this_o not_o be_v to_o be_v do_v our_o work_n appear_v in_o public_a to_o all_o the_o world_n it_o be_v impossible_a but_o i_o must_v needs_o leave_v you_o somewhat_o surprise_v for_o if_o you_o be_v

a_o unfinished_a piece_n the_o second_o that_o to_o each_o different_a kind_n of_o wit_n correspond_v one_o science_n only_o transcendent_o and_o no_o more_o for_o which_o reason_n if_o thou_o be_v not_o well_o assure_v in_o the_o choice_n of_o what_o suit_v thy_o talon_n thou_o will_v find_v thyself_o very_o short_a in_o the_o rest_n with_o the_o most_o assiduous_a application_n the_o three_o that_o after_o thou_o have_v find_v out_o what_o science_n correspond_v best_a with_o thy_o wit_n there_o remain_v if_o thou_o will_v not_o err_v another_o great_a difficulty_n which_o be_v whether_o the_o practic_n or_o theory_n suit_v best_a with_o thy_o genius_n for_o these_o two_o part_n in_o all_o science_n whatever_a be_v so_o opposite_a to_o each_o other_o and_o require_v wit_n so_o

any_o natural_a mean_n requisite_a for_o human_a wisdom_n all_o this_o notwithstanding_o it_o be_v of_o great_a force_n that_o the_o prophet_n shall_v assign_v he_o the_o same_o food_n the_o greek_n

the_o good_a we_o be_v to_o understand_v that_o by_o mean_n of_o these_o aliment_n christ_n our_o redeemer_n as_o he_o be_v man_n obtain_v more_o exquisite_a wisdom_n than_o he_o shall_v have_v possess_v have_v he_o use_v other_o contrary_a meat_n for_o so_o there_o be_v need_n to_o explain_v the_o particle_n that_o to_o know_v what_o he_o mean_v when_o he_o speak_v in_o those_o term_n we_o be_v to_o presuppose_v then_o that_o in_o christ_n our_o redeemer_n there_o be_v two_o nature_n as_o the_o truth_n be_v and_o our_o faith_n teach_v the_o one_o divine_a as_o he_o be_v god_n and_o the_o other_o human_a compound_v of_o a_o rational_a soul_n and_o elementary_a body_n so_o dispose_v and_o organise_v as_o other_o of_o the_o son_n of_o men._n as_o concern_v the_o first_o nature_n we_o be_v not_o to_o treat_v of_o the_o wisdom_n of_o our_o lord_n christ_n because_o it_o be_v infinite_a without_o increase_n or_o diminution_n and_o without_o depend_v on_o any_o other_o thing_n more_o than_o his_o be_v god_n and_o so_o he_o be_v as_o wise_a in_o his_o mother_n womb_n as_o he_o be_v at_o thirty_o three_o year_n of_o age_n and_o even_o as_o he_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n but_o as_o to_o what_o concern_v his_o second_o nature_n you_o be_v to_o know_v that_o the_o soul_n of_o christ_n from_o the_o instant_n that_o god_n create_v it_o be_v as_o happy_a and_o glorious_a as_o it_o be_v at_o this_o day_n and_o since_o it_o enjoy_v god_n and_o his_o wisdom_n sure_o it_o be_v that_o there_o be_v no_o ignorance_n in_o he_o but_o that_o he_o have_v so_o much_o infuse_v knowledge_n as_o his_o natural_a capacity_n be_v capable_a of_o but_o withal_o it_o be_v no_o less_o certain_a that_o according_a as_o glory_n do_v not_o communicate_v itself_o to_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o body_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o redemption_n of_o mankind_n no_o more_o do_v wisdom_n infuse_v communicate_v itself_o for_o the_o brain_n be_v not_o dispose_v and_o organise_v with_o the_o quality_n and_o substance_n necessary_a to_o the_o end_n the_o soul_n may_v with_o such_o a_o instrument_n discourse_n and_o philosophise_v for_o if_o you_o call_v to_o mind_v what_o we_o deliver_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o this_o work_n that_o the_o grace_n gratis_o give_v which_o god_n bestow_v upon_o man_n do_v require_v ordinary_o that_o the_o instrument_n with_o which_o they_o be_v to_o be_v exercise_v and_o the_o subject_a into_o which_o they_o be_v to_o be_v receive_v contain_v the_o natural_a quality_n requisite_a for_o every_o such_o grace_n and_o the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o rational_a soul_n be_v a_o act_n of_o the_o body_n and_o work_v not_o without_o the_o mediation_n of_o corporal_a organ_n the_o brain_n of_o our_o lord_n christ_n when_o a_o child_n and_o newborn_a have_v much_o moisture_n for_o at_o that_o age_n it_o be_v but_o requisite_a and_o a_o natural_a thing_n but_o through_o exceed_v in_o quantity_n his_o rational_a soul_n can_v not_o natural_o discourse_n or_o philosophise_v with_o such_o a_o instrument_n and_o so_o infuse_v knowledge_n pass_v neither_o to_o the_o corporal_a memory_n nor_o to_o the_o imagination_n nor_o understanding_n because_o those_o three_o be_v organic_n power_n as_o we_o have_v already_o prove_v and_o enjoy_v not_o their_o due_a perfection_n but_o the_o brain_n dry_v with_o time_n and_o ripe_a age_n the_o rational_a soul_n daily_o discover_v more_o and_o more_o the_o infuse_v knowledge_n it_o have_v and_o communicate_v the_o same_o to_o the_o corporal_a faculty_n ii_o now_o beside_o this_o supernatural_a knowledge_n it_o have_v also_o another_o gather_v from_o thing_n child_n hear_v see_v smell_v taste_n and_o touch_v and_o this_o be_v certain_a our_o lord_n christ_n attain_v like_o other_o of_o the_o son_n of_o men._n and_o like_v as_o to_o see_v thing_n clear_o he_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o good_a eye_n and_o for_o hear_v of_o sound_n of_o good_a ear_n so_o also_o he_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o a_o good_a brain_n to_o distinguish_v between_o good_a and_o evil._n and_o so_o it_o be_v sure_a that_o by_o eat_v such_o delicate_a meat_n his_o head_n be_v daily_o better_a organise_v and_o obtain_v more_o wisdom_n after_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o if_o god_n have_v take_v from_o he_o infuse_v knowledge_n thrice_o in_o the_o course_n of_o his_o life_n to_o find_v what_o he_o have_v acquire_v we_o shall_v find_v that_o at_o ten_o year_n he_o know_v more_o than_o at_o five_o at_o twenty_o more_o than_o at_o ten_o and_o at_o thirty_o three_o more_o than_o at_o twenty_o and_o that_o this_o doctrine_n be_v true_a and_o catholic_n the_o very_a letter_n of_o the_o text_n of_o the_o gospel_n prove_v say_v ●_o and_o jesus_n increase_v in_o wisdom_n and_o stature_n and_o
