theology_n will_v be_v all_o of_o these_o and_o by_o consequence_n none_o of_o they_o which_o be_v absurd_a to_o say_v but_o to_o come_v up_o close_o to_o the_o point_n i_o say_v second_o that_o it_o may_v be_v more_o full_o answer_v by_o this_o distinction_n of_o scientia_fw-la scientia_fw-la may_v be_v take_v three_o way_n first_o for_o the_o knowledge_n of_o a_o catholical_a axiom_n or_o a_o immediate_a proposition_n as_o other_o logician_n call_v it_o whatsoever_o the_o condition_n of_o that_o knowledge_n be_v and_o according_a to_o this_o acception_n the_o resolution_n of_o this_o question_n follow_v from_o the_o former_a affirmative_a because_o there_o i_o determine_v that_o the_o precept_n in_o this_o doctrine_n be_v such_o second_o for_o the_o certain_a knowledge_n of_o any_o axiom_n whatsoever_o the_o condition_n of_o it_o be_v which_o be_v the_o most_o common_a signification_n of_o scire_fw-la in_o common_a phrase_n of_o speech_n and_o thus_o also_o the_o resolution_n of_o the_o question_n be_v affirmative_a because_o the_o certainty_n of_o faith_n by_o which_o we_o assent_n to_o divine_a truth_n upon_o a_o divine_a testimony_n be_v as_o great_a as_o of_o any_o demonstrative_a syllogysme_n and_o for_o this_o reason_n say_v gregory_n de_fw-fr valentia_n the_o nobility_n of_o this_o doctrine_n deserve_v the_o name_n of_o a_o science_n and_o can_v well_o be_v style_v by_o any_o other_o three_o for_o the_o evident_a knowledge_n of_o a_o conclusion_n by_o a_o convince_a reason_n or_o demonstration_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n it_o seem_v to_o be_v use_v by_o aristotle_n and_o after_o he_o the_o schoolman_n and_o according_a to_o this_o strict_a acception_n the_o question_n be_v more_o doubtful_a for_o this_o include_v that_o which_o be_v most_o restrain_v in_o both_o the_o former_a that_o the_o object_n must_v be_v a_o catholical_a axiom_n as_o the_o first_o require_v and_o that_o the_o assent_n must_v be_v certain_a as_o the_o second_o exact_v superad_n three_o qualification_n first_o that_o the_o object_n must_v be_v a_o conclusion_n second_o that_o the_o assent_n must_v be_v evident_a three_o that_o the_o motive_n must_v be_v a_o eonvince_a reason_n or_o demonstration_n as_o it_o be_v necessitate_v the_o understanding_n to_o assent_v the_o first_o and_o last_o addition_n i_o pass_v over_o as_o impertinent_a because_o few_o precept_n of_o any_o art_n be_v such_o conclusion_n for_o neither_o definition_n nor_o distribution_n which_o make_v the_o great_a part_n be_v so_o demonstrate_v be_v most_o prime_a and_o immediate_a and_o therefore_o can_v be_v prove_v by_o any_o that_o be_v priora_fw-la or_o magis_fw-la immediata_fw-la &_o pierce_v than_o they_o be_v only_o it_o be_v say_v that_o passion_n may_v be_v so_o demonstrate_v of_o their_o proper_a subject_n which_o may_v well_o be_v call_v in_o question_n by_o the_o same_o reason_n that_o i_o allege_v for_o the_o other_o second_o few_o art_n have_v such_o precept_n except_o only_o the_o mathematics_n as_o be_v observe_v when_o it_o be_v that_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d be_v grow_v almost_o into_o a_o proverb_n three_o if_o they_o be_v necessary_a divinity_n be_v in_o the_o like_a condition_n with_o the_o rest_n for_o the_o precept_n of_o the_o art_n though_o not_o for_o other_o accessary_a we_o will_v therefore_o inquire_v of_o the_o second_o condition_n and_o propound_v the_o question_n a_o new_a whether_o our_o knowledge_n of_o theological_a truth_n be_v evident_a or_o not_o to_o answer_v it_o then_o with_o as_o much_o circumspection_n of_o judgement_n and_o yet_o with_o as_o little_a circumstance_n of_o word_n as_o may_v be_v first_o i_o lay_v this_o foundation_n that_o evidence_n be_v a_o metaphorical_a speech_n from_o the_o eye_n to_o the_o understanding_n and_o a_o relative_a thing_n import_v a_o fair_a proportion_n of_o the_o object_n to_o the_o faculty_n in_o both_o so_o that_o there_o be_v a_o concurrence_n of_o three_o thing_n to_o it_o first_o the_o aptitude_n of_o the_o object_n to_o be_v discern_v second_o the_o ability_n of_o the_o faculty_n to_o discern_v three_o the_o disposition_n of_o the_o medium_n fit_a for_o conveyance_n which_o be_v distinct_a in_o the_o vision_n but_o include_v in_o the_o two_o former_a in_o the_o action_n of_o the_o understanding_n second_o i_o distinguish_v the_o three_o principal_a term_n of_o the_o question_n first_o the_o knowledge_n of_o which_o must_v be_v consider_v according_a to_o his_o different_a condition_n either_o in_o natura_fw-la integra_fw-la or_o corrupta_fw-la