you_o the_o same_o by_o probable_a reason_n orthodoxus_n i_o prove_v it_o thus_o ente_fw-la 1._o the_o angel_n they_o be_v either_o create_v or_o uncreated_a but_o not_o uncreated_a therefore_o create_v they_o can_v possible_o be_v uncreated_a substance_n for_o then_o they_o shall_v also_o be_v infinite_a howbeit_o angel_n they_o be_v finite_a creature_n for_o their_o action_n be_v finite_a

uncreated_a essence_n at_o all_o and_o therefore_o angel_n they_o be_v not_o uncreated_a substance_n 2_o second_o i_o prove_v it_o thus_o if_o angel_n be_v uncreated_a then_o be_v they_o eternal_a but_o not_o eternal_a therefore_o not_o uncreated_a that_o they_o be_v not_o eternal_a it_o be_v very_o apparent_a for_o then_o shall_v they_o be_v such_o as_o have_v neither_o beginning_n nor_o end_n
