as_o well_o in_o the_o army_n of_o heaven_n as_o in_o the_o dweller_n of_o the_o earth_n by_o the_o army_n of_o heaven_n i_o do_v not_o understand_v as_o in_o other_o place_n the_o sun_n the_o moon_n the_o star_n but_o the_o angel_n themselves_o and_o even_o the_o very_a devil_n which_o may_v well_o be_v call_v heavenly_a in_o respect_n of_o their_o beginning_n and_o furthermore_o we_o know_v that_o they_o be_v the_o prince_n of_o the_o air_n therefore_o signify_v daniel_n as_o well_o the_o angel_n as_o devil_n and_o man_n to_o be_v govern_v by_o his_o will_n and_o although_o the_o wicked_a do_v rush_v out_o never_o so_o outrageous_o yet_o they_o be_v hold_v in_o by_o a_o secret_a bridle_n that_o they_o can_v not_o fulfil_v what_o soever_o they_o lust_v therefore_o be_v god_n say_v to_o work_v as_o well_o in_o the_o army_n of_o heaven_n as_o in_o man_n what_o soever_o he_o will_v because_o he_o have_v the_o angel_n obedient_a unto_o he_o that_o be_v the_o elect_a but_o the_o devil_n be_v compel_v to_o obey_v his_o rule_n although_o they_o will_v do_v the_o contrary_n we_o know_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v by_o all_o mean_n against_o god_n but_o yet_o at_o the_o length_n they_o be_v compel_v to_o obey_v he_o not_o willing_o but_o by_o constraint_n and_o even_o as_o he_o deal_v with_o the_o angel_n and_o devil_n so_o also_o he_o do_v with_o the_o dweller_n on_o earth_n for_o some_o do_v he_o govern_v with_o his_o spirit_n that_o be_v the_o elect_a which_o after_o that_o they_o be_v regenerate_v by_o his_o spirit_n be_v so_o lead_v of_o he_o that_o his_o righteousness_n do_v true_o shine_v forth_o in_o all_o their_o work_n he_o work_v also_o in_o the_o reprobate_n but_o after_o a_o other_o sort_n for_o he_o draw_v they_o headlong_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o devil_n he_o drive_v they_o by_o his_o secret_a power_n he_o strike_v they_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o brayneséekenes_n he_o blind_v they_o and_o cast_v they_o into_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n he_o harden_v also_o their_o heart_n to_o stubbornness_n behold_v how_o god_n do_v work_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o will_n in_o man_n and_o angel_n now_o there_o be_v a_o other_o kind_n of_o work_v for_o as_o much_o as_o belong_v to_o the_o outward_a state_n for_o god_n do_v lift_v this_o man_n on_o high_a and_o cast_v down_o a_o other_o so_o we_o see_v that_o rich_a man_n often_o time_n become_v poor_a and_o some_o be_v lift_v up_o from_o the_o dunghill_n to_o climb_v to_o high_a degree_n of_o honour_n the_o profane_a man_n do_v call_v it_o the_o play_n of_o fortune_n but_o it_o be_v the_o incomprehensible_a and_o most_o just_a moderation_n of_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n thus_o god_n work_v then_o after_o his_o will_n in_o man_n and_o angel_n but_o that_o inward_a action_n shall_v be_v put_v in_o the_o first_o place_n as_o we_o have_v say_v 33_o at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v my_o understanding_n restore_v unto_o i_o and_o i_o return_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o my_o kingdom_n my_o glory_n and_o my_o beauty_n be_v restore_v unto_o i_o and_o my_o counsailler_n and_o my_o prince_n seek_v unto_o i_o and_o i_o be_v establish_v in_o my_o kingdom_n and_o my_o glory_n be_v augment_v towards_o i_o here_o do_v nebuchadnezer_n declare_v more_o copious_o that_o which_o he_o have_v touch_v brief_o before_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o