due_a to_o christ._n other_o and_o those_o very_a great_a man_n thus_o expound_v it_o that_o st._n john_n err_v not_o in_o worship_v the_o angel_n but_o that_o the_o angel_n refuse_v to_o receive_v this_o honour_n from_o st._n john_n who_o be_v a_o apostle_n a_o prophet_n and_o most_o dear_o belove_v by_o jesus_n christ_n so_o that_o there_o be_v on_o both_o side_n a_o holy_a humility_n both_o in_o the_o giver_n and_o in_o the_o refuser_n of_o this_o worship_n now_o this_o indeed_o be_v both_o easy_a to_o prove_v and_o not_o hard_a to_o believe_v for_o can_v we_o imagine_v st._n john_n to_o have_v be_v ignorant_a that_o god_n alone_o and_o no_o angel_n be_v to_o be_v worship_v with_o latria_n or_o divine_a honour_n or_o can_v it_o be_v think_v that_o he_o understand_v not_o with_o what_o sort_n of_o respect_n angel_n be_v to_o be_v venerate_v who_o be_v not_o only_a christ_n apostle_n but_o his_o belove_a who_o lean_v on_o the_o breast_n of_o our_o lord_n at_o his_o last_o supper_n be_v there_o teach_v the_o mystery_n of_o his_o divinity_n to_o who_o our_o saviour_n mother_n be_v recommend_v as_o his_o own_o and_o who_o at_o that_o very_a time_n when_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o apocalypse_n be_v reveal_v to_o he_o in_o the_o island_n of_o pathmos_n have_v be_v above_o threescore_o year_n preach_v the_o gospel_n through_o the_o world_n can_v thou_o conceit_v that_o the_o christian_n be_v till_o that_o time_n ignorant_a whether_o or_o after_o what_o manner_n angel_n be_v to_o be_v reverence_v or_o that_o the_o very_a apostle_n know_v not_o this_o who_o teach_v preach_a and_o write_v the_o gospel_n be_v believe_v by_o all_o christian_n if_o therefore_o st._n john_n offer_v the_o worship_n of_o latria_n to_o the_o angel_n undoubted_o he_o believe_v he_o not_o to_o be_v a_o angel_n but_o our_o lord_n but_o if_o he_o know_v he_o to_o be_v a_o angel_n it_o be_v certain_a both_o that_o he_o give_v he_o not_o divine_a honour_n and_o that_o it_o be_v lawful_a in_o such_o manner_n to_o worship_n the_o angel_n as_o he_o then_o do_v for_o it_o be_v ridiculous_a to_o say_v that_o our_o lord_n have_v not_o till_o then_o reveal_v to_o christian_n what_o sort_n of_o respect_n shall_v be_v give_v to_o angel_n who_o before_o that_o time_n all_o the_o apostle_n except_o st._n john_n alone_o be_v by_o martyrdom_n take_v out_o of_o the_o world._n but_o let_v we_o suppose_v what_o be_v most_o absurd_a that_o st._n john_n the_o apostle_n know_v not_o what_o no_o christian_n ought_v at_o that_o time_n to_o have_v be_v ignorant_a of_o to_o wit_n what_o reverence_n be_v to_o be_v show_v to_o angel_n it_o be_v yet_o at_o least_o sufficient_a for_o he_o to_o have_v be_v once_o instruct_v in_o it_o by_o the_o angel._n but_o we_o find_v he_o notwithstanding_o again_o attempt_v the_o same_o for_o when_o as_o we_o have_v it_o chap._n 19_o st._n john_n fall_v down_o to_o worship_n the_o angel_n refuse_v it_o with_o these_o word_n see_v thou_o do_v it_o not_o for_o i_o be_o thy_o fellow_n servant_n nevertheless_o we_o find_v st._n john_n again_o chap._n 21_o fall_v down_o to_o worship_v he_o and_o again_o hear_v the_o same_o word_n from_o the_o angel._n be_v st._n john_n so_o ignorant_a of_o christ_n law_n do_v thou_o think_v he_o have_v so_o soon_o forget_v what_o he_o have_v but_o a_o little_a before_o learn_v of_o the_o angel_n nay_o this_o repeat_v fall_v down_o of_o st._n john_n at_o the_o angel_n foot_n sufficient_o show_v that_o this_o pious_a veneration_n of_o his_o friend_n and_o messenger_n be_v not_o unacceptable_a to_o almighty_a god._n we_o therefore_o together_o with_o the_o church_n and_o the_o psalmist_n sing_v but_o to_o i_o o_o god_n thy_o friend_n be_v become_v honourable_a exceed_o we_o admine_v their_o

such_o a_o spirit_n as_o if_o he_o be_v thy_o equal_a or_o will_v thou_o not_o rather_o show_v he_o honour_n that_o be_v in_o the_o sense_n of_o which_o we_o here_o speak_v worship_v he_o for_o

therefore_o may_v we_o not_o honour_v they_o who_o wa_z see_v not_o yet_o we_o know_v they_o to_o be_v and_o to_o be_v happy_a unite_v to_o god_n the_o friend_n of_o god_n triumph_v in_o a_o most_o
