order_n and_o govern_v of_o it_o and_o also_o the_o holy_a trinity_n introduce_v of_o themselves_o into_o eternal_a nature_n the_o wide_a space_n within_o the_o circle_n type'_v forth_o the_o chaos_n or_o the_o abyssal_n nothing_o the_o ground_n of_o all_o essence_n and_o yet_o no_o essence_n to_o be_v see_v in_o it_o now_o because_o i_o have_v in_o the_o forego_n discourse_n oft_o make_v mention_n of_o the_o word_n principle_n without_o have_v any_o where_o declare_v what_o i_o mean_v by_o it_o i_o think_v it_o proper_a in_o this_o place_n to_o give_v you_o the_o signification_n of_o it_o according_a to_o the_o sense_n in_o which_o i_o take_v it_o and_o in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o shall_v tell_v you_o negative_o in_o what_o sense_n it_o be_v not_o in_o this_o place_n take_v by_o i_o by_o the_o word_n principle_n i_o do_v not_o understand_v the_o first_o constitutive_a beginning_n of_o thing_n whereof_o they_o consist_v and_o from_o whence_o they_o take_v their_o be_v in_o the_o same_o sense_n in_o which_o the_o four_o element_n by_o some_o and_o salt_n sulphur_n and_o mercury_n by_o other_o be_v call_v the_o principle_n of_o all_o thing_n but_o by_o a_o principle_n i_o mean_v a_o original_a source_n and_o fountain-essence_n form_v by_o a_o agent_n into_o a_o spherical_a circumference_n by_o which_o it_o be_v distinguish_v from_o all_o other_o 1._o to_o explain_v this_o definition_n a_o little_a i_o say_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o a_o principle_n be_v a_o original_a and_o fountain-essence_n for_o it_o be_v not_o every_o essence_n do_v make_v a_o principle_n but_o such_o a_o one_o only_o as_o be_v th●_n fruitful_a mother_n of_o all_o the_o essence_n contain_v within_o its_o own_o circumference_n and_o kingdom_n and_o afford_v they_o be_v and_o sustenance_n from_o its_o own_o bowel_n 2._o in_o the_o second_o place_n it_o be_v say_v to_o be_v form_v by_o a_o agent_n because_o a_o principle_n of_o itself_o be_v passive_a consider_v without_o the_o active_a spirit_n in_o the_o centre_n which_o be_v the_o mover_n of_o it_o 3._o in_o the_o three_o place_n you_o have_v the_o form_n and_o figure_n of_o a_o principle_n a_o spherical_a circumference_n which_o be_v the_o common_a form_n of_o all_o principle_n 4._o in_o the_o last_o place_n you_o have_v the_o end_n why_o a_o principle_n be_v form_v into_o a_o spherical_a enclosure_n viz._n that_o thereby_o it_o may_v be_v distinguish_v from_o all_o other_o principle_n world_n and_o centre_n for_o all_o these_o be_v the_o same_o with_o i_o in_o this_o place_n and_o therefore_o many_o time_n one_o of_o these_o be_v put_v for_o the_o other_o have_v thus_o give_v you_o the_o definition_n of_o a_o principle_n in_o general_n i_o shall_v now_o subjoin_v the_o particular_a definition_n of_o eternal_a nature_n in_o these_o word_n eternal_a nature_n be_v a_o principle_n create_v by_o god_n out_o of_o the_o abyssal_n chaos_n contain_v the_o seven_o operative_a power_n for_o the_o production_n of_o all_o thing_n the_o genus_fw-la or_o general_a notion_n of_o this_o definition_n be_v the_o word_n principle_n which_o but_o just_a now_o we_o have_v explain_v to_o you_o the_o difference_n of_o this_o definition_n contain_v the_o four_o cause_n of_o eternal_a nature_n viz._n the_o efficient_a material_a formal_a and_o final_a the_o efficient_a cause_n which_o be_v god_n be_v express_v in_o these_o word_n of_o the_o definition_n create_v by_o god_n the_o material_a which_o be_v the_o abyssal_n chaos_n be_v express_v in_o these_o word_n out_o of_o the_o abyssal_n chaos_n the_o formal_a cause_n be_v the_o seven_o operative_a power_n which_o the_o definition_n tell_v you_o that_o eternal_a nature_n do_v contain_v the_o final_a cause_n of_o eternal_a nature_n be_v that_o it_o may_v be_v the_o fruitful_a mother_n of_o all_o thing_n which_o the_o definition_n express_v in_o these_o word_n for_o the_o production_n of_o all_o thing_n what_o eternal_a nature_n be_v the_o three_o head_n which_o make_v the_o three_o part_n of_o this_o discourse_n what_o eternal_a nature_n be_v i._o the_o subject_n of_o this_o part_n be_v concern_v eternal_a nature_n essence_n it_o be_v a_o most_o noble_a subject_n to_o look_v into_o i_o acknowledge_v that_o none_o can_v lay_v a_o deep_a ground_n as_o to_o this_o subject_a than_o divine_a behme_n have_v do_v yet_o i_o find_v withal_o that_o he_o have_v bring_v it_o forth_o something_o obscure_o so_o that_o he_o be_v understand_v by_o few_o and_o misunderstand_v by_o most_o this_o