your_o better_a consideration_n because_o be_v now_o in_o the_o entrance_n of_o this_o art_n and_o so_o in_o the_o high_a and_o most_o general_a i_o think_v this_o the_o fit_a place_n for_o such_o a_o

which_o treat_v de_fw-fr deo_fw-la the_o second_o de_fw-fr actionibus_fw-la dei_fw-la which_o they_o prosecute_v proportionable_o in_o the_o particular_n which_o i_o will_v pass_v over_o that_o i_o may_v keep_v my_o promise_a brevity_n and_o the_o rather_o because_o it_o be_v easy_a for_o you_o to_o be_v full_o inform_v of_o they_o and_o that_o i_o may_v not_o stand_v to_o examine_v this_o accurate_o i_o think_v you_o may_v know_v my_o judgement_n concern_v it_o sufficient_o out_o of_o that_o which_o i_o say_v in_o the_o definition_n explain_v whither_o and_o by_o what_o right_a god_n may_v come_v to_o be_v handle_v in_o divinity_n where_o i_o show_v that_o in_o the_o method_n of_o art_n he_o be_v not_o but_o in_o the_o method_n of_o prudence_n he_o may_v profitable_o which_o ground_n there_o lay_v be_v now_o grant_v this_o distribution_n will_v fall_v to_o the_o ground_n of_o itself_o without_o any_o more_o a_o do_v this_o observation_n only_o i_o will_v now_o add_v that_o though_o that_o division_n be_v not_o according_a to_o the_o rule_n of_o art_n yet_o many_o action_n of_o god_n indeed_o come_v to_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o doctrine_n namely_o such_o as_o without_o which_o man_n can_v attain_v to_o his_o last_o end_n and_o happiness_n to_o which_o this_o rule_n guide_v for_o there_o be_v some_o immediate_a action_n of_o god_n as_o for_o example_n redemption_n and_o all_o the_o action_n even_o of_o man_n be_v in_o some_o sort_n action_n of_o god_n be_v perform_v by_o the_o help_n of_o his_o spirit_n and_o assistance_n of_o his_o grace_n without_o which_o they_o can_v be_v perform_v insomuch_o that_o durand_n put_v this_o for_o a_o objection_n that_o divinity_n be_v not_o a_o practical_a art_n because_o these_o action_n be_v not_o whole_o we_o nor_o in_o our_o power_n alone_o to_o perform_v and_o in_o this_o sense_n i_o deny_v not_o but_o the_o action_n of_o god_n be_v handle_v in_o divinity_n so_o far_o as_o they_o tend_v to_o man_n happiness_n but_o this_o help_v that_o distribution_n but_o a_o little_a first_o because_o that_o comprehend_v under_o it_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n and_o attribute_n which_o make_v the_o first_o part_n not_o only_o his_o action_n second_o because_o it_o extend_v itself_o to_o other_o action_n beside_o those_o that_o confer_v to_o the_o forname_v scope_n of_o man_n happiness_n both_o which_o respect_v show_v it_o to_o be_v of_o too_o much_o generality_n and_o thrid_o therefore_o that_o which_o belong_v proper_o to_o this_o doctrine_n be_v but_o a_o small_a portion_n in_o that_o distribution_n and_o those_o action_n of_o god_n which_o be_v necessary_a may_v well_o be_v rank_v under_o another_o order_n many_o other_o exception_n i_o may_v bring_v against_o that_o division_n if_o it_o will_v stand_v with_o my_o purpose_n but_o i_o omit_v they_o both_o for_o that_o reason_n and_o because_o they_o shall_v better_o appear_v out_o of_o that_o which_o follow_v the_o second_o that_o i_o will_v name_v shall_v be_v that_o which_o ramus_n as_o i_o think_v first_o observe_v and_o polanus_fw-la after_o he_o have_v much_o confirm_v and_o many_o modern_a divine_n approve_v and_o

