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

for_o there_o the_o spaniard_n make_v a_o end_n where_o the_o frenchman_n begin_v as_o i_o shall_v show_v in_o the_o follow_a chapter_n as_o for_o the_o soul_n i_o must_v confess_v that_o they_o be_v
