thou_o must_v understand_v that_o all_o disobedience_n deserve_v excommunication_n and_o chief_o when_o a_o man_n have_v be_v admonish_v three_o time_n according_a to_o the_o order_n give_v by_o

i_o will_v glad_o understand_v two_o little_a point_n of_o thou_o which_o moses_n make_v mention_n of_o 24._o daniel_n what_o be_v those_o point_n timothy_n the_o first_o be_v how_o that_o god_n

and_o divinity_n 3._o on_o the_o other_o side_n s._n paul_n and_o s._n stephen_n do_v plain_o testify_v that_o the_o law_n be_v give_v by_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n in_o general_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o man_n and_o creature_n and_o of_o his_o special_a presence_n towards_o his_o servant_n d._n there_o be_v no_o great_a difficulty_n in_o these_o question_n for_o albéeit_n god_n do_v fill_v both_o heaven_n and_o earth_n through_o his_o divinity_n yet_o notwithstanding_o for_o so_o much_o as_o he_o do_v not_o always_o declare_v his_o majesty_n his_o power_n his_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n so_o manifest_o and_o familiar_o in_o one_o place_n as_o in_o a_o other_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o condescend_v and_o agree_v to_o our_o grossness_n do_v oftentimes_o attribute_v that_o unto_o god_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o man_n to_o declare_v unto_o we_o the_o more_o plain_o and_o familiar_o his_o presence_n and_o assistance_n there_o be_v no_o

such_o a_o show_v of_o his_o presence_n that_o he_o do_v there_o descend_v of_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n which_o be_v hear_v by_o man_n and_o of_o his_o law_n give_v by_o the_o angel_n t._n and_o what_o say_v thou_o concern_v the_o other_o point_n d._n albeit_o that_o god_n have_v no_o body_n as_o concern_v his_o divine_a essence_n or_o be_v nor_o voice_n like_o unto_o the_o voice_n of_o man_n so_o be_v it_o notwithstanding_o a_o easy_a matter_n for_o he_o to_o who_o nothing_o be_v impossible_a to_o make_v himself_o a_o voice_n and_o to_o take_v such_o form_n and_o likeness_n as_o please_v

be_v no_o inconvenient_a to_o say_v that_o the_o law_n which_o god_n give_v be_v give_v by_o angel_n for_o so_o much_o as_o god_n be_v serve_v by_o their_o ministry_n in_o the_o give_n of_o it_o and_o
