_out_ into act. So
that _Energie_ depends alwayes on essence, as _Lumen_ on _Lux_, or the
creature on God; Whom therefore Synesius in his Hymnes calls the Centre
of all things.

_Faith._ _Platonick faith in the first Good._ This faith is excellently
described in Proclus, where it is set above all ratiocination, nay,
Intellect it self. +Pros de au to agathon ou gnoseos eti kai sunergeias
dei tois sunaphthenai speudousin, all' hidruseos kai monimou katastaseos
kai eremias.+ _But to them that endeavour to be joyned with the first
Good, there is no need of knowledge or multifarious cooperation, but
settlednesse, steddinesse, and rest._ lib. 1. cap. 24. Theolog. Platon.
And in the next chapter; +Dei gar ou gnostikos oud' atelos to agathon
epizetein, all' epidontas heautous toi theioi photi kai musantas, houtos
enidruesthai tei agnostoi kai kruphioi ton onton henadi.+ _For we must
not seek after that absolute or first Good cognoscitively or
imperfectly, but giving our selves up to the divine light, and winking_
(that is shutting our eyes of reason and understanding) _so to place our
selves steddily in that hidden Unitie of all things_. After he preferres
this faith before the clear and present assent to the +koinai ennoiai+,
yea and the +noera haplotes+, so that he will not that any intellectuall
operation should come in comparison with it. +Polueides gar haite kai
di' heterotetos chorizomene ton nooumenon, kai holos kinesis esti noera
peri to noeton. Dei de ten theian pistin henoeide kai eremon huparchein
en toi tes agathotetos hormoi teleios hidrutheisan.+ _For the operation
of the Intellect is multiform and by diversitie separate from her
objects, and is in a word, intellectuall motion about the object
intelligible. But the divine faith must be simple and uniform, quiet and
steddily resting in the haven of Goodnesse._ And at last he summarily
concludes, +Esti oun houtos hormos asphales ton onton hapanton.+ See
Procl. Theolog. Platonick. lib. 1. cap. 25.

_Intellect._ Sometimes it is to be interpreted _Soul_. Sometime the
intellectuall facultie of the soul. Sometimes Intellect is an absolute
essence shining into the soul: whose nature is this. A substance purely
immateriall, impeccable, actually omniform, or comprehending all things
at once, which the soul doth also being perfectly joyned with the
Intellect. +Echomen oun kai ta eide d
