perfect_a act_n that_o represent_v the_o object_n as_o it_o be_v which_o of_o itself_o admit_v no_o such_o distinction_n but_o be_v indivisible_a now_o to_o attribute_v to_o god_n such_o confuse_a abstractive_a and_o imperfect_a notion_n of_o object_n be_v to_o destroy_v his_o omniscience_n which_o can_v admit_v of_o no_o imperfection_n and_o so_o consequent_o this_o doctrine_n will_v ungod_n he_o wherefore_o the_o divine_a intellect_n have_v for_o its_o object_n all_o those_o particular_n with_o all_o their_o nice_a difference_n that_o be_v contain_v under_o those_o head_n that_o we_o

because_o god_n use_v no_o species_n no_o nor_o act_n distinct_a from_o himself_o his_o essence_n be_v his_o act_n and_o species_n also_o which_o have_v a_o reference_n to_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v

it_o from_o the_o differential_a formality_n for_o this_o will_v argue_v imperfection_n now_o since_o the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v regulate_v by_o his_o understanding_n he_o can_v make_v no_o decree_n by_o way_n of_o institution_n of_o a_o sacrament_n to_o elevate_v such_o or_o such_o sensible_a sign_n in_o general_a to_o produce_v supernatural_a effect_n except_o he_o fix_v it_o upon_o some_o

praecognitum_fw-la the_o will_n can_v have_v no_o object_n but_o what_o the_o understanding_n represent_v the_o understanding_n of_o god_n represent_v no_o general_n without_o particular_n therefore_o the_o will_n can_v decree_v a_o extraordinary_a concourse_n to_o a_o general_n without_o determine_v the_o particular_n for_o otherwise_o god_n will_v determine_v himself_o by_o his_o decree_n to_o

perfection_n of_o god_n understanding_n and_o will._n hence_o it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o matter_n and_o form_n of_o sacrament_n can_v never_o be_v capacitate_v to_o produce_v such_o wonderful_a and_o supernatural_a effect_n except_o the_o divine_a decree_n pass_v upon_o they_o in_o particular_a to_o enable_v they_o to_o it_o by_o his_o concomitant_a and_o extraordinary_a assistance_n but_o it_o may_v be_v allege_v that_o without_o affiix_v any_o obscurity_n or_o imperfection_n to_o the_o divine_a act_n a_o power_n may_v be_v leave_v to_o the_o church_n to_o determine_v some_o one_o of_o

have_v a_o power_n to_o institute_n sacrament_n for_o the_o essence_n of_o each_o sacrament_n consist_v precise_o in_o the_o matter_n and_o form_n so_o that_o the_o institutor_n must_v appoint_v and_o
