of_o the_o world_n 13._o second_o that_o there_o be_v spiritual_a substance_n which_o we_o call_v angel_n which_o now_o enjoy_v the_o most_o happy_a sight_n of_o god_n and_o that_o many_o thousand_o

and_o yet_o not_o any_o one_o of_o all_o these_o article_n be_v express_v or_o set_v down_o in_o the_o apostle_n creed_n whence_o i_o conclude_v that_o the_o apostle_n creed_n can_v be_v a_o

of_o
particular_a choice_n to_o insist_v upon_o omit_v some_o other_o of_o like_a nature_n because_o we_o see_v that_o most_o or_o all_o of_o they_o do_v immediate_o and_o principal_o as_o be_v above_o
