in_o this_o life_n through_o the_o knowledge_n we_o have_v of_o eternal_a truth_n truth_n be_v uncreated_a immutable_a immense_a eternal_a and_o above_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v true_a independent_o

nothing_o can_v have_v all_o these_o perfection_n except_o god_n therefore_o truth_n be_v god._n we_o see_v immutable_a and_o eternal_a truth_n therefore_o we_o see_v god._n these_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o st._n augustin_n my_o own_o be_v somewhat_o different_a and_o i_o will_v not_o unjust_o usurp_v the_o authority_n of_o so_o great_a a_o man_n to_o countenance_v my_o opinion_n it_o be_v my_o thought_n then_o that_o truth_n even_o those_o which_o be_v eternal_a as_o that_o twice_o two_o be_v four_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o absolute_a being_n so_o far_o be_o i_o from_o believe_v they_o to_o be_v god._n for_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o this_o truth_n consist_v only_o in_o the_o relation_n of_o equality_n which_o be_v between_o twice_o two_o and_o four_o we_o do_v not_o say_v then_o with_o st._n augustin_n that_o we_o see_v god_n in_o see_v eternal_a truth_n but_o in_o see_v the_o idea_n of_o these_o truth_n for_o idea_n be_v real_a but_o the_o equality_n between_o idea_n which_o be_v the_o truth_n have_v nothing_o real_a in_o it_o when_o for_o instance_n we_o say_v the_o cloth_n we_o measure_v be_v three_o ell_n long_o the_o cloth_n and_o the_o ell_n be_v real_a but_o the_o equality_n between_o the_o three_o ell_n and_o the_o cloth_n be_v no_o real_a be_v but_o only_o a_o relation_n intervening_a between_o they_o in_o say_v twice_o two_o be_v four_o the_o idea_n of_o the_o number_n be_v real_a but_o the_o equality_n between_o they_o be_v only_o a_o relation_n and_o thus_o according_a to_o our_o own_o opinion_n we_o see_v god_n in_o see_v eternal_a truth_n not_o that_o these_o truth_n be_v god_n but_o because_o the_o idea_n on_o which_o these_o truth_n depend_v exist_v in_o god_n and_o perhaps_o too_o st._n augustin_n understand_v it_o so_o we_o be_v persuade_v also_o that_o we_o know_v changeable_a and_o corruptible_a truth_n in_o god_n though_o st._n augustin_n speak_v only_o of_o the_o immutable_a and_o incorruptible_a since_o there_o be_v no_o

which_o relate_v to_o these_o thing_n but_o when_o i_o say_v that_o we_o see_v in_o god_n material_a and_o sensible_a thing_n special_a notice_n shall_v be_v take_v that_o i_o do_v say_v we_o have_v

in_o perceive_v any_o thing_n of_o a_o sensible_a nature_n two_o thing_n occur_v in_o our_o perception_n sensation_n and_o pure_a idea_n the_o sensation_n be_v a_o modification_n of_o our_o soul_n

