as_o well_o in_o the_o army_n of_o heaven_n as_o in_o the_o dweller_n of_o the_o earth_n by_o the_o army_n of_o heaven_n i_o do_v not_o understand_v as_o in_o other_o place_n the_o sun_n the_o moon_n the_o star_n but_o the_o angel_n themselves_o and_o even_o the_o very_a devil_n which_o may_v well_o be_v call_v heavenly_a in_o respect_n of_o their_o beginning_n and_o furthermore_o we_o know_v that_o they_o be_v the_o prince_n of_o the_o air_n therefore_o signify_v daniel_n as_o well_o the_o angel_n as_o devil_n and_o man_n to_o be_v govern_v by_o his_o will_n and_o although_o the_o wicked_a do_v rush_v out_o never_o so_o outrageous_o yet_o they_o be_v hold_v in_o by_o a_o secret_a bridle_n that_o they_o can_v not_o fulfil_v what_o soever_o they_o lust_v therefore_o be_v god_n say_v to_o work_v as_o well_o in_o the_o army_n of_o heaven_n as_o in_o man_n what_o soever_o he_o will_v because_o he_o have_v the_o angel_n obedient_a unto_o he_o that_o be_v the_o elect_a but_o the_o devil_n be_v compel_v to_o obey_v his_o rule_n although_o they_o will_v do_v the_o contrary_n we_o know_v that_o the_o devil_n be_v by_o all_o mean_n against_o god_n but_o yet_o at_o the_o length_n they_o be_v compel_v to_o obey_v he_o not_o willing_o but_o by_o constraint_n and_o even_o as_o he_o deal_v with_o the_o angel_n and_o devil_n so_o also_o he_o do_v with_o the_o dweller_n on_o earth_n for_o some_o do_v he_o govern_v with_o his_o spirit_n that_o be_v the_o elect_a which_o after_o that_o they_o be_v regenerate_v by_o his_o spirit_n be_v so_o lead_v of_o he_o that_o his_o righteousness_n do_v true_o shine_v forth_o in_o all_o their_o work_n he_o work_v also_o in_o the_o reprobate_n but_o after_o a_o other_o sort_n for_o he_o draw_v they_o headlong_o by_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o devil_n he_o drive_v they_o by_o his_o secret_a power_n he_o strike_v they_o with_o the_o spirit_n of_o brayneséekenes_n he_o blind_v they_o and_o cast_v they_o into_o a_o reprobate_a sense_n he_o harden_v also_o their_o heart_n to_o stubbornness_n behold_v how_o god_n do_v work_v all_o thing_n by_o his_o will_n in_o man_n and_o angel_n now_o there_o be_v a_o other_o kind_n of_o work_v for_o as_o much_o as_o belong_v to_o the_o outward_a state_n for_o god_n do_v lift_v this_o man_n on_o high_a and_o cast_v down_o a_o other_o so_o we_o see_v that_o rich_a man_n often_o time_n become_v poor_a and_o some_o be_v lift_v up_o from_o the_o dunghill_n to_o climb_v to_o high_a degree_n of_o honour_n the_o profane_a man_n do_v call_v it_o the_o play_n of_o fortune_n but_o it_o be_v the_o incomprehensible_a and_o most_o just_a moderation_n of_o the_o providence_n of_o god_n thus_o god_n work_v then_o after_o his_o will_n in_o man_n and_o angel_n but_o that_o inward_a action_n shall_v be_v put_v in_o the_o first_o place_n as_o we_o have_v say_v 33_o at_o the_o same_o time_n be_v my_o understanding_n restore_v unto_o i_o and_o i_o return_v to_o the_o honour_n of_o my_o kingdom_n my_o glory_n and_o my_o beauty_n be_v restore_v unto_o i_o and_o my_o counsailler_n and_o my_o prince_n seek_v unto_o i_o and_o i_o be_v establish_v in_o my_o kingdom_n and_o my_o glory_n be_v augment_v towards_o i_o here_o do_v nebuchadnezer_n declare_v more_o copious_o that_o which_o he_o have_v touch_v brief_o before_o that_o be_v to_o say_v that_o he_o have_v recover_v his_o wit_n again_o and_o so_o do_v he_o commend_v the_o mercy_n of_o god_n because_o he_o be_v content_a with_o a_o small_a temporal_a correction_n &_o at_o the_o length_n give_v he_o his_o merciful_a hand_n to_o make_v he_o a_o man_n again_o of_o a_o brute_n beast_n not_o that_o he_o be_v change_v into_o a_o beast_n as_o be_v say_v already_o but_o because_o he_o be_v bring_v to_o that_o shameful_a misery_n that_o he_o be_v like_o the_o wild_a beast_n and_o feed_v also_o with_o they_o wherefore_o that_o deformity_n be_v so_o horrible_a