multitude_n of_o man_n a_o manifold_a deformity_n of_o member_n yet_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n do_v more_o clear_o shine_v there_o then_o in_o the_o behold_n of_o a_o great_a and_o well_o order_v

this_o be_v not_o the_o least_o ornament_n of_o the_o temple_n when_o as_o god_n by_o stretch_v out_o his_o hand_n do_v make_v it_o know_v that_o he_o be_v present_a there_o 4_o for_o a_o angel_n it_o

that_o the_o angel_n have_v something_o of_o their_o own_o or_o who_o do_v make_v they_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o we_o in_o such_o sort_n that_o they_o do_v darken_v the_o power_n of_o god_n be_v as_o it_o be_v set_v far_o of_o whereas_o it_o do_v rather_o show_v itself_o to_o be_v present_a in_o they_o therefore_o we_o must_v beware_v of_o those_o dote_a speculation_n of_o plato_n

unto_o christ_n that_o by_o his_o guide_n aid_n and_o commandment_n we_o may_v have_v the_o angel_n to_o be_v helper_n and_o minister_n of_o our_o salvation_n at_o a_o certain_a time_n god_n be_v

whereunto_o mankind_n be_v subject_a do_v proceed_v from_o sin_n so_o often_o as_o we_o see_v any_o man_n in_o misery_n it_o can_v be_v but_o that_o this_o cogitation_n must_v needs_o come_v into_o

every_o man_n ought_v to_o begin_v with_o himself_o in_o weigh_v punishment_n that_o he_o may_v spare_v none_o less_o than_o himself_o wherefore_o if_o we_o will_v be_v equal_a judge_n in_o this_o

of_o some_o in_o this_o world_n due_a defer_v the_o punishment_n until_o the_o life_n to_o come_v that_o they_o may_v be_v the_o sharp_a so_o he_o handle_v the_o faithful_a sometime_o more_o hardly_o not_o because_o they_o have_v offend_v more_o greevous_o but_o that_o he_o may_v hereafter_o mortify_v the_o vice_n of_o the_o flesh_n yea_o sometime_o not_o respect_v their_o sin_n he_o do_v prove_v their_o obedience_n or_o else_o teach_v they_o patience_n as_o we_o see_v that_o holy_a job_n be_v oppress_v with_o misery_n above_o all_o other_o man_n and_o yet_o be_v he_o not_o urge_v with_o his_o
