similitude_n and_o quality_n so_o well_o both_o in_o the_o beginning_n middle_a and_o end_n that_o there_o be_v not_o the_o least_o tittle_n of_o difference_n for_o as_o for_o the_o beginning_n it_o

can_v ever_o find_v any_o antidote_n or_o spell_n against_o death_n and_o as_o for_o the_o middle_n which_o be_v from_o the_o time_n of_o their_o birth_n until_o death_n we_o have_v already_o say_v with_o job_n that_o man_n life_n be_v a_o continual_a warfare_n full_a of_o all_o manner_n of_o affliction_n and_o calamity_n as_o may_v be_v devise_v or_o imagine_v and_o this_o be_v universal_a

and_o by_o his_o equality_n tie_v to_o love_v those_o of_o his_o own_o species_n whence_o i_o do_v infer_v that_o your_o naturalist_n do_v with_o very_o good_a reason_n call_v the_o lion_n king_n of_o the_o beast_n and_o prefer_v he_o before_o other_o beast_n for_o generosity_n and_o strength_n because_o god_n make_v he_o advantage_v and_o show_v odds_n of_o the_o rest_n but_o by_o what_o reason_n

most_o certain_a we_o may_v secure_o say_v that_o a_o man_n which_o be_v proud_a and_o at_o enmity_n with_o another_o be_v worse_a than_o the_o devil_n or_o to_o say_v better_a pride_n and_o

