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 yet_o in_o respect_n of_o a_o active_a power_n of_o god_n upon_o which_o their_o be_v and_o life_n depend_v they_o may_v be_v call_v corruptible_a and_o mortal_a because_o as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o creator_n that_o thing_n be_v so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o power_n of_o the_o creator_n that_o they_o may_v not_o be_v yea_o so_o much_o they_o be_v in_o god_n hand_n though_o the_o

cause_n and_o not_o of_o the_o remote_a and_o outward_a cause_n as_o man_n be_v not_o call_v the_o child_n of_o the_o sun_n though_o sol_n &_o homo_fw-la generate_fw-la hominem_fw-la but_o of_o their_o parent_n so_o as_o the_o angel_n may_v proper_o be_v call_v incorruptible_a and_o immortal_a because_o they_o be_v so_o by_o nature_n i_o speak_v not_o now_o of_o the_o changeablenesse_n of_o their_o will_n but_o of_o their_o nature_n and_o substance_n the_o reason_n be_v first_o because_o the_o angel_n be_v not_o produce_v out_o of_o the_o power_n of_o any_o matter_n as_o corporal_a substance_n and_o the_o soul_n of_o beast_n but_o be_v produce_v only_o by_o the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o as_o they_o have_v no_o internal_a principle_n of_o be_v so_o have_v they_o none_o of_o dissolution_n for_o there_o be_v the_o same_o reason_n of_o be_v and_o not_o be_v second_o angelical_a nature_n as_o the_o soul_n also_o of_o man_n be_v not_o compound_v of_o matter_n &_o form_n but_o be_v simple_a form_n and_o substance_n subsist_v by_o themselves_o now_o all_o corruption_n mortality_n and_o death_n be_v by_o the_o separation_n of_o the_o form_n from_o the_o matter_n as_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o body_n which_o be_v corruption_n or_o death_n or_o when_o the_o accidental_a form_n be_v separate_v from_o the_o subject_n as_o white_a from_o the_o wall_n or_o health_n from_o the_o man_n now_o what_o ever_o want_v matter_n be_v incorruptible_a because_o there_o be_v no_o composition_n and_o so_o no_o separation_n but_o the_o scripture_n conclude_v this_o best_a in_o assimulate_v the_o state_n of_o immortality_n in_o which_o we_o shall_v be_v to_o the_o angel_n this_o be_v the_o three_o consideration_n we_o make_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n that_o they_o be_v immutable_a four_o we_o will_v consider_v of_o the_o apparition_n of_o angel_n of_o which_o we_o hear_v so_o frequent_a mention_n in_o the_o scripture_n and_o the_o

of_o body_n and_o that_o either_o of_o body_n form_v of_o nothing_o or_o of_o pre-existant_a matter_n they_o form_v or_o possess_v and_o act_v natural_a body_n already_o make_v some_o have_v think_v there_o have_v be_v no_o assumption_n of_o body_n but_o only_o a_o appearance_n to_o the_o fancy_n and_o imagination_n but_o that_o must_v needs_o be_v otherwise_o for_o what_o ever_o be_v a_o

and_o further_o this_o be_v not_o a_o imaginary_a and_o fantastical_a apparition_n because_o such_o a_o imagination_n be_v not_o see_v by_o the_o sense_n without_o but_o by_o the_o fancy_n within_o 2._o a_o imaginative_a sight_n be_v only_o within_o in_o the_o imagination_n consequent_o appear_v to_o he_o only_o which_o so_o see_v it_o but_o that_o which_o be_v see_v by_o the_o eye_n because_o

the_o man_n of_o sodom_n who_o be_v see_v by_o they_o and_o indifferent_o by_o all_o obj._n but_o if_o you_o object_n to_o what_o end_n be_v this_o assumption_n of_o body_n since_o the_o power_n of_o the_o angel_n exceed_v all_o bodily_a might_n and_o this_o will_v not_o be_v unuseful_a to_o consider_v since_o it_o make_v way_n to_o show_v to_o what_o end_n they_o appear_v and_o what_o they_o have_v do_v and_o can_v do_v for_o we_o and_o upon_o we_o both_o the_o good_a and_o bad_a ans._n the_o angel_n assume_v body_n for_o the_o manifest_v themselves_o not_o for_o the_o do_v of_o their_o

society_n and_o converse_v which_o man_n expect_v with_o they_o in_o another_o life_n and_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n that_o it_o be_v a_o certain_a figurative_a declaration_n that_o the_o word_n