have_v move_v i_o to_o search_v into_o the_o nature_n of_o this_o subject_a for_o my_o own_o private_a satisfaction_n according_a to_o the_o innate_a light_n of_o my_o own_o intellect_n and_o the_o inward_a discovery_n of_o the_o triune_n deity_n to_o the_o spirit_n of_o my_o soul_n in_o this_o three_o part_n i_o shall_v confine_v my_o discourse_n to_o these_o two_o general_a head_n the_o first_o what_o eternal_a nature_n be_v in_o its_o first_o original_a purity_n the_o second_o what_o kind_n of_o essence_n or_o principle_n pure_a eternal_a nature_n be_v i_o begin_v with_o the_o first_o of_o these_o ii_o quest._n what_o be_v eternal_a nature_n essence_n in_o its_o first_o original_n birth_n and_o be_v as_o it_o come_v out_o of_o wisdom_n hand_n answ._n eternal_a nature_n be_v a_o pure_a essence_n and_o then_o call_v pure_a nature_n be_v free_a from_o sin_n and_o evil_n and_o all_o mixture_n of_o imperfection_n she_o be_v then_o all_o fair_a clear_a spotless_a faultless_a and_o sinless_a now_o for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o this_o great_a mystery_n of_o eternal_a nature_n what_o it_o be_v i_o will_v open_v it_o in_o the_o original_a cause_n of_o it_o viz._n the_o efficient_a material_a formal_a and_o final_a iii_o concern_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o eternal_a nature_n who_o can_v be_v the_o author_n and_o creator_n of_o eternal_a nature_n but_o the_o triune_n deity_n the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n must_v be_v the_o creator_n of_o eternal_a nature_n not_o the_o father_n without_o the_o son_n and_o spirit_n nor_o the_o son_n without_o the_o father_n and_o spirit_n nor_o the_o spirit_n without_o the_o father_n and_o son_n but_o the_o triune_n deity_n in_o joint_a co-operation_n therefore_o the_o triune_n deity_n in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n subsist_v in_o their_o own_o pure_a deity_n must_v be_v before_o eternal_a nature_n by_o way_n of_o efficiency_n as_o the_o cause_n be_v before_o the_o effect_n and_o be_v distinct_a as_o the_o cause_n and_o effect_n god_n therefore_o be_v not_o eternal_a nature_n nor_o eternal_a nature_n god_n because_o eternal_a nature_n be_v form_v by_o god_n as_o the_o efficient_a and_o thus_o we_o see_v that_o god_n can_v subsist_v without_o nature_n but_o eternal_a nature_n essence_n can_v subsist_v without_o the_o triune_n deity_n god_n comprehend_v eternal_a nature_n but_o eternal_a nature_n can_v comprehend_v he_o who_o as_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o eternal_a nature_n be_v high_a essence_v in_o his_o own_o eternal_a unity_n and_o simplicity_n now_o that_o god_n be_v the_o creator_n of_o eternal_a nature_n scripture_n teach_v we_o when_o it_o tell_v we_o that_o by_o the_o word_n all_o thing_n be_v create_v and_o that_o without_o he_o nothing_o be_v make_v that_o be_v make_v now_o if_o the_o triune_n deity_n be_v the_o creator_n of_o eternal_a nature_n he_o must_v needs_o in_o order_n of_o nature_n be_v before_o it_o and_o distinct_a from_o it_o and_o subsist_v in_o a_o far_o high_a graduate_v essence_n than_o eternal_a natures_n essence_n be_v for_o if_o any_o shall_v ask_v i_o what_o be_v above_o before_o and_o beyond_o eternal_a nature_n essence_n i_o can_v only_o reply_v the_o triune_n deity_n in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n who_o be_v the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o eternal_a nature_n and_o here_o we_o must_v st●p_v for_o we_o can_v go_v beyond_o the_o first_o cause_n of_o all_o thing_n iv._o we_o proceed_v to_o sp●●k_v of_o the_o efficient_a cause_n of_o eternal_a nature_n which_o be_v god_n and_o will_v brief_o declare_v how_o god_n do_v not_o only_o create_v eternal_a nature_n by_o way_n of_o efficiency_n but_o also_o that_o he_o create_v it_o out_o of_o and_o from_o himself_o by_o way_n of_o essentiality_n thus_o the_o divine_a philosophy_n instruct_v we_o rom._n 8._o 36._o of_o he_o and_o from_o he_o and_o to_o he_o be_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v all_o thing_n proceed_v essential_o from_o he_o and_o if_o all_o then_o eternal_a nature_n must_v proceed_v material_o and_o essential_o out_o of_o god_n essence_n 1_o cor._n 8._o 6._o to_o we_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n by_o who_o be_v all_o thing_n efficient_o and_o of_o who_o be_v all_o thing_n essential_o neither_o can_v it_o be_v otherwise_o for_o when_o god_n be_v to_o create_v eternal_a nature_n there_o be_v nothing_o beside_o himself_o out_o of_o or_o from_o
