A28672	The arraignment and conviction of atheism, or, An exact and clear demonstration by natural arguments that there is a God presented to the view of all, but especially the learned / by Joshua Bonhome.	Bonhome, Joshua.	1679 (1679)	Wing B3593; ESTC R24212	68,915	170

ought_v always_o to_o be_v before_o the_o privation_n for_o example_n the_o sight_n before_o blindness_n life_n before_o death_n and_o that_o consequent_o the_o light_n be_v before_o darkness_n but_o i_o answer_v first_o that_o all_o philosopher_n agree_v that_o all_o physical_a privation_n be_v before_o the_o form_n whereof_o they_o be_v privation_n because_o they_o be_v privation_n of_o future_a form_n as_o logical_a privation_n be_v privation_n of_o form_n past_a and_o thus_o the_o seminal_a matter_n have_v the_o privation_n of_o the_o soul_n before_o it_o have_v the_o soul_n itself_o and_o every_o physical_a matter_n have_v the_o privation_n of_o the_o essential_a form_n before_o it_o have_v such_o a_o form_n and_o in_o the_o example_n allege_v above_o it_o may_v happen_v that_o blindness_n be_v before_o the_o sight_n deafness_n before_o hear_v and_o the_o privation_n of_o life_n before_o life_n so_o the_o bear_a blind_a and_o deaf_a man_n that_o jesus_n christ_n heal_v be_v blind_a and_o deaf_a before_o they_o receive_v either_o sight_n or_o hear_v and_o the_o embryo_n that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o infant_n in_o the_o mother_n womb_n before_o it_o have_v get_v perfect_a shape_n have_v the_o privation_n of_o rational_a life_n before_o ever_o he_o receive_v the_o say_v rational_a life_n second_o it_o be_v must_v true_a that_o when_o a_o subject_a be_v equal_o susceptible_a of_o the_o form_n and_o the_o privation_n of_o it_o if_o the_o agent_n may_v produce_v the_o subject_a and_o the_o form_n it_o be_v then_o in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o agent_n if_o it_o be_v a_o free_a agent_n to_o produce_v the_o subject_a with_o the_o form_n or_o with_o the_o privation_n thereof_o but_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o water_n be_v body_n equal_o susceptible_a of_o light_n and_o darkness_n therefore_o god_n who_o be_v a_o most_o free_a agent_n and_o who_o have_v create_v the_o earth_n the_o water_n and_o the_o light_n may_v have_v produce_v the_o earth_n and_o the_o water_n with_o or_o without_o light_n so_o then_o see_v that_o by_o the_o text_n it_o appear_v that_o darkness_n be_v before_o light_n we_o must_v conclude_v that_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o water_n be_v produce_v tenebrous_a final_o it_o be_v most_o true_a that_o the_o light_n god_n create_v be_v a_o most_o bright_a and_o shine_a body_n and_o not_o a_o accident_n as_o i_o may_v make_v it_o appear_v be_v not_o the_o digression_n too_o long_o already_o now_o who_o see_v not_o that_o god_n may_v have_v create_v the_o earth_n and_o the_o water_n before_o this_o bright_a and_o shine_a body_n see_v he_o can_v create_v one_o body_n before_o another_o by_o the_o consideration_n of_o these_o thing_n it_o be_v clear_a that_o in_o the_o two_o allege_v verse_n moses_n do_v not_o set_v down_o a_o general_a proposition_n of_o all_o those_o thing_n god_n be_v to_o create_v afterward_o but_o that_o he_o describe_v particular_o the_o creation_n of_o heaven_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o of_o the_o water_n which_o be_v produce_v the_o evening_n of_o the_o first_o day_n moreover_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o in_o the_o say_a verse_n moses_n speak_v not_o one_o word_n of_o a_o chaos_n contain_v all_o creature_n pell-melled_n and_o confuse_a together_o see_v there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o the_o firmament_n nor_o of_o the_o element_n of_o fire_n nor_o of_o the_o star_n nor_o plant_n nor_o live_v creature_n but_o only_o of_o the_o imperial_a heaven_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o of_o the_o water_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v never_o a_o word_n of_o the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n be_v mix_v together_o and_o in_o the_o whole_a history_n of_o the_o creation_n there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o the_o separation_n of_o heaven_n from_o the_o earth_n as_o there_o be_v of_o the_o separation_n of_o the_o earth_n from_o the_o water_n that_o cover_v it_o but_o enough_o of_o this_o matter_n it_o be_v time_n to_o come_v to_o the_o consutation_n of_o other_o objection_n and_o answer_n of_o atheist_n chap._n vi_o 1._o the_o five_o answer_n of_o atheist_n say_v that_o there_o have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n a_o matter_n without_o form_n 2._o the_o proof_n that_o

