of_o christ_n it_o be_v the_o general_a tenent_n of_o the_o father_n and_o upon_o good_a reason_n that_o the_o devil_n be_v altogether_o ignorant_a of_o it_o before_o it_o be_v accomplish_v therefore_o st._n austin_n and_o pope_n leo_n give_v this_o reason_n why_o the_o devil_n do_v go_v about_o to_o hinder_v it_o by_o all_o mean_n when_o it_o draw_v to_o the_o consummation_n because_o than_o he_o understand_v that_o his_o power_n begin_v to_o be_v abolish_v if_o the_o devil_n have_v certain_o know_v that_o by_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n his_o kingdom_n shall_v have_v be_v

the_o high_a priest_n to_o have_v shed_v that_o innocent_a blood_n therefore_o st._n austin_n and_o leo_n and_o other_o observe_v that_o that_o dream_n that_o pilat_n wife_n have_v concern_v our_o

he_o may_v hinder_v the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n and_o other_o think_v upon_o the_o same_o ground_n that_o he_o be_v the_o mean_n of_o instigation_n why_o judas_n do_v bring_v back_o the_o piece_n of_o silver_n and_o deliver_v they_o to_o the_o priest_n and_o acknowledge_v that_o he_o have_v betray_v innocent_a blood_n that_o he_o may_v stay_v the_o passion_n of_o christ_n after_o he_o know_v or_o come_v confident_o to_o think_v that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o he_o be_v ignorant_a therefore_o that_o his_o kingdom_n shall_v be_v destroy_v by_o the_o suffering_n of_o christ_n so_o he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o first_o mystery_n christ_n incarnaration_n and_o our_o redemption_n he_o be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o birth_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n that_o the_o son_n of_o

one_o that_o will_v make_v trial_n as_o hilary_n say_v it_o be_v a_o doubtful_a speech_n as_o chrysostome_n say_v he_o be_v in_o great_a doubt_n he_o be_v at_o a_o stand_n he_o know_v not_o what_o to_o think_v he_o be_v blind_v with_o the_o lustre_n of_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n it_o be_v a_o mystery_n that_o he_o can_v not_o apprehend_v he_o can_v not_o make_v these_o two_o end_n meet_v together_o when_o he_o see_v christ_n in_o the_o desert_n his_o long_a fast_n and_o that_o he_o be_v hungry_a in_o the_o end_n he_o can_v not_o make_v these_o possible_o meet_v that_o these_o two_o shall_v stand_v together_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n shall_v be_v hungry_a he_o understand_v it_o not_o that_o the_o son_n of_o man_n shall_v fast_v 40._o day_n he_o know_v it_o not_o he_o know_v not_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o hypostatical_a union_n therefore_o he_o come_v if_o thou_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n he_o labour_v indeed_o to_o look_v into_o the_o mystery_n because_o he_o know_v it_o not_o but_o it_o be_v not_o a_o disquisition_n of_o piety_n that_o he_o may_v believe_v but_o of_o curiosity_n that_o he_o may_v know_v he_o labour_v to_o pry_v into_o it_o not_o out_o of_o

