be_v better_o both_o for_o the_o live_n and_o the_o dead_a even_o in_o the_o way_n of_o impetration_n though_o particular_n be_v never_o think_v on_o nevertheless_o since_o the_o world_n be_v the_o world_n this_o article_n of_o pray_v for_o the_o dead_a be_v as_o necessary_a as_o our_o imperfection_n which_o be_v not_o like_a to_o leave_v we_o must_v needs_o make_v it_o both_o in_o common_a and_o in_o particular_a as_o we_o see_v it_o use_v the_o rest_n of_o your_o chapter_n be_v so_o speculative_a that_o i_o can_v willing_o have_v omit_v it_o but_o because_o you_o recommend_v it_o to_o be_v weigh_v i_o can_v neglect_v it_o i_o pray_v then_o take_v notice_n that_o in_o saint_n thomas_n his_o way_n the_o composition_n of_o spirit_n be_v not_o of_o materiality_n and_o spirituality_n but_o of_o essence_n and_o existence_n a_o composition_n who_o separability_n or_o conjunction_n belong_v pure_o to_o the_o activity_n of_o god_n and_o be_v not_o a_o potentia_fw-la but_o a_o non_fw-la repugnantia_fw-la and_o so_o can_v have_v no_o cause_n under_o god_n who_o essence_n be_v in_o the_o order_n of_o existence_n or_o rather_o the_o order_n itself_o no_o other_o substance_n reach_v to_o that_o order_n out_o of_o which_o be_v infer_v that_o as_o to_o create_v and_o annihilate_v that_o be_v to_o change_v existence_n per_fw-la se_fw-la belong_v only_o to_o god_n so_o likewise_o do_v any_o change_n in_o a_o pure_a spirit_n which_o can_v have_v its_o source_n in_o a_o conjoin_a body_n those_o who_o put_v a_o kind_n of_o materiality_n which_o they_o do_v not_o explicate_v whether_o they_o speak_v consequent_o or_o no_o i_o can_v judge_v but_o i_o know_v tully_n make_v sport_n with_o the_o epicurean_n for_o give_v their_o god_n quasi_fw-la carne_fw-la and_o quasi_fw-la sanguinem_fw-la without_o be_v able_a to_o explicate_v they_o further_o beside_o that_o a_o demonstration_n can_v be_v ground_v upon_o proposition_n who_o sense_n be_v not_o comprehend_v and_o explain_v i_o never_o read_v in_o aristotle_n saint_n bonaventure_n if_o his_o ordinary_a citer_n do_v he_o no_o wrong_n make_v duration_n to_o be_v true_o divisible_a in_fw-la infinitum_fw-la which_o that_o it_o shall_v agree_v to_o any_o thing_n but_o either_o quantity_n or_o by_o quantity_n peripatetic_n or_o any_o other_o solid_a logician_n think_v to_o imply_v as_o much_o as_o be_v divisible_a without_o divisibility_n to_o his_o reason_n and_o the_o two_o follow_a inconvenience_n s_o thomas_n scholar_n use_v the_o distinction_n of_o infinite_a in_o its_o particular_a kind_n and_o infinite_a simple_o or_o in_o all_o kind_n and_o say_v this_o late_a only_o belong_v to_o god_n almighty_a and_o that_o if_o there_o be_v a_o infinite_a quantity_n it_o will_v not_o therefore_o be_v god_n nor_o that_o if_o a_o angel_n know_v all_o species_n of_o number_n or_o figure_n therefore_o he_o know_v all_o thing_n nay_o that_o because_o the_o intellect_n be_v but_o a_o passive_a faculty_n of_o itself_o be_v there_o any_o infinite_a vigour_n require_v to_o knowledge_n though_o infinite_a so_o it_o be_v pure_o infuse_v as_o likewise_o that_o the_o vigour_n of_o infinite_a duration_n be_v in_o the_o conserver_n not_o in_o the_o thing_n conserve_v so_o that_o i_o doubt_v much_o how_o valuable_a these_o argument_n can_v be_v make_v though_o you_o seem_v confident_a of_o they_o even_o more_o than_o of_o the_o demonstration_n of_o euclid_n and_o archimedes_n who_o you_o think_v apt_a to_o swallow_v supposition_n without_o proof_n which_o be_v mistake_v unless_o you_o speak_v of_o some_o self-known_a axiom_n which_o i_o think_v you_o also_o will_v admit_v by_o the_o way_n i_o will_v entreat_v you_o to_o quote_v i_o some_o place_n of_o scripture_n in_o which_o any_o angel_n be_v record_v to_o have_v have_v a_o new_a internal_a act_n for_o i_o know_v no_o such_o though_o external_a action_n they_o have_v manifold_a and_o so_o i_o end_v this_o chapter_n note_v that_o whereas_o you_o cite_v my_o peripatetical_a institution_n for_o my_o opinion_n of_o purgatory_n that_o their_o testimony_n be_v not_o sufficient_a to_o declare_v my_o opinion_n in_o divinity_n matter_n the_o necessity_n of_o good_a method_n force_v i_o to_o abstain_v from_o theological_a resolution_n in_o a_o philosophical_a treatise_n i_o can_v rather_o have_v wish_v you_o have_v take_v more_o notice_n of_o the_o little_a book_n i_o write_v express_o concerning_o this_o very_a question_n where_o the_o