this_o therefore_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o god_n will_v have_v speculative_a question_n which_o nothing_o conduce_v to_o our_o salvation_n and_o edification_n and_o why_o the_o holy_a ghost_n have_v

determine_n of_o controversy_n of_o this_o nature_n as_o also_o with_o what_o reason_n from_o this_o first_o axiom_n the_o objection_n of_o the_o first_o and_o second_o class_n be_v easy_o answer_v as_o also_o any_o other_o authority_n of_o sacred_a scripture_n produce_v against_o the_o pythagorean_n and_o copernican_n systeme_n so_o long_o as_o by_o other_o proof_n it_o be_v true_a and_o the_o

way_n of_o speak_v may_v be_v thus_o reconcile_v and_o expound_v namely_o oftentimes_o a_o agent_n be_v common_o and_o not_o improper_o say_v to_o move_v though_o it_o have_v no_o motion_n not_o because_o it_o do_v indeed_o move_v but_o by_o extrinsic_a denomination_n because_o receive_v its_o influence_n and_o action_n at_o the_o motion_n of_o the_o subject_a the_o form_n and_o quality_n

like_a manner_n he_o hold_v every_o part_n to_o the_o fire_n successive_o till_o his_o whole_a body_n be_v warm_v it_o be_v clear_a that_o although_o the_o fire_n do_v not_o move_v yet_o at_o the_o
