1Intelligent.) 1. Because he is the cause both of the mind of man, and of the notions shining in it, and also of that order which is in the nature of things and Common-weals. 2. Because all intelligence or understanding of the creature cometh from him both in respect of the faculty, as also in respect of the operation: For neither can the efficient and preserving cause of intelligent natures, and of the understanding it self and order in nature, be but intelligent and understanding. And therefore the holy Scripture also reasoneth on this wise; He that planted the ear, shall he not hear? 2or he that made the eye, shall he not see? Now this we are to hold against those, who setting Nature in the place of God, imagine the world, and the variety and order of things in it to arise from the matter, and the inclination thereof to this form: when as notwithstanding these things could not have their being from a cause not intelligent. We are to hold it also, thereby to acknowledge not only true knowledge it self; but also all ability of understanding, and the sagacity and capability of the senses and mind to perceive to be the gift of God
