theorem_n 9th_o and_o 17_o therefore_o etc._n etc._n again_o whatever_o be_v must_v either_o be_v of_o its_o self_n or_o have_v its_o be_v from_o some_o other_o be_v axiom_n 6_o for_o nothing_o viz._n

that_o this_o other_o be_v must_v have_v its_o being_n either_o from_o infinite_a or_o some_o finite_a be_v and_o so_o you_o must_v still_o either_o grant_v our_o theorem_fw-la or_o else_o continue_v

have_v its_o be_v from_o some_o other_o be_v either_o finite_a or_o infinite_a but_o it_o can_v be_v from_o any_o finite_a for_o then_o this_o not_o that_o shall_v be_v the_o first_o of_o finite_a

be_v a_o first_o etc._n etc._n as_o before_o now_o what_o be_v here_o instance_a in_o man_n holding●_n true_a by_o parity_n of_o reason_n in_o all_o other_o finite_a thing_n which_o have_v be_v one_o

infinite_a of_o some_o of_o the_o propriety_n of_o both_o these_o we_o have_v treat_v hitherto_o compare_v they_o one_o with_o the_o other_o yet_o not_o at_o all_o determine_v whether_o there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n especial_o any_o infinite_a be_v so_o the_o explication_n of_o the_o first_o theorem_n but_o only_o have_v make_v it_o evident_a that_o if_o there_o be_v such_o thing_n as_o

xxii_o the_o world_n be_v finite_a for_o the_o terestical_a globe_n be_v not_o the_o whole_a world_n but_o a_o part_n thereof_o the_o same_o we_o may_v say_v of_o the_o sun_n moon_n and_o every_o star_n or_o even_o of_o heaven_n itself_o whence_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o world_n be_v a_o certain_a whole_a compose_v of_o those_o part_n and_o be_v therefore_o dividable_a into_o they_o axiom_n the_o 20_o so_o not_o infinite_a theorem_n the_o seven_o therefore_o finite_a theorem_fw-la xxiii_o there_o be_v real_o a_o infinite_a be_v for_o there_o be_v real_o a_o finite_a be_v as_o the_o earth_n the_o sun_n the_o moon_n man_n etc._n etc._n therefore_o there_o must_v be_v a_o infinite_a be_v from_o who_o these_o have_v their_o be_v theorem_fw-la the_o 21_o for_o it_o can_v be_v say_v that_o heretofore_o indeed_o there_o be_v a_o infinite_a be_v that_o give_v be_v to_o these_o finites_n but_o the_o same_o be_v now_o no_o more_o for_o then_o such_o infinite_a be_v must_v have_v be_v include_v in_o limit_n of_o duration_n and_o consequent_o not_o infinite_a definition_n the_o seven_o which_o be_v contradictory_n and_o absurd_a theorem_fw-la xxiv_o infinite_a be_v be_v of_o

because_o the_o virtue_n of_o a_o finite_a be_v be_v finite_a axiom_n the_o 10_o its_o effect_n can_v be_v infinite_a axiom_n the_o 11_o nor_o from_o the_o second_o for_o there_o can_v be_v two_o infinite_a being_n theorem_n the_o 6_o therefore_o the_o axiom_n be_v undeniable_a again_o infinite_a be_v be_v esse_fw-la itself_o theorem_fw-la the_o 17_o but_o esse_fw-la be_v of_o its_o self_n theorem_n the_o 25_o therefore_o infinite_a be_v must_v be_v of_o its_o self_n theorem_fw-la xxv_o infinite_a be_v be_v independent_a for_o it_o be_v of_o itself_o theorem_fw-la the_o 24_o therefore_o

theorem_fw-la the_o 17_o therefore_o so_o be_v whatsoever_o be_v independent_a theorem_fw-la xxvii_o infinite_a be_v be_v eternal_a for_o otherwise_o either_o it_o have_v its_o be_v from_o some_o

therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o produce_v the_o same_o by_o some_o immanent_a act_n which_o can_v be_v no_o other_o than_o the_o mere_a act_n of_o its_o will_n for_o in_o the_o production_n of_o

there_o be_v producible_a which_o of_o themselves_o be_v equal_o indifferent_a to_o be_v produce_v therefore_o when_o infinite_a be_v go_v to_o produce_v something_o out_o of_o itself_o either_o all_o
