his_o work_n by_o the_o pattern_n which_o he_o have_v erst_o conceyve_v in_o his_o mind_n which_o pattern_n be_v his_o inward_a word_n so_o god_n make_v the_o world_n and_o all_o that_o be_v therein_o

also_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o father_n yea_o and_o even_o mere_o and_o simple_o wisdom_n for_o wisdom_n even_o in_o man_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o behaviour_n proceed_v of_o diverse_a conceyt_v or_o inward_a speech_n whereby_o our_o mind_n be_v perfect_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o high_a thing_n now_o god_n be_v the_o heyghth_n of_o all_o heyghthe_n and_o by_o the_o conceyve_n of_o himself_o he_o know_v himself_o but_o yet_o we_o must_v take_v this_o withal_o that_o the_o thing_n which_o be_v a_o behaviour_n in_o we_o be_v essence_n in_o he_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o be_v the_o very_a thing_n themselves_o which_o we_o obtain_v to_o have_v by_o mean_n and_o that_o he_o himself_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o his_o own_o wisdom_n whereas_o the_o true_a wisdom_n of_o man_n have_v not_o any_o other_o ground_n than_o god_n now_o then_o can_v there_o be_v any_o great_a wisdom_n in_o god_n than_o to_o know_v himself_o and_o be_v not_o that_o knowledge_n breed_v of_o understanding_n let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o three_o person_n person_n we_o have_v acknowledge_v heretofore_o that_o in_o the_o most_o single_a essence_n of_o god_n there_o be_v a_o workfull_a power_n ability_n or_o nature_n match_v with_o a_o understanding_n according_a whereuto_n the_o say_a virtue_n or_o power_n execute_v his_o action_n now_o in_o the_o selfsame_o essence_n shall_v there_o not_o also_o be_v a_o will_n beside_o the_o say_a understanding_n if_o we_o consider_v all_o the_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n we_o shall_v find_v in_o they_o a_o kind_n of_o will_n tend_v to_o the_o several_a welfare_n of_o every_o of_o they_o &_o the_o more_o understanding_n they_o have_v the_o more_o will_v also_o have_v they_o becasue_v that_o the_o more_o their_o welfare_n be_v know_v unto_o

the_o beast_n have_v a_o sensitive_a appetite_n to_o follow_v the_o thing_n which_o their_o sense_n take_v hold_v of_o to_o be_v good_a for_o they_o man_n also_o do_v run_v with_o all_o their_o

thereupon_o only_o their_o understanding_n be_v bewitch_v by_o vanity_n be_v deceytful_o drive_v to_o choose_v the_o evil_a for_o the_o good_a by_o mean_n whereof_o the_o will_n which_o ought_v to_o be_v discreet_a and_o full_a of_o wit_n and_o understanding_n be_v force_v of_o necessity_n to_o degenerate_v into_o fleshly_a and_o beastly_a lust_n the_o angel_n likewise_o as_o say_v the_o philosopher_n have_v also_o a_o will_n and_o much_o more_o simple_o one_o &_o more_o lively_a than_o we_o and_o as_o by_o their_o understanding_n they_o know_v the_o very_a good_a itself_o that_o be_v to_o wit_n god_n so_o have_v they_o their_o will_n ever_o settle_v on_o he_o alone_o without_o turn_v it_o aside_o to_o any_o of_o all_o the_o great_a multitude_n of_o object_n whereon_o we_o be_v wont_v to_o set_v our_o mind_n now_o shall_v not_o he_o himself_o have_v a_o will_n who_o have_v give_v will_n to_o all_o live_a thing_n and_o imprint_v it_o in_o they_o and_o he_o that_o have_v

