the_o knowledge_n we_o have_v of_o eternal_a truth_n truth_n be_v uncreated_a immutable_a immense_a eternal_a above_o all_o thing_n it_o be_v true_a by_o itself_o it_o derive_v its_o perfection_n from_o nothing_o it_o make_v creature_n more_o perfect_a and_o all_o spirit_n natural_o endeavour_v to_o know_v it_o nothing_o but_o god_n can_v have_v all_o those_o perfection_n therefore_o truth_n be_v god_n we_o see_v some_o of_o those_o immutable_a eternal_a truth_n therefore_o we_o see_v god_n these_o be_v st._n augustine_n reason_n we_o differ_v a_o little_a from_o they_o and_o we_o be_v unwilling_a to_o use_v the_o authority_n of_o so_o great_a a_o man_n unjust_o to_o second_v our_o sentiment_n we_o believe_v that_o truth_n even_o those_o that_o be_v eternal_a as_o that_o twice_o two_o be_v four_o be_v not_o so_o much_o as_o absolute_a being_n so_o far_o be_v we_o from_o believe_v that_o they_o be_v in_o god_n for_o it_o be_v visible_a that_o that_o truth_n only_o consist_v in_o a_o relation_n of_o equality_n which_o be_v between_o twice_o two_o and_o four_n therefore_o we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o we_o see_v god_n in_o see_v truth_n as_o st._n austin_n say_v but_o in_o see_v the_o idea_n of_o those_o truth_n for_o idea_n be_v real_a but_o the_o equality_n between_o the_o idea_n which_o be_v truth_n have_v no_o reality_n when_o for_o example_n man_n say_v that_o the_o cloth_n they_o measure_v contain_v three_o yard_n the_o cloth_n and_o the_o yard_n be_v real_a but_o the_o equality_n between_o three_o yard_n and_o the_o cloth_n be_v not_o a_o real_a be_v it_o be_v only_o a_o relation_n that_o be_v between_o the_o three_o yard_n and_o the_o cloth_n when_o we_o say_v that_o twice_o two_o be_v four_n the_o idea_n of_o the_o number_n be_v real_a but_o the_o equality_n there_o be_v between_o they_o be_v only_o a_o relation_n thus_o according_a to_o our_o sentiment_n we_o see_v god_n when_o we_o see_v eternal_a truth_n not_o that_o those_o eternal_a truth_n be_v god_n but_o because_o the_o idea_n on_o which_o those_o truth_n depend_v be_v in_o god_n perhaps_o st._n austin_n understand_v it_o so_o we_o also_o believe_v that_o we_o know_v in_o god_n changeable_n and_o corrubtible_a thing_n although_o st._n austin_n only_o speak_v of_o immutable_a and_o incorruptible_a thing_n because_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a for_o that_o to_o place_v

but_o though_o i_o say_v we_o see_v in_o god_n the_o thing_n that_o be_v material_a and_o sensible_a it_o must_v be_v observe_v that_o i_o do_v not_o say_v we_o have_v a_o sensation_n of_o they_o in_o

sensible_a sensation_n and_o pure_a idea_n be_v in_o our_o perception_n sensation_n be_v a_o modification_n of_o our_o soul_n and_o it_o be_v god_n that_o cause_n it_o in_o we_o and_o he_o may_v

sensation_n it_o be_v in_o god_n we_o see_v it_o because_o it_o be_v his_o pleasure_n to_o discover_v it_o to_o we_o and_o god_n join_v sensation_n to_o the_o idea_n when_o object_n be_v present_a to_o the_o end_n that_o we_o may_v believe_v they_o as_o they_o be_v and_o that_o we_o may_v have_v such_o sensation_n and_o passion_n as_o we_o ought_v to_o have_v in_o relation_n to_o they_o last_o we_o believe_v that_o all_o spirit_n see_v the_o eternal_a law_n as_o well_o as_o other_o thing_n in_o god_n but_o with_o some_o difference_n they_o know_v the_o eternal_a order_n and_o eternal_a

with_o the_o word_n or_o wisdom_n of_o god_n which_o direct_v they_o as_o we_o have_v show_v but_o it_o be_v by_o the_o impression_n they_o receive_v continual_o from_o the_o will_n of_o god_n which_o

mean_v the_o idea_n we_o have_v of_o extension_n be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v we_o know_v all_o the_o propriety_n which_o extension_n be_v capable_a of_o and_o we_o can_v never_o desire_v to_o have_v
