before_o of_o we_o the_o power_n and_o force_v of_o the_o cause_n be_v know_v by_o the_o effect_n and_o work_n and_o by_o the_o power_n &_o force_v the_o essence_n be_v know_v what_o manner_n of_o

do_v show_v in_o his_o breviarie_n of_o divinity_n by_o this_o example_n we_o see_v say_v he_o in_o thing_n corporal_a that_o by_o how_o much_o any_o thing_n be_v more_o excellent_a by_o so_o much_o also_o it_o be_v great_a in_o quantity_n for_o we_o see_v that_o the_o element_n of_o the_o water_n be_v great_a than_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o air_n great_a than_o the_o water_n and_o the_o fire_n then_o the_o air_n furthermore_o the_o first_o or_o low_a heaven_n be_v great_a than_o the_o element_n of_o fire_n the_o second_o heaven_n great_a they_o the_o first_o and_o the_o three_o than_o the_o
