must_v needs_o be_v most_o admirable_a divine_a and_o excellent_a david_n speak_v of_o the_o glory_n that_o man_n once_o have_v and_o in_o admiration_n of_o it_o be_v not_o able_a to_o contain_v

the_o angel_n show_v that_o the_o chief_a glory_n of_o man_n in_o their_o best_a estate_n be_v inferior_a to_o the_o excellent_a condition_n of_o angel_n yea_o further_o it_o be_v a_o part_n of_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n to_o be_v attend_v of_o they_o and_o a_o part_n of_o our_o glory_n after_o the_o resurrection_n to_o be_v like_o they_o whence_o note_v the_o scope_n of_o the_o apostle_n which_o be_v hence_o to_o teach_v we_o that_o no_o glory_n beauty_n or_o excellency_n of_o the_o creature_n can_v exempt_v it_o from_o the_o punishment_n of_o sin_n when_o it_o fall_v thereinto_o nay_o the_o more_o glorious_a the_o sinful_a creature_n be_v the_o more_o grievous_a punishment_n may_v it_o expect_v if_o sin_n be_v find_v therein_o as_o the_o angel_n here_o which_o may_v

be_v say_v as_o the_o woman_n of_o tekoah_n say_v of_o david_n 2._o sam._n 14.17_o my_o lord_n be_v as_o a_o angel_n of_o god_n to_o hear_v good_a and_o bad_a and_o they_o be_v the_o angel_n of_o the_o lord_n of_o host_n malac._n 2.7_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o let_v they_o not_o be_v puff_v up_o hereby_o but_o walk_v in_o fear_n and_o tremble_a not_o embolden_v themselves_o to_o sin_n for_o be_v it_o they_o be_v as_o the_o angel_n in_o gift_n yet_o if_o they_o sin_n they_o shall_v be_v as_o angel_n in_o punishment_n also_o second_o hence_o note_v that_o angel_n be_v substance_n though_o invisible_a have_v be_v life_n sense_n and_o understanding_n and_o be_v not_o only_a quality_n for_o pure_a quality_n neither_o can_v sin_v nor_o be_v capable_a of_o punishment_n as_o the_o angel_n be_v here_o say_v to_o be_v ob._n it_o will_v be_v say_v see_v they_o be_v capable_a of_o punishment_n they_o must_v be_v bodily_a substance_n ans._n no_o it_o be_v sufficient_a they_o be_v substance_n to_o be_v capable_a of_o punishment_n though_o spiritual_a for_o the_o punishment_n of_o hell_n be_v spiritual_a where_o we_o see_v the_o sadducee_n and_o other_o even_o of_o our_o day_n be_v deceive_v who_o think_v angel_n to_o be_v nothing_o but_o motion_n and_o melancholy_a passion_n and_o the_o libertine_n also_o who_o think_v they_o be_v nothing_o but_o good_a and_o bad_a success_n three_o 2.10_o the_o name_n angel_n be_v not_o a_o name_n of_o nature_n but_o of_o office_n which_o signify_v that_o their_o office_n be_v to_o be_v the_o messenger_n of_o god_n who_o be_v to_o stand_v round_o about_o he_o as_o attendant_n ready_a to_o be_v send_v forth_o at_o his_o pleasure_n for_o the_o execution_n of_o his_o will_n in_o all_o the_o part_n of_o the_o world_n in_o which_o function_n of_o they_o they_o be_v propound_v pattern_n to_o we_o and_o example_n for_o our_o imitation_n who_o ought_v according_o to_o set_v ourselves_o ever_o in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n as_o press_v and_o ready_a to_o perform_v his_o will_n for_o so_o we_o pray_v daily_o let_v thy_o will_n be_v do_v in_o earth_n as_o it_o be_v in_o heaven_n that_o be_v give_v we_o grace_v with_o cheerfulness_n and_o readiness_n to_o perform_v thy_o will_n here_o on_o earth_n as_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n do_v for_o whosoever_o will_v be_v like_o the_o angel_n in_o heaven_n must_v

observe_v the_o distinction_n of_o angel_n of_o which_o some_o keep_v their_o first_o estate_n other_o of_o which_o he_o here_o speak_v leave_v their_o first_o condition_n some_o stand_v and_o some_o

