whether_o out_o of_o scripture_n or_o reason_n that_o god_n be_v infinite_a and_o without_o composition_n most_o single_a and_o one_o that_o in_o he_o not_o as_o a_o accident_n be_v in_o a_o subject_n but_o modo_fw-la eminentiori_fw-la after_o some_o divine_a manner_n transcend_v our_o capacity_n uniâ—y_n be_v both_o understanding_n and_o will_n these_o be_v in_o he_o or_o rather_o be_v himself_o must_v be_v infinite_a this_o be_v the_o first_o foundation_n upon_o which_o i_o build_v and_o it_o be_v a_o rock_n which_o hitherto_o have_v be_v shake_v with_o no_o wind_n of_o opposition_n the_o second_o be_v like_a unto_o it_o that_o since_o there_o be_v a_o production_n by_o god_n who_o be_v most_o single_a and_o one_o most_o spiritual_a this_o production_n must_v be_v by_o some_o spiritual_a not_o corporeal_a faculty_n and_o these_o be_v but_o those_o two_o other_o former_o speak_v of_o will._n understand_v and_o will_n the_o understanding_n of_o god_n must_v be_v infinite_a and_o that_o infinite_a understanding_n must_v be_v fit_v with_o a_o infinite_a object_n for_o unless_o it_o be_v infinite_a it_o can_v be_v divine_a because_o whatsoever_o be_v divine_a be_v infinite_a a_o infinite_a object_n it_o must_v have_v because_o else_o a_o infinite_a faculty_n shall_v be_v in_o vain_a at_o the_o least_o in_o degree_n that_o be_v it_o shall_v not_o have_v a_o equal_a object_n to_o employ_v itself_o about_o understanding_n this_o infinite_a object_n can_v be_v none_o but_o himself_o for_o as_o whatsoever_o be_v god_n must_v needs_o be_v infinite_a so_o whatsoever_o be_v infinite_a must_v needs_o be_v god_n they_o be_v convert_v now_o then_o thus_o i_o argue_v god_n must_v needs_o know_v himself_o infinite_o eternal_o word_n or_o else_o there_o will_v be_v some_o duration_n or_o nunc_fw-la in_o which_o he_o do_v not_o know_v himself_o this_o knowledge_n of_o himself_o produce_v his_o internal_a word_n as_o i_o have_v speak_v heretofore_o that_o be_v the_o conceit_n the_o expression_n of_o himself_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v so_o for_o whatsoever_o be_v understand_v have_v at_o that_o instant_n in_o which_o it_o be_v understand_v a_o express_a image_n or_o character_n of_o itself_o in_o that_o understanding_n which_o apprehend'_v it_o well_o then_o it_o must_v necessary_o be_v that_o god_n understand_v himself_o eternal_o must_v needs_o have_v the_o expression_n of_o himself_o full_o whole_o with_o all_o his_o infinite_a perfection_n which_o belong_v to_o he_o but_o now_o because_o in_o man_n and_o angel_n which_o have_v a_o composition_n in_o their_o essence_n yea_o of_o substance_n and_o accident_n there_o their_o actual_a understanding_n be_v a_o act_n that_o word_n or_o image_n or_o character_n which_o be_v produce_v by_o that_o act_n be_v another_o intentional_a accident_n but_o in_o god_n it_o can_v be_v so_o he_o have_v no_o composition_n he_o be_v make_v up_o of_o nothing_o but_o be_v pure_o himself_n his_o act_n of_o understanding_n be_v substantial_a his_o word_n be_v substantial_a all_o the_o same_o with_o himself_o all_o divine_a all_o god_n himself_o therefore_o this_o product_n of_o this_o act_n of_o his_o understanding_n must_v be_v god_n god_n of_o god_n yet_o another_o person_n the_o same_o person_n can_v be_v the_o producer_n and_o the_o produce_v nor_o this_o produce_v be_v other_o than_o the_o same_o essence_n with_o the_o producer_n for_o it_o must_v be_v infinite_a have_v all_o the_o attribute_n the_o producer_n have_v or_o else_o it_o be_v not_o a_o complete_a understanding_n it_o will_v be_v short_a in_o somewhat_o nay_o i_o remember_v lul_n where_o before_o cite_v say_v because_o god_n be_v one_o and_o every_o form_n as_o he_o call_v they_o must_v be_v operative_a even_o his_o unitas_fw-la must_v be_v communicate_v and_o unio_fw-la must_v have_v unite_v he_o mean_n unifâ—cere_a must_v make_v one_o as_o well_o as_o be_v one_o but_o of_o this_o more_o hereafter_o but_o if_o it_o have_v all_o it_o must_v have_v the_o deity_n which_o in_o essence_n can_v be_v but_o one_o thus_o we_o may_v conceive_v the_o production_n which_o be_v before_o speak_v of_o to_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n as_o st._n john_n the_o character_n or_o express_a image_n of_o his_o person_n as_o st._n paul_n heb._n 1.3_o for_o nothing_o can_v be_v a_o more_o express_a image_n of_o another_o than_o that_o which_o be_v the_o word_n of_o it_o for_o that_o if_o it_o be_v a_o true_a word_n full_o expresse_n the_o be_v of_o it_o sâ—ar_n and_o hitherto_o i_o think_v i_o
