A87711	Ophthalmos aplois or the single eye, entituled the vision of God wherein is infolded the mistery of divine presence, so to be in one place finitely in apperance, as yet in every place no lesse present, and whilst Hee is here, Hee is universally every where infinitely himselfe. Penned by that learned Dr. Cusanus, and published for the good of the saints. By Giles Randall.; De visione Dei. English.

be_v it_o not_o most_o high_o or_o absolute_o unite_v unto_o thou_o o_o good_a jesus_n i_o see_v in_o thou_o man_n nature_n to_o be_v most_o high_o join_v to_o god_n the_o father_n by_o the_o high_a union_n even_o a_o great_a than_o by_o which_o it_o be_v join_v to_o god_n the_o son_n the_o absolute_a mediator_n therefore_o humane_a filiation_n because_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o man_n be_v in_o thou_o jesus_n most_o high_o unite_v to_o the_o divine_a filiation_n that_o thou_o be_v worthy_o and_o true_o call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o man_n for_o in_o thou_o nothing_o mediate_v between_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o the_o absolute_a filiation_n which_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v complicate_v all_o filiation_n whereunto_o thy_o humane_a filiation_n o_o jesus_n be_v superame_o unite_v therefore_o thy_o humane_a filiation_n subsist_v in_o thy_o divine_a not_o only_o complicit_o but_o as_o the_o attract_a in_o the_o attract_v and_o the_o unite_a in_o the_o unite_n and_o the_o substantiate_v in_o the_o substantiate_a therefore_o in_o thou_o o_o jesus_n there_o be_v no_o possible_a separation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n from_o the_o son_n of_o god_n for_o separability_n be_v where_o the_o union_n may_v be_v great_a but_o where_o the_o union_n can_v be_v great_a nothing_o can_v mediate_v separation_n therefore_o can_v have_v no_o place_n where_o nothing_o can_v mediate_v between_o the_o thing_n unite_v and_o where_o the_o unite_a subsist_v not_o in_o the_o unite_n the_o union_n be_v not_o the_o high_a for_o there_o be_v