whole_a business_n be_v large_o treat_v the_o objection_n raise_v and_o answer_v offer_v many_o authority_n produce_v and_o many_o reason_n to_o none_o of_o which_o can_v i_o any_o way_n conceive_v you_o have_v much_o apply_v your_o thought_n and_o so_o if_o they_o perhaps_o deserve_v no_o answer_n i_o be_o sure_a they_o have_v none_o note_n on_o the_o eight_o and_o nine_o chapter_n in_o your_o eight_o chapter_n you_o trouble_v yourself_o whether_o it_o be_v possible_a for_o the_o soul_n in_o purgatory_n to_o see_v the_o humanity_n of_o christ_n which_o i_o be_o so_o far_o from_o dispute_v with_o you_o that_o i_o willing_o acknowledge_v it_o and_o withal_o that_o it_o raise_v a_o great_a height_n of_o charity_n in_o he_o so_o that_o their_o state_n in_o purgatory_n be_v far_o beyond_o the_o state_n of_o this_o life_n for_o charity_n but_o yet_o that_o it_o take_v not_o away_o the_o dregs_o of_o sin_n leave_v in_o they_o at_o their_o death_n not_o that_o i_o think_v saint_n paul_n speak_v of_o any_o such_o matter_n in_o the_o place_n you_o cite_v but_o the_o meaning_n of_o those_o word_n in_fw-la corpore_fw-la an_fw-la extra_fw-la corpus_fw-la nescio_fw-la be_v that_o he_o know_v not_o whether_o his_o body_n be_v true_o carry_v local_o into_o the_o three_o heaven_n or_o only_o that_o he_o have_v a_o sight_n of_o it_o as_o saint_n stephen_n have_v of_o christ_n in_o the_o place_n where_o he_o stand_v and_o so_o the_o sense_n may_v be_v whether_o the_o rapture_n be_v in_o his_o body_n or_o only_o in_o his_o mind_n for_o else_o we_o must_v conceive_v he_o dead_a in_o the_o mean_a while_n which_o i_o know_v not_o that_o any_o affirm_v and_o otherwise_o these_o be_v two_o species_n of_o the_o three_o which_o divine_v make_v of_o vision_n to_o inquire_v then_o why_o the_o sin_n be_v not_o take_v away_o in_o purgatory_n though_o i_o can_v answer_v you_o that_o it_o be_v because_o they_o be_v in_fw-la termino_fw-la and_o you_o divine_v tell_v we_o they_o can_v merit_v nor_o demerit_n yet_o both_o i_o and_o you_o may_v ask_v how_o this_o be_v prove_v and_o whither_o we_o go_v consequent_o i_o can_v answer_v again_o that_o it_o be_v for_o want_v of_o fancy_n or_o of_o a_o intellectus_fw-la agens_fw-la but_o you_o will_v reply_v god_n supernatural_o supply_v that_o and_o i_o shall_v think_v god_n do_v not_o nor_o can_v prudent_o change_v his_o settle_a order_n of_o cause_n mere_o by_o favour_n and_o because_o he_o will_v without_o the_o profit_n of_o the_o world_n therefore_o i_o must_v brief_o say_v it_o be_v the_o result_n of_o nature_n and_o that_o the_o coexistence_n of_o compossible_a desire_n impeach_v not_o the_o duration_n of_o these_o weak_a affection_n since_o god_n act_v not_o but_o by_o infusion_n of_o new_a existence_n as_o in_o the_o resurrection_n he_o that_o will_v assert_v miracle_n without_o proof_n play_v not_o the_o divine_a but_o put_v all_o in_o confusion_n for_o this_o interrogation_n can_v god_n do_v it_o carry_v such_o a_o awful_a aspect_n that_o it_o seem_v to_o lay_v the_o imputation_n of_o atheism_n on_o he_o who_o dare_v so_o much_o as_o doubt_v it_o yet_o you_o and_o all_o good_a divine_n know_v it_o signify_v no_o more_o then_o whether_o the_o effect_n imply_v contradiction_n which_o may_v be_v dispute_v without_o horror_n nay_o peradventure_o not_o so_o much_o for_o if_o god_n can_v do_v in_o particular_a but_o what_o be_v best_a he_o that_o can_v show_v a_o thing_n to_o be_v not_o best_o how_o possible_a so_o ever_o it_o be_v exempt_v it_o from_o the_o force_n of_o that_o interrogation_n and_o although_o i_o can_v large_o discourse_v of_o this_o late_a part_n even_o by_o your_o own_o occasion_n who_o grant_v the_o course_n of_o nature_n to_o be_v for_o i_o yet_o to_o make_v this_o speculative_a part_n as_o short_a as_o i_o can_v i_o will_v only_o insist_v upon_o contradiction_n how_o ever_o i_o fear_v few_o more_o than_o yourself_o will_v be_v capable_a of_o the_o discourse_n i_o pray_v therefore_o reflect_v that_o when_o philosopher_n agree_v identity_n of_o time_n be_v necessary_a to_o contradiction_n it_o be_v not_o out_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o time_n itself_o which_o be_v a_o extrinsical_a accident_n have_v not_o power_n to_o make_v any_o thing_n compossible_a or_o incompossible_a in_o the_o subject_n where_o they_o imply_v contradiction_n but_o it_o must_v be_v the_o nature_n of_o the_o subject_n itself_o which_o be_v susceptive_a
