THe Kingdome of Necessity is said to be before that of Love.* 1.1 Every Creature consists of two Natures, Materiall, the imperfect, (which we here understand by Necessity) and Formall, the oc∣casion of perfection. That whereof it most partakes is said to be predominant, and the Creature to be subject to it. Hence is Ne∣cessity (matter) suppos'd to raigne when the Ideas were imper∣fect,
and all imperfections to happen during that time; all per∣fections after Love began his reign; for, when the Minde was by him converted to God; that which before was imperfect in her, was perfected.
