of_o the_o people_n with_o who_o he_o have_v to_o deal_v and_o for_o this_o cause_n have_v the_o opinion_n of_o sundry_a great_a personage_n and_o namely_o of_o saint_n augustine_n be_v 1●_n lib_fw-la

understand_v that_o that_o which_o be_v the_o first_o in_o intention_n be_v the_o last_o in_o execution_n but_o the_o mean_n between_o keep_v a_o like_a order_n do_v succeed_v from_o the_o first_o

abide_v in_o the_o consideration_n of_o his_o work_n for_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o we_o pass_v light_o over_o the_o infinite_a glory_n of_o god_n which_o shine_v unto_o we_o here_o below_o and_o the_o vanity_n of_o our_o understanding_n do_v willing_o carry_v we_o away_o to_o correct_v which_o vice_n his_o divine_a bounty_n will_v temper_v his_o work_n to_o our_o capacity_n and_o they_o which_o hold_v this_o opinion_n have_v note_v how_o the_o text_n before_o cite_v out_o of_o ecclesiasticus_fw-la wherein_o this_o word_n together_o be_v read_v be_v not_o proper_o so_o in_o the_o

now_o to_o reconcile_v these_o diverse_a opinion_n i_o think_v we_o may_v say_v that_o for_o the_o matter_n and_o rich_a seed_n of_o all_o the_o beauty_n and_o richesses_n of_o the_o univer_n it_o

in_o the_o mean_a while_o be_v sustain_v by_o the_o secret_a power_n of_o god_n afterward_o when_o moses_n add_v then_o god_n say_v let_v there_o be_v light_n 3.4.5_o verse_n 3.4.5_o and_o there_o be_v light_a and_o god_n see_v the_o light_n that_o it_o be_v good_a and_o god_n separate_v the_o light_n from_o the_o darkness_n and_o god_n call_v the_o light_a day_n and_o the_o darkness_n he_o
