return_v unto_o dust_n job_n 34._o v_o 13_o 14._o so_o if_o god_n shall_v take_v his_o spirit_n out_o of_o the_o world_n every_o live_a thing_n will_v die_v 2_o by_o reason_n and_o sense_n it_o be_v

that_o be_v matter_n and_o a_o quicken_a spirit_n and_o just_a so_o in_o zachary_n 12._o v_o 1._o let_v we_o therefore_o hereafter_o beware_v so_o great_a a_o absurdity_n that_o i_o may_v not_o say_v blasphemy_n as_o to_o put_v the_o person_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n among_o the_o creature_n now_o there_o may_v three_o reason_n of_o this_o thing_n be_v give_v why_o moses_n call_v that_o quicken_a spirit_n produce_v in_o the_o beginning_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n namely_o that_o it_o be_v take_v in_o that_o sense_n wherein_o elsewhere_a it_o be_v speak_v of_o ●he_n mountain_n of_o god_n

because_o it_o be_v produce_v immediate_o by_o god_n not_o as_o now_o it_o be_v when_o that_o spirit_n pass_v from_o one_o subject_n to_o another_o 3_o because_o it_o be_v a_o peculiar_a act_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o the_o analogy_n of_o our_o faith_n teach_v we_o to_o believe_v that_o the_o production_n of_o the_o matter_n out_o of_o nothing_o be_v a_o work_n of_o god_n omnipotency_n and_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o father_n that_o the_o production_n of_o light_n by_o which_o the_o world_n receive_v splendour_n and_o order_n be_v a_o work_n of_o wisdom_n attribute_v to_o the_o son_n john_n 1._o v_o 3_o 4._o and_o last_o that_o the_o virtue_n infuse_v into_o the_o creature_n be_v a_o work_n of_o his_o goodness_n which_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n psal._n

his_o absolute_a power_n of_o his_o word_n and_o of_o his_o spirit_n also_o we_o must_v note_v this_o that_o in_o both_o those_o place_n the_o holy_a ghost_n with_o his_o work_n be_v place_v in_o the_o midst_n as_o also_o in_o isaiah_n 40._o v_o 13._o because_o he_o be_v the_o spirit_n the_o love_n and_o the_o mutual_a bond_n of_o both_o but_o this_o we_o speak_v after_o the_o manner_n of_o

of_o the_o strength_n artifice_n and_o order_n of_o this_o nature_n must_v be_v more_o thorough_o search_v that_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v here_o in_o few_o word_n hint_v out_o of_o moses_n

the_o first_o chapter_n we_o have_v say_v that_o it_o may_v be_v gather_v out_o of_o those_o word_n of_o moses_n in_o the_o beginning_n god_n create_v the_o heaven_n that_o the_o invisible_a world_n be_v the_o beginning_n of_o the_o work_n of_o god_n that_o be_v the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n with_o the_o angel_n now_o that_o by_o this_o heaven_n be_v to_o be_v understand_v the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n and_o the_o invisible_a or_o angelical_a world_n appear_v plain_a i._o out_o of_o scripture_n which_o 1_o mention_n the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n every_o where_o but_o their_o production_n no_o where_o unless_o it_o be_v here_o 2_o moses_n testify_v that_o the_o invisible_a heaven_n be_v stretch_v out_o the_o second_o day_n and_o the_o four_o day_n adorn_v with_o star_n therefore_o another_o heaven_n must_v necessary_o be_v understand_v in_o this_o place_n namely_o a_o heaven_n that_o be_v finish_v in_o the_o same_o moment_n for_o that_o the_o particle_n autem_fw-la infer_v he_o

therefore_o as_o the_o most_o compound_a creature_n man_n be_v last_o produce_v so_o the_o most_o simple_a and_o immaterial_a creature_n heaven_n and_o the_o angel_n first_o of_o all_o iii_o and_o what_o will_v we_o have_v more_o god_n himself_o testify_v express_o that_o when_o he_o make_v the_o earth_n the_o angel_n stand_v by_o he_o as_o spectator_n for_o so_o say_v he_o to_o job_n where_o
