A87711	Ophthalmos aplois or the single eye, entituled the vision of God wherein is infolded the mistery of divine presence, so to be in one place finitely in apperance, as yet in every place no lesse present, and whilst Hee is here, Hee is universally every where infinitely himselfe. Penned by that learned Dr. Cusanus, and published for the good of the saints. By Giles Randall.; De visione Dei. English.

which_o be_v absolute_a infinity_n that_o actual_a infinitie_o be_v unity_n in_o which_o the_o figure_n be_v verity_n chap._n 15._o regard_v thy_o servant_n in_o mercy_n lord_n though_o he_o be_v a_o

in_o the_o infinite_a be_v the_o infinite_a be_v itself_o wherefore_o the_o absolute_a may_v be_v and_o the_o absolute_a be_v in_o act_n in_o thou_o my_o god_n be_v nothing_o but_o thou_o my_o infinite_a god_n thou_o my_o god_n be_v all_o may_v be_v the_o may_v be_v of_o the_o matter_n be_v material_a and_o so_o contract_v and_o not_o absolute_a so_o the_o sensible_a and_o rational_a may_v be_v be_v contract_v but_o to_o be_v altogether_o uncontract_v coincide_n with_o simple_o absolute_a that_o be_v infinite_a when_o therefore_o thou_o my_o god_n appear_v unto_o i_o as_o matter_n

which_o be_v the_o glass_n and_o judge_v the_o form_n which_o he_o see_v in_o that_o glass_n to_o be_v the_o figure_n of_o his_o form_n because_o it_o be_v so_o in_o material_a pollist_n glass_n though_o the_o contrary_a thereof_o be_v true_a because_o that_o which_o he_o see_v in_o the_o glass_n of_o eternity_n be_v not_o the_o figure_n but_o the_o truth_n of_o that_o which_o himself_o the_o

thou_o therefore_o o_o my_o god_n art_n the_o shadow_n but_o so_o that_o thou_o be_v the_o truth_n also_o thou_o be_v the_o image_n of_o i_o and_o of_o every_o thing_n but_o so_o that_o thou_o be_v the_o exemplar_n and_o pattern_n also_o o_o lord_n god_n the_o enlightner_n of_o heart_n my_o face_n be_v a_o true_a face_n because_o thou_o that_o be_v the_o truth_n have_v give_v it_o i_o my_o face_n be_v also_o a_o image_n because_o it_o be_v not_o the_o truth_n itself_o but_o the_o image_n of_o the_o absolute_a truth_n therefore_o i_o do_v complicate_v and_o enfold_v in_o my_o

in_o so_o much_o it_o it_o true_a and_o then_o thou_o show_v i_o o_o lord_n how_o according_a to_o the_o mutation_n of_o my_o face_n thy_o face_n be_v both_o change_v and_o unchanged_a change_v because_o it_o forsake_v not_o the_o truth_n of_o my_o face_n unchanged_a because_o it_o follow_v not_o the_o change_n of_o the_o image_n wherefore_o as_o thy_o face_n forsake_v not_o the_o truth_n of_o my_o face_n so_o it_o follow_v not_o the_o change_n of_o a_o alterable_a image_n for_o absolute_a truth_n be_v unalterability_n the_o truth_n of_o my_o face_n be_v mutable_a because_o it_o be_v

the_o truth_n of_o my_o face_n for_o if_o it_o shall_v forsake_v it_o my_o face_n which_o be_v mutable_a truth_n can_v not_o subsist_v so_o do_v thou_o seem_v to_o i_o o_o god_n because_o of_o thy_o

the_o vision_n of_o god_n that_o the_o perfection_n of_o appearance_n be_v verify_v of_o the_o most_o perfect_a god._n chapter_n i._n here_o in_o the_o first_o place_n we_o must_v suppose_v that_o

consider_v how_o that_o abstract_a sight_n in_o his_o contract_a be_v namely_o as_o they_o that_o see_v do_v see_v by_o that_o sight_n be_v contract_v unto_o time_n to_o the_o several_a part_n of_o

as_o much_o draw_v away_o free_v acquit_v and_o absolve_v from_o those_o condition_n then_o i_o very_o well_o understand_v that_o it_o be_v not_o of_o the_o essence_n of_o sight_n to_o respect_n or_o look_v upon_o one_o object_n more_o than_o another_o although_o it_o inseparable_a accompany_v sight_n in_o the_o contract_a be_v thereof_o that_o whilst_o it_o look_v upon_o one_o thing_n it_o can_v

approach_n or_o come_v near_o the_o height_n of_o the_o excellency_n of_o absolute_a vision_n or_o sight_n and_o consequent_o it_o be_v no_o whit_n to_o be_v doubt_v but_o that_o whatsoever_o appear_v