the_o second_o de_fw-fr faciendis_fw-la and_o so_o forward_o in_o all_o the_o subdivision_n and_o this_o i_o confess_v i_o think_v absolute_a a_o long_a time_n both_o for_o the_o commendation_n of_o good_a author_n as_o also_o for_o the_o consanguinity_n with_o the_o scripture_n and_o congruity_n with_o reason_n till_o that_o upon_o better_a consideration_n i_o find_v it_o do_v not_o satisfy_v i_o for_o first_o beside_o the_o ambiguity_n of_o the_o word_n fides_fw-la which_o can_v be_v avoid_v if_o it_o be_v take_v in_o that_o infinite_a extent_n to_o comprehend_v so_o much_o and_o so_o divers_a thing_n in_o it_o as_o it_o must_v of_o necessity_n according_a to_o that_o distribution_n all_o which_o can_v possible_o be_v conceive_v to_o agree_v in_o one_o univocal_a praedication_n or_o formal_a respect_n as_o i_o may_v easy_o demonstrate_v but_o be_v bring_v under_o it_o not_o without_o apparent_a force_n and_o violence_n and_o second_o beside_o the_o seem_a agreement_n of_o the_o part_v one_o with_o another_o against_o the_o nature_n and_o rule_n of_o a_o distribution_n which_o require_v they_o shall_v be_v opposite_a which_o though_o it_o may_v be_v well_o answer_v yet_o in_o my_o opininon_n be_v better_o avoid_v for_o it_o sound_v harsh_a and_o seem_v unreasonable_a that_o one_o part_n shall_v treat_v of_o the_o habit_n another_o of_o the_o act_n of_o faith_n and_o whereas_o it_o may_v be_v say_v for_o that_o that_o the_o meaning_n of_o it_o be_v not_o to_o oppose_v and_o sever_v the_o habit_n of_o faith_n from_o the_o formal_a effect_n of_o it_o for_o that_o will_v be_v absurd_a indeed_o but_o by_o opera_fw-la fidei_fw-la you_o must_v understand_v other_o grace_n and_o virtue_n so_o that_o the_o opposition_n stand_v between_o the_o habit_n of_o faith_n and_o the_o habit_n of_o they_o grace_n and_o virtue_n which_o be_v therefore_o call_v the_o work_n of_o faith_n or_o effect_n because_o beside_o their_o own_o proper_a habit_n from_o whence_o they_o proceed_v formalitèr_fw-la they_o must_v and_o do_v also_o in_o some_o sort_n flow_v from_o faith_n and_o from_o it_o they_o have_v all_o their_o commendation_n and_o acceptation_n with_o god_n be_v without_o it_o but_o splendida_fw-la peccata_fw-la as_o you_o all_o have_v hear_v out_o of_o austin_n often_o for_o without_o faith_n it_o be_v impossible_a to_o please_v god_n say_v the_o apostle_n paul_n but_o this_o be_v not_o enough_o if_o to_o excuse_v it_o yet_o not_o to_o justify_v it_o first_o because_o the_o term_n be_v so_o ambiguous_a that_o they_o give_v too_o much_o occasion_n to_o mistake_n and_o stumble_a as_o i_o say_v before_o second_o because_o in_o sanctification_n which_o they_o that_o propound_v this_o distribution_n range_v under_o faith_n the_o habit_n of_o all_o other_o grace_n and_o virtue_n be_v infuse_v and_o so_o include_v as_o well_o as_o of_o faith_n three_o because_o in_o the_o decalogue_n the_o rule_n of_o obedience_n and_o good_a work_n and_o consequent_o a_o principal_a portion_n of_o the_o second_o part_n faith_n be_v also_o include_v or_o else_o other_o worse_a inconvenience_n will_v follow_v and_o so_o there_o be_v a_o mutual_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d and_o immeation_n in_o these_o part_n as_o divine_n speak_v in_o another_o case_n which_o can_v be_v without_o a_o strange_a and_o wonderful_a confusion_n in_o which_o regard_n i_o can_v see_v that_o these_o part_n be_v artificial_o and_o accurate_o cut_v out_o but_o beside_o that_o which_o have_v be_v allege_v i_o can_v produce_v many_o more_o exception_n which_o i_o omit_v rather_o and_o in_o both_o these_o i_o will_v be_v thus_o understand_v not_o as_o reject_v either_o as_o unprofitable_a for_o i_o approve_v they_o both_o as_o very_o good_a though_o not_o exact_v and_o stand_v not_o much_o upon_o formality_n of_o art_n so_o as_o they_o comprehend_v in_o they_o the_o substance_n of_o theological_a truth_n prefer_v this_o before_o the_o other_o as_o i_o will_v prefer_v a_o piece_n of_o gold_n for_o weight_n rather_o than_o for_o workmanship_n for_o value_n rather_o than_o for_o elegancy_n like_o that_o french_a coin_n in_o the_o historian_n that_o

caution_n first_o i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o i_o can_v see_v further_o or_o go_v beyond_o those_o ancient_a hero_n in_o divinity_n who_o be_v so_o rich_o furnish_v with_o understanding_n which_o

they_o call_v they_o as_o there_o be_v so_o many_o science_n yet_o by_o this_o synecdoche_n as_o i_o say_v the_o collection_n of_o many_o be_v call_v one_o and_o be_v so_o unitate_fw-la ordinis_fw-la

that_o divinity_n be_v a_o practical_a doctrine_n and_o conclude_v this_o truth_n in_o this_o one_o reason_n that_o art_n be_v practical_a who_o subject_a be_v res_fw-la operabilis_fw-la à_fw-la

not_o the_o subject_n of_o divinity_n nor_o principal_o consider_v in_o it_o according_a to_o his_o nature_n for_o he_o that_o do_v so_o say_v durand_n sumit_fw-la formam_fw-la philosophi_fw-la but_o

of_o divinity_n be_v the_o vision_n of_o god_n which_o be_v speculative_a and_o therefore_o the_o second_o condition_n of_o a_o practical_a art_n agree_v not_o to_o divinity_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v first_o the_o last_o end_n of_o divinity_n be_v eternal_a happiness_n but_o not_o the_o whole_a end_n and_o in_o eternal_a happiness_n that_o vision_n be_v something_o but_o not_o all_o for_o without_o doubt_n there_o shall_v be_v many_o other_o operation_n as_o praise_v of_o god_n etc._n etc._n to_z which_o that_o be_v rather_o subordinate_a than_o otherwise_o second_o the_o next_o end_n
