you_o the_o word_n of_o a_o author_n of_o no_o small_a repute_n among_o they_o speak_v of_o the_o very_a same_o comparison_n of_o the_o difference_n of_o face_n and_o mind_n alii_fw-la aliis_fw-la

approach_v to_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n even_o while_o we_o live_v here_o upon_o earth_n now_o aquinas_n tell_v we_o that_o quilibet_fw-la angelus_n constituit_fw-la speciem_fw-la every_o angel_n do_v make_v a_o several_a species_n so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o numericall_a distinction_n of_o the_o angel_n but_o a_o specifical_a and_o the_o reason_n of_o this_o be_v because_o those_o thing_n which_o agree_v in_o the_o species_n and_o differ_v only_o in_o number_n do_v agree_v in_o the_o form_n and_o be_v distinguish_v only_o in_o regard_n of_o the_o matter_n but_o see_v the_o angel_n be_v not_o compound_v of_o matter_n and_o form_n but_o be_v without_o that_o principium_fw-la &_o fundamentum_fw-la distinctionis_fw-la that_o beginning_n and_o foundation_n of_o numericall_a distinction_n which_o be_v matter_n therefore_o it_o be_v impossible_a that_o they_o shall_v be_v distinguish_v any_o other_o way_n but_o in_o the_o species_n and_o the_o species_n be_v compare_v unto_o number_n you_o can_v say_v that_o one_o number_n be_v equal_a to_o another_o number_n the_o number_n of_o 6_o be_v great_a than_o the_o number_n of_o 4_o and_o less_o than_o the_o number_n of_o 8._o for_o as_o well_o in_o the_o species_n as_o in_o number_n there_o be_v no_o linea_fw-la à_fw-la latere_fw-la but_o only_o the_o upward_o &_o the_o downward_o line_n which_o imply_v great_a and_o less_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o saint_n no_o equality_n one_o must_v needs_o be_v great_a &_o another_o less_o and_o therefore_o s._n chrisostome_n conclude_v substantial_o and_o subtle_o if_o no_o man_n be_v great_a than_o john_n the_o baptist_n &_o all_o saint_n compare_v among_o themselves_o be_v either_o great_a or_o less_o therefore_o he_o who_o have_v none_o great_a than_o himself_o must_v needs_o be_v great_a than_o all_o but_o i_o have_v be_v too_o long_o among_o these_o school_n delicacy_n here_o be_v one_o thing_n remain_v to_o be_v explain_v concern_v his_o last_o greatness_n the_o greatness_n of_o his_o glory_n for_o our_o saviour_n add_v in_o that_o 7._o of_o s._n luke_n 7.28_o luk._n 7.28_o nevertheless_o he_o who_o be_v least_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v great_a than_o he_o there_o be_v two_o answer_n give_v first_o that_o this_o speak_v in_o comparison_n of_o the_o angel_n who_o be_v only_o yet_o the_o inhabitor_n of_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n for_o say_v they_o when_o christ_n speak_v these_o word_n the_o kingdom_n of_o heaven_n be_v not_o open_a unto_o the_o soul_n and_o spirit_n of_o man_n the_o key_n of_o that_o be_v the_o resurrection_n and_o ascension_n of_o christ_n till_o than_o there_o be_v no_o man_n in_o heaven_n as_o if_o our_o saviour_n shall_v have_v say_v nevertheless_o all_o this_o greatness_n of_o john_n which_o i_o have_v make_v mention_n of_o the_o least_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n i_o the_o least_o among_o the_o angel_n be_v great_a than_o he_o because_o john_n notwithstanding_o all_o these_o commendation_n be_v but_o a_o man_n but_o the_o angelical_a nature_n be_v far_o great_a than_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n but_o this_o answer_n carry_v along_o with_o it_o a_o point_n in_o controversy_n not_o yet_o determine_v among_o we_o as_o grant_v and_o therefore_o can_v full_o satisfy_v second_o the_o answer_n be_v that_o he_o who_o be_v the_o least_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v great_a than_o john_n the_o baptist_n mean_v that_o he_o be_v great_a pro_fw-la nunc_fw-la great_a while_o john_n live_v upon_o the_o earth_n and_o this_o greatness_n arise_v a_o securitate_fw-la &_o fruitione_n from_o security_n and_o fruition_n for_o he_o who_o ride_v in_o his_o triumphant_a chariot_n must_v needs_o be_v say_v to_o be_v great_a and_o happy_a than_o he_o who_o be_v yet_o in_o the_o heat_n of_o the_o battle_n although_o this_o last_o be_v far_o the_o worthy_a and_o the_o valiant_a because_o this_o be_v yet_o in_o dubio_fw-la certamine_fw-la but_o the_o other_o be_v free_v from_o the_o malice_n of_o his_o enemy_n wear_v his_o garland_n upon_o his_o head_n in_o security_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o say_v here_o that_o he_o who_o be_v least_o in_o the_o kingdom_n of_o god_n be_v holy_a or_o better_a than_o john_n but_o be_v great_a than_o he_o which_o greatness_n proceed_v from_o a_o present_a possession_n of_o happiness_n we_o have_v hitherto_o preach_v unto_o you_o of_o the_o

thou_o among_o woman_n this_o holy_a name_n i_o say_v if_o it_o come_v in_o usherd_n by_o the_o word_n saint_n be_v distasteful_a to_o many_o of_o they_o such_o be_v their_o madness_n afford_v a_o

people_n certain_o if_o they_o know_v my_o thing_n must_v needs_o know_v that_o the_o greatness_n of_o the_o follower_n do_v redound_v unto_o the_o greatness_n of_o their_o lord_n who_o be_v able_a to_o make_v and_o to_o keep_v such_o follower_n and_o when_o we_o hear_v of_o the_o the_o greatness_n of_o st._n john_n the_o baptist_n i_o think_v we_o shall_v all_o be_v carry_v up_o into_o a_o
