PLato (a) durst not] In his Timaeus. The father of the vniuerse, seeing the beauty of it, and the formes of the eternall goddes, approued it, and reioyced. (b) Expelled from all] Iames, 1. 17. in whom is no variablenes, nor shadowing by turning. Hierome (contra Iouin.) reades it, in whome is no difference or shadowing by moment. Augustine vseth moment also whether re∣ferring it to time, or quality, I know not. For neyther retyres at all from his light to a shadow, nor is any the least shadow intermixt with his light. Momentum is also a turning, a conuersion or a changeable motion, comming of moueo to moue: it is also an inclination, as in balances. This place may meane that God entertaines no vicissitude or passe from contrary to contrary, as * 1.1 we doe. (c) Plato] Let vs see (saith hee) What made the Worldes Creator go about so huge a worke: Truly hee excelled in honesty, and honesty enuyeth not any m•…•…an, and therefore hee made all things like him-selfe, beeing the iustest cause of their originall.
