second_o perfectionis_fw-la affirmationis_fw-la when_o what_o be_v most_o excellent_a in_o thing_n create_v we_o apply_v to_o god_n by_o way_n of_o analogy_n and_o resemblance_n so_o we_o call_v he_o just_a merciful_a high_a glorious_a three_o of_o excellence_n or_o super-heminence_a as_o this_o here_o imply_v a_o title_n therefore_o suitable_a to_o his_o nature_n for_o to_o seek_v he_o among_o the_o high_a thing_n we_o know_v be_v ridiculous_a to_o pin_n or_o determine_v he_o there_o impious_a ultra_fw-la ultra_fw-la quaerendus_fw-la still_o above_o and_o beyond_o all_o we_o must_v

man_n regal_a or_o sacerdotal_a as_o hoth_n be_v refer_v to_o he_o so_o with_o this_o title_n annex_v gen._n 14_o melchizedek_n king_n of_o salem_n and_o priest_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n it_o
