upon_o the_o condition_n of_o our_o nature_n for_o man_n be_v a_o corporal_a creature_n must_v honour_v god_n according_a to_o his_o nature_n after_o a_o corporal_a manner_n angel_n only_o by_o

to_o there_o nature_n must_v honour_v he_o spiritual_o with_o inward_a act_n of_o mind_n and_o corporal_o with_o outward_a action_n of_o the_o body_n and_o therefore_o we_o pray_v not_o only_o by_o spiritual_a and_o mental_a prayer_n as_o the_o angel_n do_v but_o also_o with_o vocal_a word_n and_o use_v ceremony_n to_o signify_v outward_o our_o inward_a reverence_n to_o the_o mystery_n which_o be_v signify_v by_o they_o so_o that_o ceremony_n be_v in_o virtue_n and_o effect_n word_n be_v altogether_o as_o proper_a sign_n and_o indeed_o more_o natural_a to_o express_v our_o affection_n than_o word_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n have_v assume_v the_o nature_n of_o man_n by_o humane_a action_n glorify_v his_o father_n not_o only_o spiritual_o with_o his_o mind_n but_o also_o corporal_o with_o his_o body_n by_o word_n and_o ceremony_n when_o he_o pray_v sometime_o lift_v up_o his_o hand_n sometime_o his_o eye_n sometime_o kneel_v and_o prostrate_v himself_o and_o he_o iustify_v the_o