have_v recover_v his_o wit_n again_o and_o so_o do_v he_o commend_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n because_o he_o be_v content_a with_o a_o small_a temporal_a correction_n &_o at_o the_o length_n give_v he_o his_o merciful_a hand_n to_o make_v he_o a_o man_n again_o of_o a_o brute_n beast_n not_o that_o he_o be_v change_v into_o a_o beast_n as_o be_v say_v already_o but_o because_o he_o be_v bring_v to_o that_o shameful_a misery_n that_o he_o be_v like_o the_o wild_a beast_n and_o feed_v also_o with_o they_o wherefore_o that_o deformity_n be_v so_o horrible_a that_o the_o restore_a may_v be_v call_v as_o it_o be_v a_o new_a creation_n and_o therefore_o nebuchadnezer_n do_v so_o much_o celebrate_v this_o grace_n of_o god_n not_o without_o cause_n therefore_o in_o that_o time_n my_o understanding_n be_v restore_v to_o i_o he_o have_v speak_v this_o once_o but_o because_o understanding_n &_o reason_n be_v a_o inestimable_a benefit_n of_o god_n nebuchadnezer_n do_v inculcate_v this_o sentence_n &_o do_v confess_v that_o he_o have_v try_v the_o singular_a grace_n of_o god_n because_o he_o be_v restore_v to_o his_o mind_n again_o and_o he_o do_v also_o add_v that_o he_o be_v restore_v to_o his_o honour_n and_o to_o the_o excellency_n of_o his_o kingdom_n because_o he_o be_v seek_v to_o of_o his_o counsellor_n and_o noble_n it_o be_v not_o know_v how_o this_o be_v fulfil_v because_o the_o memory_n of_o those_o time_n be_v bury_v but_o that_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o at_o the_o length_n the_o prince_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v bow_v to_o clemency_n that_o they_o covet_v to_o receive_v to_o they_o the_o king_n that_o be_v cast_v forth_o we_o will_v not_o say_v that_o this_o be_v do_v of_o they_o of_o purpose_n for_o god_n so_o use_v they_o that_o yet_o they_o know_v not_o that_o they_o do_v execute_v that_o which_o he_o determine_v they_o hear_v a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n to_o thou_o be_v it_o speak_v oh_o king_n nebuchadnezer_n behold_v the_o kingdom_n be_v go_v from_o thou_o etc_n etc_n this_o thing_n ought_v to_o have_v be_v know_v amongst_o all_o man_n &_o to_o have_v be_v spread_v abroad_o amongst_o all_o but_o we_o know_v that_o man_n do_v very_o easy_o forget_v when_o god_n speak_v the_o prince_n therefore_o though_o they_o do_v not_o know_v that_o they_o do_v god_n service_n therein_o yet_o require_v they_o their_o king_n by_o this_o mean_n he_o return_v to_o his_o dignity_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o his_o honour_n be_v great_a than_o it_o be_v before_o 34_o now_o therefore_o i_o nebuchadnezer_n praise_n and_o extol_v and_o magnify_v the_o king_n of_o heaven_n who_o work_n be_v all_o truth_n and_o his_o way_n judgement_n and_o those_o that_o walk_v in_o pride_n he_o be_v able_a to_o abase_v this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o commandment_n where_o nebuchadnezer_n do_v join_v a_o notable_a confession_n of_o his_o fault_n with_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n for_o that_o which_o he_o do_v add_v of_o the_o proud_a he_o do_v undoubted_o proper_o apply_v to_o his_o own_o person_n as_o though_o he_o shall_v say_v god_n will_v set_v i_o forth_o as_o a_o notable_a example_n whereby_o all_o may_v know_v that_o the_o proud_a be_v humble_v by_o his_o hand_n for_o i_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o pride_n but_o god_n have_v thus_o correct_v i_o by_o a_o horrible_a punishment_n