other_o because_o in_o it_o be_v very_o many_o thing_n that_o be_v apparent_o and_o absolute_o false_a to_o make_v which_o appear_v i_o shall_v only_o name_v two_o or_o three_o manifest_a particular_n first_o he_o affirm_v that_o nothing_o be_v contrary_a to_o substance_n which_o he_o again_o assert_n in_o his_o logic_n 6._o and_o repeat_v elsewhere_o which_o to_o i_o seem_v absolute_o false_a for_o certain_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o fire_n be_v contrary_a to_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o water_n but_o thou_o will_v say_v the_o contrariety_n be_v sole_o in_o the_o quality_n but_o see_v these_o quality_n be_v every_o one_o proper_a to_o their_o substance_n and_o do_v arise_v out_o of_o they_o and_o accept_v their_o esse_fw-la from_o they_o and_o therefore_o do_v not_o this_o also_o

other_o which_o be_v contrary_a unto_o they_o and_o again_o in_o the_o same_o chapter_n it_o be_v false_a that_o he_o teach_v that_o contrary_n can_v suffer_v of_o themselves_o for_o do_v not_o cold_a

why_o may_v it_o not_o be_v lawful_a and_o possible_a to_o conceive_v a_o magnitude_n great_a than_o this_o world_n nay_o ten_o thousand_o time_n great_a wherein_o lie_v the_o impossibility_n he_o also_o define_v there_o infinitum_fw-la to_o be_v that_o beyond_o which_o something_o always_o may_v be_v take_v but_o how_o be_v that_o possible_a to_o be_v infinite_a that_o have_v something_o

and_o persuade_v it_o 1._o be_v this_o motion_n be_v the_o act_n of_o a_o movable_a thing_n therefore_o that_o which_o be_v movable_a have_v precede_v motion_n i_o pray_v you_o do_v he_o not_o wound_v himself_o with_o his_o own_o weapon_n and_o strangle_v himself_o by_o his_o own_o consequence_n for_o if_o any_o thing_n have_v precede_v motion_n therefore_o motion_n be_v not_o eternal_a 2._o he_o

eternal_a and_o nevertheless_o without_o motion_n he_o add_v because_o this_o be_v absurd_a a_o egregious_a instance_n true_o and_o indeed_o philosophical_a for_o where_o appear_v this_o absurdity_n he_o further_o urge_v if_o the_o thing_n movable_a have_v precede_v motion_n than_o it_o have_v rest_v and_o so_o another_o motion_n have_v be_v necessary_a before_o of_o which_o that_o rest_n have_v be_v a_o privation_n very_o as_o though_o he_o who_o be_v bear_v blind_a aught_o to_o have_v see_v in_o the_o womb_n that_o blindless_a may_v be_v account_v the_o privation_n thereof_o 3._o he_o

power_n to_o be_v frame_v into_o a_o house_n which_o be_v make_v to_o day_n as_o they_o have_v a_o few_o day_n before_o they_o be_v dig_v up_o 4._o he_o say_v time_n be_v eternal_a therefore_o motion_n also_o he_o confirm_v the_o antecedent_n 1._o because_o all_o philosopher_n except_o plato_n do_v affirm_v it_o as_o though_o the_o matter_n be_v plead_v in_o the_o court_n where_o voice_n

first_o and_o last_o if_o either_o the_o motion_n of_o heaven_n have_v begin_v or_o also_o if_o we_o believe_v that_o motion_n be_v not_o measure_v by_o time_n which_o be_v not_o hard_a to_o