consequent_o exceed_v great_a but_o in_o answer_n to_o this_o i_o say_v first_o that_o pure_o intellectual_a joy_n leave_v the_o mind_n to_o its_o entire_a liberty_n and_o take_v up_o but_o very_o little_a of_o its_o think_v capacity_n wherein_o it_o differ_v from_o sensible_a joy_n which_o common_o disturb_v the_o reason_n and_o lessen_v the_o liberty_n i_o answer_v second_o that_o the_o happiness_n of_o adam_n at_o the_o first_o instant_a of_o his_o creation_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o a_o plenary_a and_o entire_a possession_n of_o the_o supreme_a good_a it_o be_v possible_a for_o he_o to_o lose_v it_o and_o become_v miserable_a but_o herein_o his_o happiness_n especial_o consist_v that_o he_o suffer_v no_o evil_n and_o be_v in_o the_o good_a favour_n of_o he_o who_o must_v have_v perfect_v his_o felicity_n if_o he_o have_v persevere_v in_o his_o state_n of_o innocency_n thus_o his_o joy_n be_v not_o excessive_a nay_o it_o be_v or_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v temper_v with_o a_o alloy_n of_o fear_n for_o he_o ought_v to_o have_v be_v diffident_a of_o himself_o i_o answer_v last_o that_o joy_n do_v not_o always_o intend_v the_o mind_n upon_o the_o true_a cause_n that_o produce_v it_o as_o a_o sense_n of_o joy_n arise_v upon_o the_o contemplation_n of_o one_o be_v own_o perfection_n it_o be_v natural_a to_o believe_v that_o prospect_n be_v the_o cause_n of_o it_o for_o when_o a_o thing_n constant_o follow_v from_o another_o it_o be_v natural_o look_v upon_o as_o one_o of_o its_o effect_n thus_o a_o man_n consider_v himself_o as_o the_o author_n of_o his_o own_o present_a happiness_n he_o find_v a_o secret_a complacency_n in_o his_o natural_a perfection_n he_o love_v himself_o and_o think_v not_o of_o he_o who_o operate_v in_o he_o in_o a_o imperceptible_a manner_n it_o be_v true_a adam_n more_o distinct_o know_v than_o the_o great_a of_o philosopher_n that_o god_n alone_o be_v able_a to_o act_v in_o he_o and_o produce_v that_o sense_n of_o joy_n which_o he_o feel_v upon_o the_o consideration_n of_o his_o happiness_n and_o perfection_n this_o he_o know_v clear_o by_o the_o light_n of_o reason_n when_o he_o attend_v to_o it_o but_o not_o by_o any_o sensation_n which_o on_o the_o contrary_a teach_v he_o that_o his_o joy_n be_v a_o consequence_n of_o his_o perfection_n see_v he_o have_v the_o constant_a sense_n of_o it_o and_o that_o without_o any_o application_n on_o his_o part_n and_o so_o this_o sensation_n may_v lead_v he_o to_o consider_v his_o own_o perfection_n and_o take_v pleasure_n in_o himself_o if_o he_o either_o forget_v or_o any_o way_n lose_v sight_n of_o he_o who_o operation_n in_o we_o be_v not_o of_o a_o sensible_a nature_n so_o far_o will_v this_o joy_n have_v be_v from_o render_v he_o impeccable_a as_o be_v pretend_v that_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o may_v probable_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o his_o pride_n and_o fall_n and_o it_o be_v for_o this_o reason_n that_o i_o say_v in_o this_o chapter_n that_o adam_n ought_v to_o have_v take_v care_v not_o to_o have_v suffer_v the_o capacity_n of_o his_o mind_n to_o be_v fill_v with_o a_o presumptuous_a joy_n kindle_v in_o his_o soul_n upon_o reflection_n on_o his_o own_o natural_a perfection_n the_o illustration_n upon_o the_o five_o chapter_n of_o the_o first_o book_n where_o i_o say_v that_o prevent_v delight_n be_v the_o

the_o soul_n existence_n but_o pleasure_n have_v no_o necessary_a relation_n to_o the_o object_n that_o seem_v to_o cause_v it_o and_o love_n be_v necessary_o relate_v unto_o good_n pleasure_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n what_o figure_n be_v to_o body_n and_o motion_n be_v to_o body_n what_o love_n be_v to_o the_o soul_n but_o the_o motion_n of_o a_o body_n be_v very_o different_a from_o its_o

but_o the_o figure_n of_o a_o body_n differ_v from_o its_o motion_n and_o it_o may_v be_v spherical_a and_o yet_o remain_v at_o rest_n it_o be_v true_a in_o this_o case_n it_o go_v not_o with_o

each_o other_o may_v yet_o be_v always_o find_v inseparable_o together_o i_o answer_v last_o that_o although_o pleasure_n be_v not_o different_a from_o the_o love_n or_o motion_n of_o the_o soul_n yet_o that_o which_o the_o first_o man_n feel_v in_o the_o use_n of_o the_o good_n of_o the_o body_n do_v not_o incline_v he_o to_o the_o love_a body_n it_o be_v true_a pleasure_n carry_v the_o soul_n
