from_o the_o rule_n and_o centre_n of_o truth_n i_o will_v in_o few_o word_n express_v unto_o you_o for_o first_o of_o all_o what_o i_o beseech_v you_o be_v of_o great_a antiquity_n than_o god_n be_v

exist_v without_o any_o respect_n have_v unto_o any_o other_o either_o precedent_n or_o coeternal_a principle_n from_o all_o beginning_n and_o therefore_o be_v sufficient_a in_o himself_o and_o of_o himself_o to_o work_v and_o operate_v by_o himself_o from_o all_o eternity_n but_o the_o principal_a reason_n of_o the_o foresay_a ethnic_a opinion_n be_v twofold_a first_o because_o god_n do_v act_n and_o operate_v by_o his_o proper_a essence_n and_o not_o by_o any_o acquire_v virtue_n then_o forasmuch_o as_o the_o effect_n in_o the_o world_n seem_v to_o be_v necessary_a and_o hereupon_o they_o

suffer_v again_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a that_o he_o shall_v be_v urge_v to_o work_v by_o any_o external_a or_o alien_a efficient_a cause_n because_o that_o he_o remain_v primary_o fix_v and_o

and_o withdraw_a they_o again_o when_o and_o where_o he_o please_v unto_o the_o second_o i_o say_v that_o necessary_a effect_n do_v no_o way_n include_v any_o necessity_n in_o the_o first_o efficient_a cause_n because_o that_o secundary_a cause_n which_o plato_n and_o other_o wiseman_n call_v handmaid_n or_o she-slave_n do_v act_n at_o the_o command_n and_o incite_n of_o he_o which_o
