between_o god_n and_o man_n exclude_v saint_n and_o angel_n he_o the_o light_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n without_o who_o be_v darkness_n in_o brief_a he_o be_v the_o only_a king_n that_o govern_v defend_v &_o protect_v the_o saint_n the_o only_a priest_n that_o offer_v himself_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o redemption_n of_o mankind_n and_o the_o only_a prophet_n that_o show_v the_o way_n of_o salvation_n to_o his_o choose_a so_o equivalent_a to_o sol._n second_o the_o natural_a sun_n be_v call_v apollo_n the_o god_n of_o wisdom_n knowledge_n and_o learning_n he_o that_o be_v famous_a in_o his_o time_n for_o music_n physic_n poetry_n and_o divination_n so_o in_o like_a manner_n christ_n be_v the_o eternal_a wisdom_n of_o the_o father_n &_o the_o fountain_n of_o all_o heavenly_a knowledge_n the_o true_a physician_n of_o the_o soul_n the_o good_a samaritan_n that_o bind_v up_o the_o break_a heart_a heal_v the_o afflict_a spirit_n and_o mollify_v the_o hard_a

soul-ravishing_a parable_n answer_n and_o doctrine_n be_v such_o as_o never_o man_n speak_v of_o who_o prophecy_n and_o divination_n not_o one_o jot_n or_o tittle_n shall_v fall_v to_o the_o ground_n without_o their_o accomplishment_n so_o the_o true_a prophet_n and_o so_o divine_a apollo_n three_o the_o natural_a sun_n be_v call_v phoebus_n the_o spring_n of_o light_n the_o discoverer_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o the_o expeller_n of_o darkness_n so_o christ_n be_v the_o true_a light_n which_o enlighten_v every_o man_n that_o come_v into_o the_o world_n of_o his_o fullness_n we_o all_o receive_v the_o light_n of_o grace_n he_o be_v the_o searcher_n of_o the_o heart_n the_o tryer_n of_o our_o spirit_n he_o know_v our_o thought_n long_o before_o nothing_o be_v hide_v from_o his_o sight_n he_o show_v the_o vanity_n of_o the_o world_n the_o deceitfulness_n of_o riches_n the_o shame_n of_o pleasure_n the_o folly_n of_o sport_n the_o danger_n of_o greatness_n inconstancy_n of_o honour_n and_o strict_a account_n to_o be_v give_v for_o all_o at_o his_o presence_n all_o the_o gross_a darkness_n of_o man_n ignorance_n vanish_v he_o be_v the_o fountain_n of_o knowledge_n for_o all_o the_o light_n that_o all_o mankind_n ever_o have_v have_v or_o shall_v have_v be_v but_o as_o a_o spark_n to_o this_o sun_n or_o as_o a_o drop_n to_o this_o ocean_n so_o like_o phoebus_n and_o last_o the_o sun_n be_v call_v titan_n for_o his_o burn_a heat_n parch_a nature_n and_o revenge_a quality_n which_o he_o take_v upon_o grass_n and_o grain_n in_o the_o scorch_a summer_n so_o christ_n the_o sun_n of_o righteousness_n in_o the_o hot_a summer_n of_o the_o last_o judgement_n when_o he_o shall_v appear_v in_o the_o cloud_n with_o power_n and_o great_a glory_n shall_v take_v vengeance_n upon_o his_o enemy_n and_o ease_v he_o of_o his_o adversary_n then_o shall_v he_o speak_v unto_o they_o in_o his_o wrath_n and_o vex_v they_o in_o his_o hot_a displeasure_n then_o when_o his_o wrath_n shall_v be_v kindle_v and_o wax_v hot_a he_o shall_v wound_v even_o king_n in_o the_o day_n of_o his_o fury_n with_o a_o sceptre_n of_o iron_n and_o break_v they_o in_o piece_n like_o a_o potter_n vessel_n then_o shall_v his_o enemy_n look_v upon_o he_o who_o they_o have_v pierce_v and_o be_v confound_v with_o shame_n and_o consume_v for_o fear_n of_o his_o heavy_a displeasure_n for_o who_o be_v able_a to_o abide_v and_o stand_v before_o that_o consume_a fire_n so_o in_o this_o respect_n as_o i_o conceive_v agreeable_a to_o titan._n now_o have_v take_v a_o view_n of_o this_o glorious_a sun_n behold_v he_o to_o arise_v in_o the_o rag_n of_o our_o nature_n out_o of_o the_o cloudy_a undefiled_a bed_n of_o the_o bless_a virgin_n in_o this_o brief_a story_n by_o consent_n of_o all_o
