the_o cause_n that_o therefore_o only_o can_v be_v know_v of_o god_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v affirm_v of_o he_o as_o he_o be_v the_o beginning_n and_o cause_n of_o the_o creature_n but_o the_o creative_a virtue_n of_o god_n be_v common_a to_o the_o whole_a trinity_n therefore_o it_o appertaine_n to_o the_o unity_n of_o the_o essence_n not_o to_o the_o trinity_n of_o the_o person_n thus_o far_o he_o and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o of_o his_o argument_n i_o will_v answer_v they_o by_o degree_n one_o by_o one_o for_o perspicuity_n sake_n to_o this_o first_o i_o shall_v answer_v that_o although_o the_o great_a part_n of_o knowledge_n be_v either_o draw_v from_o the_o cause_n to_o the_o effect_n aequiparance_n or_o from_o the_o effect_n to_o the_o cause_n and_o the_o first_o

i_o apprehend_v that_o a_o man_n may_v prove_v the_o trinity_n although_o not_o by_o the_o effect_n of_o god_n in_o the_o creature_n as_o effect_n sect._n 4._o his_o second_o argument_n be_v that_o

and_o act_n of_o create_v be_v not_o provable_a by_o reason_n which_o be_v a_o article_n of_o our_o faith_n faith_n and_o although_o we_o can_v not_o prove_v it_o yet_o we_o must_v believe_v it_o which_o both_o he_o and_o his_o follower_n agree_v to_o grant_v second_o i_o answer_v that_o although_o these_o thing_n of_o faith_n be_v unseen_a by_o mere_a natural_a man_n without_o all_o faith_n reason_n yet_o when_o a_o man_n have_v faith_n than_o that_o light_n of_o faith_n may_v show_v he_o this_o or_o that_o thing_n of_o they_o and_o his_o reason_n may_v afterward_o likewise_o discern_v it_o for_o you_o may_v conceive_v a_o weight_n too_o heavy_a for_o a_o weak_a man_n to_o lift_v yet_o when_o a_o strong_a assist'_v he_o he_o can_v do_v it_o with_o he_o which_o before_o he_o can_v

yet_o have_v clear_o read_v they_o with_o spectacle_n can_v after_o by_o his_o weak_a sight_n read_v they_o without_o because_o the_o sense_n be_v in_o his_o head_n so_o a_o man_n who_o by_o his_o own_o weak_a sight_n of_o his_o own_o reason_n can_v lift_v such_o a_o burden_n as_o the_o trinity_n yet_o have_v the_o assistance_n of_o a_o strong_a his_o faith_n he_o can_v then_o lift_v up_o his_o

the_o sense_n of_o it_o in_o his_o head_n by_o that_o can_v afterward_o read_v it_o by_o reason_n so_o though_o these_o holy_a mystery_n be_v invisible_a to_o mere_a natural_a man_n yet_o when_o make_v apparent_a by_o faith_n they_o may_v afterward_o be_v discern_v likewise_o by_o reason_n scandal_n another_o argument_n be_v that_o it_o be_v unprofitable_a to_o faith_n for_o say_v he_o when_o
