this_o be_v the_o reason_n of_o it_o order_n require_v that_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n by_o which_o god_n produce_v that_o infinite_a variety_n which_o we_o see_v in_o the_o world_n shall_v be_v very_o plain_a and_o very_o few_o now_o it_o be_v the_o simplicity_n of_o those_o general_a law_n which_o in_o some_o particular_a case_n and_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o

will_v those_o law_n because_o tho'_o they_o be_v very_o plain_a they_o be_v nevertheless_o capable_a of_o produce_v that_o variety_n of_o form_n which_o we_o can_v never_o sufficient_o admire_v for_o

because_o those_o law_n do_v not_o relate_v to_o they_o alone_o but_o general_o to_o all_o being_n and_o that_o public_a good_a must_v be_v prefer_v to_o private_a advantage_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o if_o god_n make_v but_o one_o animal_n it_o will_v not_o be_v monstrous_a but_o order_n will_v require_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o make_v that_o animal_n by_o the_o same_o law_n by_o which_o he_o now_o form_v all_o the_o rest_n for_o the_o action_n of_o god_n must_v be_v proportion_v to_o his_o design_n by_o the_o law_n of_o nature_n he_o make_v not_o one_o animal_n but_o the_o whole_a

to_o the_o scripture_n all_o creature_n do_v subsist_v i_o only_o assert_v that_o god_n can_v neither_o make_v nor_o preserve_v spirit_n in_o order_n to_o their_o know_v and_o love_v the_o creature_n it_o be_v a_o unalterable_a eternal_a and_o necessary_a law_n that_o they_o shall_v know_v and_o love_n god_n as_o i_o have_v explain_v in_o the_o three_o article_n therefore_o this_o objection_n do_v

for_o as_o god_n can_v never_o act_n without_o knowledge_n and_o involuntary_o so_o he_o have_v make_v the_o world_n according_a to_o his_o wisdom_n and_o by_o the_o morion_n of_o his_o love_n he_o have_v make_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o son_n and_o in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o the_o scripture_n teach_v we_o now_o in_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n spirit_n be_v more_o perfect_a than_o body_n and_o

believe_v as_o i_o have_v already_o say_v elsewhere_o that_o body_n for_o instance_n have_v no_o power_n to_o move_v themselves_o and_o that_o their_o move_a power_n be_v only_o the_o action_n of_o god_n or_o to_o avoid_v a_o term_n which_o signify_v nothing_o distinct_a their_o move_a power_n be_v only_o the_o will_n of_o god_n always_o necessary_o efficacious_a which_o successive_o preserve_v they_o in_o different_a place_n for_o i_o do_v believe_v that_o god_n create_v certain_a being_n to_o make_v they_o the_o move_a power_n of_o body_n not_o only_o because_o i_o have_v no_o idea_n of_o this_o kind_n of_o be_v nor_o see_v how_o they_o can_v move_v body_n but_o also_o since_o these_o being_n will_v themselves_o have_v need_n of_o some_o other_o to_o move_v they_o and_o so_o on_o ad_fw-la infinitum_fw-la for_o none_o but_o god_n be_v true_o immovable_a and_o sole_a mover_n together_o which_o be_v suppose_v when_o a_o body_n strike_v and_o move_v another_o i_o may_v say_v that_o it_o act_n by_o the_o concourse_n of_o god_n and_o that_o this_o concourse_n be_v not_o distinct_a from_o its_o own_o action_n for_o a_o body_n move_v another_o which_o it_o meet_v only_o by_o its_o action_n or_o move_a power_n which_o at_o the_o bottom_n be_v nothing_o but_o the_o will_n of_o god_n that_o successive_o preserve_v this_o body_n in_o many_o place_n the_o transfer_v of_o a_o body_n not_o be_v its_o action_n or_o move_a power_n but_o the_o effect_n of_o its_o move_a power_n most_n divine_v likewise_o say_v that_o the_o action_n of_o second_o cause_n differ_v not_o from_o the_o action_n whereby_o god_n concur_v with_o they_o for_o although_o they_o understand_v it_o various_o they_o suppose_v that_o god_n act_n in_o the_o greature_n in_o the_o same_o action_n with_o the_o creature_n and_o they_o be_v it_o seem_v oblige_v to_o speak_v thus_o for_o if_o the_o creature_n act_v by_o a_o action_n which_o god_n do_v not_o produce_v in_o they_o their_o action_n consider_v as_o such_o will_v as_o it_o appear_v to_o i_o be_v independent_a now_o they_o believe_v as_o they_o ought_v that_o the_o creature_n depend_v immediate_o upon_o god_n not_o only_o as_o to_o their_o be_v but_o also_o as_o to_o their_o operation_n so_o in_o respect_n to_o free_a cause_n i_o believe_v that_o god_n continual_o give_v the_o mind_n a_o impression_n towards_o good_a in_o general_n and_o that_o he_o also_o determine_v this_o impression_n towards_o particular_a good_n by_o the_o idea_n or_o sensation_n he_o have_v give_v we_o as_o i_o have_v show_v in_o the_o first_o explanation_n and_o it_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n with_o what_o the_o divine_n believe_v when_o they_o say_v that_o god_n move_v and_o prevent_v our_o wi_n so_o that_o the_o power_n which_o put_v our_o mind_n in_o motion_n be_v the_o will_n of_o god_n which_o animate_v and_o incline_v we_o towards_o good_a for_o god_n create_v not_o being_n to_o make_v they_o the_o move_a power_n of_o mind_n for_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o he_o do_v not_o create_v any_o to_o make_v they_o the_o move_a power_n of_o body_n the_o will_n of_o god_n be_v efficacious_a of_o themselves_o it_o be_v enough_o for_o he_o to_o will_v a_o thing_n to_o have_v it_o do_v and_o it_o be_v useless_a unnecessary_o to_o multiply_v being_n beside_o whatever_o be_v real_a in_o the_o determination_n of_o our_o motion_n likewise_o proceed_v from_o the_o action_n of_o god_n in_o we_o as_o be_v clear_a from_o the_o first_o explanation_n now_o we_o neither_o act_n or_o produce_v any_o thing_n but_o by_o our_o will_n i_o

body_n put_v in_o motion_n impel_v not_o other_o but_o in_o as_o much_o as_o they_o have_v a_o move_a power_n which_o transfer_v they_o and_o this_o move_a power_n be_v only_o the_o will_n of_o god_n