world_n have_v not_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n in_o the_o case_n and_o state_n it_o be_v now_o and_o that_o from_o all_o eternity_n there_o have_v be_v no_o chaos_n but_o that_o there_o have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n a_o matter_n without_o form_n and_o that_o afterward_o out_o of_o this_o matter_n all_o form_n have_v be_v produce_v which_o be_v join_v with_o the_o matter_n have_v frame_v all_o corporal_a creature_n and_o make_v the_o world_n in_o the_o case_n and_o state_n it_o be_v now_o the_o epicure_n follow_v the_o opinion_n of_o their_o master_n democritus_n and_o epicurus_n have_v specify_v and_o determine_v what_o that_o matter_n be_v to_o wit_n the_o atom_n which_o in_o time_n by_o a_o casual_a and_o accidental_a concourse_n have_v make_v up_o the_o world_n in_o the_o state_n it_o be_v now_o the_o reply_n 2._o against_o this_o answer_n i_o say_v that_o if_o there_o have_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n a_o matter_n without_o form_n it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o pretend_a form_n of_o heaven_n the_o star_n and_o the_o element_n as_o well_o as_o the_o form_n of_o plant_n and_o live_a creature_n shall_v have_v be_v after_o the_o matter_n and_o consequent_o will_v have_v have_v a_o beginning_n and_o have_v not_o have_v beginning_n of_o themselves_o see_v that_o nothing_o produce_v itself_o they_o will_v have_v be_v necessary_o produce_v in_o time_n by_o another_o and_o that_o other_o will_v be_v necessary_o either_o the_o the_o matter_n or_o some_o other_o thing_n differ_v from_o the_o matter_n now_o these_o form_n can_v have_v be_v produce_v in_o

have_v produce_v these_o form_n in_o time_n it_o will_v follow_v necessary_o that_o before_o the_o product●●_n of_o the_o same_o a_o time_n either_o finite_a or_o in●●nite_a shall_v have_v pass_v

of_o these_o form_n will_v make_v up_o a_o infinite_a time_n or_o a_o infinite_a duration_n such_o as_o the_o eternity_n of_o the_o matter_n will_v be_v which_o be_v impossible_a neither_o do_v a_o

