god_n only_o to_o be_v without_o beginning_n so_o it_o belong_v to_o god_n only_o to_o be_v without_o change_n or_o shadow_n of_o change_n and_o that_o the_o angel_n as_o creature_n be_v reduceable_a to_o nothing_o by_o the_o same_o hand_n that_o make_v they_o so_o as_o though_o there_o be_v no_o passive_a principle_n in_o they_o by_o which_o they_o may_v be_v call_v corruptible_a or_o mortal_a

be_v his_o essence_n which_o be_v the_o efficient_a final_a and_o exemplary_a cause_n of_o all_o thing_n so_o the_o angel_n by_o those_o many_o universal_a species_n which_o be_v put_v into_o they_o
