§. 9. Here the M. S. citeth some words of his Gibieuf, making our Being in God initially, and finally to be our state of amplitude and liberty, and our going out from God, to be our particularity and state of necessity; as if we were pre-existent in God, and our individuation ceased upon o•• return into him as our End.
