The Major is grounded on a thing infinite, which is such as it cannot be passed over, so as to come to the end ⟨p. 28⟩of it. Answers to this Argument I have met with many, but such as are either apparently impertinent, or else do plainly yield the cause; of this there will be little doubt, by any that shall read over the Discourse of Gishertus Voetius de visione Dei per essentiam; for in that Discourse, the Answers to this Argument are out of various Authors, recited and replied unto, and that to satisfaction.
A second Conclusion I lay down is this, 1This immediate intuitive Vision is not therefore to be denied, because there are some Arguments against it which we know not how to answer, for there are Arguments for it, which carry in them great probability, and will difficultly be solved, and the state of bliss is such, as eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor did ever yet enter into the heart of man.
