i_o answer_v that_o the_o angel_n can_v create_v they_o out_o of_o nothing_o for_o that_o be_v only_a god_n work_n and_o therefore_o they_o have_v they_o from_o god_n who_o do_v either_o create_v they_o out_o of_o nothing_o or_o else_o do_v make_v they_o out_o of_o matter_n preexistent_a as_o the_o locust_n in_o the_o former_a trumpet_n out_o of_o smoke_n v_o 3._o and_o if_o it_o be_v ask_v again_o what_o become_v of_o these_o body_n when_o they_o lay_v they_o down_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o they_o return_v into_o their_o former_a principle_n again_o and_o in_o case_n they_o be_v

these_o body_n afterward_o this_o be_v certain_a out_o of_o scripture_n that_o the_o angel_n can_v assume_v they_o and_o lay_v they_o down_o again_o for_o they_o have_v do_v so_o heretofore_o and_o therefore_o they_o may_v do_v so_o again_o in_o the_o case_n that_o be_v now_o before_o we_o 6._o the_o angel_n can_v make_v use_n of_o live_a body_n that_o be_v before_o create_v and_o leave_v they_o

not_o say_v that_o there_o be_v as_o many_o angel_n employ_v in_o this_o work_n as_o there_o be_v horseman_n mention_v v_o 16._o but_o four_o angel_n beside_o the_o angel_n that_o do_v sound_v this_o