than_o the_o devil_n himself_o chap._n iv._o of_o the_o nobleness_n of_o man_n the_o conclusion_n of_o the_o precedent_a chapter_n give_v we_o great_a occasion_n to_o treat_v in_o this_o chapter_n of_o the_o nobleness_n of_o man_n and_o of_o his_o excellency_n by_o reason_n of_o a_o motive_n any_o one_o may_v have_v to_o wonder_v at_o our_o last_o proposition_n wherein_o we_o conclude_v that_o man_n be_v the_o most_o abject_a imperfect_a and_o wretched_a creature_n of_o the_o world_n which_o be_v consider_v at_o the_o first_o sight_n seem_v quite_o contrary_a to_o that_o which_o both_o scripture_n and_o common_a philosophy_n teach_v we_o canonise_a man_n for_o the_o noble_a and_o perfect_a creature_n and_o true_o if_o we_o do_v with_o particular_a attention_n consider_v that_o high_a sublime_a and_o lofty_a degree_n of_o nobleness_n and_o perfection_n which_o man_n attain_v unto_o by_o that_o hypostatical_a union_n which_o the_o divine_a word_n make_v in_o the_o incarnation_n we_o shall_v free_o confess_v that_o it_o be_v the_o noble_a and_o perfect_a of_o all_o creature_n since_o the_o angelical_a nature_n do_v not_o only_o remain_v inferior_a to_o it_o but_o also_o subject_a to_o adore_v it_o in_o christ_n humanity_n whence_o as_o some_o doctor_n testify_v the_o first_o angel_n take_v occasion_n to_o rebel_v against_o his_o creator_n not_o be_v able_a to_o brook_v the_o exaltation_n of_o human_a nature_n and_o the_o extraordinary_a and_o exquisite_a favor_n which_o by_o revelation_n he_o know_v god_n will_v communicate_v unto_o it_o neither_o be_v that_o proof_n which_o be_v ordinary_o bring_v by_o they_o who_o think_v man_n inferior_a to_o the_o angel_n of_o any_o great_a force_n or_o power_n for_o whereas_o the_o vulgar_a translation_n say_v thou_o have_v make_v he_o little_a less_o than_o the_o angel_n the_o hebrew_n have_v it_o thou_o have_v make_v he_o little_a less_o than_o eloim_n which_o according_a to_o some_o rabbin_n interpretation_n signify_v that_o man_n be_v little_o less_o than_o god_n because_o that_o the_o word_n eloim_n signify_v many_o time_n god_n and_o many_o time_n angel_n and_o that_o exposition_n be_v not_o much_o out_o of_o purpose_n but_o ground_v upon_o very_o good_a reason_n for_o if_o we_o attentive_o consider_v that_o marvellous_a union_n which_o god_n make_v with_o our_o nature_n we_o shall_v find_v that_o god_n epithet_n be_v thereby_o so_o appropriate_v unto_o man_n that_o it_o may_v true_o be_v say_v that_o man_n be_v little_o lesser_a than_o god_n which_o thing_n the_o angel_n can_v glory_v in_o he_o be_v deprive_v of_o so_o notable_a a_o favour_n and_o although_o in_o all_o creature_n there_o be_v in_o some_o fashion_n a_o certain_a resemblance_n of_o god_n yet_o it_o be_v more_o perfect_a in_o man_n then_o in_o any_o of_o the_o rest_n since_o that_o in_o none_o but_o man_n be_v to_o be_v find_v the_o word_n incarnate_a his_o composition_n consist_v of_o soul_n who_o three_o power_n be_v correspondent_a to_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n and_o of_o body_n which_o unite_v to_o the_o soul_n be_v correspondent_a to_o the_o divine_a word_n in_o which_o be_v divine_o unite_a body_n and_o divinity_n and_o of_o all_o this_o the_o angel_n be_v incapable_a because_o he_o be_v incorporeal_a the_o divine_n call_v these_o perfection_n perfection_n of_o mere_a grace_n because_o that_o god_n will_v out_o of_o his_o will_n and_o mercy_n so_o favour_v this_o nature_n though_o she_o can_v no_o way_n deserve_v it_o by_o any_o virtue_n or_o excellency_n and_o in_o this_o all_o confess_v that_o human_a nature_n be_v more_o noble_a than_o the_o angelical_a since_o god_n do_v not_o bestow_v so_o many_o favour_n upon_o the_o angel_n as_o he_o do_v upon_o man_n but_o if_o we_o consider_v both_o these_o nature_n of_o themselves_o without_o any_o respect_n to_o grace_n many_o or_o almost_o all_o will_v say_v that_o the_o angel_n be_v more_o perfect_a than_o man_n in_o the_o decide_n of_o which_o question_n i_o can_v resolve_v myself_o but_o with_o a_o distinction_n note_v first_o that_o in_o man_n there_o be_v two_o thing_n to_o be_v consider_v the_o soul_n and_o the_o body_n of_o the_o soul_n some_o say_v that_o it_o be_v of_o the_o same_o substance_n and_o nature_n as_o the_o angel_n be_v incorporeal_a and_o rational_a as_o they_o but_o that_o be_v not_o a_o complete_a substance_n as_o logician_n call_v it_o wherein_o it_o only_o differ_v from_o angel_n other_o ingulf_v themselves_o into_o a_o abyss_n of_o metaphysic_n say_v that_o the_o angel_n be_v more_o perfect_a than_o the_o soul_n since_o he_o be_v not_o subject_a to_o the_o imperfection_n and_o misery_n of_o the_o soul_n and_o have_v his_o will_n not_o indifferent_a to_o good_a or_o evil_a as_o the_o soul_n have_v but_o only_o frame_v himself_o to_o do_v that_o which_o be_v good_a and_o just_a which_o reason_n i_o can_v allow_v of_o for_o consider_v the_o angel_n according_a to_o his_o own_o nature_n or_o in_o puris_fw-la naturalibus_fw-la as_o divine_n term_v it_o he_o be_v as_o indifferent_a to_o good_a or_o evil_a as_o the_o rational_a soul_n