that_o the_o restore_a may_v be_v call_v as_o it_o be_v a_o new_a creation_n and_o therefore_o nebuchadnezer_n do_v so_o much_o celebrate_v this_o grace_n of_o god_n not_o without_o cause_n therefore_o in_o that_o time_n my_o understanding_n be_v restore_v to_o i_o he_o have_v speak_v this_o once_o but_o because_o understanding_n &_o reason_n be_v a_o inestimable_a benefit_n of_o god_n nebuchadnezer_n do_v inculcate_v this_o sentence_n &_o do_v confess_v that_o he_o have_v try_v the_o singular_a grace_n of_o god_n because_o he_o be_v restore_v to_o his_o mind_n again_o and_o he_o do_v also_o add_v that_o he_o be_v restore_v to_o his_o honour_n and_o to_o the_o excellency_n of_o his_o kingdom_n because_o he_o be_v seek_v to_o of_o his_o counsellor_n and_o noble_n it_o be_v not_o know_v how_o this_o be_v fulfil_v because_o the_o memory_n of_o those_o time_n be_v bury_v but_o that_o it_o be_v probable_a that_o at_o the_o length_n the_o prince_n of_o the_o kingdom_n be_v bow_v to_o clemency_n that_o they_o covet_v to_o receive_v to_o they_o the_o king_n that_o be_v cast_v forth_o we_o will_v not_o say_v that_o this_o be_v do_v of_o they_o of_o purpose_n for_o god_n so_o use_v they_o that_o yet_o they_o know_v not_o that_o they_o do_v execute_v that_o which_o he_o determine_v they_o hear_v a_o voice_n from_o heaven_n to_o thou_o be_v it_o speak_v oh_o king_n nebuchadnezer_n behold_v the_o kingdom_n be_v go_v from_o thou_o etc_n etc_n this_o thing_n ought_v to_o have_v be_v know_v amongst_o all_o man_n &_o to_o have_v be_v spread_v abroad_o amongst_o all_o but_o we_o know_v that_o man_n do_v very_o easy_o forget_v when_o god_n speak_v the_o prince_n therefore_o though_o they_o do_v not_o know_v that_o they_o do_v god_n service_n therein_o yet_o require_v they_o their_o king_n by_o this_o mean_n he_o return_v to_o his_o dignity_n of_o the_o kingdom_n and_o his_o honour_n be_v great_a than_o it_o be_v before_o 34_o now_o therefore_o i_o nebuchadnezer_n praise_n and_o extol_v and_o magnify_v the_o king_n of_o heaven_n who_o work_n be_v all_o truth_n and_o his_o way_n judgement_n and_o those_o that_o walk_v in_o pride_n he_o be_v able_a to_o abase_v this_o be_v the_o end_n of_o the_o commandment_n where_o nebuchadnezer_n do_v join_v a_o notable_a confession_n of_o his_o fault_n with_o the_o praise_n of_o god_n for_o that_o which_o he_o do_v add_v of_o the_o proud_a he_o do_v undoubted_o proper_o apply_v to_o his_o own_o person_n as_o though_o he_o shall_v say_v god_n will_v set_v i_o forth_o as_o a_o notable_a example_n whereby_o all_o may_v know_v that_o the_o proud_a be_v humble_v by_o his_o hand_n for_o i_o be_v puff_v up_o with_o pride_n but_o god_n have_v thus_o correct_v i_o by_o a_o horrible_a punishment_n that_o now_o my_o example_n may_v profit_v all_o man_n therefore_o have_v i_o say_v that_o the_o king_n nebuchadnezer_n do_v not_o thank_v god_n here_o simple_o but_o do_v also_o confess_v his_o fault_n because_o he_o be_v worthy_o bring_v by_o such_o severity_n into_o subjection_n for_o his_o arrogancy_n can_v by_o no_o light_a remedy_n be_v correct_v but_o first_o he_o say_v i_o praise_v extol_v and_o glorify_v the_o king_n of_o heaven_n there_o be_v no_o doubt_n but_o this_o heap_n of_o word_n come_v of_o a_o vehement_a affection_n and_o here_o also_o the_o antethesis_n must_v be_v understand_v by_o that_o principle_n which_o we_o have_v see_v before_o that_o be_v that_o god_n be_v never_o right_o praise_v until_o the_o shame_n of_o man_n be_v uncover_v that_o god_n be_v never_o right_o extol_v but_o when_o their_o highness_n be_v throw_v down_o that_o god_n be_v never_o glorify_v but_o when_o man_n be_v as_o it_o be_v overwhelm_v with_o shame_n fall_v down_o upon_o the_o earth_n therefore_o also_o while_o nebuchadnezer_n do_v in_o this_o place_n praise_n extol_v and_o glorify_v god_n he_o do_v also_o confess_v as_o before_o that_o both_o