_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o betwixt_o jesus_n christ_n as_o man_n and_o we_o that_o live_v at_o present_a there_o will_v be_v a_o infinite_a distance_n and_o consequent_o a_o infinite_a space_n of_o time_n which_o be_v false_a see_v there_o be_v but_o one_o thousand_o six_o hundred_o seventy_o seven_o year_n according_a to_o
all_o young_a man_n take_v together_o which_o have_v be_v in_o time_n past_a have_v not_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n see_v their_o young_a age_n be_v after_o their_o infancy_n and_o one_o may_v prove_v also_o that_o all_o child_n take_v together_o which_o have_v be_v in_o time_n past_a have_v not_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n see_v their_o infancy_n be_v after_o their_o birth_n and_o conception_n but_o if_o the_o collection_n of_o all_o child_n that_o have_v be_v the_o collection_n of_o all_o young_a man_n that_o have_v be_v and_o the_o collection_n of_o all_o old_a man_n that_o have_v be_v if_o i_o say_v all_o these_o collection_n have_v not_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o collection_n of_o all_o man_n which_o have_v be_v in_o time_n past_a be_v not_o from_o all_o eternity_n since_o it_o comprise_v only_o the_o collection_n of_o child_n of_o young_a and_o old_a man_n that_o have_v be_v 5._o again_o either_o all_o man_n which_o have_v be_v dead_a in_o time_n past_a be_v take_v together_o have_v be_v dead_a from_o all_o eternity_n or_o not_o if_o they_o have_v be_v dead_a from_o all_o eternity_n it_o follow_v that_o their_o death_n be_v eternal_a which_o be_v impossible_a see_v that_o which_o be_v eternal_a be_v not_o after_o another_o there_o be_v nothing_o before_o that_o which_o be_v eternal_a and_o without_o beginning_n but_o their_o death_n be_v after_o another_o viz._n their_o life_n see_v the_o death_n and_o life_n of_o the_o same_o man_n can_v be_v together_o but_o their_o death_n ought_v to_o be_v necessary_o after_o their_o life_n therefore_o their_o death_n be_v not_o eternal_a if_o all_o man_n which_o have_v be_v dead_a take_v together_o have_v not_o be_v dead_a from_o all_o eternity_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o man_n have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n without_o have_v any_o dead_a man_n which_o be_v deny_v by_o atheist_n who_o affirm_v that_o the_o world_n have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n in_o the_o same_o state_n it_o be_v now_o and_o consequent_o with_o dead_a man_n and_o moreover_o either_o man_n have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n without_o dead_a man_n during_o a_o finite_a time_n or_o during_o a_o infinite_a time_n if_o during_o a_o finite_a time_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o betwixt_o that_o which_o be_v not_o from_o all_o eternity_n to_o wit_n dead_a man_n and_o that_o which_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n viz._n the_o live_a man_n take_v together_o there_o be_v but_o a_o finite_a and_o limit_a time_n and_o that_o the_o finite_a time_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o time_n since_o the_o which_o there_o have_v be_v dead_a man_n add_v to_o the_o finite_a time_n such_o as_o be_v the_o duration_n of_o live_a man_n only_o will_v make_v up_o a_o infinite_a time_n such_o as_o be_v the_o pretend_a eternity_n of_o man_n which_o be_v contradictory_n if_o during_o a_o infinite_a time_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o man_n will_v have_v be_v above_o a_o hundred_o thousand_o million_o of_o thousand_o of_o year_n without_o die_v which_o be_v ridiculous_a and_o deny_v by_o atheist_n themselves_o 6._o to_o this_o may_v be_v add_v this_o argument_n that_o which_o be_v beget_v be_v beget_v of_o another_o see_v nothing_o beget_v or_o produce_v itself_o but_o all_o man_n which_o have_v be_v in_o time_n pass_v take_v together_o