much_o upon_o that_o the_o most_o do_v consent_n that_o all_o the_o creature_n be_v angel_n the_o word_n itself_o signify_v especial_o in_o this_o pla●e_n a_o ambassador_n or_o a_o messenger_n now_o all_o the_o creature_n be_v so_o messenger_n or_o ambassador_n from_o god_n they_o must_v needs_o all_o be_v angel_n but_o if_o a_o man_n shall_v speak_v now_o unto_o the_o wise_a in_o israel_n and_o

only_o in_o the_o angel_n below_o matter_n prevail_v above_o the_o form_n but_o in_o the_o angel_n above_o form_n prevail_v over_o the_o matter_n for_o if_o our_o form_n be_v not_o bound_v and_o