in_o the_o great_a union_n the_o unite_a with_o the_o unite_n to_o thou_o o_o god_n be_v glory_n for_o ever_o how_o jesus_n be_v understand_v the_o comply_v of_o the_o divine_a and_o humane_a nature_n chap_n 20._o very_a clear_o do_v thou_o show_v unto_o i_o o_o never_o fail_v light_n that_o that_o great_a union_n whereby_o man_n nature_n in_o thou_o jesus_n be_v unite_v unto_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v not_o by_o any_o mean_n like_v to_o a_o infinite_a union_n for_o the_o union_n by_o which_o thou_o o_o god_n the_o father_n be_v unite_v unto_o god_n thy_o son_n be_v god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o therefore_o a_o infinite_a union_n for_o it_o reach_v unto_o absolute_a essential_a identity_n but_o it_o be_v not_o so_o where_o the_o humane_a nature_n be_v unite_v to_o the_o divine_a for_o the_o humane_a nature_n can_v pass_v into_o a_o essential_a union_n which_o the_o divine_a as_o that_o which_o be_v finite_a can_v be_v infinite_o unite_v to_o that_o which_o infinite_a for_o than_o it_o will_v pass_v into_o the_o identity_n of_o the_o infinite_a and_o so_o it_o will_v cease_v to_o be_v finite_a when_o the_o infinite_a be_v verify_v of_o it_o wherefore_o this_o union_n by_o which_o the_o humane_a nature_n be_v unite_v unto_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o attraction_n of_o the_o humane_a nature_n to_o the_o divine_a in_o the_o high_a degree_n so_o that_o the_o humane_a nature_n whilst_o such_o can_v be_v attract_v any_o high_a it_o be_v therefore_o the_o great_a union_n of_o his_o humane_a nature_n as_o humane_a to_o the_o divine_a because_o there_o can_v be_v no_o great_a but_o it_o be_v simple_o the_o great_a not_o infinite_a as_o the_o divine_a union_n i_o see_v therefore_o by_o the_o benignity_n of_o thy_o grace_n in_o thou_o jesus_n the_o son_n of_o man_n the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o son_n of_o god_n i_o see_v the_o father_n for_o in_o thou_o the_o sun_n of_o man_n i_o see_v the_o son_n of_o god_n because_o thou_o be_v so_o the_o son_n of_o man_n that_o thou_o be_v also_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o in_o the_o finite_a attract_a nature_n i_o see_v the_o infinite_a attract_v nature_n i_o see_v in_o the_o absolute_a son_n the_o absolute_a father_n for_o the_o son_n as_o son_n can_v be_v see_v unless_o the_o father_n be_v see_v i_o see_v in_o thou_o jesus_n a_o divine_a filiation_n or_o sonship_n which_o be_v the_o truth_n of_o all_o filiation_n and_o likewise_o a_o most_o high_a human_a filiation_n which_o be_v the_o near_a image_n of_o absolute_a filiation_n as_o therefore_o the_o image_n between_o which_o and_o the_o pattern_n or_o sampler_n there_o can_v mediate_v a_o perfect_a image_n do_v most_o near_o subsist_v in_o the_o truth_n of_o that_o who_o image_n it_o be_v so_o do_v i_o see_v thy_o humane_a nature_n subsist_v in_o the_o divine_a nature_n therefore_o i_o see_v all_o thing_n in_o thy_o humane_a nature_n which_o i_o see_v in_o thy_o divine_a but_o i_o see_v they_o after_o a_o humane_a manner_n in_o thy_o humane_a nature_n which_o be_v the_o divine_a truth_n itself_o in_o the_o divine_a nature_n those_o thing_n which_o i_o see_v in_o thou_o after_o a_o humane_a manner_n o_o jesus_n be_v the_o similitude_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n but_o a_o similitude_n be_v without_o a_o mean_v join_v to_o the_o pattern_n or_o sampler_n so_o that_o a_o more_o like_a can_v neither_o be_v nor_o be_v imagine_v in_o the_o humane_a or_o reasonable_a nature_n i_o see_v be_v sonable_a humane_a spirit_n most_o strict_o unite_v to_o the_o divine_a spirit_n which_o be_v absolute_a reason_n and_o so_o the_o humane_a understanding_n to_o the_o divine_a understanding_n and_o all_o thing_n in_o thy_o understanding_n o_o jesus_n for_o thou_o o_o jesus_n as_o god_n understand_v all_o thing_n as_o god_n and_o this_o understanding_n be_v to_o be_v all_o thing_n thou_o understand_v all_o thing_n as_o man_n and_o this_o understanding_n be_v to_o be_v the_o similitude_n of_o all_o thing_n for_o a_o thing_n be_v not_o understand_v by_o a_o man_n but_o in_o a_o similitude_n a_o stone_n be_v not_o in_o the_o understanding_n of_o a_o man_n as_o its_o proper_a cause_n or_o reason_n but_o as_o in_o its_o species_n or_o similitude_n in_o thou_o therefore_o o_o jesus_n the_o humane_a understanding_n be_v unite_v to_o the_o divine_a as_o the_o most_o perfect_a image_n to_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o pattern_n as_o if_o then_o i_o shall_v consider_v the_o ideal_a form_n of_o a_o ark_n in_o the_o mind_n of_o the_o artificer_n and_o the_o species_n of_o a_o ark_n make_v most_o perfect_o and_o according_a to_o the_o idea_n by_o the_o master_n himself_o how_o then_o the_o ideal_a form_n be_v the_o truth_n of_o the_o species_n and_o unite_v unto_o it_o as_o the_o truth_n unto_o the_o image_n in_o one_o master_n so_o in_o thou_o o_o jesus_n the_o mr._n of_o master_n i_o see_v the_o absolute_a idea_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o the_o similitudinarie_a species_n of_o the_o same_o most_o high_o unite_v i_o see_v thou_o o_o good_a jesus_n within_o the_o wall_n of_o paradise_n because_o thy_o understanding_n be_v both_o the_o truth_n and_o the_o image_n and_o thou_o be_v both_o god_n and_o a_o creature_n infinity_n and_o finite_a and_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a thou_o shall_v be_v see_v on_o this_o side_n the_o wall_n for_o thou_o be_v the_o couple_v of_o the_o divine_a create_a nature_n with_o the_o humane_a create_a nature_n and_o i_o see_v this_o difference_n between_o thy_o humane_a understanding_n and_o any_o other_o man_n that_o no_o one_o man_n know_v all_o thing_n which_o may_v be_v know_v by_o man_n because_o no_o man_n understanding_n be_v so_o join_v to_o the_o sampler_n of_o all_o thing_n as_o the_o similitude_n to_o the_o truth_n but_o that_o it_o may_v be_v more_o near_o join_v and_o set_v more_o in_o act_n and_o therefore_o the_o understand_v not_o so_o many_o thing_n but_o that_o he_o may_v understand_v more_o by_o his_o access_n unto_o the_o sampler_n of_o thing_n from_o whence_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v a_o act_n have_v actual_o but_o thy_o understanding_n do_v actual_o understand_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v intelligible_a by_o man_n because_o in_o thou_o humane_a nature_n be_v most_o perfect_a and_o most_o join_v to_o its_o sampler_n or_o pattern_n for_o which_o union_n thy_o humane_a understanding_n exceed_v every_o create_a undarstanding_n in_o the_o perfection_n of_o understanding_n therefore_o all_o reasonable_a spirit_n be_v far_o beneath_o thou_o of_o all_o who_o thou_o o_o jesu_n be_v the_o master_n and_o the_o light_n and_o thou_o be_v the_o perfection_n and_o fullness_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o by_o thou_o as_o by_o the_o mediator_n they_o come_v unto_o the_o absolute_a truth_n for_o thou_o be_v both_o the_o way_n