for_o many_o thing_n he_o do_v know_v then_o scientifical_o which_o now_o he_o do_v so_o much_o as_o opinio_fw-la native_o and_o again_o as_o corrupt_v he_o be_v either_o immerse_v in_o it_o or_o elevate_v by_o the_o infusion_n of_o grace_n second_o the_o precept_n of_o divinity_n be_v in_o a_o double_a difference_n some_o are_z aeternijuris_fw-la some_o are_z liberae_fw-la voluntatis_fw-la that_o i_o may_v speak_v so_o for_o distinction_n sake_n for_o instance_n in_o the_o state_n of_o innocency_n the_o promise_n of_o another_o life_n to_o which_o adam_n shall_v have_v be_v exalt_v upon_o observance_n of_o the_o covenant_n be_v liberae_fw-la voluntatis_fw-la as_o the_o most_o agree_v and_o the_o precept_n of_o that_o i_o call_v so_o though_o it_o also_o be_v indeed_o aeternae_fw-la veritatis_fw-la as_o all_o rule_n of_o a_o art_n shall_v three_o evidence_n be_v either_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o simple_a term_n the_o thing_n themselves_o which_o by_o reason_n of_o more_o or_o less_o abstraction_n or_o such_o like_a circumstance_n may_v be_v evident_a or_o obscure_a more_o or_o less_o or_o second_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o connexion_n and_o cohaesion_n of_o they_o one_o with_o another_o and_o now_o three_o i_o resolve_v the_o question_n in_o these_o assertion_n first_o all_o theological_a precept_n areevident_a in_o themselves_o though_o not_o to_o we_o as_o thomas_n distinguish_v of_o proposition_n that_o be_v per_fw-la se_fw-la nota_fw-la secundum_fw-la se_fw-la though_o not_o quoad_fw-la nos_fw-la of_o which_o this_o he_o give_v as_o one_o deus_fw-la est_fw-la the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o term_n be_v essential_a one_o to_o another_o as_o they_o must_v be_v in_o all_o catholic_n axiom_n second_o man_n in_o his_o integrity_n have_v proper_a science_n of_o all_o those_o precept_n which_o i_o call_v juris_fw-la aeterni_fw-la though_o of_o the_o other_o as_o a_o better_a state_n in_o another_o life_n he_o have_v not_o without_o a_o double_a help_n first_o ex_fw-la parte_fw-la objecti_fw-la which_o be_v divine_a revelation_n to_o convey_v it_o second_o ex_fw-la parte_fw-la facultatis_fw-la which_o be_v a_o oration_n of_o grace_n strengthen_v and_o comfort_v it_o the_o reason_n of_o the_o first_o part_n of_o this_o assertion_n that_o man_n have_v science_n of_o those_o which_o be_v juris_fw-la aeterni_fw-la be_v because_o they_o be_v evident_a of_o themselves_o and_o there_o be_v no_o impediment_n of_o his_o part_n his_o faculty_n be_v proportionable_a to_o they_o of_o the_o second_o that_o the_o other_o he_o can_v not_o scire_fw-la of_o himself_o because_o they_o depend_v on_o the_o free_a liberal_a grace_n of_o god_n which_o he_o can_v not_o penetrate_v till_o it_o please_v he_o to_o signify_v his_o good_a pleasure_n by_o revelation_n and_o withal_o be_v supernatural_a to_o he_o and_o above_o his_o sphere_n the_o reason_n of_o the_o three_o part_n that_o those_o help_v suppose_v he_o can_v be_v because_o than_o nothing_o be_v deficient_a either_o in_o object_n or_o faculty_n as_o i_o say_v of_o the_o first_o three_o assertion_n man_n fall_v can_v know_v neither_o the_o one_o kind_n nor_o other_o scientifical_o and_o save_o without_o revelation_n of_o the_o object_n and_o elevation_n of_o the_o faculty_n and_o then_o he_o may_v evident_o so_o that_o his_o knowledge_n may_v in_o truth_n and_o propriety_n be_v call_v science_n for_o the_o reason_n hitherto_o intimate_v i_o confess_v i_o seem_v in_o this_o to_o strive_v against_o the_o stream_n of_o the_o schoolman_n who_o seem_v to_o make_v evidence_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o faith_n out_o of_o the_o apostle_n who_o say_v faith_n be_v of_o thing_n that_o be_v not_o see_v and_o make_v faith_n and_o science_n opposite_a habit_n but_o they_o also_o may_v admit_v a_o good_a interpretation_n for_o i_o think_v they_o mean_v of_o the_o condition_n of_o some_o thing_n not_o the_o connexion_n of_o the_o term_n in_o the_o precept_n or_o of_o man_n consider_v with_o natural_a reason_n only_o to_o which_o i_o grant_v they_o be_v not_o evident_a but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o doubt_n of_o this_o last_o to_o which_o i_o have_v without_o any_o necessity_n condescend_v i_o think_v the_o former_a answer_n may_v suffice_v and_o so_o i_o will_v pass_v from_o this_o add_v but_o this_o one_o observation_n that_o when_o a_o art_n or_o doctrine_n be_v call_v scientia_fw-la there_o be_v a_o synecdoche_n in_o the_o word_n for_o proper_o the_o knowledge_n of_o one_o
