i_o will_v glad_o understand_v two_o little_a point_n of_o thou_o which_o moses_n make_v mention_n of_o 24._o daniel_n what_o be_v those_o point_n timothy_n the_o first_o be_v how_o that_o god_n which_o be_v in_o all_o place_n and_o do_v fill_v both_o heaven_n and_o earth_n and_o be_v infinite_a do_v descend_v into_o the_o mountain_n of_o sinai_n for_o be_v he_o not_o there_o before_o the_o other_o how_o he_o speak_v in_o proper_a person_n for_o somuch_o as_o he_o have_v neither_o body_n mouth_n nor_o voice_n like_a unto_o man_n voice_n if_o we_o do_v consider_v he_o in_o his_o be_v and_o divinity_n 3._o on_o the_o other_o side_n s._n paul_n and_o s._n stephen_n do_v plain_o testify_v that_o the_o law_n be_v give_v by_o the_o angel_n of_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n in_o general_n which_o be_v common_a to_o all_o man_n and_o creature_n and_o of_o his_o special_a presence_n towards_o his_o servant_n d._n there_o be_v no_o great_a difficulty_n in_o these_o question_n for_o albéeit_n god_n do_v fill_v both_o heaven_n and_o earth_n through_o his_o divinity_n yet_o notwithstanding_o for_o so_o much_o as_o he_o do_v not_o always_o declare_v his_o majesty_n his_o power_n his_o wisdom_n and_o goodness_n so_o manifest_o and_o familiar_o in_o one_o place_n as_o in_o a_o other_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o condescend_v and_o agree_v to_o our_o grossness_n do_v oftentimes_o attribute_v that_o unto_o god_n which_o be_v proper_a to_o man_n to_o declare_v unto_o we_o the_o more_o plain_o and_o familiar_o his_o presence_n and_o assistance_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o that_o god_n be_v already_o in_o the_o mount_n sinai_n before_o the_o time_n that_o he_o give_v his_o law_n as_o he_o be_v throughout_o the_o whole_a world_n and_o even_o as_o he_o be_v at_o this_o day_n but_o he_o do_v not_o show_v himself_o in_o such_o sort_n as_o he_o do_v then_o there_o show_v himself_o to_o his_o people_n 18._o wherefore_o the_o scripture_n say_v because_o of_o such_o a_o show_v of_o his_o presence_n that_o he_o do_v there_o descend_v of_o the_o voice_n of_o god_n which_o be_v hear_v by_o man_n and_o of_o his_o law_n give_v by_o the_o angel_n t._n and_o what_o say_v thou_o concern_v the_o other_o point_n d._n albeit_o that_o god_n have_v no_o body_n as_o concern_v his_o divine_a essence_n or_o be_v nor_o voice_n like_o unto_o the_o voice_n of_o man_n so_o be_v it_o notwithstanding_o a_o easy_a matter_n for_o he_o to_o who_o nothing_o be_v impossible_a to_o make_v himself_o a_o voice_n and_o to_o take_v such_o form_n and_o likeness_n as_o please_v he_o to_o cause_v he_o to_o be_v hear_v and_o know_v 18._o so_o far_o forth_o as_o be_v meet_v for_o the_o salvation_n of_o man_n &_o the_o infirmity_n of_o man_n may_v endure_v and_o also_o there_o be_v no_o inconvenient_a to_o say_v that_o the_o law_n which_o god_n give_v be_v give_v by_o angel_n for_o so_o much_o as_o god_n be_v serve_v by_o their_o ministry_n in_o the_o give_n of_o it_o and_o that_o his_o majesty_n be_v not_o there_o show_v but_o be_v accompany_v with_o his_o angel_n 96._o which_o be_v always_o prepare_v &_o ready_a to_o serve_v he_o wherefore_o both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o be_v true_a to_o weet_fw-mi that_o god_n himself_o do_v speak_v &_o give_v his_o law_n and_o that_o it_o be_v give_v by_o the_o ministry_n of_o his_o angel_n of_o the_o preface_n of_o
