god_n and_o have_v a_o insight_n into_o the_o most_o sublime_a and_o heavenly_a truth_n and_o by_o this_o mean_n also_o partake_v of_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o likeness_n that_o this_o

in_o knowledge_n after_o the_o image_n of_o he_o that_o create_v he_o whence_o it_o be_v rational_o to_o be_v infer_v that_o god_n image_n partly_o consist_v in_o knowledge_n and_o understanding_n hominis_fw-la socinus_n and_o 7._o smalcius_n have_v a_o very_a low_a opinion_n of_o the_o first_o man_n when_o they_o assert_v that_o at_o his_o be_v first_o make_v he_o have_v no_o more_o

when_o they_o assert_v a_o thing_n so_o unreasonable_a and_o absurd_a so_o wild_a and_o extravagant_a i_o do_v not_o say_v that_o adam_n be_v subtle_a and_o scholastical_a in_o his_o notion_n that_o he_o have_v any_o skill_n in_o the_o quirk_n of_o wit_n and_o logic_n i_o believe_v scotus_n will_v have_v baffle_v he_o a_o knotty_a schoolman_n will_v have_v put_v he_o to_o a_o nonplus_n and_o it_o will_v quite_o have_v puzzle_v and_o amuse_v his_o brain_n to_o have_v reduce_v a_o syllogism_n in_o bocardo_n for_o these_o subtlety_n be_v not_o the_o accomplishment_n of_o innocence_n and_o the_o

which_o be_v solid_a and_o useful_a what_o man_n of_o sense_n and_o sober_a thought_n can_v deny_v that_o god_n endue_v adam_n with_o a_o quick_a understanding_n upon_o consider_v this_o one_o thing_n

this_o be_v the_o great_a plato_n judgement_n who_o tell_v we_o it_o be_v no_o ordinary_a and_o mean_a thing_n it_o be_v not_o the_o work_n of_o a_o vulgar_a person_n to_o impose_v name_n on_o thing_n yea_o he_o that_o do_v it_o at_o first_o 〈◊〉_d be_v master_n of_o more_o than_o human_a wisdom_n and_o skill_n it_o be_v reasonable_a to_o believe_v that_o adam_n be_v a_o great_a natural_a philosopher_n have_v knowledge_n of_o all_o those_o creature_n which_o he_o name_v else_o he_o can_v not_o have_v fit_v name_n to_o they_o and_o that_o he_o do_v so_o be_v evident_a from_o compare_v the_o 19_o verse_n of_o the_o forementioned_a chapter_n with_o the_o 22_o d_o and_o 23_o d_o verse_n in_o the_o former_a it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o lord_n god_n form_v every_o live_a creature_n out_o of_o the_o ground_n and_o bring_v they_o to_o adam_n to_o see_v what_o he_o will_v call_v they_o and_o whatsoever_o he_o call_v they_o that_o be_v the_o name_n thereof_o in_o the_o latter_a it_o be_v say_v the_o rib_n which_o the_o lord_n god_n have_v take_v from_o man_n make_v he_o a_o woman_n and_o bring_v she_o unto_o the_o man._n and_o adam_n say_v she_o shall_v be_v call_v woman_n because_o she_o be_v take_v out_o of_o man._n you_o see_v the_o parallel_n the_o brute_n creature_n be_v borough_n by_o god_n to_o adam_n on_o purpose_n that_o he_o shall_v bestow_v name_n on_o they_o so_o be_v eve_n bring_v to_o he_o that_o she_o shall_v have_v a_o name_v give_v she_o by_o he_o adam_n give_v proper_a and_o significant_a name_n to_o the_o other_o creature_n and_o so_o he_o do_v to_o the_o woman_n we_o gather_v the_o former_a from_o the_o latter_a we_o find_v that_o when_o god_n bring_v the_o woman_n to_o the_o man_n he_o fasten_v a_o name_n on_o her_o suitable_a to_o her_o nature_n and_o original_a therefore_o it_o be_v reasonable_o to_o be_v conclude_v that_o when_o the_o other_o creature_n of_o a_o inferior_a rank_n be_v bring_v by_o god_n to_o adam_n he_o confer_v such_o name_n on_o they_o as_o be_v most_o expressive_a of_o their_o different_a property_n and_o quality_n as_o god_n have_v give_v adam_n his_o name_n which_o be_v significant_a so_o adam_n give_v
