how_o do_v you_o know_v that_o adam_n do_v not_o make_v himself_o because_o that_o which_o be_v make_v must_v be_v make_v by_o something_o for_o as_o i_o say_v before_o nothing_o can_v do_v nothing_o but_o adam_n before_o he_o be_v make_v be_v nothing_o and_o therefore_o he_o can_v not_o make_v himself_o and_o the_o same_o reason_n do_v show_v that_o the_o first_o of_o every_o thinde_n of_o all_o creature_n in_o the_o world_n and_o the_o world_n itself_o do_v not_o make_v themselves_o but_o be_v all_o make_v by_o a_o thing_n which_o be_v something_o before_o that_o be_v by_o god_n almighty_a 5._o who_o make_v god_n almighty_a to_o be_v god_n be_v from_o all_o eternity_n and_o have_v no_o beginning_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v make_v for_o nothing_o can_v be_v make_v to_o be_v unless_o it_o once_o be_v not_o in_o be_v itself_o that_o so_o it_o may_v be_v make_v as_o be_v man_n and_o all_o thing_n else_o but_o god_n before_o he_o create_v they_o 6._o how_o do_v you_o know_v that_o god_n be_v ever_o because_o our_o faith_n do_v assure_v we_o thereof_o and_o so_o likewise_o do_v reason_n for_o if_o once_o god_n have_v not_o beme_fw-mi there_o have_v then_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o which_o suppose_v it_o evident_o will_v follow_v that_o there_o can_v never_o have_v beme_fw-mi any_o thing_n see_v that_o something_o can_v be_v make_v by_o nothing_o wherefore_o since_o that_o there_o be_v so_o many_o thing_n it_o follow_v that_o that_o thing_n which_o make_v the_o first_o of_o every_o kind_n be_v itself_o from_o all_o eternity_n 7._o wherefore_o do_v it_o follow_v that_o he_o who_o make_v the_o first_o of_o every_o kind_n must_v needs_o be_v god_n because_o see_v that_o nothing_o have_v power_n to_o make_v itself_o it_o follow_v that_o every_o creature_n must_v needs_o have_v a_o maker_n of_o a_o other_o more_o powerful_a kind_n than_o itself_o until_o it_o come_v at_o last_o to_o some_o thing_n which_o be_v more_o powerful_a than_o all_o kind_n of_o thing_n that_o be_v make_v and_o that_o be_v god_n beside_o nature_n itself_o do_v teach_v we_o that_o the_o maker_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v god_n for_o in_o all_o our_o danger_n and_o misfortune_n we_o do_v natural_o call_v upon_o he_o who_o make_v we_o and_o so_o all_o sort_n of_o people_n be_v agree_v that_o he_o be_v god_n moreover_o the_o beauty_n of_o this_o create_a world_n do_v teach_v we_o as_o much_o for_o as_o when_o we_o see_v a_o fair_a house_n well_o build_v we_o judge_v that_o it_o be_v make_v by_o some_o excellent_a architect_n so_o when_o we_o see_v the_o beauty_n of_o this_o world_n the_o order_n of_o creature_n the_o variety_n of_o time_n and_o season_n we_o gather_v from_o thence_o the_o greatness_n and_o wisdom_n of_o he_o who_o make_v it_o and_o that_o he_o can_v be_v no_o

god_n it_o follow_v that_o god_n can_v make_v all_o thing_n that_o can_v be_v make_v which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v that_o he_o can_v absolute_o make_v all_o thing_n for_o that_o which_o can_v be_v make_v be_v nothing_o again_o see_v that_o nothing_o can_v be_v do_v but_o what_o be_v do_v by_o something_o and_o whatsoever_o be_v something_o be_v make_v by_o god_n to_o be_v something_o it_o follow_v that_o god_n do_v give_v power_n to_o do_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v do_v or_o can_v be_v do_v and_o consequent_o that_o he_o himself_o can_v do_v whatsoever_o can_v be_v do_v for_o clear_a it_o be_v that_o who_o give_v power_n to_o do_v any_o thing_n have_v in_o himself_o power_n to_o do_v the_o same_o since_o that_o nothing_o can_v give_v what_o it_o have_v not_o itself_o and_o so_o you_o see_v that_o god_n be_v almighty_a for_o that_o thing_n be_v almighty_a which_o can_v make_v all_o thing_n and_o do_v all_o thing_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n also_o we_o must_v grant_v that_o god_n have_v in_o himself_o the_o perfection_n of_o all_o thing_n 9_o as_o god_n be_v the_o maker_n of_o all_o thing_n be_v it_o not_o he_o also_o who_o conserve_v all_o thing_n in_o be_v when_o they_o be_v make_v yes_o for_o as_o nothing_o can_v make_v itself_o no_o more_o can_v any_o thing_n conserve_v itself_o because_o conservation_n of_o a_o thing_n be_v a_o continual_a give_v