which_o be_v evident_o prove_v by_o holy_a scripture_n which_o say_v that_o lucifer_n and_o all_o his_o follower_n do_v sink_v themselves_o into_o hell_n and_o michael_n and_o other_o good_a angel_n remain_v in_o paradise_n for_o if_o the_o angel_n by_o nature_n have_v be_v impeccable_a and_o can_v not_o have_v sin_v he_o can_v not_o have_v damn_v himself_o nor_o much_o less_o save_v himself_o if_o his_o will_n even_o from_o the_o instance_n of_o his_o creation_n have_v be_v precise_o determine_v to_o evil_a beside_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o that_o there_o be_v good_a and_o bad_a angel_n and_o that_o the_o last_o fall_v from_o heaven_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o pride_n whereby_o be_v conclude_v that_o the_o nature_n of_o angel_n precise_o consider_v be_v peccable_a and_o may_v sin_v be_v indifferent_a to_o good_a or_o evil_a as_o well_o as_o the_o soul_n yet_o the_o angel_n be_v now_o confirm_v in_o grace_n lose_v the_o indifferency_n which_o he_o have_v and_o his_o will_n remain_v now_o govern_v and_o subject_a only_a to_o good_a and_o all_o this_o may_v the_o divine_a find_v to_o be_v likewise_o in_o the_o soul_n punctual_o there_o be_v none_o so_o foolish_a as_o to_o imagine_v that_o in_o the_o bless_a there_o be_v any_o indifferency_n or_o possibility_n of_o sin_v so_o that_o by_o the_o foresay_a reason_n it_o be_v not_o conclude_v that_o the_o angel_n be_v more_o perfect_a than_o the_o soul_n and_o if_o the_o curious_a person_n will_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o speak_v my_o opinion_n free_o in_o this_o case_n i_o will_v say_v always_o subject_v myself_o to_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o father_n and_o correction_n of_o the_o church_n that_o the_o soul_n in_o this_o world_n even_o with_o its_o indifferency_n of_o sin_v or_o not_o sin_v be_v more_o perfect_a than_o the_o angel_n though_o he_o neither_o do_v nor_o can_v sin_v the_o reason_n be_v because_o the_o soul_n have_v the_o power_n to_o sin_n and_o not_o sin_v gain_v a_o great_a excellency_n and_o perfection_n than_o she_o shall_v otherwise_o have_v if_o she_o be_v good_a because_o she_o can_v not_o be_v bad_a as_o the_o angel_n be_v so_o that_o the_o indifferency_n which_o be_v in_o the_o soul_n and_o her_o be_v subject_a to_o so_o many_o temptation_n which_o daily_o fight_v against_o it_o argue_v a_o excellency_n of_o perfection_n whereby_o make_v her_o victory_n more_o glorious_a over_o her_o enemy_n her_o reward_n shall_v be_v so_o much_o the_o great_a for_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v what_o great_a commendation_n be_v it_o for_o a_o man_n to_o be_v quiet_a and_o peaceable_a when_o there_o be_v no_o boby_n strive_v against_o he_o or_o what_o be_v it_o for_o one_o to_o be_v good_a when_o there_o be_v nobody_o to_o provoke_v or_o entice_v he_o to_o be_v evil_a and_o what_o perfection_n shall_v it_o be_v not_o to_o sin_v when_o the_o will_n be_v so_o tie_v and_o subject_v as_o that_o it_o can_v sin_v none_o very_o whereby_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o soul_n even_o in_o she_o own_o nature_n be_v more_o noble_a than_o the_o angel_n true_a it_o be_v that_o if_o we_o will_v consider_v in_o angel_n that_o which_o be_v accessary_a and_o concomitate_v this_o their_o unaptness_n to_o sin_n which_o be_v glory_n and_o the_o beatifical_a vision_n in_o this_o he_o shall_v be_v more_o perfect_a than_o the_o soul_n and_o there_o shall_v be_v as_o much_o difference_n between_o they_o as_o there_o be_v between_o he_o that_o be_v bless_v and_o he_o that_o be_v not_o whereof_o i_o intend_v not_o now_o to_o discourse_v but_o if_o we_o will_v consider_v the_o counterprise_n and_o inconvenience_n whereunto_o the_o soul_n be_v subject_a whilst_o it_o live_v within_o this_o mortal_a body_n i_o mean_v the_o dependency_n it_o have_v upon_o the_o sense_n in_o all_o her_o operation_n then_o questionless_a the_o angel_n be_v incorporeal_a and_o without_o any_o dependency_n be_v more_o perfect_a than_o it_o yet_o otherwise_o the_o soul_n exceed_v all_o other_o creature_n in_o nobleness_n among_o which_o she_o only_o participate_v somewhat_o of_o god_n of_o this_o nobleness_n of_o man_n in_o respect_n of_o other_o creature_n i_o do_v not_o purpose_n to_o discourse_v but_o only_o by_o the_o way_n it_o be_v a_o thing_n which_o require_v much_o metaphysic_n and_o speculation_n wherefore_o lay_v it_o aside_o we_o will_v treat_v of_o that_o which_o it_o have_v in_o respect_n of_o its_o own_o individui_fw-la that_o be_v one_o man_n in_o respect_n of_o another_o seek_v wherein_o consist_v the_o nobleness_n of_o man_n that_o be_v to_o say_v who_o among_o man_n may_v just_o call_v himself_o noble_a and_o what_o requisite_n he_o ought_v to_o have_v that_o deserve_v such_o a_o title_n and_o name_n i_o be_o move_v to_o speak_v of_o this_o by_o
