right_a angle_n can_v comprehend_v and_o enclose_v a_o superficies_n have_v but_o 3_o angle_n they_o be_v all_o acute_a if_o it_o be_v equilateral_a and_o but_o equal_a to_o 2_o right_a in_o which_o

unfold_v what_o be_v mean_v in_o this_o verse_n yet_o it_o will_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o speak_v one_o word_n more_o hereof_o in_o this_o place_n all_o thing_n that_o have_v existence_n may_v be_v divide_v into_o three_o class_n which_o be_v either_o what_o be_v pure_a and_o simple_a in_o itself_o or_o what_o have_v a_o nature_n compound_v of_o what_o be_v simple_a or_o what_o have_v a_o nature_n compound_v of_o what_o be_v compound_v in_o continue_a quantity_n this_o may_v be_v exemplify_v by_o a_o point_n a_o line_n and_o a_o superficies_n in_o body_n and_o in_o number_n by_o a_o

and_o intellectual_a substance_n which_o be_v of_o a_o pure_a and_o simple_a nature_n but_o receive_v that_o from_o what_o be_v so_o in_o a_o perfect_a manner_n and_o that_o have_v he_o from_o none_o else_o like_o line_n that_o be_v make_v by_o the_o flow_n of_o point_n or_o denary_n that_o be_v compose_v of_o unity_n beyond_o both_o which_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o last_o place_n body_n be_v to_o be_v rank_v which_o be_v compose_v of_o the_o element_n and_o they_o likewise_o suffer_v composition_n and_o may_v very_o well_o be_v compare_v to_o the_o low_a of_o the_o figure_n which_o be_v compose_v of_o line_n that_o owe_v their_o being_n to_o point_n and_o such_o be_v triangle_n or_o to_o centenary_n that_o be_v compose_v of_o denary_n and_o they_o of_o unity_n but_o if_o we_o will_v compare_v these_o together_o by_o proportion_n god_n must_v be_v leave_v out_o since_o there_o be_v as_o infinite_a distance_n between_o the_o simplicity_n and_o perfection_n of_o his_o nature_n and_o the_o composition_n and_o imperfection_n of_o all_o create_a substance_n as_o there_o be_v between_o a_o indivisible_a point_n and_o a_o continuate_a quantity_n or_o between_o a_o simple_a unity_n and_o a_o compound_a number_n so_o that_o only_o the_o other_o two_o kind_n of_o substance_n do_v enter_v into_o this_o consideration_n and_o of_o they_o i_o have_v already_o prove_v that_o man_n soul_n be_v of_o the_o one_o the_o noble_a be_v dignify_v by_o hypostatical_a union_n above_o all_o other_o intellectual_a substance_n and_o his_o elementated_a body_n of_o the_o other_o the_o most_o low_a and_o corruptible_a whereby_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o those_o two_o be_v the_o first_o and_o last_o proportion_n both_o in_o respect_n of_o their_o own_o figure_n and_o of_o what_o they_o express_v the_o one_o imperfect_a mortal_a feminine_a other_o immortal_a perfect_a masculine_a man_n body_n have_v all_o the_o propriety_n of_o imperfect_a matter_n it_o be_v but_o the_o

which_o to_o it_o be_v in_o lieu_n of_o a_o male_a and_o as_o in_o corporal_a generation_n the_o female_a afford_v but_o gross_a and_o passive_a matter_n to_o which_o the_o male_a give_v active_a
