therefore_o use_v the_o service_n of_o his_o creature_n which_o nomore_o be_v a_o derogation_n to_o his_o almighty_a power_n than_o it_o be_v a_o disgrace_v to_o a_o prince_n to_o have_v great_a

to_o have_v such_o subject_n a_o great_a glory_n it_o must_v needs_o be_v to_o the_o guide_n and_o governor_n of_o the_o whole_a world_n to_o be_v obey_v and_o serve_v of_o such_o creature_n for_o

so_o draw_v our_o life_n from_o god_n as_o though_o we_o be_v any_o parcel_n of_o his_o substance_n as_o the_o manichee_v fond_o hold_v and_o as_o one_o part_n and_o member_n of_o our_o natural_a

withdraw_v from_o we_o this_o strange_a work_n of_o his_o government_n we_o shall_v neither_o live_v nor_o move_v nor_o be_v any_o thing_n therefore_o when_o i_o define_v god_n providence_n amongst_o

thing_n as_o they_o either_o be_v in_o then selue_o or_o deserve_v to_o be_v his_o government_n therefore_o be_v just_a and_o according_a to_o reason_n he_o do_v not_o honour_n fly_v and_o gnat_n with_o such_o dignity_n and_o pre-eminence_n as_o he_o do_v man_n nor_o man_n as_o angel_n nor_o one_o man_n as_o another_o but_o as_o boetius_fw-la say_v in_o a_o place_n before_o mention_v in_o my_o
