particular_a consideration_n much_o be_v say_v by_o the_o schoolman_n upon_o this_o subject_a whereof_o in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o shall_v give_v a_o short_a and_o methodical_a account_n and_o then_o fix_v upon_o the_o opinion_n which_o i_o best_o approve_v of_o the_o first_o thing_n that_o i_o observe_v be_v that_o it_o be_v general_o agree_v upon_o among_o they_o that_o this_o fruition_n of_o god_n consist_v in_o some_o operation_n and_o i_o think_v with_o very_o good_a reason_n for_o as_o by_o the_o objective_a part_n of_o perfect_a happiness_n we_o understand_v that_o which_o be_v best_a and_o last_o and_o to_o which_o all_o other_o thing_n be_v to_o be_v refer_v so_o by_o the_o formal_a part_n of_o it_o must_v be_v understand_v the_o best_a and_o last_o habitude_n of_o man_n towards_o that_o best_a object_n so_o that_o the_o happiness_n may_v both_o way_n satisfy_v the_o appetite_n that_o be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o best_a thing_n and_o as_o it_o be_v the_o possession_n use_v or_o fruition_n of_o that_o best_a thing_n now_o this_o habitude_n whereby_o the_o best_a thing_n be_v perfect_o possess_v must_v needs_o be_v some_o operation_n because_o operation_n be_v the_o ultimate_a perfection_n of_o every_o be_v which_o axion_n as_o cajetan_n well_o observe_v must_v not_o be_v so_o understand_v as_o if_o operation_n take_v by_o itself_o be_v more_o perfect_a than_o the_o thing_n which_o tend_v to_o it_o but_o that_o every_o thing_n with_o its_o operation_n be_v more_o perfect_a than_o without_o it_o 17._o the_o next_o thing_n which_o i_o observe_v be_v that_o it_o be_v also_o far_o agree_v upon_o among_o they_o that_o this_o operation_n wherein_o our_o fruition_n of_o god_n do_v consist_v be_v a_o operation_n of_o the_o intellectual_a part_n and_o not_o of_o the_o sensitive_a and_o this_o also_o i_o take_v to_o be_v very_o reasonable_a first_o because_o it_o be_v general_o receive_v that_o the_o essence_n of_o god_n can_v be_v the_o object_n of_o any_o of_o our_o sense_n but_o second_o suppose_v it_o can_v yet_o since_o this_o operation_n wherein_o our_o perfect_a happiness_n do_v consist_v must_v be_v the_o perfect_a operation_n and_o since_o that_o of_o the_o intellectual_a part_n be_v more_o perfect_a than_o that_o of_o the_o sensitive_a it_o follow_v that_o the_o operation_n whereby_o we_o enjoy_v god_n must_v be_v that_o of_o the_o

therefore_o i_o shall_v take_v the_o middle_a way_n and_o resolve_v the_o perfect_a fruition_n of_o god_n partly_o into_o vision_n and_o partly_o into_o love._n these_o be_v the_o two_o arm_n with_o which_o we_o embrace_v the_o divinity_n and_o unite_v our_o soul_n to_o the_o fair_a one_o and_o the_o good_a these_o i_o conceive_v be_v both_o so_o essential_a to_o the_o perfect_a fruition_n of_o god_n that_o the_o idea_n of_o it_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v maintain_v if_o either_o of_o they_o be_v want_v for_o since_o god_n be_v both_o supreme_a truth_n and_o infinite_a goodness_n he_o

must_v consist_v in_o the_o most_o perfect_a operation_n of_o each_o faculty_n for_o if_o happiness_n do_v consist_v formal_o in_o the_o sole_a operation_n of_o the_o understanding_n as_o most_o say_v or_o in_o the_o sole_a operation_n of_o the_o will_v as_o other_o the_o man_n will_v not_o be_v complete_o and_o in_o all_o respect_v happy_a for_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a a_o man_n shall_v be_v
