of_o the_o angel_n and_o what_o shall_v we_o understand_v by_o the_o twelve_o tribe_n of_o israel_n according_o to_o your_o opinion_n shall_v we●_n take_v they_o for_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o

this_o may_v be_v gather_v from_o the_o apostle_n who_o say_v not_o thus_o know_v you_o not_o that_o the_o apostle_n or_o prophet_n but_o know_v you_o not_o that_o we_o shall_v judge_v the_o angel_n he_o speak_v of_o all_o and_o not_o of_o some_o saint_n only_o see_v then_o the_o twelve_o tribe_n of_o israel_n as_o you_o apply_v this_o say_n to_o the_o universal_a judgement_n can_v neither_o be_v take_v for_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o glorify_a saint_n nor_o for_o the_o reprobate_a jew_n it_o must_v needs_o follow_v that_o you_o be_v out_o in_o your_o application_n and_o consequent_o the_o

he_o in_o his_o kingdom_n for_o see_v all_o other_o saint_n shall_v join_v with_o they_o in_o judge_v of_o the_o reprobate_a angel_n much_o more_o shall_v they_o in_o judge_v the_o reprobate_a jew_n