and_o what_o else_o be_v this_o pleasure_n than_o will_v fulfil_v yea_o even_o fill_v to_o the_o full_a with_o the_o true_a good_a which_o suffice_v to_o himself_o which_o be_v the_o only_a peculiar_a thing_n whereon_o the_o very_a will_n rest_v in_o deed_n again_o the_o nature_n of_o will_n be_v to_o apply_v all_o ability_n to_o their_o action_n to_o no_o purpose_n have_v we_o hear_v if_o we_o lift_v not_o to_o hear_v to_o no_o purpose_n have_v we_o sight_n if_o we_o listen_v not_o to_o see_v to_o no_o purpose_n have_v we_o ability_n to_o do_v thing_n if_o we_o li●t_v not_o to_o do_v they_o and_o this_o appear_v daily_o in_o all_o our_o do_n which_o never_o come_v to_o effect_v till_o they_o be_v quicken_v and_o put_v forth_o by_o the_o will_n but_o we_o see_v that_o god_n have_v apply_v his_o power_n to_o the_o do_v of_o many_o thing_n yea_o of_o thing_n infinite_a and_o infinite_o diverse_a therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o he_o list_v to_o do_v they_o and_o that_o he_o list_v to_o make_v one_o thing_n to_o one_o end_n and_o another_o to_o another_o and_o one_o of_o they_o for_o another_o and_o final_o all_o for_o himself_o and_o so_o consequent_o that_o he_o have_v a_o will_n and_o this_o will_v so_o far_o as_o we_o be_v able_a to_o discern_v it_o by_o the_o effect_n be_v a_o certeyn_a ability_n whereby_o he_o appli_v his_o workfull_a power_n when_o where_o and_o how_o he_o think_v good_a guide_v and_o perform_v it_o according_a to_o his_o own_o mind_n howbeit_o that_o the_o chief_a act_n thereof_o be_v perform_v within_o itself_o nevertheless_o this_o be_v speak_v always_o after_o the_o manner_n of_o man_n for_o if_o we_o have_v much_o a_o do_v to_o discern_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o ability_n of_o will_n and_o understanding_n in_o our_o own_o soul_n by_o reason_n of_o the_o link_a of_o they_o together_o much_o more_o reason_n be_v it_o that_o in_o this_o essence_n of_o god_n which_o be_v most_o single_a and_o infinite_o more_o one_o than_o we_o we_o shall_v deem_v all_o these_o thing_n to_o be_v but_o one_o in_o he_o notwithstanding_o that_o they_o differ_v in_o certain_a respect_n god_n understand_v but_o i_o have_v tell_v you_o that_o to_o be_v and_o to_o understand_v be_v all_o one_o in_o he_o also_o god_n will_v or_o list_v but_o too_o will_v and_o too_o understand_v be_v likewise_o both_o one_o in_o he_o and_o so_o all_o three_o come_v into_o one_o essence_n that_o be_v be_v all_o one_o thing_n the_o reason_n hereof_o be_v very_o evident_a namely_o that_o willing_a or_o list_v of_o be_v no_o more_o a_o action_n that_o pass_v into_o the_o outward_a thing_n than_o understanding_n be_v but_o abide_v still_o in_o the_o willer_n for_o by_o our_o list_v of_o a_o thing_n we_o may_v perceive_v some_o alteration_n in_o ourselves_o but_o the_o thing_n itself_o that_o be_v list_v or_o will_v feel_v nothing_o thereof_o now_o i_o have_v prove_v heretofore_o that_o whatsoever_o be_v or_o rest_v in_o god_n be_v his_o very_a be_v and_o moreover_o god_n will_v not_o any_o thing_n but_o as_o in_o respect_n that_o he_o understand_v it_o for_o the_o know_v good_a be_v the_o ground_n of_o his_o will_n and_o he_o understand_v not_o but_o by_o his_o essence_n that_o be_v to_o say_v for_o that_o he_o be_v the_o very_a understanding_n itself_o it_o follow_v then_o that_o in_o god_n his_o will_n be_v his_o very_a essence_n as_o well_o as_o his_o understanding_n insomuch_o that_o he_o be_v both_o power_n understanding_n and_o will_v all_o in_o one_o but_o let_v we_o see_v now_o what_o proceed_v of_o god_n by_o his_o will._n i_o have_v say_v afore_o that_o god_n be_v mere_a action_n and_o moreover_o that_o he_o be_v most_o single_a therefore_o he_o be_v still_o do_v from_o all_o eternity_n and_o so_o likewise_o be_v whatsoever_o else_o we_o consider_v in_o his_o essence_n now_o there_o we_o have_v find_v a_o understanding_n by_o the_o inworking_a whereof_o he_o know_v himself_o and_o also_o a_o will_n whereby_o he_o can_v but_o will_v himself_o see_v he_o know_v himself_o and_o this_o understanding_n by_o a_o certain_a reflection_n of_o itself_o upon_o itself_o have_v beget_v we_o a_o second_o person_n who_o
