A87711	Ophthalmos aplois or the single eye, entituled the vision of God wherein is infolded the mistery of divine presence, so to be in one place finitely in apperance, as yet in every place no lesse present, and whilst Hee is here, Hee is universally every where infinitely himselfe. Penned by that learned Dr. Cusanus, and published for the good of the saints. By Giles Randall.; De visione Dei. English.

lift_v up_o you_o my_o most_o belove_a brethren_n by_o a_o certain_a practice_n of_o devotion_n unto_o mystical_a divinity_n when_o i_o shall_v have_v premise_v three_o thing_n necessary_a hereto_o the_o vision_n of_o god_n that_o the_o perfection_n of_o appearance_n be_v verify_v of_o the_o most_o perfect_a god._n chapter_n i._n here_o in_o the_o first_o place_n we_o must_v suppose_v that_o nothing_o can_v appear_v about_o the_o sight_n of_o the_o image_n of_o god_n but_o that_o it_o be_v much_o more_o true_o in_o the_o sight_n or_o vision_n of_o god_n for_o god_n which_o be_v the_o height_n of_o all_o perfection_n and_o great_a than_o can_v be_v think_v be_v call_v 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d in_o the_o greek_a because_o he_o see_v and_o behold_v all_o thing_n therefore_o if_o a_o paint_a face_n can_v appear_v in_o a_o image_n as_o if_o it_o look_v upon_o all_o thing_n and_o every_o thing_n at_o once_o certain_o this_o be_v of_o the_o perfection_n of_o sight_n can_v less_o true_o agree_v unto_o the_o truth_n than_o it_o do_v apparent_o to_o the_o image_n or_o appearance_n for_o if_o one_o sight_n be_v in_o we_o more_o sharp_a and_o quick_a than_o another_o and_o scarce_o discern_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v near_o and_o another_o discern_v the_o thing_n that_o be_v far_o off_o and_o reach_v the_o object_n quick_o and_o another_o slow_o there_o can_v be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o the_o absolute_a sight_n from_o which_o be_v all_o the_o sight_n of_o thing_n that_o see_v excel_v all_o the_o sharpness_n swiftness_n and_o strength_n of_o a●l_n that_o actual_o do_v see_v or_o that_o can_v be_v make_v to_o see_v for_o if_o i_o look_v to_o sight_n in_o the_o abstract_n which_o i_o have_v in_o my_o mind_n free_a from_o all_o eye_n and_o organ_n and_o consider_v how_o that_o abstract_a sight_n in_o his_o contract_a be_v namely_o as_o they_o that_o see_v do_v see_v by_o that_o sight_n be_v contract_v unto_o time_n to_o the_o several_a part_n of_o climate_n of_o the_o world_n to_o singular_a and_o indivituall_a object_n &_o to_o all_o other_o such_o like_a condition_n and_o that_o sight_n in_o the_o abstract_n be_v on_o the_o other_o side_n as_o much_o draw_v away_o free_v acquit_v and_o absolve_v from_o those_o condition_n then_o i_o very_o well_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v not_o of_o the_o essence_n of_o sight_n to_o respect_n or_o look_v upon_o one_o object_n more_o than_o another_o although_o it_o inseparable_a accompany_v sight_n in_o the_o contract_a be_v thereof_o that_o whilst_o it_o look_v upon_o one_o thing_n it_o can_v look_v upon_o another_o or_o absolute_o upon_o all_o thing_n but_o god_n as_o he_o be_v the_o true_a uncontracted_a sight_n or_o see_v be_v not_o less_o than_o may_v by_o the_o understanding_n be_v conceive_v of_o the_o abstract_n sight_n but_o beyond_o all_o proportion_n more_o perfect_a wherefore_o the_o appearance_n of_o sight_n in_o the_o picture_n can_v so_o well_o as_o the_o conceit_n approach_n or_o come_v near_o the_o height_n of_o the_o excellency_n of_o absolute_a vision_n or_o sight_n and_o consequent_o it_o be_v no_o whit_n to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o whatsoever_o appear_v in_o that_o image_n be_v excellent_o and_o perfect_o in_o the_o absolute_a sight_n that_o absolute_a sight_n comprehend_v all_o manner_n of_o see_v chap._n 2._o now_o thou_o must_v after_o these_o thing_n understand_v that_o sight_n be_v vary_v in_o thing_n that_o see_v according_a to_o the_o variety_n of_o the_o contraction_n thereof_o for_o our_o sight_n follow_v the_o affection_n of_o the_o

aged_o but_o sight_n free_v from_o all_o contraction_n do_v at_o once_o and_o altogether_o comprehend_v all_o and_o every_o manner_n of_o see_v as_o be_v the_o most_o adequate_a measure_n and_o true_a examplar_n of_o all_o sight_n for_o without_o absolute_a sight_n there_o can_v be_v no_o contract_a sight_n and_o absolute_a sight_n comprehend_v in_o itself_o all_o manner_n of_o see_v and_o so_o also_o that_o every_o one_o and_o yet_o remain_v utter_o free_a and_o absolute_a from_o all_o variety_n for_o in_o absolute_a sight_n be_v all_o the_o manner_n of_o contradiction_n of_o see_v uncontract_o for_o every_o contradiction_n be_v in_o the_o absolute_a for_o absolute_a sight_n be_v a_o contradiction_n of_o contradiction_n it_o be_v a_o incontractible_a contradiction_n therefore_o a_o most_o simple_a con●raction_n covieides_n or_o be_v the_o same_o with_o a_o absolute_a and_o without_o contraction_n no_o thing_n be_v contract_v so_o absolute_a vision_n or_o see_v be_v in_o every_o sight_n because_o every_o contract_a see_v be_v by_o it_o and_o can_v be_v at_o all_o without_o it_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v speak_v or_o affirm_v of_o god_n do_v not_o differ_v real_o chap._n 3._o enter_v next_o into_o a_o serious_a consideration_n how_o all_o thing_n that_o be_v say_v or_o affirm_v of_o god_n can_v real_o differ_v because_o o●_n the_o high_a and_o most_o perfect_a simplicity_n of_o he_o think_v we_o in_o diverse_a respect_n ascribe_v divers_a name_n and_o attribute_n unto_o he_o but_o god_n be_v the_o absolute_a reason_n or_o be_v of_o all_o formal_a
