knowledge_n must_v needs_o be_v positive_a because_o it_o be_v only_o of_o a_o positive_a and_o from_o a_o positive_a thing_n last_o since_o the_o foundation_n of_o every_o syllogism_n be_v place_v

hence_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o it_o be_v compose_v with_o a_o doubt_n of_o the_o contrary_n yea_o the_o conclusion_n or_o a_o syllogism_n for_o the_o most_o part_n may_v deny_v particular_o

this_o be_v able_a as_o often_o as_o it_o seem_v needful_a for_o itself_o to_o shake_v off_o the_o ash_n neither_o have_v it_o need_v of_o mood_n and_o syllogistical_a form_n to_o this_o end_n yea_o

of_o syllogism_n do_v constrain_v of_o necessity_n for_o otherwise_o from_o a_o lie_n do_v necessary_o follow_v that_o which_o be_v false_a in_o true_a understanding_n and_o true_a knowledge_n from_o

prove_v therefore_o even_o as_o in_o a_o lie_n truth_n and_o the_o knowledge_n thereof_o be_v not_o contain_v or_o do_v lie_v hide_v so_o it_o follow_v that_o in_o the_o premise_n the_o know_v of_o the_o conclusion_n be_v not_o necessary_o include_v for_o either_o it_o be_v false_a that_o no_o lie_a tree_n do_v make_v the_o good_a fruit_n of_o truth_n or_o it_o be_v false_a that_o of_o false_a

he_o already_o before_o distinct_o know_v that_o which_o he_o endeavour_v to_o have_v grant_v he_o by_o the_o conclusion_n to_o wit_n he_o know_v the_o term_n the_o mean_a and_o the_o mood_n for_o neither_o do_v any_o one_o make_v a_o syllogism_n with_o unknown_a term_n therefore_o demonstration_n have_v seem_v to_o i_o to_o serve_v schoolmaster_n that_o stir_v up_o their_o young_a beginner_n to_o attend_v those_o thing_n which_o they_o themselves_o know_v who_o certain_o have_v hitherto_o find_v out_o few_o and_o profitable_a science_n however_o they_o may_v boast_v that_o by_o

it_o may_v force_v its_o demonstration_n into_o a_o form_n therefore_o a_o syllogism_n be_v not_o to_o find_v out_o science_n but_o rather_o that_o it_o may_v demonstrate_v to_o other_o
opinion_n find_v out_o and_o see_v that_o a_o syllogism_n do_v cause_v a_o certain_a remembrance_n of_o that_o in_o the_o learner_n which_o he_o know_v and_o no_o other_o thing_n but_o science_n be_v

since_o according_a to_o aristotle_n those_o immediate_a knowledge_n that_o be_v intellectual_a one_o be_v not_o to_o be_v demonstrate_v it_o also_o follow_v that_o every_o kind_n of_o true_a or_o

therefore_o to_o know_v by_o a_o syllogism_n can_v be_v a_o intellectual_a essential_a as_o neither_o a_o principiative_a thing_n or_o from_o a_o former_a cause_n but_o only_o from_o supposition_n

speak_v with_o a_o consideration_n concern_v the_o power_n of_o willing_a for_o after_o this_o life_n a_o substantial_a will_n arise_v and_o manifest_v itself_o which_o have_v a_o distinct_a essence_n

i_o have_v believe_v that_o the_o very_a spiritual_a substance_n of_o the_o soul_n do_v show_v forth_o the_o image_n of_o god_n but_o not_o in_o its_o power_n namely_o herein_o most_o near_o god_n be_v a_o un-created_n be_v one_o incomprehensible_a eternal_a infinite_a omnipotent_a good_a a_o super-substantial_a light_n and_o spirit_n but_o the_o soul_n be_v a_o creature_n be_v one_o

of_o his_o attribute_n be_v the_o very_a undistinct_a most_o simple_a essence_n itself_o of_o the_o divine_a spirit_n which_o thing_n also_o plato_n his_o parmenides_n even_o after_o some_o sort_n understand_v so_o the_o soul_n if_o it_o show_v forth_o the_o image_n of_o god_n it_o shall_v admit_v of_o no_o accident_n in_o itself_o but_o the_o whole_a substance_n thereof_o shall_v be_v a_o simple_a light_n and_o understanding_n itself_o for_o just_a even_o as_o smoak_n be_v kindle_v by_o the_o flame_n be_v the_o same_o in_o figure_n and_o matter_n with_o the_o flame_n so_o likewise_o the_o soul_n also_o be_v a_o naked_a pure_a and_o simple_a understanding_n the_o light_n and_o image_n of_o a_o uncreated_a light_n so_o that_o as_o the_o eye_n behold_v nothing_o more_o true_o or_o near_o than_o the_o sun_n but_o all_o other_o thing_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o sun_n itself_o so_o a_o bless_a soul_n do_v not_o understand_v any_o thing_n more_o near_o than_o the_o light_n itself_o from_o whence_o it_o total_o and_o immediate_o depend_v and_o as_o our_o eye_n do_v not_o bear_v the_o sight_n of_o the_o sun_n so_o the_o soul_n can_v understand_v god_n and_o much_o less_o as_o long_o as_o it_o make_v use_v of_o the_o medium_n of_o power_n as_o be_v bind_v thereunto_o otherwise_o the_o understanding_n be_v free_a do_v by_o understanding_n attain_v the_o figure_n of_o the_o
