in_o god_n i_o may_v appeal_v to_o experience_n for_o let_v any_o comtemplative_a person_n try_v whether_o this_o be_v not_o the_o first_o thing_n he_o conceive_v when_o he_o hear_v the_o name_n of_o god._n but_o i_o demonstrate_v it_o thus_o the_o first_o thing_n which_o be_v conceivable_a in_o god_n must_v be_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o can_v absolute_o be_v conceive_v but_o be_v itself_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o can_v absolute_o be_v conceive_v therefore_o be_v it_o self_n be_v the_o first_o thing_n which_o be_v conceivable_a in_o god._n xx._n the_o assumption_n i_o suppose_v will_v pass_v unquestioned_a with_o all_o for_o what_o can_v we_o possible_o conceive_v before_o be_v itself_o the_o proposition_n i_o prove_v thus_o god_n be_v the_o first_o or_o there_o be_v nothing_o before_o god_n and_o therefore_o the_o first_o thing_n which_o be_v conceivable_a in_o god_n must_v be_v the_o first_o thing_n that_o can_v absolute_o be_v conceive_v otherwise_o there_o will_v be_v something_o before_o god_n which_o be_v against_o the_o supposition_n the_o conclusion_n therefore_o follow_v that_o be_v itself_o be_v the_o first_o thing_n which_o be_v conceivable_a in_o god_n and_o consequent_o that_o the_o true_a idea_n god_n be_v be_v itself_o which_o be_v the_o thing_n to_o be_v prove_v the_o use_n of_o this_o to_o devotion_n if_o then_o god_n be_v be_v itself_o there_o be_v infinite_a reason_n why_o we_o shall_v love_v fear_v reverence_n and_o adore_v he_o for_o what_o a_o enlarge_a indeterminate_a transcendental_a universalized_a thing_n be_v be_v

the_o great_a contrariety_n to_o nothing_o the_o steady_a and_o inmost_a support_n and_o establishment_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o have_v be_v and_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o that_o can_v be_v it_o be_v a_o ocean_n without_o a_o shore_n a_o depth_n without_o a_o bottom_n in_o short_a it_o be_v such_o a_o immense_a amplitude_n as_o a_o man_n can_v due_o think_v of_o without_o the_o profound_a

with_o the_o light_n of_o thy_o glory_n and_o return_n to_o the_o familiarity_n of_o her_o own_o darkness_n not_o because_o she_o choose_v it_o but_o because_o she_o be_v weary_a o_o sovereign_a greatness_n how_o be_o i_o impoverish_v how_o be_o i_o contract_v how_o be_o i_o annihilate_v in_o thy_o presence_n thou_o only_o be_v i_o be_o not_o thou_o be_v all_o i_o be_o nothing_o but_o it_o be_v well_o o_o my_o god_n that_o i_o be_o nothing_o so_o thou_o be_v all_o it_o be_v well_o i_o be_o not_o in_o myself_o so_o i_o be_o in_o thou_o o_o be_v itself_o it_o be_v in_o thou_o that_o i_o

from_o the_o precede_a general_a idea_n of_o god._n i._o from_o the_o essence_n of_o thing_n slow_a all_o their_o attribute_n and_o perfection_n have_v therefore_o in_o the_o precede_a contemplation_n fix_v the_o essence_n and_o idea_n of_o god_n in_o be_v itself_o i_o shall_v now_o in_o the_o first_o place_n hence_o deduce_v that_o he_o be_v a_o be_v absolute_o perfect_a this_o have_v be_v hitherto_o take_v for_o the_o very_a formal_a conception_n and_o idea_n of_o god_n and_o according_o have_v be_v make_v the_o ultimate_a ground_n and_o foundation_n to_o prove_v all_o his_o other_o perfection_n but_o have_v rather_o be_v suppose_v than_o prove_v itself_o but_o now_o i_o make_v this_o the_o first_o general_a attribute_n of_o god_n to_o be_v a_o be_v absolute_o perfect_a the_o proof_n and_o deduction_n of_o which_o from_o his_o idea_n be_v the_o concern_v of_o the_o present_a contemplation_n ii_o let_v we_o therefore_o reassume_v the_o idea_n of_o god_n which_o if_o we_o attend_v to_o we_o shall_v discern_v that_o absolute_a perfection_n be_v virtual_o involve_v in_o it_o and_o consequent_o that_o god_n be_v a_o be_v absolute_o perfect_a the_o idea_n of_o god_n as_o we_o have_v show_v be_v be_v itself_o now_o i_o consider_v in_o the_o first_o place_n that_o be_v itself_o contain_v in_o it_o all_o the_o degree_n of_o be_v and_o consequent_o all_o possible_a perfection_n the_o argument_n in_o form_n run_v thus_o whatever_o have_v all_o the_o degree_n of_o be_v have_v all_o perfection_n but_o be_v itself_o have_v all_o the_o degree_n of_o be_v therefore_o be_v itself_o have_v all_o perfection_n iii_o the_o proof_n of_o the_o first_o proposition_n will_v depend_v upon_o this_o that_o perfection_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o degree_n of_o be_v if_o this_o be_v once_o make_v out_o than_o it_o plain_o follow_v that_o whatever_o have_v all_o the_o degree_n of_o be_v have_v all_o perfection_n now_o to_o prove_v that_o perfection_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o degree_n of_o be_v i_o consider_v first_o that_o all_o perfection_n be_v by_o addition_n for_o the_o more_o perfect_a any_o thing_n be_v the_o more_o it_o have_v but_o now_o all_o addition_n be_v by_o the_o accession_n of_o something_o that_o real_o be_v for_o nothing_o though_o never_o so_o often_o repeat_v will_v add_v nothing_o and_o therefore_o perfection_n be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o further_a degree_n of_o be_v iv._o this_o i_o confirm_v by_o consider_v further_o that_o every_o thing_n be_v perfect_a just_a so_o far_o as_o it_o be_v and_o according_a to_o the_o mode_n of_o be_v so_o be_v the_o mode_n of_o perfection_n thus_o virtue_n be_v no_o otherwise_o the_o perfection_n of_o a_o man_n than_o as_o he_o be_v virtuous_a nor_o strength_n than_o as_o he_o be_v strong_a and_o so_o in_o all_o other_o instance_n according_a as_o any_o thing_n be_v so_o be_v its_o perfection_n and_o so_o on_o the_o contrary_a all_o imperfection_n be_v want_v of_o be_v and_o every_o thing_n be_v just_a so_o far_o imperfect_a as_o it_o be_v not_o some_o way_n or_o other_o now_o if_o every_o thing_n be_v so_o far_o perfect_a or_o imperfect_a respective_o as_o it_o either_o be_v or_o be_v not_o than_o it_o clear_o follow_v that_o perfection_n itself_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o degree_n of_o be_v v._o again_o i_o consider_v that_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o perfection_n shall_v be_v any_o thing_n else_o but_o degree_n of_o be_v for_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o world_n but_o be_v if_o therefore_o one_o thing_n be_v more_o perfect_a than_o another_o it_o must_v be_v it_o can_v be_v for_o no_o other_o reason_n but_o because_o it_o have_v more_o degree_n of_o be_v there_o not_o be_v any_o thing_n else_o whereby_o it_o may_v exceed_v for_o i_o think_v the_o case_n be_v here_o as_o in_o number_n one_o number_n exc_v another_o not_o by_o any_o virtue_n or_o quality_n of_o another_o kind_n but_o only_o by_o the_o multiplication_n of_o the_o same_o unit_v and_o so_o one_o be_v exceed_v or_o be_v more_o perfect_a than_o another_o
