absolute_a creative_a art_n subsist_v by_o itself_o that_o the_o art_n may_v be_v the_o workman_n and_o the_o mastery_n the_o master_n this_o art_n have_v in_o its_o essence_n necessary_o

with_o some_o example_n to_o conceive_v the_o creation_n of_o our_o mind_n in_o this_o our_o body_n id._n thou_o have_v already_o hear_v of_o this_o matter_n but_o because_o variety_n of_o example_n make_v that_o which_o in_o itself_o be_v unexpressible_a somewhat_o more_o clear_a i_o will_v obey_v thou_o behold_v thou_o know_v that_o our_o mind_n be_v a_o certain_a power_n have_v the_o image_n of_o that_o divine_a be_v we_o speak_v of_o therefore_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v most_o true_o in_o the_o divine_a art_n be_v true_o in_o our_o mind_n as_o the_o image_n thereof_o therefore_o our_o mind_n be_v create_v by_o that_o create_a art_n as_o if_o that_o art_n will_v create_v itself_o and_o because_o that_o infinite_a art_n be_v un-multiplyable_a it_o behoove_v that_o there_o arise_v a_o

image_n how_o perfect_a soever_o if_o it_o can_v become_v more_o and_o more_o perfect_a and_o conformable_a to_o the_o sampler_n be_v never_o so_o perfect_a as_o any_o imperfect_a image_n which_o have_v power_n to_o conform_v itself_o more_o and_o more_o without_o limitation_n to_o the_o unapproachable_a sampler_n for_o in_o this_o the_o image_n after_o the_o best_a manner_n it_o may_v do_v imitate_v infinity_n as_o if_o a_o painter_n shall_v make_v two_o picture_n of_o himself_o whereof_o the_o one_o be_v dead_a shall_v seem_v actual_o more_o like_o he_o but_o the_o other_o shall_v be_v alive_a and_o though_o for_o the_o present_a less_o like_a yet_o such_o a_o one_o as_o be_v by_o its_o object_n stir_v up_o to_o motion_n can_v always_o make_v itself_o more_o and_o more_o conformable_a to_o the_o sampler_n no_o man_n will_v doubt_v that_o this_o second_o picture_n be_v more_o perfect_a and_o more_o express_v the_o art_n of_o the_o painter_n so_o every_o mind_n yea_o even_a we_o though_o create_v beneath_o all_o other_o have_v from_o god_n that_o as_o well_o as_o it_o can_v it_o be_v a_o perfect_a and_o live_a image_n of_o the_o infinite_a art_n therefore_o it_o be_v three_o and_o one_o have_v power_n wisdom_n and_o the_o connexion_n of_o both_o after_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o as_o a_o perfect_a image_n of_o the_o art_n be_v stir_v up_o it_o can_v more_o and_o more_o conform_v its_o self_n to_o its_o sampler_n so_o that_o our_o mind_n though_o in_o the_o begin_n of_o its_o creation_n it_o have_v no_o actual_a resplendence_n of_o the_o create_a art_n in_o trinity_n and_o unity_n yet_o it_o have_v that_o concreated_a power_n that_o be_v stir_v up_o it_o can_v make_v itself_o more_o and_o more_o conformable_a to_o the_o actuality_n of_o the_o divine_a art_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o unity_n of_o its_o essence_n be_v power_n wisdom_n and_o will_v and_o inits_a essence_n do_v coinside_o the_o master_n and_o the_o mastery_n as_o in_o a_o live_a image_n ot_fw-mi the_o infinite_a art_n which_o be_v stir_v up_o can_v all_o way_n without_o end_n make_v itself_o more_o and_o more_o conformable_a to_o the_o divine_a actuality_n the_o

thou_o say_v right_a and_o it_o please_v i_o well_o to_o have_v hear_v this_o word_n from_o thou_o for_o as_o all_o knowledge_n of_o the_o taste_n of_o that_o thing_n which_o be_v never_o taste_v be_v empty_a and_o barren_a until_o the_o sense_n of_o taste_v do_v reach_v it_o so_o likewise_o of_o this_o wisdom_n which_o no_o man_n taste_v by_o hearsay_n but_o he_o only_o taste_v which_o receive_v it_o in_o his_o internal_a taste_n and_o he_o bear_v witness_v not_o of_o those_o thing_n he_o have_v hear_v but_o which_o he_o have_v experimental_o taste_v in_o himself_o to_o know_v the_o many_o description_n of_o love_n which_o the_o saint_n have_v leave_v unto_o we_o without_o the_o taste_n of_o love_n be_v but_o a_o certain_a emptiness_n wherefore_o for_o he_o that_o seek_v eternal_a

he_o then_o make_v it_o his_o own_o as_o he_o that_o have_v find_v a_o field_n wherein_o there_o be_v a_o great_a treasure_n can_v rejoice_v in_o or_o enjoy_v that_o treasure_n be_v in_o another_o

do_v by_o his_o omnipotence_n necessitate_v that_o to_o be_v which_o be_v nothing_o for_o god_n give_v it_o such_o a_o be_v that_o it_o be_v this_o as_o heaven_n for_o example_n and_o nothing_o else_o

for_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n that_o unite_v and_o knit_v together_o all_o thing_n in_o the_o univers_a and_o in_o we_o as_o therefore_o nothing_o beget_v unity_n but_o it_o be_v the_o first_o