any_o man_n say_v it_o be_v because_o god_n foresee_v that_o some_o will_v fall_v and_o other_o will_v stand_v i_o answer_v that_o be_v no_o cause_n for_o god_n do_v not_o only_o foresee_v the_o fall_n of_o some_o but_o decree_v also_o before_o all_o world_n to_o confirm_v some_o in_o their_o state_n and_o to_o pass_v by_o other_o in_o his_o justice_n so_o as_o the_o cause_n shall_v ever_o rest_v in_o his_o good_a will_n which_o will_v the_o same_o make_v it_o most_o just_a not_o give_v we_o any_o leave_n otherwise_o to_o dispute_v of_o this_o doctrine_n or_o curious_o to_o search_v out_o the_o secret_n of_o it_o but_o rather_o to_o stand_v in_o admiration_n and_o say_v with_o paul_n o_o the_o depth_n of_o the_o riches_n both_o of_o the_o wisdom_n and_o knowledge_n of_o god_n 11.33_o how_o unsearchable_a be_v his_o judgement_n and_o his_o way_n past_o find_v out_o now_o follow_v the_o second_o point_n namely_o the_o fall_n of_o the_o angel_n in_o which_o observe_v three_o

leave_v their_o habitation_n themselves_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o own_o fall_n which_o be_v thus_o prove_v either_o god_n must_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o sin_n or_o man_n or_o themselves_o but_o neither_o god_n nor_o man_n and_o therefore_o themselves_o first_o god_n can_v be_v the_o cause_n for_o that_o be_v injustice_n to_o condemn_v they_o for_o that_o which_o himself_o cause_v how_o unrighteous_a be_v it_o first_o to_o cause_v they_o to_o fall_v and_o then_o to_o punish_v they_o for_o fall_v object_n but_o it_o will_v be_v say_v that_o god_n do_v foresee_v their_o fall_n and_o may_v have_v prevent_v it_o and_o so_o not_o hinder_v it_o he_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o cause_n of_o it_o ans._n whosoever_o forsee_v a_o evil_a and_o hinder_v it_o not_o when_o he_o may_v be_v accessary_a unto_o it_o so_o be_v he_o be_v bind_v to_o hinder_v it_o but_o god_n be_v not_o bind_v to_o hinder_v it_o be_v a_o most_o absolute_a lord_n not_o bind_v to_o any_o of_o his_o creature_n further_o than_o he_o bind_v himself_o ob._n but_o god_n do_v not_o confirm_v they_o in_o that_o grace_n which_o he_o give_v they_o whereupon_o they_o fall_v whereas_o if_o he_o have_v confirm_v they_o they_o have_v stand_v whence_o carnal_a reason_n conclude_v god_n to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o fall_n answ._n god_n give_v they_o grace_n in_o create_v they_o righteous_a but_o confirm_v they_o not_o therein_o he_o give_v they_o a_o power_n to_o will_v to_o persevere_v but_o give_v they_o not_o the_o will_v not_o perseverance_n itself_o and_o yet_o he_o be_v not_o to_o be_v blame_v because_o he_o will_v not_o do_v it_o quest._n why_o will_v he_o not_o ans._n i_o answer_v with_o the_o apostle_n what_o be_v thou_o o_o man_n that_o dispute_a with_o god_n 2d_o let_v we_o without_o further_a reason_a stay_v ourselves_o in_o these_o two_o conclusion_n first_o that_o god_n be_v a_o absolute_a lord_n neither_o bound_n to_o any_o action_n neither_o to_o give_v reason_n of_o any_o second_o that_o he_o do_v all_o to_o the_o glory_n of_o his_o name_n in_o the_o manifestation_n of_o his_o mercy_n and_o justice_n second_o as_o god_n be_v no_o cause_n or_o author_n of_o this_o fall_n of_o angel_n no_o more_o be_v man_n for_o the_o angel_n fall_v first_o and_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o man_n fall_n and_o therefore_o themselves_o be_v the_o proper_a cause_n of_o their_o own_o fall_n qu._n how_o can_v this_o be_v ans._n the_o angel_n have_v in_o themselves_o the_o proper_a cause_n and_o beginning_n of_o their_o own_o fall_n and_o that_o be_v a_o free_a &_o flexible_a will_n whereby_o for_o the_o present_a they_o will_v that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o may_v will_v to_o persevere_v in_o it_o but_o that_o will_v be_v mutable_a they_o may_v also_o will_v evil_a and_o
