ipsam_fw-la essentiam_fw-la dei_fw-la those_o property_n not_o to_o be_v any_o quality_n in_o god_n but_o the_o very_a essence_n of_o god_n because_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n be_v most_o simple_a and_o admit_v nothing_o of_o the_o predicament_n when_o as_o nothing_o can_v be_v add_v unto_o it_o nothing_o can_v be_v take_v from_o it_o but_o as_o s._n james_n say_v with_o he_o there_o be_v no_o

to_o the_o goodness_n of_o god_n neither_o man_n nor_o angel_n be_v good_a as_o both_o job_n and_o our_o saviour_n show_v when_o he_o say_v there_o be_v none_o good_a but_o god_n that_o be_v perfect_o

than_o his_o justice_n nor_o his_o justice_n any_o less_o than_o his_o mercy_n because_o he_o make_v not_o the_o wicked_a innocent_a 18.24_o exod._n 34.7_o ezek._n 18.24_o nor_o call_v evil_a good_a nor_o good_a evil_n so_o neither_o be_v his_o wisdom_n great_a than_o his_o power_n nor_o his_o power_n any_o less_o than_o his_o wisdom_n because_o his_o power_n can_v do_v whatsoever_o his_o