that_o now_o my_o example_n may_v profit_v all_o man_n therefore_o have_v i_o say_v that_o the_o king_n nebuchadnezer_n do_v not_o thank_v god_n here_o simple_o but_o do_v also_o confess_v his_o fault_n because_o he_o be_v worthy_o bring_v by_o such_o severity_n into_o subjection_n for_o his_o arrogancy_n can_v by_o no_o light_a remedy_n be_v correct_v but_o first_o he_o say_v i_o praise_v extol_v and_o glorify_v the_o king_n of_o heaven_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o this_o heap_n of_o word_n come_v of_o a_o vehement_a affection_n and_o here_o also_o the_o antethesis_n must_v be_v understand_v by_o that_o principle_n which_o we_o have_v see_v before_o that_o be_v that_o god_n be_v never_o right_o praise_v until_o the_o shame_n of_o man_n be_v uncover_v that_o god_n be_v never_o right_o extol_v but_o when_o their_o highness_n be_v throw_v down_o that_o god_n be_v never_o glorify_v but_o when_o man_n be_v as_o it_o be_v overwhelm_v with_o shame_n fall_v down_o upon_o the_o earth_n therefore_o also_o while_o nebuchadnezer_n do_v in_o this_o place_n praise_n extol_v and_o glorify_v god_n he_o do_v also_o confess_v as_o before_o that_o both_o he_o and_o all_o mortal_a man_n be_v nothing_o do_v deserve_v no_o praise_n but_o be_v worthy_a of_o all_o shame_n afterwards_o he_o add_v because_o all_o his_o work_n be_v truth_n here_o kesot_v be_v take_v for_o righteousness_n and_o integrity_n for_o emez_fw-fr dine_v be_v call_v true_a judgement_n but_o it_o be_v here_o refer_v to_o equity_n therefore_o all_o the_o work_n of_o god_n be_v verity_n that_o be_v they_o be_v upright_o as_o though_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o nothing_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v reprehend_v in_o the_o work_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o explication_n follow_v that_o all_o his_o way_n be_v judgement_n we_o see_v therefore_o that_o here_o be_v praise_v in_o god_n perfect_a justice_n this_o aught_o to_o be_v also_o refer_v unto_o nebuchadnezer_n as_o though_o he_o shall_v say_v god_n do_v not_o handle_v i_o over_o rough_o there_o be_v no_o
be_v able_a to_o judge_v nothing_o when_o the_o imperial_a majesty_n or_o the_o king_n highness_n be_v show_v they_o be_v all_o amaze_a and_o astonish_v for_o they_o think_v that_o it_o be_v not_o lawful_a for_o they_o to_o behold_v what_o be_v in_o those_o prince_n see_v then_o there_o be_v so_o great_a riches_n &_o power_n in_o king_n nebuchadnezer_n it_o be_v no_o marvel_n though_o the_o prophet_n do_v say_v that_o his_o bough_n be_v beautiful_a and_o his_o fruit_n plentiful_a but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n we_o must_v remember_v that_o which_o i_o have_v late_o speak_v that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o the_o blessing_n of_o god_n do_v shine_v in_o the_o prince_n although_o they_o be_v far_o from_o do_v their_o office_n for_o god_n do_v not_o suffer_v his_o grace_n to_o be_v utter_o take_v from_o they_o &_o therefore_o they_o be_v compel_v to_o bring_v forth_o some_o fruit_n it_o be_v much_o better_a therefore_o to_o see_v some_o kind_n of_o dominion_n than_o one_o equal_a condition_n where_o every_o one_o will_v pluck_v forth_o his_o neighbour_n eye_n and_o this_o be_v mean_v by_o the_o meat_n for_o every_o one_o the_o second_o part_n of_o the_o dream_n follow_v hitherto_o nebuchadnezer_n have_v describe_v the_o beauty_n and_o excellency_n of_o his_o state_n by_o the_o figure_n of_o a_o high_a tree_n which_o shadow_v the_o beast_n