of_o they_o as_o it_o be_v at_o the_o first_o in_o a_o direct_a act_n of_o knowledge_n to_o apply_v its_o self_n to_o any_o peculiar_a intelligible_a object_n as_o scripture_n plain_o intimate_v a_o

from_o all_o those_o condition_n that_o will_v limit_v it_o to_o individual_a person_n and_o it_o must_v conceive_v it_o as_o somewhat_o common_a to_o all_o man_n here_o be_v a_o direct_a act_n of_o the_o mind_n but_o when_o he_o review_v this_o action_n and_o narrow_o search_v into_o the_o manner_n of_o apprehend_v and_o distinct_a understanding_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n and_o take_v

those_o intellectual_a image_n which_o represent_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n as_o abstract_v from_o all_o material_a accident_n can_v be_v corporeal_a and_o material_a themselves_o but_o immaterial_a

thus_o discover_v the_o be_v of_o god_n and_o that_o he_o must_v be_v of_o a_o infinite_a power_n to_o create_v a_o incorporeal_a substance_n out_o of_o nothing_o it_o be_v no_o difficult_a task_n to_o demonstrate_v the_o rest_n of_o god_n attribute_n from_o this_o that_o he_o be_v omnipotent_a or_o of_o a_o infinite_a power_n but_o to_o pass_v by_o all_o other_o attribute_n i_o shall_v only_o

be_v or_o be_v of_o being_n god_n bless_v for_o evermore_o if_o the_o essence_n be_v infinite_a that_o be_v of_o infinite_a power_n it_o follow_v that_o that_o essence_n can_v be_v limit_v or_o
