and_o in_o what_o state_n it_o shall_v be_v find_v at_o the_o departure_n from_o the_o body_n in_o the_o same_o it_o shall_v be_v judge_v either_o to_o reign_v eternal_o with_o god_n or_o

the_o high_a by_o the_o dignity_n of_o his_o nature_n 1._o for_o thing_n the_o more_o pure_a and_o more_o abstract_n from_o matter_n be_v ever_o the_o more_o noble_a and_o high_a this_o we_o see_v first_o in_o corporal_a thing_n water_n be_v more_o high_a than_o earth_n because_o more_o pure_a and_o by_o the_o same_o reason_n air_n be_v high_a than_o water_n because_o more_o pure_a and_o the_o fire_n then_o the_o air_n and_o heaven_n then_o fire_n again_o we_o see_v it_o in_o spiritual_a thing_n the_o understanding_n be_v high_a than_o sense_n because_o the_o sense_n have_v a_o corporal_a organ_n which_o the_o understanding_n need_v not_o and_o the_o angelicast_a understanding_n be_v high_a than_o man_n because_o a_o man_n have_v need_v of_o the_o office_n of_o imagination_n and_o fantasy_n which_o a_o angel_n need_v not_o and_o among_o the_o angel_n they_o be_v high_a who_o understand_v most_o thing_n by_o few_o species_n god_n therefore_o who_o only_o be_v pure_a act_n and_o want_v nothing_o without_o himself_o neither_o organ_n nor_o imagination_n nor_o species_n nor_o so_o much_o as_o the_o presence_n of_o any_o object_n without_o himself_o but_o his_o own_o essence_n be_v all_o thing_n to_o he_o and_o can_v have_v nothing_o that_o he_o have_v not_o in_o act_n and_o for_o he_o to_o have_v in_o act_n be_v to_o be_v always_o pure_a act_n and_o uncompound_v therefore_o i_o say_v be_v his_o nature_n the_o most_o transcendent_a high_a and_o sublime_a neither_o can_v it_o by_o any_o mean_n be_v equal_v he_o than_o which_o say_v i_o will_v be_v like_o the_o most_o high_a 19_o be_v sudden_o thrust_v down_o to_o hell_n and_o as_o our_o saviour_n say_v i_o see_v satanfall_n down_o from_o heaven_n 18._o like_o lightning_n 2._o second_o god_n be_v most_o high_a in_o another_o respect_n because_o he_o be_v the_o 1_o first_fw-mi high_v efficient_a 2_o exemplary_a and_o 3_o final_a cause_n of_o all_o thing_n 1._o he_o be_v the_o first_o high_v

from_o none_o 2._o again_o there_o be_v no_o cause_n which_o can_v exercise_v its_o power_n unless_o it_o be_v move_v by_o god_n but_o god_n be_v move_v of_o none_o 3._o last_o those_o be_v call_v high_a cause_n among_o create_a thing_n upon_o which_o particular_a cause_n depend_v and_o which_o be_v universal_a as_o the_o heaven_n and_o angel_n which_o move_v the_o heaven_n but_o god_n make_v both_o heaven_n and_o angel_n and_o therefore_o he_o be_v the_o only_a first_o and_o most_o high_a efficient_a cause_n 2_o he_o be_v also_o the_o first_o exemplary_a cause_n because_o he_o make_v all_o thing_n according_a to_o the_o form_n and_o idea_n which_o he_o have_v in_o himself_o 3_o last_o he_o be_v the_o first_o final_a cause_n because_o he_o create_v all_o thing_n for_o himself_o that_o be_v to_o manifest_v his_o glory_n as_o the_o wiseman_n speak_v 4._o but_o it_o be_v very_o proper_o say_v that_o god_n be_v the_o most_o high_a 1._o because_o he_o sit_v in_o the_o high_a throne_n i_o see_v say_v isaiah_n the_o lord_n sit_v upon_o a_o high_a throne_n and_o lift_v up_o now_o because_o sit_v or_o seat_n have_v two_o use_n one_o for_o judicature_n and_o the_o other_o for_o peaceable_a govern_n we_o will_v consider_v they_o apart_o 1._o god_n have_v the_o high_a seat_n because_o he_o be_v supreme_a judge_n for_o abraham_n say_v to_o god_n shall_v not_o the_o

say_v david_n again_o god_n be_v the_o 8._o judge_n and_o isaiah_n the_o lord_n be_v our_o judge_n the_o lord_n be_v our_o 23._o lawgiver_n he_o only_o give_v law_n to_o all_o man_n and_o receive_v of_o none_o he_o judge_v all_o man_n and_o be_v judge_v of_o none_o 2._o again_o god_n be_v not_o only_o a_o judge_n but_o be_v also_o a_o king_n and_o in_o this_o regard_n judge_v not_o as_o a_o judge_n appoint_v by_o the_o king_n but_o as_o king_n and_o chief_a prince_n of_o which_o he_o be_v style_v king_n of_o king_n and_o a_o great_a king_n 12._o above_o all_o god_n and_o he_o be_v terrible_a to_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n because_o that_o when_o he_o please_v he_o translate_v kingdom_n and_o empire_n from_o one_o nation_n to_o another_o and_o when_o he_o please_v he_o take_v away_o the_o spirit_n of_o prince_n 3_o last_o god_n be_v not_o only_o the_o supreme_a judge_n and_o king_n but_o be_v absolute_a lord_n which_o be_v the_o great_a title_n of_o all_o god_n be_v

nothing_o consider_v then_o what_o fear_n what_o reverence_n be_v due_a by_o we_o worm_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o he_o who_o sit_v upon_o so_o high_a a_o seat_n as_o that_o he_o have_v nothing_o above_o he_o if_o i_o be_v lord_n say_v 6._o god_n by_o malachi_n where_o be_v my_o fear_n and_o if_o those_o supreme_a prince_n of_o heaven_n do_v stand_v by_o he_o with_o such_o fear_n and_o tremble_a what_o ought_v we_o to_o do_v who_o be_v mortal_a and_o frail_a and_o dwell_v upon_o the_o earth_n with_o beast_n but_o this_o seem_v strange_a that_o the_o high_a god_n love_v not_o creature_n like_v to_o himself_o that_o be_v high_a and_o sublime_a but_o humble_a and_o poor_a for_o so_o god_n speak_v by_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n to_o he_o will_v i_o look_v even_o to_o he_o 2._o that_o be_v poor_a and_o of_o a_o contrite_a spirit_n and_o tremble_v at_o my_o word_n and_o king_n david_n though_o the_o lord_n be_v high_a yet_o have_v he_o 6._o respect_n unto_o the_o lowly_a and_o yet_o i_o will_v not_o say_v but_o god_n love_v high_a thing_n and_o in_o this_o respect_n like_o to_o himself_o so_o they_o be_v true_o high_a not_o which_o seem_v so_o and_o be_v not_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v that_o god_n love_v not_o the_o proud_a who_o be_v lift_v and_o puff_v up_o and_o be_v not_o to_o be_v call_v sublime_a but_o he_o love_v the_o humble_a and_o those_o which_o tremble_v at_o his_o word_n because_o that_o they_o the_o more_o they_o abase_v and_o deject_v themselves_o be_v the_o more_o exalt_v by_o he_o and_o they_o which_o be_v exalt_v by_o he_o be_v true_o

their_o just_a reward_n be_v faithful_a in_o all_o his_o word_n 4_o last_o he_o can_v die_v be_v immortal_a and_o all_o thing_n live_v to_o he_o so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o danger_n that_o any_o
