of_o god_n be_v cause_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o by_o good_a right_n must_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o all_o thing_n which_o subsist_v for_o if_o it_o have_v have_v any_o cause_n then_o must_v that_o

which_o they_o pretend_v to_o overthrow_v the_o creation_n and_o frame_v of_o the_o world_n these_o peripatericall_a reason_n of_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o world_n be_v produce_v first_o they_o

not_o be_v able_a to_o get_v itself_o a_o new_a place_n they_o conclude_v that_o it_o can_v not_o be_v create_v at_o any_o time_n they_o consider_v also_o that_o all_o thing_n which_o be_v move_v

that_o nothing_o which_o shall_v be_v corrupt_v may_v precede_v the_o world_n thereupon_o they_o ground_n that_o it_o be_v eternal_a without_o a_o beginning_n proceed_v far_o they_o suppose_v that_o

there_o be_v the_o artificer_n who_o presuppose_v the_o nature_n to_o wit_n the_o stuff_n fashion_n and_o all_o the_o compound_n there_o be_v the_o natural_a agent_n which_o require_v beforehand_o the_o effect_n of_o god_n to_o wit_n the_o subject_n or_o the_o matter_n and_o there_o be_v god_n the_o sovereign_a worker_n who_o have_v no_o need_n of_o any_o other_o thing_n because_o he_o be_v

the_o mason_n stone_n and_o cement_n therefore_o the_o natural_a agent_n do_v also_o require_v the_o compound_n philosopher_n answer_v to_o the_o argument_n of_o philosopher_n and_o likewise_o the_o

that_o art_n be_v distinguish_v from_o nature_n and_o that_o natural_a thing_n appertain_v to_o one_o kind_n of_o doctrine_n and_o the_o eternal_a and_o free-from-motion_n belong_v to_o another_o for_o the_o artificer_n give_v the_o artificial_a form_n and_o require_v the_o natural_a and_o the_o natural_a agent_n fashion_v the_o substantial_a and_o require_v the_o material_a which_o be_v the_o work_n of_o the_o sovereign_n but_o if_o god_n shall_v require_v any_o thing_n beforehand_o to_o work_v with_o he_o shall_v also_o require_v a_o former_a god_n which_o must_v have_v produce_v it_o and_o by_o that_o reason_n there_o shall_v be_v i_o wot_v not_o what_o former_a thing_n before_o the_o first_o what_o be_v then_o these_o show_v of_o argument_n they_o conclude_v and_o accord_v bad_o when_o because_o of_o the_o passion_n of_o a_o new_a place_n which_o demand_v that_o which_o be_v new_o perform_v they_o will_v thereby_o exclude_v the_o world_n from_o generation_n because_o it_o
