the_o very_a thunder_a of_o hell_n and_o lightning_n of_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n upon_o all_o impenitent_a sinner_n and_o therefore_o at_o the_o delivery_n of_o the_o law_n there_o be_v lightning_n

seven_o spirit_n of_o god_n these_o seven_o lamp_n which_o be_v interpret_v to_o be_v the_o seven_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v signify_v the_o preach_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o manifold_a grace_n

the_o spirit_n as_o the_o apostle_n say_v and_o therefore_o be_v resemble_v to_o seven_o lamp_n so_o then_o from_o the_o throne_n that_o be_v from_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n proceed_v both_o law_n

here_o aim_v at_o and_o before_o the_o throne_n there_o be_v a_o sea_n of_o glass_n like_a unto_o crystal_n 6._o verse_n 6._o this_o sea_n of_o glass_n be_v the_o world_n which_o be_v fit_o compare_v to_o a_o sea_n because_o it_o be_v full_a of_o storm_n tempest_n and_o wave_n that_o be_v continual_o raise_v up_o in_o it_o it_o be_v full_a of_o rock_n upon_o which_o many_o dash_n and_o make_v

throne_n like_o crystal_n because_o the_o all-seeing_a god_n do_v as_o clear_o behold_v from_o his_o throne_n all_o the_o thought_n word_n and_o work_n of_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o all_o other_o particular_a action_n of_o all_o his_o creature_n under_o the_o sun_n as_o we_o behold_v our_o face_n in_o a_o crystal_n for_o all_o thing_n be_v naked_a and_o as_o it_o be_v lay_v out_o in_o a_o anatomy_n unto_o his_o eye_n with_o who_o we_o have_v to_o do_v moreover_o it_o be_v say_v that_o in_o the_o midst_n of_o the_o throne_n 6._o verse_n 6._o and_o round_o about_o the_o throne_n be_v four_o beast_n full_a of_o eye_n before_o and_o behind_o these_o four_o beast_n do_v signify_v the_o angel_n of_o heaven_n the_o invisible_a and_o elect_a angel_n as_o it_o be_v expound_v ezech._n 10._o verse_n 20._o where_o the_o prophet_n in_o a_o vision_n see_v four_o beast_n as_o it_o be_v bear_v up_o and_o draw_v god_n chariot_n of_o triumph_n and_o at_o the_o 20._o verse_n he_o say_v

why_o the_o angel_n be_v call_v by_o the_o name_n of_o beast_n be_v because_o in_o the_o next_o verse_n they_o be_v compare_v to_o beast_n for_o their_o quality_n of_o certain_a beast_n they_o be_v name_v four_o in_o number_n be_v otherwise_o innumerable_a because_o they_o be_v liken_v to_o four_o several_a beast_n the_o angel_n be_v say_v to_o have_v eye_n before_o and_o behind_o for_o their_o great_a vigilancy_n over_o the_o church_n and_o every_o member_n thereof_o and_o because_o they_o be_v endue_v with_o knowledge_n of_o thing_n past_a and_o thing_n to_o come_v and_o last_o of_o all_o because_o they_o see_v and_o discern_v almost_o all_o action_n under_o the_o sun_n upward_o and_o downward_o backward_o and_o forward_o and_o the_o first_o beast_n be_v like_o a_o lion_n 7_o ver._n 7_o the_o second_o like_o a_o calf_n etc._n etc._n here_o the_o angel_n be_v compare_v to_o four_o several_a beast_n to_o a_o lion_n for_o strength_n and_o courage_n to_o a_o calf_n or_o a_o ox_n for_o service_n and_o use_v to_o a_o beast_n have_v the_o face_n of_o a_o man_n for_o wisdom_n to_o a_o eagle_n for_o swiftness_n and_o readiness_n to_o execute_v the_o will_n of_o god_n and_o moreover_o because_o the_o eagle_n soar_v aloft_o and_o fly_v a_o very_a high_a pitch_n we_o be_v give_v to_o understand_v that_o the_o heavenly_a spirit_n be_v much_o in_o celestial_a contemplation_n and_o do_v receive_v the_o knowledge_n of_o hide_a secret_n &_o counsel_n for_o they_o be_v much_o aloft_o about_o the_o throne_n of_o god_n and_o many_o high_a and_o deep_a secret_n be_v open_v unto_o they_o and_o the_o four_o beast_n have_v each_o of_o they_o six_o wing_n about_o he_o 8._o verse_n 8._o and_o they_o be_v full_a of_o eye_n within_o etc._n etc._n this_o make_v it_o very_o plain_a that_o by_o these_o beast_n be_v understand_v the_o six_o angel_n because_o he_o ascribe_v unto_o every_o one_o of_o they_o six_o wing_n a_o piece_n for_o the_o angel_n be_v describe_v with_o