and_o feed_v they_o with_o fruit_n and_o give_v quiet_a nest_n to_o the_o fowl_n of_o heaven_n in_o his_o branch_n now_o follow_v the_o cut_n down_o of_o the_o tree_n i_o have_v see_v say_v he_o in_o the_o vision_n of_o my_o head_n upon_o my_o bed_n and_o behold_v a_o watch_n man_n and_o a_o holy_a one_o come_v down_o from_o the_o heaven_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o by_o the_o watchman_n he_o mean_v a_o angel_n he_o be_v also_o call_v holy_a for_o a_o further_a declaration_n and_o the_o angel_n be_v so_o call_v worthy_o because_o they_o watch_v continual_o to_o execute_v god_n commandment_n for_o they_o be_v not_o subject_a unto_o sleep_n because_o they_o be_v not_o nourish_v with_o meat_n nor_o drink_v but_o live_v a_o spiritual_a life_n therefore_o also_o they_o have_v no_o need_n of_o sleep_n for_o we_o fall_v into_o sleep_n by_o meat_n and_o drink_n final_o because_o the_o angel_n have_v no_o body_n therefore_o they_o watch_v always_o by_o their_o spiritual_a nature_n howbeit_o not_o only_a their_o nature_n but_o their_o office_n be_v also_o here_o express_v therefore_o because_o god_n have_v they_o always_o ready_a at_o his_o appointment_n and_o he_o do_v send_v they_o to_o execute_v his_o commandment_n therefore_o be_v they_o call_v watchman_n it_o be_v read_v in_o the_o psalm_n 10.20_o you_o angeles_n which_o perform_v his_o will_n because_o they_o go_v to_o and_o fro_o by_o a_o incomparable_a swiftness_n and_o fly_v straight_a way_n from_o the_o heaven_n unto_o the_o earth_n and_o from_o the_o uttermost_a part_n of_o the_o earth_n unto_o the_o contrary_a from_o the_o east_n unto_o the_o west_n because_o therefore_o that_o the_o angel_n be_v so_o ready_a to_o accomplish_v that_o which_o god_n command_v they_o may_v well_o be_v call_v watchman_n they_o be_v also_o call_v saintes_n or_o holy_a because_o they_o be_v not_o infect_v with_o man_n filthiness_n for_o we_o be_v stuff_v full_a of_o vice_n and_o sin_n not_o only_o because_o we_o dwell_v upon_o the_o earth_n but_o because_o we_o have_v gather_v corruption_n of_o our_o first_o parent_n which_o have_v pollute_v all_o the_o part_n both_o of_o body_n and_o soul_n wherefore_o nebuchadnezer_n do_v discern_v the_o angel_n from_o mortal_a man_n by_o this_o title_n for_o though_o god_n do_v here_o sanctify_v his_o elect_a yet_o so_o long_o as_o they_o dwell_v in_o the_o prison_n of_o their_o flesh_n they_o never_o come_v to_o the_o perfection_n of_o angel_n so_o be_v here_o note_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o man_n and_o angel_n nebuchadnezer_n cold_a not_o perceive_v this_o of_o himself_o but_o that_o he_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n that_o he_o may_v understand_v the_o cut_n down_o of_o this_o tree_n not_o to_o come_v by_o man_n but_o by_o god_n appointment_n afterwards_o he_o say_v that_o the_o angel_n cry_v with_o a_o loud_a voice_n cut_v down_o the_o tree_n beat_v down_o the_o leaf_n break_v of_o the_o branch_n scatter_v abroad_o the_o fruit_n and_o let_v the_o beast_n fly_v from_o the_o shadow_n thereof_o and_o let_v not_o the_o fowl_n of_o the_o air_n breed_v in_o the_o branch_n god_n will_v express_v by_o this_o figure_n that_o the_o king_n nebuchadnezer_n shall_v for_o a_o time_n become_v like_o a_o beast_n neither_o may_v we_o think_v it_o any_o absurdity_n although_o it_o be_v somthe_a strange_o speak_v that_o the_o tree_n be_v name_v to_o be_v spoil_v of_o man_n heart_n for_o daniel_n do_v now_o turn_v from_o the_o alligory_n yea_o nebuchadnezer_n