have_v be_v beget_v see_v that_o according_a to_o the_o opinion_n of_o atheist_n in_o the_o collection_n of_o all_o man_n which_o have_v be_v in_o time_n past_a there_o be_v never_o a_o man_n not_o beget_v therefore_o all_o man_n which_o have_v be_v in_o time_n pass_v take_v together_o have_v be_v beget_v of_o another_o from_o this_o argument_n i_o form_v another_o thus_o whatsoever_o be_v beget_v of_o another_o be_v after_o that_o other_o see_v that_o a_o man_n who_o beget_v another_o man_n do_v exist_v before_o he_o beget_v he_o but_o all_o man_n take_v together_o have_v be_v beget_v of_o another_o as_o i_o have_v prove_v therefore_o all_o man_n take_v together_o have_v be_v after_o another_o from_o this_o last_o syllogism_n i_o will_v also_o form_v this_o that_o which_o have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n have_v not_o be_v after_o another_o see_v there_o be_v nothing_o before_o that_o which_o be_v eternal_a but_o all_o man_n take_v together_o have_v be_v after_o another_o as_o i_o have_v prove_v therefore_o all_o man_n take_v together_o have_v not_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n 7._o last_o the_o serious_a consideration_n of_o the_o very_a term_n of_o this_o distinction_n of_o oviedo_n will_v cause_v any_o rational_a man_n to_o reject_v it_o as_o ridiculous_a man_n say_v he_o have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n but_o no_o man_n have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n the_o collection_n of_o man_n which_o have_v be_v in_o time_n past_a be_v from_o all_o eternity_n but_o there_o be_v never_o a_o a_o man_n in_o all_o this_o collection_n from_o all_o eternity_n the_o collection_n of_o day_n be_v without_o beginning_n but_o there_o be_v never_o a_o day_n in_o all_o this_o collection_n without_o beginning_n as_o if_o one_o shall_v say_v the_o king_n successor_n of_o william_n the_o

far_a one_o must_v take_v notice_n that_o for_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o these_o unusual_a word_n the_o fore-eternity_n and_o the_o after-eternity_n one_o must_v conceive_v that_o this_o day_n be_v the_o tie_n that_o knit_v and_o join_v they_o both_o together_o so_o that_o the_o fore-eternity_n be_v a_o duration_n from_o this_o day_n reascend_v upward_o or_o through_o the_o time_n past_a even_o to_o the_o infinite_a and_o the_o after-eternity_n be_v a_o duration_n from_o this_o day_n towards_o the_o future_a even_o to_o the_o infinite_a this_o kind_n of_o riddle_n be_v now_o clear_a let_v we_o come_v to_o their_o answer_n as_o in_o the_o after-eternity_n say_v they_o the_o day_n shall_v eternal_o be_v after_o the_o night_n and_o the_o night_n after_o the_o day_n so_o that_o there_o shall_v never_o be_v a_o late_a day_n nor_o a_o late_a night_n our_o hemisphere_n will_v be_v eternal_o lighten_v after_o that_o of_o our_o antipode_n and_o the_o hemisphere_n of_o

flow_v so_o that_o there_o will_v never_o be_v a_o late_a flow_v or_o ebb_a the_o new_a moon_n will_v be_v eternal_o after_o the_o full_a moon_n and_o the_o full_a moon_n after_o the_o new_a moon_n without_o ever_o be_v a_o late_a new_a moon_n or_o a_o late_a full_a moon_n one_o part_n of_o time_n or_o motion_n will_v be_v eternal_o after_o the_o other_o without_o ever_o be_v a_o late_a part_n of_o time_n and_o motion_n etc._n etc._n so_o in_o the_o fore-eternity_n the_o day_n have_v be_v eternal_o before_o the_o night_n and_o the_o night_n before_o the_o day_n so_o that_o there_o be_v never_o a_o first_o day_n or_o a_o first_o night_n and_o consequent_o the_o day_n and_o the_o night_n have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n one_o before_o another_o as_o they_o will_v be_v eternal_o one_o after_o another_o likewise_o our_o hemisphere_n have_v be_v enlighten_v eternal_o before_o the_o hemisphere_n of_o our_o antipode_n and_o that_o of_o our_o antipode_n before_o we_o without_o
