because_o it_o be_v not_o common_a neither_o can_v be_v attribute_v to_o any_o other_o but_o god_n for_o though_o there_o be_v thing_n that_o be_v immutable_a yet_o they_o be_v subject_a of_o

keep_v by_o god_n if_o he_o will_v he_o may_v leave_v they_o and_o then_o they_o be_v mutable_a this_o immutability_n not_o to_o be_v subject_a to_o corruption_n be_v proper_o attribute_v to_o the_o

because_o the_o power_n of_o it_o be_v so_o great_a that_o it_o can_v be_v corrupt_v by_o any_o power_n whatsoever_o second_o because_o it_o be_v without_o quantity_n and_o can_v be_v less_o or_o

we_o apply_v this_o to_o god_n that_o have_v all_o power_n none_o can_v corrupt_v he_o our_o saviour_n christ_n allege_v that_o place_n joh._n 10._o to_o show_v that_o his_o sheep_n can_v never_o

of_o god_n god_n be_v overcome_v by_o the_o faculty_n of_o man_n or_o some_o power_n that_o come_v from_o he_o second_o again_o god_n be_v without_o quantity_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v neither_o lesser_a nor_o great_a as_o saint_n augustine_n say_v he_o be_v great_a without_o quantity_n and_o where_o there_o be_v no_o quantity_n there_o can_v be_v no_o diminution_n for_o god_n can_v be_v

he_o can_v be_v lesser_a or_o great_a so_o be_v void_a of_o all_o alteration_n three_o again_o he_o can_v be_v better_a or_o worse_a why_o he_o can_v be_v better_o for_o than_o he_o shall_v not_o be_v

he_o have_v and_o take_v the_o ill_a he_o have_v not_o if_o he_o lose_v the_o good_a he_o have_v than_o he_o want_v and_o so_o still_o shall_v be_v imperfect_a and_o therefore_o he_o be_v thus_o

the_o immortal_a and_o the_o immutable_a god_n they_o serve_v false_a god_n because_o their_o god_n be_v mutable_a how_o appear_v this_o thus_o because_o their_o poet_n which_o be_v their_o prophet_n