he_o and_o all_o mortal_a man_n be_v nothing_o do_v deserve_v no_o praise_n but_o be_v worthy_a of_o all_o shame_n afterwards_o he_o add_v because_o all_o his_o work_n be_v truth_n here_o kesot_v be_v take_v for_o righteousness_n and_o integrity_n for_o emez_fw-fr dine_v be_v call_v true_a judgement_n but_o it_o be_v here_o refer_v to_o equity_n therefore_o all_o the_o work_n of_o god_n be_v verity_n that_o be_v they_o be_v upright_o as_o though_o he_o shall_v say_v that_o nothing_o be_v worthy_a to_o be_v reprehend_v in_o the_o work_n of_o god_n therefore_o the_o explication_n follow_v that_o all_o his_o way_n be_v judgement_n we_o see_v therefore_o that_o here_o be_v praise_v in_o god_n perfect_a justice_n this_o aught_o to_o be_v also_o refer_v unto_o nebuchadnezer_n as_o though_o he_o shall_v say_v god_n do_v not_o handle_v i_o over_o rough_o there_o be_v no_o

evident_a for_o who_o be_v that_o god_n say_v he_o he_o except_v not_o god_n if_o a_o man_n answer_v that_o he_o speak_v by_o comparison_n because_o he_o will_v defend_v the_o glory_n of_o his_o god_n that_o he_o worship_v yet_o when_o he_o belch_v forth_o this_o blasphemy_n against_o all_o god_n sure_o his_o arrogancy_n be_v intolerable_a yea_o it_o be_v a_o devilish_a fury_n which_o drive_v he_o so_o far_o now_o let_v we_o come_v to_o the_o chief_a point_n where_o daniel_n declare_v with_o how_o great_a constancy_n sadrach_n mesach_n and_o abednego_n be_v endue_v 16_o sadrach_n mesach_n and_o abednego_n answer_v and_o say_v to_o the_o king_n oh_o nebuchadnezer_n we_o be_v not_o careful_a to_o answer_v thou_o in_o this_o matter_n 17_o behold_v our_o god_n who_o we_o serve_v be_v able_a to_o deliver_v we_o from_o the_o hot_a fiery_a furnace_n and_o he_o will_v deliver_v we_o out_o of_o thy_o hand_n oh_o king_n 18_o but_o if_o not_o be_v it_o know_v to_o thou_o oh_o king_n that_o we_o will_v not_o serve_v thy_o god_n nor_o worship_n the_o golden_a image_n which_o thou_o have_v set_v up_o this_o be_v the_o chief_a thing_n to_o be_v consider_v in_o this_o history_n that_o these_o three_o holy_a man_n do_v remain_v constant_a in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n though_o they_o do_v know_v most_o present_a danger_n of_o death_n to_o hang_v over_o their_o head_n wherefore_o when_o death_n be_v set_v before_o their_o eye_n they_o turn_v not_o back_o from_o their_o right_a course_n but_o they_o set_v more_o by_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n then_o by_o their_o own_o life_n yea_o then_o by_o a_o hundred_o life_n if_o it_o have_v be_v needful_a to_o have_v bestow_v so_o many_o and_o that_o have_v be_v grant_v unto_o they_o daniel_n do_v not_o rehearse_v all_o their_o word_n but_o gather_v a_o brief_a sum_n only_o in_o the_o which_o yet_o that_o invincible_a power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n wherewith_o they_o be_v endue_v do_v plain_o appear_v sure_o this_o be_v a_o horrible_a threaten_n when_o the_o king_n say_v if_o you_o be_v not_o ready_a to_o fall_v down_o before_o the_o image_n at_o the_o blast_n of_o the_o trumpet_n you_o shall_v the_o same_o hour_n be_v cast_v into_o the_o fiery_a furnace_n when_o the_o king_n thunder_v after_o this_o manner_n they_o may_v be_v shake_v as_o man_n for_o we_o know_v how_o dear_a life_n be_v unto_o we_o &_o how_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n smite_v all_o our_o sense_n but_o daniel_n rehearse_v all_o these_o circumstance_n that_o we_o may_v know_v that_o there_o be_v more_o strength_n in_o the_o servant_n of_o god_n when_o they_o be_v lead_v with_o his_o spirit_n they_o that_o they_o shall_v geve_v place_n to_o any_o threaten_n or_o fall_v down_o for_o any_o terror_n they_o answer_v the_o king_n that_o there_o need_v no_o long_a consultation_n for_o in_o that_o they_o say_v that_o they_o be_v not_o careful_a they_o signify_v by_o this_o word_n that_o the_o