that_o haunt_v both_o land_n and_o sea_n do_v tremble_v at_o god_n scourge_n under_o who_o the_o whole_a world_n do_v quake_v these_o atheist_n therefore_o be_v more_o incredulous_a than_o the_o

day_n teach_v we_o that_o they_o which_o most_o impudent_o will_v seem_v to_o believe_v no_o divinity_n have_v be_v &_o be_v the_o first_o &_o loud_a confesser_n of_o the_o same_o whensoever_o it_o vouchsafe_v to_o be_v revel_v by_o thunder_n earthquake_n &_o such_o other_o extraordinary_a work_n for_o the_o horrible_a terror_n which_o then_o affright_v they_o force_v they_o even_o to_o cry_v out_o and_o confess_v that_o their_o denial_n of_o god_n grow_v only_o of_o their_o drowsiness_n in_o his_o ordinary_a work_n consider_v that_o be_v waken_v by_o the_o extraordinary_a effect_n of_o his_o power_n with_o tremble_v and_o terror_n they_o acknowledge_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n again_o even_o in_o god_n ordinary_a work_n they_o do_v by_o speech_n confess_v that_o which_o they_o will_v not_o believe_v for_o when_o they_o say_v it_o rain_v it_o snow_v it_o hail_v it_o bluster_v it_o be_v hot_a it_o be_v cold_a etc._n etc._n if_o a_o man_n shall_v demand_v who_o do_v all_o this_o it_o will_v amaze_v they_o and_o why_o because_o it_o be_v a_o common_a persuasion_n with_o all_o man_n that_o it_o be_v god_n &_o that_o those_o work_n be_v proper_a to_o god_n only_o as_o contrariwise_o when_o at_o the_o enter_n into_o or_o beginning_n of_o any_o communication_n if_o a_o man_n shall_v say_v he_o write_v he_o command_v he_o walk_v he_o eat_v he_o come_v this_o be_v a_o

jew_n and_o christian_n second_o all_o heathen_a throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n do_v with_o one_o voice_n confess_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o last_o the_o very_a atheist_n themselves_o both_o in_o tremble_v and_o speech_n do_v many_o time_n acknowledge_v that_o which_o willing_o they_o will_v deny_v namely_o that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n 13_o now_o let_v we_o go_v forward_o and_o come_v to_o other_o creature_n yet_o comprehend_v man_n also_o who_o all_o without_o speak_v shall_v testify_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n of_o these_o there_o be_v four_o sort_n the_o first_o have_v essence_n only_o as_o the_o element_n the_o sun_n the_o moon_n the_o earth_n the_o stone_n and_o the_o water_n the_o second_o have_v essence_n and_o life_n and_o be_v call_v vegetative_a as_o herb_n tree_n and_o all_o plant_n the_o three_o have_v essence_n life_n and_o sense_n as_o soul_n fish_n and_o other_o beast_n final_o other_o have_v essence_n life_n sense_n and_o reason_n as_o man_n now_o to_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o if_o we_o ask_v which_o be_v first_o essence_n or_o no_o essence_n the_o answer_n be_v plain_a and_o by_o all_o man_n confess_v namely_o no_o essence_n and_o this_o do_v necessity_n require_v for_o otherwise_o the_o element_n the_o earth_n the_o sea_n to_o be_v brief_a even_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v must_v have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n and_o have_v have_v no_o beginning_n behold_v here_o be_v already_o one_o absurdity_n which_o man_n understanding_n do_v gainsay_v as_o also_o it_o be_v a_o most_o resolute_a point_n that_o whatsoever_o be_v eternal_a and_o without_o beginning_n be_v also_o immortal_a and_o without_o end_v that_o which_o be_v from_o ever_o be_v also_o for_o ever_o but_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v god_n except_v be_v by_o nature_n subject_a to_o change_v corruption_n death_n and_o end_n nothing_o therefore_o that_o be_v be_v eternal_a &_o without_o beginning_n but_o god_n who_o give_v beginning_n &_o essence_n to_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v moreover_o if_o that_o which_o be_v have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n and_o without_o beginning_n then_o must_v it_o of_o necessity_n ensue_v that_o the_o element_n the_o earth_n the_o water_n even_o so_o many_o thing_n as_o be_v must_v be_v so_o many_o god_n consider_v that_o nothing_o can_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n or_o without_o beginning_n but_o that_o which_o have_v his_o essence_n of_o himself_o and_o consequent_o god_n only_o and_o therefore_o to_o deny_v a_o begin_n in_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v be_v to_o acknowledge_v the_o same_o to_o be_v a_o god_n whereof_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o for_o the_o deny_v of_o one_o god_n we_o shall_v be_v force_v to_o confess_v that_o there_o be_v as_o many_o god_n as_o there_o be_v element_n star_n stone_n grain_n of_o sand_n upon_o the_o earth_n or_o drop_n of_o water_n in_o the_o sea_n if_o then_o we_o must_v confess_v that_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v have_v not_o ever_o be_v but_o have_v have_v some_o beginning_n then_o must_v it_o ensue_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n who_o of_o nothing_o have_v make_v that_o that_o be_v even_o as_o it_o be_v write_v in_o the_o beginning_n god_n make_v heaven_n and_o earth_n 1.1_o gen._n 1.1_o thus_o we_o see_v how_o that_o which_o have_v essence_n only_o even_o without_o life_n sense_n or_o reason_n do_v nevertheless_o without_o speak_v evident_o testify_v that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n that_o give_v unto_o it_o essence_n and_o beginning_n and_o in_o deed_n any_o thing_n that_o be_v be_v either_o a_o creature_n or_o a_o creator_n but_o if_o the_o creature_n presuppose_v and_o acknowledge_v a_o creator_n and_o consequent_o a_o god_n then_o do_v the_o element_n the_o earth_n the_o sea_n the_o stone_n and_o in_o brief_a every_o creature_n by_o his_o essence_n testify_v against_o the_o atheist_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n their_o creator_n 14_o if_o they_o reply_v that_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v be_v of_o itself_o we_o will_v demand_v since_o when_o if_o they_o answer_v from_o all_o eternity_n how_o can_v they_o prove_v it_o beside_o they_o must_v make_v as_o many_o god_n as_o there_o be_v thing_n that_o have_v essence_n as_o be_v afore_o show_v otherwise_o it_o can_v be_v choose_v but_o that_o they_o have_v be_v since_o some_o time_n which_o if_o they_o grant_v then_o let_v they_o tell_v we_o since_o what_o time_n that_o that_o be_v and_o before_o be_v not_o make_v itself_o and_o thereof_o lie_v down_o some_o proof_n but_o contrariwise_o if_o of_o nothing_o nothing_o be_v make_v as_o the_o philosopher_n do_v define_v than_o can_v not_o that_o which_o be_v nothing_o make_v itself_o some_o thing_n and_o assume_v any_o essence_n consider_v it_o be_v nothing_o thus_o it_o follow_v that_o it_o be_v contrary_a to_o all_o reason_n and_o man_n capacity_n to_o say_v that_o any_o thing_n that_o be_v be_v come_v of_o itself_o and_o therefore_o we_o must_v grow_v to_o acknowledge_v a_o god_n who_o only_o have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n 3_o exod._n 3_o give_v essence_n to_o all_o that_o be_v as_o also_o in_o respect_n thereof_o he_o be_v call_v among_o the_o hebrew_n jehova_n 8_o apoc._n 1_o