nature_n pass_v into_o another_o nature_n as_o when_o the_o image_n be_v unite_v to_o its_o truth_n for_o it_o can_v then_o be_v say_v to_o be_v alter_v but_o rather_o to_o go_v back_o from_o its_o

most_o simple_a nor_o can_v thou_o then_o o_o bless_a jesus_n be_v either_o god_n or_o man_n but_o i_o see_v thou_o o_o lord_n jesus_n one_o supposition_n above_o all_o understanding_n because_o thou_o be_v one_o christ_n after_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o i_o see_v thy_o one_o human_a soul_n in_o which_o as_o in_o the_o soul_n of_o any_o man_n i_o see_v there_o be_v a_o corruptible_a sensible_a nature_n which_o do_v subsist_v in_o a_o incorruptible_a intellectual_a nature_n nor_o yet_o be_v that_o soul_n compound_v of_o corruptible_a and_o in_o corruptible_a neither_o do_v the_o sensible_a soul_n coinside_o with_o the_o intellectual_a but_o i_o see_v a_o intellectual_a soul_n to_o be_v unite_v to_o the_o body_n by_o a_o sensible_a power_n quicken_a the_o body_n and_o if_o the_o intellectual_a soul_n shall_v cease_v to_o quicken_v and_o enlighten_v the_o body_n though_o it_o be_v not_o separate_v from_o the_o body_n yet_o will_v that_o man_n be_v dead_a because_o his_o life_n will_v cease_v notwithstanding_o the_o body_n be_v not_o separate_v from_o life_n be_v the_o understanding_n be_v the_o life_n thereof_o as_o when_o a_o man_n intellectual_o labour_v and_o seek_v by_o the_o mean_n of_o his_o sight_n to_o discern_v one_o that_o be_v come_v and_o yet_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o other_o consideration_n his_o attention_n cease_v about_o that_o inquiry_n though_o his_o eye_n be_v still_o fasten_v upon_o it_o his_o eye_n be_v not_o separate_v from_o the_o soul_n though_o it_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o discretive_a or_o discern_a attention_n of_o

and_o feel_v nothing_o suppose_v it_o to_o be_v so_o in_o this_o close_a the_o intellectual_a nature_n will_v remain_v unite_v to_o the_o body_n which_o body_n will_v not_o be_v under_o any_o other_o

for_o death_n be_v the_o want_n of_o the_o quickener_n and_o yet_o that_o body_n will_v not_o be_v dead_a separate_v from_o the_o life_n which_o be_v the_o soul_n thereof_o after_o the_o same_o
