shall_v serve_v in_o stead_n of_o the_o rest_n and_o i_o will_v take_v his_o wisdom_n for_o my_o example_n and_o prove_v unto_o you_o that_o likewise_o to_o be_v infinite_a and_o that_o not_o only_o in_o existence_n but_o in_o action_n also_o and_o first_o that_o he_o be_v wise_a god_n be_v most_o worthy_a to_o be_v such_o as_o he_o be_v but_o if_o he_o be_v not_o wise_a he_o be_v not_o worthy_a to_o be_v god_n ergo_fw-la he_o be_v wise_a now_o mark_v how_o these_o depend_v one_o on_o another_o in_o god_n be_v wisdom_n which_o by_o reason_n of_o his_o infinitie_o be_v also_o infinite_a and_o by_o his_o eternity_n be_v also_o eternal_a so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o time_n wherein_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o this_o infinite_a wisdom_n be_v not_o infinite_o exercise_v for_o than_o be_v it_o not_o eternal_o infinite_a therefore_o his_o wisdom_n be_v infinite_a not_o in_o existence_n only_o but_o also_o in_o action_n again_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v such_o as_o have_v no_o defect_n or_o imbecility_n therein_o but_o if_o it_o be_v not_o infinite_a both_o in_o action_n and_o in_o existence_n a_o man_n may_v find_v defect_n therein_o and_o imagine_v a_o more_o infinite_a wisdom_n than_o that_o be_v but_o this_o be_v impossible_a so_o may_v i_o conclude_v of_o all_o the_o other_o dignity_n of_o god_n but_o i_o haste_v to_o the_o purpose_n and_o i_o think_v that_o you_o will_v not_o unwilling_o grant_v what_o i_o have_v say_v but_o understand_v the_o rest_n all_o the_o dignity_n of_o god_n be_v actuate_v or_o bring_v into_o work_v require_v of_o necessity_n a_o infinite_a object_n whereon_o they_o work_v because_o they_o themselves_o be_v infinite_a but_o nothing_o can_v be_v infinite_a but_o god_n alone_o therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o these_o dignity_n be_v object_v or_o exercise_v in_o god_n alone_o and_o this_o be_v that_o eternal_a son_n beget_v before_o the_o world_n in_o who_o the_o father_n rest_v or_o as_o the_o prophet_n speak_v his_o belove_a in_o who_o his_o soul_n delight_v which_o can_v be_v apply_v to_o any_o creature_n without_o which_o god_n be_v happy_a in_o himself_o therefore_o say_v the_o apostle_n that_o in_o he_o dwell_v the_o godhead_n bodily_a how_o be_v that_o not_o in_o his_o manly_a body_n eternal_o for_o his_o humane_a body_n take_v beginning_n of_o the_o flesh_n of_o the_o virgin_n when_o the_o fullness_n of_o time_n come_v but_o yet_o bodily_a that_o be_v as_o essential_o or_o substantial_o as_o the_o body_n of_o a_o man_n be_v substantial_a to_o the_o man_n for_o every_o dignity_n of_o god_n be_v infinite_a in_o action_n as_o be_v prove_v must_v of_o necessity_n produce_v such_o as_o itself_o be_v as_o for_o example_n the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n or_o his_o infinite_a understanding_n must_v have_v a_o infinite_a intelligible_a or_o understandable_a object_n which_o be_v produce_v thereby_o by_o a_o infinite_a understanding_n so_o that_o you_o must_v know_v of_o necessity_n and_o mark_v three_o term_n as_o i_o will_v a_o while_n call_v they_o the_o term_n from_o whence_o the_o term_n whereto_o or_o wherein_o and_o the_o middle_a term_n between_o they_o i_o will_v for_o your_o capacity_n which_o i_o know_v not_o to_o be_v much_o exercise_v in_o these_o matter_n make_v a_o comparison_n meet_v for_o your_o understanding_n when_o the_o mind_n or_o understanding_n of_o a_o

or_o understanding_n whereby_o that_o object_n be_v apprehend_v now_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o tell_v you_o what_o difference_n you_o must_v make_v between_o the_o understanding_n of_o god_n and_o the_o understanding_n of_o man_n in_o this_o comparison_n first_o the_o mind_n of_o man_n be_v finite_a the_o understanding_n be_v not_o able_a to_o view_v all_o that_o which_o can_v be_v understand_v thereby_o at_o one_o time_n or_o with_o one_o action_n of_o understanding_n but_o must_v conceive_v of_o one_o thing_n after_o another_o whereas_o the_o understanding_n and_o wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v such_o as_o at_o one_o sight_n see_v himself_o and_o every_o thing_n else_o past_a present_a and_o to_o come_v and_o this_o not_o once_o only_o but_o even_o continual_o because_o it_o be_v eternal_o infinite_a second_o the_o intendment_n of_o man_n work_v nothing_o