absolute_a creative_a art_n subsist_v by_o itself_o that_o the_o art_n may_v be_v the_o workman_n and_o the_o mastery_n the_o master_n this_o art_n have_v in_o its_o essence_n necessary_o

even_a we_o though_o create_v beneath_o all_o other_o have_v from_o god_n that_o as_o well_o as_o it_o can_v it_o be_v a_o perfect_a and_o live_a image_n of_o the_o infinite_a art_n therefore_o it_o

and_o more_o conform_v its_o self_n to_o its_o sampler_n so_o that_o our_o mind_n though_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o its_o creation_n it_o have_v no_o actual_a resplendence_n of_o the_o create_a art_n in_o trinity_n and_o unity_n yet_o it_o have_v that_o concreated_a power_n that_o be_v stir_v up_o it_o can_v make_v itself_o more_o and_o more_o conformable_a to_o the_o actuality_n of_o the_o divine_a art_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o unity_n of_o its_o essence_n be_v power_n wisdom_n and_o will_v and_o inits_a essence_n do_v coinside_o the_o master_n and_o the_o mastery_n as_o in_o a_o
