may_v so_o express_v it_o evince_v this_o to_o be_v true_a that_o the_o lord_n our_o god_n be_v holy_a and_o thus_o we_o may_v say_v the_o will_n of_o god_n the_o act_n of_o god_n be_v conformable_a to_o the_o eternal_a law_n of_o god_n but_o yet_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n be_v of_o a_o far_o high_a consideration_n than_o the_o holiness_n of_o man_n or_o angle_n for_o the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o his_o act_n be_v not_o to_o be_v think_v to_o be_v conformable_a in_o a_o accidentary_a manner_n to_o a_o eternal_a law_n but_o essential_o and_o from_o within_o himself_o not_o by_o diverse_a or_o various_a virtue_n but_o by_o his_o essence_n as_o it_o come_v under_o the_o consideration_n of_o a_o will_n he_o be_v holy_a even_o as_o the_o same_o one_o infinite_a essence_n come_v under_o the_o consideration_n of_o a_o mind_n be_v say_v to_o be_v most_o wise_a yea_o wisdom_n itself_o so_o that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o order_n of_o god_n action_n according_a to_o his_o understanding_n which_o be_v call_v the_o holiness_n of_o god_n there_o be_v never_o a_o wise_a action_n or_o word_n in_o the_o world_n but_o it_o come_v out_o of_o god_n head_n nor_o never_o a_o good_a right_a or_o holy_a action_n but_o come_v out_o at_o his_o heart_n again_o whereas_o the_o eternal_a law_n do_v spring_n from_o the_o divine_a essence_n which_o as_o it_o be_v the_o first_o original_n of_o all_o entitative_a perfection_n so_o also_o of_o all_o moral_a perfection_n and_o of_o all_o the_o rectitude_n of_o the_o affection_n and_o conversation_n it_o than_o appear_v that_o as_o holiness_n in_o man_n and_o angle_n do_v stand_v in_o conjunction_n with_o god_n in_o affection_n so_o god_n most_o conjoin_v to_o himself_o both_o by_o nature_n and_o by_o the_o affection_n of_o love_n must_v needs_o be_v exact_o holy_a according_a to_o the_o say_n in_o the_o school_n amor_fw-la dei_fw-la est_fw-la sanctitate_fw-la the_o love_n of_o god_n be_v holiness_n because_o in_o man_n it_o arise_v from_o the_o knowledge_n of_o his_o excellency_n which_o draw_v their_o soul_n to_o god_n now_o therefore_o no_o creature_n can_v be_v holy_a as_o god_n be_v because_o no_o man_n do_v know_v god_n as_o he_o know_v himself_o you_o know_v the_o say_n ignoti_fw-la nulla_fw-la cupido_fw-la of_o a_o thing_n unknown_a there_o be_v no_o desire_n the_o reason_n we_o love_v god_n no_o more_o be_v because_o we_o know_v he_o no_o better_o all_o our_o want_n of_o love_n to_o god_n flow_v from_o our_o ignorance_n of_o he_o he_o be_v holy_a among_o man_n that_o love_v god_n most_o and_o he_o will_v love_v more_o than_o other_o that_o have_v a_o great_a knowledge_n of_o god_n than_o other_o god_n know_v himself_o and_o love_v himself_o and_o this_o be_v his_o holiness_n yea_o he_o so_o adhear_v to_o himself_o that_o he_o will_v cast_v down_o all_o thing_n rather_o than_o suffer_v his_o honour_n to_o be_v abase_v last_o in_o the_o application_n of_o the_o acceptation_n of_o the_o word_n holiness_n to_o god_n you_o must_v know_v that_o holiness_n stand_v in_o purity_n of_o soul_n free_a from_o all_o contagion_n and_o spot_n of_o sin_n therefore_o god_n be_v holy_a in_o himself_o without_o regard_n to_o a_o eternal_a law_n to_o be_v measure_v by_o there_o be_v the_o holiness_n of_o obey_v a_o law_n and_o the_o holiness_n of_o be_v a_o law_n there_o be_v a_o create_a holiness_n and_o a_o uncreated_a holiness_n there_o be_v a_o regulate_a holiness_n and_o a_o regulate_v holiness_n holiness_n in_o man_n be_v a_o complete_a conformity_n to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o in_o god_n there_o be_v a_o complete_a essential_a will_n and_o a_o essential_a freedom_n from_o the_o least_o spot_n of_o sin_n in_o christ_n as_o man_n be_v a_o exact_a conformity_n and_o submission_n to_o his_o father_n will_v even_a contrary_n to_o his_o creature_o will_n but_o in_o god_n there_o be_v much_o more_o for_o he_o essential_o be_v holy_a and_o therefore_o can_v be_v measure_v by_o a_o law_n by_o this_o time_n you_o perceive_v i_o trust_v what_o holiness_n be_v which_o be_v a_o attribute_n of_o god_n yet_o for_o further_a