be_v a_o spirit_n invisible_a and_o incorporeal_a quest_n how_o do_v you_o confirm_v this_o by_o reason_n answ_n by_o three_o reason_n first_o because_o he_o be_v most_o simple_a without_o

must_v needs_o be_v invisible_a and_o incorporeal_a to_o explain_v every_o one_o of_o these_o reason_n 1._o first_o that_o god_n be_v most_o simple_a without_o composition_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v out_o of_o saint_n bernard_n he_o be_v so_o simple_a that_o there_o be_v no_o part_n in_o he_o if_o he_o have_v no_o part_n than_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v simple_a and_o without_o composition_n and_o indeed_o of_o what_o shall_v he_o be_v compound_v he_o be_v before_o all_o thing_n therefore_o necessary_o he_o must_v be_v without_o all_o composition_n all_o create_a spirit_n be_v without_o body_n but_o all_o create_a spirit_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o composition_n but_o god_n have_v none_o all_o create_a spirit_n both_o angel_n and_o soul_n of_o man_n have_v a_o kind_n of_o composition_n they_o be_v compound_v of_o act_n and_o power_n but_o god_n have_v neither_o matter_n nor_o form_n nor_o be_v compound_v of_o act_n and_o power_n therefore_o he_o be_v without_o composition_n and_o it_o may_v well_o be_v say_v that_o he_o be_v a_o spirit_n invisible_a and_o incorporeal_a reason_n 2._o the_o second_o reason_n be_v because_o he_o can_v be_v comprehend_v or_o contain_v in_o any_o place_n or_o space_n corporeal_a thing_n be_v comprehend_v as_o the_o body_n that_o be_v in_o this_o place_n may_v be_v circumscribe_v the_o reason_n be_v because_o they_o have_v length_n breadth_n and_o depth_n but_o no_o such_o thing_n be_v in_o god_n i_o say_v all_o spirit_n be_v without_o these_o and_o free_a from_o circumscription_n then_o much_o more_o this_o spirit_n this_o be_v that_o solomon_n speak_v of_o 1._o king_n 8.2_o do_v god_n indeed_o dwell_v among_o man_n behold_v the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n be_v not_o able_a to_o contain_v thou_o so_o jer._n 23.24_o i_o fill_v heaven_n

but_o fill_v every_o place_n therefore_o he_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o spirit_n invisible_a and_o incorporeal_a three_o because_o he_o be_v insensible_a it_o must_v needs_o follow_v he_o be_v a_o spirit_n for_o spirit_n be_v not_o subject_a to_o sense_n so_o you_o hear_v out_o of_o luk._n 24._o feel_v see_v a_o spirit_n have_v not_o flesh_n &_o bone_n as_o you_o see_v i_o have_v the_o reason_n

use_n if_o this_o be_v so_o it_o reprove_v the_o error_n of_o those_o heretic_n call_v the_o anthropomorphite_n that_o teach_v that_o god_n have_v a_o bodily_a shape_n they_o be_v confute_v by_o

internal_a in_o the_o mind_n by_o thought_n or_o external_a by_o picture_n there_o can_v be_v any_o representation_n of_o god_n for_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n and_o a_o spirit_n can_v be_v represent_v

to_o explain_v this_o he_o be_v life_n because_o he_o understand_v will_v and_o work_v reas_n 1._o all_o these_o be_v action_n which_o none_o can_v do_v but_o such_o as_o have_v life_n therefore_o

undertake_v to_o do_v this_o by_o search_v into_o it_o we_o may_v be_v both_o mad_a and_o lose_v our_o wit_n therefore_o we_o say_v the_o father_n be_v of_o himself_o not_o from_o another_o the_o son_n be_v of_o the_o father_n alone_o by_o way_n of_o beget_v the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o they_o both_o by_o way_n of_o proceed_v and_o if_o this_o seem_v strange_a say_v nazianzen_n take_v a_o
