the_o first_o place_n in_o our_o lytanie_n we_o have_v for_o our_o warrant_n the_o authority_n and_o example_n of_o the_o holy_a patriarch_n jacob_n express_o set_v down_o in_o holy_a scripture_n

the_o angel_n of_o the_o covenant_n to_o distinguish_v that_o angel_n from_o all_o other_o so_o that_o there_o be_v no_o appearance_n or_o colour_n of_o likelihood_n out_o of_o that_o place_n so_o unlike_a to_o interpret_v this_o it_o remain_v then_o that_o the_o word_n angel_n be_v take_v proper_o as_o it_o be_v most_o common_o in_o holy_a scripture_n for_o a_o heavenly_a spirit_n appoint_v

he_o again_o the_o wise_a patriarch_n and_o prophet_n must_v be_v make_v to_o speak_v very_o fond_o if_o he_o shall_v pray_v he_o that_o be_v not_o in_o rerum_fw-la natura_fw-la to_o bless_v those_o
