conceive_v of_o the_o profaneness_n and_o poison_n that_o be_v in_o man_n nature_n against_o divine_a truth_n as_o i_o shall_v show_v afterward_o how_o it_o slight_v the_o mean_n of_o its_o own_o

and_o trifle_v withal_o 2._o again_o from_o hence_o that_o christ_n be_v see_v and_o attend_v on_o comfort_n and_o admire_v by_o angel_n there_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o comfort_n issue_v to_o we_o it_o be_v the_o ground_n of_o all_o the_o attendance_n and_o comfort_n that_o we_o have_v from_o the_o angel_n for_o this_o be_v a_o rule_n in_o divinity_n that_o there_o be_v the_o same_o

which_o be_v his_o body_n have_v the_o same_o only_o with_o some_o difference_n they_o attend_v upon_o he_o as_o the_o head_n they_o attend_v upon_o we_o as_o the_o member_n they_o attend_v upon_o he_o immediate_o for_o himself_o they_o attend_v upon_o we_o for_o his_o sake_n for_o whatsoever_o we_o have_v of_o god_n we_o have_v it_o at_o the_o second_o hand_n we_o receive_v grace_n for_o

charge_n from_o he_o so_o we_o have_v a_o derivative_a comfort_n from_o the_o attendance_n of_o angel_n upon_o christ_n but_o sure_o whatsoever_o they_o do_v to_o he_o they_o do_v to_o we_o because_o there_o be_v the_o same_o respect_n to_o head_n and_o member_n therefore_o the_o devil_n do_v not_o mistake_v he_o be_v right_o in_o that_o when_o he_o allege_v out_o of_o the_o psalm_n he_o shall_v
