the_o high_a by_o the_o dignity_n of_o his_o nature_n 1._o for_o thing_n the_o more_o pure_a and_o more_o abstract_n from_o matter_n be_v ever_o the_o more_o noble_a and_o high_a this_o we_o see_v first_o in_o corporal_a thing_n water_n be_v more_o high_a than_o earth_n because_o more_o pure_a and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n air_n be_v high_a than_o water_n because_o more_o pure_a and_o the_o fire_n then_o the_o air_n and_o heaven_n then_o fire_n again_o we_o see_v it_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n the_o understanding_n be_v high_a than_o sense_n because_o the_o sense_n have_v a_o corporal_a organ_n which_o the_o understanding_n need_v not_o and_o the_o angelicast_a understanding_n be_v high_a than_o man_n because_o a_o man_n have_v need_v of_o the_o office_n of_o imagination_n and_o fantasy_n which_o a_o angel_n need_v not_o and_o among_o the_o angel_n they_o be_v high_a who_o understand_v most_o thing_n by_o few_o species_n god_n therefore_o who_o only_o be_v pure_a act_n and_o want_v nothing_o without_o himself_o neither_o organ_n nor_o imagination_n nor_o species_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o the_o presence_n of_o any_o object_n without_o himself_o but_o his_o own_o essence_n

therefore_o i_o say_v be_v his_o nature_n the_o most_o transcendent_a high_a and_o sublime_a neither_o can_v it_o by_o any_o mean_n be_v equal_v he_o than_o which_o say_v i_o will_v be_v like_o the_o
