thou_o do_v more_o strict_o bend_v thy_o mind_n the_o truth_n to_o see_v but_o i_o will_v declare_v what_o shall_v more_o plain_o make_v it_o appear_v what_o be_v that_o say_v i._o since_o we_o

not_o force_v but_o voluntary_o and_o that_o each_o thing_n most_o free_o do_v to_o his_o ruler_n will_n its_o self_n dispose_v this_o to_o be_v true_a i_o do_v esteem_n nor_o will_v the_o guidance_n happy_a seem_v if_o that_o it_o shall_v a_o yoke_n impose_v not_o leave_v a_o freedom_n to_o dispose_v then_o what_o do_v nature_n law_n obey_v go_v not_o from_o god_n a_o devious_a way_n why_o no._n and_o if_o it_o shall_v say_v she_o what_o profit_n can_v it_o reap_v thereby_o since_o we_o most_o powerful_a he_o grant_v '_o cause_n he_o alone_o do_v nothing_o want_n why_o none_o then_o there_o

know_v whence_o she_o all_o single_a thing_n behold_v or_o they_o divide_v know_v whence_o it_o be_v that_o she_o all_o thing_n enfold_v what_o from_o the_o high_a heaven_n flow_v and_o what_o on_o the_o earth_n surface_n grow_v with_o this_o same_o knowledge_n she_o replete_a with_o truth_n do_v falsehood_n gall_n no_o knowledge_n sure_o can_v be_v so_o great_a which_o do_v from_o outward_a

bring_v unto_o it_o any_o novelty_n for_o it_o kn●w_v all_o intrinsic_o and_o if_o in_o body_n it_o be_v so_o their_o outward_a form_n by_o sense_n to_o know_v the_o outward_a object_n must_v reflect_v upon_o the_o sense_n and_o it_o affect_v and_o that_o we_o do_v the_o passion_n find_v precede_v the_o action_n of_o the_o mind_n and_o do_v provoke_v the_o soul_n to_o stir_v those_o inward_a form_n lie_v hide_v in_o she_o if_o that_o these_o body_n right_a to_o know_v the_o mind_n to_o passion_n this_o do_v owe_v although_o she_o passion_n do_v at_o length_n subdue_v by_o she_o

covet_v do_v and_o seek_v all_o danger_n to_o eschew_v reason_n do_v only_a man_n define_v and_o understanding_n be_v divine_a so_o that_o same_o knowledge_n excel_v sure_a which_o excel_v of_o its_o

be_v imaginable_a that_o universal_a can_v be_v if_o reason_n judgement_n true_a then_o be_v then_o nothing_o can_v be_v sensible_a no_o nor_o yet_o imaginable_a for_o many_o thing_n to_o she_o be_v know_v subject_a to_o imagination_n and_o sense_n then_o vain_a be_v the_o conceit_n of_o reason_n which_o do_v object_n treat_v that_o in_o their_o nature_n single_v be_v with_o her_o universality_n thus_o reason_n answer_n will_v be_v free_a that_o in_o universality_n she_o do_v behold_v what_o be_v sensible_a and_o what_o be_v imaginable_a but_o their_o weak_a knowledge_n can_v fly_v up_o to_o universality_n '_o cause_n they_o no_o knowledge_n have_v at_o all_o above_o figure_n and_o form_n corporeal_a then_o certain_o we_o must_v affirm_v that_o knowledge_n for_o to_o be_v most_o firm_a as_o also_o to_o be_v most_o perfect_a which_o know_v both_o form_n and_o the_o effect_n in_o this_o contention_n sure_o we_o endue_v with_o reason_n faculty_n that_o have_v imagination_n and_o