a_o general_a proposition_n of_o all_o thing_n create_v in_o these_o two_o word_n heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o that_o in_o the_o follow_a verse_n he_o specify_v the_o creature_n as_o god_n create_v they_o every_o day_n against_o that_o i_o say_v that_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n of_o moses_n be_v that_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o first_o day_n which_o be_v the_o beginning_n of_o the_o first_o evening_n and_o the_o beginning_n of_o time_n god_n create_v the_o imperial_a heaven_n which_o shall_v be_v the_o mansion_n and_o dwelling_n place_v of_o god_n and_o the_o bless_a the_o earth_n which_o shall_v be_v the_o residence_n of_o man_n during_o this_o momentary_a life_n and_o the_o water_n which_o do_v then_o cover_v the_o whole_a face_n of_o the_o earth_n the_o chief_a reason_n of_o my_o assertion_n be_v these_o first_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o the_o first_o day_n of_o the_o creation_n as_o well_o as_o the_o five_o other_o be_v divide_v in_o evening_n and_o morning_n and_o that_o the_o evening_n be_v put_v before_o the_o morning_n for_o moses_n say_v and_o the_o evening_n and_o the_o morning_n be_v the_o first_o day_n and_o from_o thence_o it_o be_v that_o the_o jew_n ever_o begin_v their_o natural_a day_n with_o the_o evening_n from_o which_o consideration_n i_o frame_v these_o two_o argument_n that_o which_o be_v part_n of_o the_o part_n be_v also_o part_n of_o the_o whole_a for_o example_n the_o finger_n which_o it_o part_v of_o the_o hand_n be_v also_o part_n of_o the_o arm_n and_o of_o the_o whole_a body_n but_o the_o evening_n be_v part_n of_o the_o day_n which_o be_v also_o part_n of_o time_n therefore_o the_o evening_n be_v also_o part_n of_o time_n and_o so_o when_o the_o evening_n be_v time_n be_v also_o or_o begin_v to_o be_v from_o this_o argument_n i_o frame_v another_o thus_o time_n never_o be_v without_o some_o corporal_a creature_n see_v that_o time_n be_v the_o duration_n of_o corporal_a thing_n or_o of_o their_o motion_n but_o in_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o first_o day_n time_n be_v or_o begin_v to_o be_v for_o the_o evening_n be_v part_n of_o the_o natural_a day_n be_v also_o part_n of_o time_n therefore_o in_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o first_o day_n there_o be_v some_o corporal_a creature_n now_o what_o other_o corporal_a creature_n be_v in_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o first_o day_n but_o the_o heaven_n the_o earth_n and_o the_o water_n whereof_o mention_n be_v make_v in_o these_o two_o first_o verse_n of_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o genesis_n wherefore_o it_o appear_v evident_o that_o in_o these_o word_n in_o the_o beginning_n god_n create_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n these_o two_o word_n in_o the_o beginning_n be_v to_o be_v explain_v thus_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o time_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o first_o day_n in_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o evening_n of_o the_o first_o day_n god_n create_v the_o heaven_n and_o the_o earth_n second_o after_o that_o moses_n have_v say_v in_o the_o beginning_n god_n create_v heaven_n and_o earth_n he_o add_v immediate_o and_o the_o earth_n be_v without_o form_n and_o void_a that_o be_v to_o say_v the_o earth_n that_o

now_o when_o be_v it_o that_o the_o earth_n be_v cover_v with_o water_n without_o appearance_n of_o earth_n without_o beauty_n and_o without_o ornament_n but_o only_o during_o the_o two_o first_o

moreover_o though_o in_o the_o work_n of_o the_o three_o day_n mention_n be_v make_v of_o the_o separation_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o of_o the_o sea_n yet_o there_o be_v no_o mention_n make_v of_o their_o creation_n a_o evident_a proof_n that_o they_o have_v be_v create_v before_o and_o indeed_o moses_n describe_v the_o work_n of_o the_o second_o day_n speak_v in_o this_o manner_n and_o god_n say_v let_v there_o be_v a_o firmament_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o water_n and_o let_v divide_v the_o water_n from_o the_o water_n and_o god_n make_v the_o firmament_n and_o divide_v the_o water_n which_o be_v under_o the_o firmament_n from_o the_o water_n which_o be_v above_o the_o firmament_n now_o how_o will_v god_n have_v divide_v the_o water_n if_o they_o have_v not_o be_v before_o and_o how_o will_v he_o have_v create_v a_o firmament_n between_o the_o water_n if_o there_o have_v be_v no_o water_n be-before_a therefore_o let_v we_o conclude_v that_o in_o these_o two_o first_o verse_n and_o no_o where_o else_o mention_n be_v make_v of_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o imperial_a heaven_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o of_o the_o water_n that_o god_n make_v before_o the_o light_n whereof_o

because_o there_o be_v yet_o no_o light_n as_o appear_v by_o the_o text_n and_o god_n have_v not_o yet_o create_v that_o great_a body_n of_o light_n which_o he_o create_v afterward_o to_o wit_n in_o the_o morning_n of_o the_o same_o first_o day_n and_o whereof_o probable_o in_o the_o four_o day_n he_o make_v the_o sun_n the_o moon_n and_o the_o star_n which_o may_v be_v very_o well_o think_v to_o

now_o privation_n differ_v from_o a_o mere_a negation_n in_o that_o privation_n suppose_v a_o subject_a capable_a to_o receive_v that_o whereof_o it_o be_v privation_n and_o a_o mere_a negation_n

of_o light_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o darkness_n suppose_v some_o body_n susceptible_a of_o light_n which_o as_o well_o as_o darkness_n have_v be_v before_o the_o light_n but_o these_o body_n can_v
