eternal_a the_o absurdity_n of_o which_o we_o have_v already_o refute_v or_o have_v be_v a_o arbitrary_a or_o voluntary_a motion_n arise_v from_o a_o principle_n of_o intelligence_n nor_o can_v it_o

intelligent_a principle_n upon_o notice_n or_o conception_n if_o i_o may_v so_o speak_v of_o thing_n find_v at_o least_o some_o end_n to_o urge_v that_o voluntary_a motion_n so_o that_o as_o every_o the_o least_o effect_n of_o that_o motion_n must_v have_v be_v for_o a_o end_n so_o must_v it_o also_o have_v issue_v from_o a_o intelligent_a principle_n in_o the_o arbitrary_a mover_n whence_o it_o be_v evident_a this_o arbitrary_a mover_n or_o cause_n must_v have_v a_o perfect_a and_o absolute_a knowledge_n of_o all_o its_o own_o effect_n but_o here_o i_o will_v not_o be_v understand_v either_o to_o define_v the_o intellectual_a power_n of_o the_o first_o cause_n or_o the_o manner_n of_o their_o operation_n when_o all_o i_o attempt_v be_v to_o show_v that_o the_o least_o effect_n of_o the_o prime_a cause_n must_v flow_v from_o a_o voluntary_a motion_n to_o which_o although_o infinite_o more_o perfect_a that_o imperfect_a one_o of_o our_o will_n be_v somewhat_o analogous_a arise_v from_o a_o idea_n of_o that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v the_o effect_n of_o that_o voluntary_a motion_n and_o that_o idea_n also_o infinite_o more_o perfect_a than_o any_o of_o we_o and_o as_o this_o arbitrary_a cause_n can_v but_o have_v the_o most_o entire_a and_o absolute_a knowledge_n of_o all_o its_o own_o effect_n so_o must_v it_o be_v no_o less_o acquaint_v with_o whatever_o be_v possible_a beside_o because_o it_o comprehend_v in_o it_o all_o such_o possibility_n and_o whatsoever_o it_o so_o comprehend_v it_o must_v itself_o be_v conscious_a of_o see_v those_o principle_n of_o intelligence_n and_o voluntary_a motion_n already_o mention_v can_v be_v as_o perhaps_o in_o inferior_a and_o finite_a rational_n distinct_a from_o the_o other_o faculty_n and_o attribute_n but_o on_o the_o same_o account_n that_o such_o principle_n be_v assert_v at_o large_a to_o be_v in_o the_o prime_a cause_n they_o must_v also_o be_v annex_v to_o whatsoever_o of_o it_o be_v find_v to_o be_v of_o eternal_a existence_n see_v whatsoever_o be_v find_v to_o be_v so_o be_v alike_o independent_a of_o any_o foreign_a impulsor_n as_o the_o prime_a cause_n understand_v at_o large_a alike_o necessary_a and_o immutable_a and_o according_o a_o be_v alike_o intelligent_a and_o arbitrary_a again_o as_o this_o prime_a cause_n be_v infinite_o powerful_a and_o wise_a so_o it_o must_v be_v infinite_o just_a and_o merciful_a too_o and_o that_o because_o its_o effect_n be_v the_o object_n of_o its_o love_n as_o well_o as_o the_o offspring_n of_o its_o power_n for_o so_o long_o as_o they_o exist_v they_o be_v certain_o precious_a in_o its_o esteem_n and_o not_o only_a when_o they_o be_v first_o create_v but_o even_o as_o long_o as_o they_o continue_v in_o be_v it_o can_v but_o repute_v they_o good_a in_o truth_n unless_o they_o be_v so_o their_o alwise_a cause_n will_v fall_v under_o the_o imputation_n of_o act_v in_o vain_a and_o be_v oblige_v in_o its_o own_o justification_n to_o annihilate_v the_o universal_a system_n or_o at_o least_o such_o portion_n of_o it_o as_o be_v of_o no_o value_n in_o its_o sight_n by_o which_o rule_n as_o we_o may_v be_v assure_v of_o its_o