in_o the_o thing_n conceive_v to_o make_v it_o either_o to_o be_v if_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a conceit_n or_o to_o be_v other_o than_o it_o be_v if_o it_o be_v existent_a but_o the_o understanding_n of_o god_n be_v by_o reason_n of_o his_o power_n so_o active_a as_o that_o it_o cause_v that_o wherein_o it_o be_v exercise_v both_o to_o be_v and_o that_o according_a to_o his_o manner_n of_o apprehension_n or_o understanding_n of_o it_o which_o understanding_n be_v by_o his_o infinitie_o so_o infinite_a and_o by_o his_o eternity_n so_o continual_a as_o that_o of_o necessity_n there_o must_v be_v a_o subsistence_n or_o a_o person_n wherein_o it_o must_v be_v exercise_v which_o must_v also_o be_v infinite_a and_o eternal_a and_o this_o be_v that_o glorious_a son_n of_o god_n who_o be_v thus_o beget_v or_o produce_v eternal_o both_o before_o the_o world_n be_v even_o as_o he_o be_v now_o and_o shall_v not_o cease_v to_o be_v produce_v after_o the_o world_n shall_v cease_v eternal_o thus_o you_o see_v two_o of_o the_o term_n speak_v of_o from_o whence_o &_o wherein_o now_o you_o must_v know_v the_o middle_a term_n between_o they_o the_o term_n whence_o be_v the_o wisdom_n intelligent_a god_n the_o father_n the_o term_n wherein_o be_v the_o wisdom_n intelligible_a god_n the_o son_n the_o middle_a term_n be_v ipsum_fw-la intelligere_fw-la which_o in_o my_o comparison_n i_o call_v the_o discomse_n itself_o which_o also_o in_o this_o must_v needs_o be_v infinite_a for_o a_o infinite_a intelligible_a can_v be_v conceive_v of_o a_o infinite_a intelligent_a but_o by_o a_o infinite_a intelligere_fw-la and_o this_o be_v that_o holy_a ghost_n which_o as_o you_o may_v easy_o understand_v must_v of_o necessity_n proceed_v from_o both_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n and_o be_v also_o infinite_a and_o eternal_a and_o therefore_o god_n now_o because_o they_o be_v all_o infinite_a and_o of_o infinite_a essential_o there_o can_v be_v but_o one_o therefore_o be_v these_o three_o in_o essence_n or_o be_v one_o but_o in_o subsistence_n or_o clear_a distinction_n of_o person_n three_o understand_v my_o comparison_n which_o i_o make_v i_o will_v yet_o clear_v the_o matter_n further_o for_o your_o conceyve_n if_o you_o take_v in_o a_o mirror_n the_o light_n of_o the_o sun_n and_o reflect_v it_o direct_o thereon_o again_o in_o the_o sun_n it_o be_v one_o in_o the_o glass_n another_o and_o yet_o the_o reflection_n of_o the_o beam_n be_v also_o a_o three_o but_o for_o all_o this_o there_o be_v but_o one_o nature_n and_o word_n of_o light_n which_o comprehend_v all_o three_o so_o be_v it_o in_o this_o tri-vnitie_n of_o which_o i_o speak_v my_o leisure_n serve_v i_o not_o to_o dilate_v these_o thing_n but_o i_o hope_v you_o be_v able_a to_o understand_v what_o i_o say_v therefore_o i_o will_v proceed_v it_o be_v say_v that_o power_n be_v know_v by_o their_o action_n and_o action_n be_v limit_v by_o their_o object_n i_o know_v the_o meaning_n of_o it_o and_o it_o be_v not_o unfit_a in_o this_o place_n but_o to_o my_o reason_n the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v infinite_a and_o by_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n he_o know_v it_o to_o be_v infinite_a but_o god_n can_v not_o know_v that_o his_o power_n be_v infinite_a unless_o he_o be_v able_a thereby_o to_o bring_v forth_o a_o infinite_a action_n and_o every_o infinite_a action_n must_v of_o necessity_n be_v exercise_v in_o a_o infinite_a subject_n for_o whatsoever_o be_v receive_v be_v receive_v according_a to_o the_o capacity_n of_o the_o receiver_n therefore_o there_o be_v a_o infinite_a subject_n wherein_o the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v exercise_v that_o be_v the_o son_n of_o who_o i_o speak_v and_o here_o again_o behold_v the_o tri-vnitie_n a_o infinite_a power_n the_o father_n a_o infinite_a action_n the_o holy_a ghost_n a_o infinite_a subject_n the_o glorious_a son_n all_o three_o one_o infinite_a be_v return_v to_o your_o comparison_n as_o the_o understanding_n of_o man_n can_v no_o way_n know_v his_o own_o power_n but_o by_o his_o action_n neither_o can_v there_o be_v any_o action_n of_o understanding_n where_o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v understand_v no_o more_o be_v it_o possible_a to_o be_v in_o the_o deity_n now_o understand_v that_o as_o i_o have_v