himself_o have_v the_o dream_n so_o in_o a_o alligory_n that_o god_n yet_o mix_v something_o whereby_o he_o may_v gather_v some_o other_o thing_n to_o be_v note_v under_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o tree_n the_o angel_n therefore_o command_v man_n heart_n to_o be_v take_v from_o the_o tree_n after_o it_o be_v cut_v down_o and_o his_o bough_n and_o fruit_n spoil_v then_o do_v he_o command_v the_o heart_n of_o a_o beast_n to_o be_v give_v unto_o it_o that_o his_o portion_n may_v be_v with_o the_o wild_a beast_n of_o the_o field_n but_o because_o this_o must_v be_v repeat_v again_o i_o pass_v it_o now_o the_o more_o light_o this_o be_v the_o sum_n that_o the_o king_n nebuchadnezer_n shall_v for_o a_o time_n not_o only_o be_v spoil_v of_o his_o empire_n &_o dominion_n but_o also_o of_o all_o humane_a understanding_n that_o he_o shall_v nothing_o differ_v from_o a_o beast_n because_o he_o be_v unworthy_a to_o be_v in_o the_o low_a place_n of_o the_o common_a people_n &_o though_o he_o seem_v to_o himself_o far_o to_o exceed_v all_o mankind_n in_o dignity_n yet_o he_o shall_v be_v cast_v down_o and_o abase_v that_o he_o shall_v not_o have_v the_o low_a place_n amongst_o man_n then_o follow_v the_o order_n of_o this_o punishment_n when_o it_o be_v say_v let_v seven_o time_n pass_v over_o he_o again_o cut_v not_o down_o his_o whole_a root_n but_o let_v he_o be_v water_v with_o the_o rain_n of_o heaven_n again_o let_v his_o portion_n be_v with_o the_o wild_a beast_n although_o this_o be_v a_o severe_a and_o horrible_a chastisement_n when_o nebuchadnezer_n be_v cast_v forth_o of_o man_n company_n and_o make_v like_o the_o wild_a beast_n yet_o this_o be_v somewhat_o that_o god_n do_v not_o pluck_v he_o up_o by_o the_o root_n but_o will_v have_v his_o root_n to_o remain_v that_o it_o may_v grow_v and_o be_v a_o tree_n yea_o that_o it_o may_v be_v graft_v in_o the_o own_o place_n and_o gather_v new_a strength_n out_o of_o the_o root_n daniel_n have_v respect_n unto_o this_o that_o god_n lay_v such_o a_o punishment_n upon_o king_n nebuchadnezer_n in_o the_o which_o yet_o he_o show_v some_o token_n of_o his_o mercy_n because_o he_o spare_v he_o and_o cut_v he_o not_o of_o whole_o but_o suffer_v some_o root_n to_o remain_v where_o some_o do_v here_o dispute_v of_o the_o mitigation_n of_o the_o pain_n when_o god_n see_v man_n repent_v i_o know_v not_o whether_o this_o be_v a_o place_n for_o it_o or_o no._n for_o this_o conversion_n of_o the_o king_n be_v not_o perfect_a as_o we_o have_v see_v plain_o before_o therefore_o where_o god_n will_v press_v he_o no_o more_o this_o aught_o to_o be_v attribute_v to_o his_o only_a mercy_n because_o even_o when_o he_o seem_v to_o punish_v man_n sin_n most_o sore_o yet_o in_o all_o his_o temporal_a punishment_n he_o leave_v some_o taste_n of_o his_o mercy_n that_o the_o reprobate_n may_v remain_v inexcusable_a for_o where_o they_o bring_v this_o that_o the_o punishment_n be_v not_o mitigate_v unless_o the_o fault_n be_v forgive_v it_o be_v false_a as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o example_n of_o achab_n for_o god_n do_v not_o forgive_v the_o fault_n unto_o that_o wicked_a king_n but_o because_o he_o do_v seem_v to_o show_v some_o token_n of_o repentance_n god_n do_v abstain_v from_o sharp_a punishment_n so_o also_o may_v we_o perceive_v the_o same_o in_o king_n nebuchadnezer_n god_n will_v not_o pluck_v he_o up_o by_o the_o root_n &_o this_o be_v refer_v to_o the_o metaphor_n of_o the_o tree_n but_o will_v
