first_o argument_n of_o the_o nine_o precious_a stone_n of_o the_o king_n of_o tyrus_n it_o be_v nothing_o but_o folly_n for_o what_o though_o he_o be_v compare_v to_o angel_n in_o glory_n because_o his_o garment_n be_v full_a of_o precious_a stone_n do_v it_o therefore_o follow_v that_o as_o many_o kind_n of_o stone_n as_o be_v in_o his_o gown_n so_o many_o order_n there_o shall_v be_v of_o angel_n if_o i_o see_v a_o man_n clothe_v in_o rich_fw-fr colour_n and_o many_o jewel_n about_o he_o so_o that_o i_o will_v say_v he_o shine_v like_o the_o sun_n must_v it_o needs_o follow_v that_o as_o many_o colour_n as_o be_v about_o he_o so_o many_o colour_n be_v in_o the_o sun_n but_o the_o thing_n be_v all_o false_a the_o king_n be_v not_o compare_v there_o to_o angel_n but_o because_o the_o cherubim_n that_o cover_v the_o mercy_n seat_n be_v of_o beat_a gold_n and_o excellent_a woorkemanshipp_n with_o they_o that_o king_n be_v compare_v and_o call_v the_o cover_n and_o the_o anoint_a cherub_n so_o that_o the_o nine_o precious_a stone_n must_v be_v nine_o order_n of_o cherubim_n upon_o the_o mercy_n seat_n or_o nine_o order_n of_o clothing_n now_o where_o they_o say_v there_o be_v nine_o several_a name_n of_o they_o therefore_o nine_o order_n first_o that_o be_v false_a for_o here_o the_o apostle_n out_o of_o the_o prophet_n allege_v two_o name_n more_o spirit_n and_o flame_a fire_n they_o be_v call_v in_o job_n the_o son_n of_o god_n so_o by_o this_o account_n there_o must_v be_v twelve_o order_n of_o angel_n or_o if_o they_o will_v say_v these_o name_n be_v common_a to_o all_o angel_n so_o be_v i_o be_o sure_a the_o name_n angel_n which_o yet_o they_o make_v one_o particular_a order_n therefore_o if_o the_o community_n of_o the_o name_n take_v away_o the_o particular_a order_n then_o be_v there_o but_o eight_o order_n if_o not_o then_o be_v there_o twelve_o but_o touch_v these_o name_n it_o be_v no_o doubt_n they_o be_v so_o name_v according_a

they_o be_v now_o as_o s._n paul_n say_v past_o sorrow_n for_o their_o sin_n &_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o 2._o to_o the_o roman_n they_o have_v a_o heart_n y_fw-es can_v repent_v so_o say_v s._n

here_o to_o consider_v be_v with_o what_o mind_n they_o do_v commit_v this_o great_a sin_n which_o here_o the_o apostle_n set_v out_o with_o these_o word_n they_o crucify_v again_o unto_o themselves_o

again_o with_o all_o opprobry_n and_o shame_n &_o where_o it_o be_v say_v they_o do_v this_o unto_o themselves_o it_o note_v how_o desirous_o &_o willing_o &_o with_o what_o consent_n of_o mind_n they_o do_v it_o even_o so_o as_o they_o will_v again_o have_v the_o cross_n of_o christ_n a_o mock_a stock_n in_o the_o world_n thus_o their_o own_o conscience_n be_v their_o accuser_n of_o most_o
