to_o be_v the_o image_n of_o god_n for_o this_o be_v near_a to_o god_n himself_o who_o be_v never_o make_v at_o all_o to_o be_v make_v of_o nothing_o and_o then_o man_n consider_v in_o nature_n be_v otherwise_o the_o near_a representation_n of_o god_n too_o for_o the_o step_n which_o we_o consider_v be_v four_o first_o esse_fw-la be_v for_o some_o thing_n have_v only_o a_o be_v and_o no_o life_n

soul_n of_o man_n have_v such_o a_o image_n of_o that_o as_o that_o though_o man_n have_v a_o beginning_n which_o the_o original_a the_o eternal_a god_n himself_o have_v not_o yet_o man_n shall_v no_o

continual_a succession_n of_o prophet_n till_o the_o messiah_n shall_v come_v and_o now_o that_o he_o be_v come_v and_o go_v still_o god_n pursue_v the_o same_o way_n how_o shall_v they_o believe_v except_o they_o hear_v and_o therefore_o god_n evermore_o supply_v his_o church_n with_o visible_a and_o sensible_a mean_n and_o know_v that_o the_o natural_a inclination_n of_o man_n who_o when_o he_o can_v have_v or_o can_v comprehend_v the_o original_n and_o prototype_n desire_v to_o satisfy_v and_o refresh_v himself_o with_o a_o picture_n and_o representation_n so_o though_o god_n have_v forbid_v we_o that_o slippery_a frivolous_a and_o dangerous_a use_n of_o grave_a image_n yet_o he_o have_v afford_v we_o his_o son_n who_o be_v the_o image_n of_o the_o invisible_a god_n and_o so_o more_o proportional_a to_o we_o more_o apprehensible_a by_o we_o and_o so_o this_o commit_n be_v no_o more_o but_o that_o god_n in_o another_o form_n then_o that_o of_o god_n have_v manifest_v his_o

but_o yet_o neither_o be_o i_o willing_a to_o raise_v doubt_n and_o leave_v the_o auditory_a unsatisfy_a and_o unsettled_a we_o be_v not_o upon_o a_o lecture_n but_o upon_o a_o sermon_n and_o therefore_o we_o will_v not_o multiply_v variety_n of_o opinion_n sum_z up_o the_o father_n upon_o one_o side_n in_o s._n ambrose_n mouth_n and_o they_o will_v say_v with_o he_o deditutique_fw-la
