do_v enlighten_v of_o any_o thing_n that_o it_o be_v good_a and_o that_o it_o do_v communicate_v that_o goodness_n so_o then_o see_v if_o nature_n do_v not_o teach_v we_o that_o if_o god_n be_v a_o infinite_a good_a he_o must_v communicate_v and_o produce_v a_o infinite_a good_a thus_o may_v we_o discourse_v from_o his_o infinite_a power_n if_o good_a and_o powerful_a both_o then_o why_o shall_v

beside_o that_o they_o be_v finite_a thing_n which_o do_v not_o can_v extend_v themselves_o to_o the_o expression_n of_o such_o a_o infinite_a excellency_n and_o then_o let_v i_o urge_v from_o that_o other_o medium_n aequiparantiae_fw-la before_o speak_v of_o power_n be_v know_v by_o their_o act_n and_o by_o their_o object_n all_o the_o world_n acknowledge_v god_n to_o have_v a_o infinite_a