discovery_n of_o god_n unto_o you_o i_o will_v speak_v of_o the_o diverse_a way_n that_o god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v holy_a distinct_o proper_o and_o perentical_o so_o as_o none_o but_o he_o can_v be_v so_o say_v to_o be_v holy_a as_o he_o be_v lessius_fw-la lessius_fw-la god_n be_v say_v to_o be_v holy_a five_o manner_n of_o way_n according_a to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o school_n first_o radical_o because_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v the_o first_o root_n and_o original_a fountain_n of_o all_o sanctity_n and_o purity_n for_o from_o the_o essence_n of_o god_n in_o our_o manner_n of_o conceive_v thing_n both_o the_o eternal_a law_n and_o all_o love_n in_o god_n of_o himself_o and_o all_o purity_n call_v by_o some_o the_o chastity_n of_o god_n do_v flow_v and_o come_v schaerpius_n schaerpius_n for_o although_o there_o be_v not_o in_o god_n a_o priority_n of_o nature_n in_o any_o regard_n yet_o we_o must_v conceive_v in_o he_o a_o priority_n of_o order_n to_o clear_v up_o this_o by_o familiar_a instance_n or_o similitude_n though_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n be_v assoon_o in_o in_o nature_n as_o the_o sun_n yet_o we_o must_v account_v the_o sun_n to_o be_v the_o radical_a cause_n of_o those_o beam_n so_o also_o assoon_o as_o there_o be_v fire_n there_o be_v light_a and_o heat_n yet_o be_v the_o fire_n in_o order_n to_o be_v conceive_v before_o either_o of_o they_o and_o so_o now_o you_o may_v see_v my_o meaning_n when_o i_o say_v holiness_n be_v radical_o in_o god_n i_o mean_v the_o essence_n of_o god_n be_v the_o radical_a cause_n root_n and_o fountain_n of_o that_o holiness_n which_o be_v in_o god_n as_o god_n the_o son_n have_v always_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o beget_v from_o everlasting_a and_o be_v call_v the_o wisdom_n and_o word_n of_o god_n so_o upon_o the_o same_o account_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o love_n and_o holiness_n of_o the_o godhead_n and_o divine_a essence_n and_o so_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n this_o help_v we_o to_o discern_v some_o what_o of_o the_o great_a mystery_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o so_o although_o not_o the_o same_o truth_n yet_o a_o truth_n like_o unto_o this_o will_v i_o hold_v forth_o in_o this_o doctrine_n of_o radical_a sanctity_n second_o god_n be_v objective_o holy_a because_o he_o be_v the_o object_n of_o all_o holiness_n for_o not_o only_o it_o be_v true_a of_o the_o holiness_n of_o angel_n man_n but_o even_o of_o the_o holiness_n of_o god_n that_o it_o be_v place_v in_o the_o love_n of_o and_o conjunction_n with_o god_n god_n be_v the_o supreme_a of_o all_o thing_n and_o most_o simple_a and_o pure_a and_o the_o chief_a purity_n be_v in_o cleave_v to_o he_o and_o purity_n be_v holiness_n or_o the_o chastity_n of_o god_n therefore_o god_n be_v holy_a objectively_o as_o the_o measure_n of_o all_o holiness_n and_o the_o fit_a object_n of_o self_n love_n for_o as_o in_o man_n impurity_n come_v by_o touch_v thing_n below_o as_o when_o our_o face_n be_v soul_n or_o our_o garment_n dirty_a and_o in_o our_o soul_n there_o be_v defilement_n by_o cleave_v inordinate_o to_o the_o world_n and_o worldly_a thing_n so_o purity_n spring_v by_o acquaintance_n with_o thing_n above_o when_o our_o affection_n do_v ascend_v to_o high_a and_o more_o noble_a thing_n and_o do_v stick_v to_o they_o and_o so_o god_n leave_v to_o himself_o and_o be_v the_o object_n and_o measure_n of_o his_o own_o holiness_n three_o god_n be_v holy_a exemplary_o in_o manner_n of_o a_o rule_n or_o copy_n the_o conformity_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o life_n of_o man_n to_o the_o eternal_a law_n be_v true_a holiness_n such_o conformity_n be_v in_o god_n to_o himself_o and_o law_n though_o not_o because_o it_o be_v his_o law_n which_o be_v the_o rule_n of_o holiness_n four_o formal_o god_n be_v holy_a he_o cleave_v to_o himself_o who_o be_v most_o pure_a and_o be_v therefore_o formal_o holy_a god_n be_v the_o love_n of_o himself_o this_o be_v his_o holiness_n and_o because_o he_o love_v himself_o
