of_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n together_o with_o a_o demonstration_n of_o his_o existence_n i_o affirm_v in_o the_o general_a of_o the_o divine_a nature_n that_o it_o be_v a_o infinite_a extension_n

which_o i_o have_v assign_v in_o their_o utmost_a latitude_n perfection_n and_o extent_n and_o for_o the_o extension_n of_o the_o divine_a substance_n i_o be_o so_o very_o persuade_v of_o its_o

belong_v to_o the_o very_a notion_n of_o substance_n or_o existence_n consider_v in_o the_o general_a for_o nothing_o be_v which_o be_v not_o somewhere_o and_o there_o be_v no_o somewhere_o which_o

no_o notion_n of_o the_o divine_a omnipresence_n without_o suppose_v he_o to_o be_v infinite_o extend_v again_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o motion_n be_v a_o distinct_a thing_n from_o matter_n all_o matter_n be_v indifferent_a in_o itself_o either_o to_o rest_n or_o motion_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o part_n of_o matter_n be_v at_o perfect_a rest_n which_o may_v not_o by_o a_o sufficient_a force_n be_v put_v into_o a_o swift_a degree_n of_o motion_n nor_o any_o part_n of_o it_o never_o so_o swift_o move_v which_o meet_v with_o obstacle_n and_o impediment_n from_o without_o may_v not_o be_v reduce_v to_o perfect_a rest_n so_o that_o it_o be_v plain_a since_o motion_n be_v not_o essential_a to_o matter_n it_o must_v therefore_o either_o be_v a_o thing_n subsist_v by_o itself_o or_o it_o must_v be_v the_o attribute_n or_o property_n of_o some_o other_o substance_n it_o can_v be_v the_o former_a a_o thing_n subsist_v by_o itself_o because_o motion_n in_o the_o abstract_n can_v possible_o be_v conceive_v for_o there_o can_v be_v no_o motion_n but_o there_o must_v at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v some_o substance_n or_o other_o that_o be_v move_v or_o that_o move_v and_o

itself_o nor_o increase_v or_o suspend_v its_o own_o motion_n and_o which_o from_o the_o swift_a motion_n may_v by_o natural_a impediment_n be_v reduce_v to_o perfect_a rest_n it_o be_v plain_a that_o it_o must_v unavoidable_o belong_v to_o something_o which_o be_v not_o matter_n that_o be_v to_o a_o immaterial_a or_o incorporeal_a substance_n if_o therefore_o motion_n itself_o be_v extend_v as_o

shall_v be_v extend_v in_o like_a manner_n and_o to_o say_v otherwise_o be_v to_o say_v that_o accident_n may_v wander_v from_o their_o substance_n and_o they_o may_v be_v separate_v from_o one_o another_o which_o all_o man_n know_v to_o be_v impossible_a and_o absurd_a for_o as_o there_o can_v be_v no_o colour_n without_o some_o substance_n which_o be_v colour_v no_o shape_n or_o figure_n without_o some_o substance_n which_o be_v figure_v and_o shape_a so_o neither_o can_v there_o be_v any_o motion_n without_o some_o substance_n which_o do_v move_v or_o be_v move_v and_o if_o there_o can_v be_v no_o extension_n of_o colour_n or_o of_o figure_n then_o certain_o there_o can_v be_v no_o extension_n of_o motion_n neither_o without_o the_o extension_n of_o that_o substance_n to_o which_o it_o belong_v from_o hence_o it_o follow_v that_o that_o motion_n or_o activity_n by_o which_o the_o far_o great_a part_n of_o the_o universe_n be_v keep_v in_o a_o fluid_a condition_n orin_v

hence_o it_o follow_v that_o this_o motion_n or_o activity_n must_v be_v coextend_v to_o some_o immaterial_a substance_n wherein_o this_o power_n or_o activity_n shall_v reside_v as_o in_o its_o

this_o first_o cause_n and_o principle_n of_o motion_n in_o the_o world_n must_v not_o only_o be_v suppose_v to_o be_v endow_v with_o a_o power_n of_o motion_n and_o activity_n from_o itself_o but_o