and_o therefore_o can_v have_v no_o love_n and_o because_o no_o love_n no_o hope_n and_o because_o no_o hope_n he_o desire_v not_o to_o make_v any_o due_a inquisition_n into_o it_o he_o can_v have_v no_o desire_n of_o it_o but_o the_o desire_n in_o the_o text_n be_v a_o holy_a desire_n and_o a_o holy_a inspection_n be_v a_o holy_a desire_n and_o a_o holy_a object_n and_o a_o holy_a inspection_n it_o can_v possible_o be_v understand_v of_o the_o evil_a angel_n there_o be_v the_o first_o proposition_n negative_a upon_o these_o two_o ground_n the_o nature_n of_o angel_n and_o the_o knowledge_n of_o devil_n it_o can_v possible_o be_v mean_v of_o evil_a angel_n 2_o as_o it_o can_v be_v mean_v of_o evil_a angel_n so_o it_o must_v necessary_o be_v mean_v of_o holy_a and_o good_a angel_n that_o be_v the_o affirmative_a proposition_n for_o the_o good_a angel_n their_o spiritual_a eye_n be_v fit_v they_o be_v make_v capable_a of_o such_o mystery_n the_o mystery_n of_o faith_n they_o dazzle_v the_o eye_n of_o evil_a spirit_n they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o look_v on_o they_o or_o if_o he_o can_v he_o have_v no_o desire_n because_o he_o find_v no_o sweetness_n at_o all_o in_o the_o mystery_n of_o salvation_n all_o his_o motion_n be_v to_o evil_a all_o his_o contemplation_n be_v about_o evil_a he_o move_v only_o to_o evil_n he_o can_v move_v to_o good_a whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o good_a angel_n nazianzen_n express_v it_o well_o of_o they_o they_o be_v altogether_o unmovable_a to_o evil_a they_o have_v only_a motion_n to_o that_o that_o be_v good_a now_o here_o in_o this_o place_n the_o object_n speak_v of_o be_v good_a the_o speculation_n speak_v of_o be_v good_a the_o desire_n be_v good_a the_o intendment_n of_o these_o inspector_n be_v good_a therefore_o these_o inspector_n must_v be_v the_o good_a angel_n for_o three_o reason_n first_o because_o the_o good_a angel_n their_o ministration_n be_v still_o use_v about_o the_o mystery_n of_o our_o salvation_n in_o christ_n our_o head_n their_o ministration_n be_v use_v in_o relation_n of_o the_o conception_n of_o christ_n and_o the_o manner_n of_o it_o in_o point_v out_o the_o name_n of_o christ_n what_o it_o shall_v be_v their_o ministration_n be_v use_v to_o christ_n in_o the_o desert_n after_o his_o temptation_n be_v pass_v their_o ministration_n be_v use_v to_o christ_n in_o the_o garden_n in_o his_o agony_n they_o come_v and_o comfort_v he_o their_o ministration_n be_v use_v about_o the_o sepulchre_n of_o christ_n after_o his_o resurrection_n it_o be_v so_o that_o they_o be_v employ_v about_o the_o mystery_n of_o our_o salvation_n we_o need_v not_o wonder_v if_o they_o make_v it_o their_o study_n and_o speculation_n second_o their_o ministration_n be_v use_v in_o the_o mystery_n of_o salvation_n in_o the_o saint_n that_o be_v the_o member_n they_o bring_v news_n of_o all_o these_o thing_n of_o christ_n birth_n to_o the_o shepherd_n of_o his_o resurrection_n to_o the_o woman_n of_o his_o ascension_n to_o the_o apostle_n their_o ministration_n be_v use_v about_o the_o mystery_n of_o salvation_n as_o far_o as_o it_o concern_v the_o saint_n therefore_o since_o this_o be_v the_o great_a errand_n that_o be_v give_v they_o in_o charge_n when_o they_o be_v send_v to_o the_o earth_n such_o holy_a messenger_n will_v oft_o think_v of_o their_o errand_n they_o have_v great_a delight_n to_o contemplate_v these_o mystery_n because_o god_n have_v employ_v they_o in_o these_o not_o only_o concern_v the_o head_n but_o the_o member_n that_o be_v the_o second_o three_o the_o mystery_n of_o salvation_n be_v thing_n that_o the_o angel_n have_v benefit_n by_o their_o share_n of_o comfort_n in_o it_o be_v in_o the_o glass_n of_o the_o incarnation_n of_o christ_n that_o they_o read_v the_o glorious_a mystery_n of_o their_o own_o confirmation_n in_o grace_n and_o happiness_n therefore_o they_o must_v needs_o desire_v oft_o to_o look_v in_o that_o glass_n they_o