matter_n be_v determine_v as_o that_o worthy_a say_n of_o cyprian_a be_v report_v by_o augustine_n when_o the_o courtier_n do_v counsel_v he_o that_o he_o shall_v regard_v his_o life_n for_o the_o emperor_n do_v against_o his_o will_n judge_v he_o to_o torment_v when_o flatterer_n do_v thus_o urge_v he_o of_o every_o side_n to_o save_v his_o life_n by_o denial_n of_o religion_n he_o answer_v in_o a_o matter_n that_o be_v holy_a or_o of_o religion_n there_o need_v no_o deliberation_n so_o do_v these_o holy_a man_n say_v we_o care_v not_o that_o be_v we_o never_o enter_v into_o consultation_n or_o deliberation_n what_o be_v expedient_a what_o be_v profitable_a no_o this_o be_v already_o conclude_v that_o we_o by_o no_o mean_n will_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o pure_a worship_n of_o god_n if_o thou_o read_v it_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o answer_v thou_o it_n will_v be_v almost_o the_o same_o sense_n for_o they_o declare_v that_o the_o fear_n of_o death_n be_v in_o vain_a set_v before_o they_o for_o they_o be_v utter_o determine_v and_o their_o heart_n settle_v not_o to_o swerve_v one_o straw_n bread_n from_o the_o true_a and_o lawful_a worship_n of_o god._n and_o here_o they_o do_v use_v two_o reason_n to_o reject_v that_o which_o the_o king_n propound_v they_o say_v that_o god_n have_v power_n and_o strength_n enough_o to_o deliver_v they_o again_o though_o they_o shall_v die_v yet_o that_o they_o do_v not_o so_o much_o esteem_n life_n that_o they_o will_v deny_v god_n to_o prolong_v it_o therefore_o they_o declare_v themselves_o to_o be_v ready_a to_o die_v if_o the_o king_n will_v so_o rigorous_o urge_v they_o to_o worship_n the_o image_n this_o place_n be_v worthy_a to_o be_v note_v for_o first_o this_o answer_n be_v to_o be_v learn_v that_o when_o man_n be_v about_o to_o bring_v we_o to_o deny_v god_n we_o must_v shut_v our_o ear_n and_o take_v no_o far_o advisement_n for_o even_o then_o begin_v we_o to_o do_v great_a injury_n unto_o god_n when_o we_o dispute_v whether_o we_o may_v decline_v from_o his_o pure_a worship_n or_o no_o what_o so_o ever_o cause_n may_v thereunto_o move_v we_o and_o will_v to_o god_n this_o be_v well_o know_v to_o all_o man_n that_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n do_v excel_v and_o surmount_v all_o thing_n that_o all_o must_v be_v bring_v law_n when_o the_o diminish_v or_o obscure_n thereof_o be_v intend_v but_o this_o craft_n beguile_v many_o now_o a_o day_n that_o they_o think_v it_o lawful_a to_o way_n as_o it_o be_v in_o balance_n whether_o it_o be_v better_a for_o a_o time_n to_o turn_v from_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n when_o any_o profit_n do_v offer_v itself_o of_o the_o other_o side_n as_o we_o do_v see_v at_o this_o day_n such_o dissembler_n of_o who_o the_o world_n be_v full_a to_o have_v their_o colour_n to_o cloak_v their_o wickedness_n when_o either_o they_o worship_n the_o idol_n with_o the_o wicked_a or_o else_o they_o deny_v either_o privy_o or_o open_o the_o true_a religion_n oh_o what_o be_v to_o be_v do_v the_o man_n that_o be_v in_o any_o office_n will_v say_v i_o see_v how_o much_o good_a i_o can_v do_v if_o i_o dissemble_v a_o little_a and_o do_v not_o show_v myself_o what_o i_o be_o for_o this_o plain_n will_v not_o only_o hurt_v i_o private_o but_o all_o other_o if_o the_o king_n have_v none_o that_o may_v sometime_o pacify_v his_o anger_n the_o wicked_a thereby_o shall_v be_v unbridled_a and_o have_v their_o will_n and_o liberty_n to_o drive_v he_o unto_o all_o cruelty_n it_o be_v better_a therefore_o that_o some_o keep_v a_o mean_a and_o so_o hearken_v and_o lie_v in_o wait_n what_o the_o wicked_a do_v and_o so_o though_o they_o can_v not_o do_v it_o open_o yet_o by_o some_o secret_a practice_n they_o may_v turn_v away_o the_o danger_n from_o the_o head_n of_o the_o godly_a when_o they_o object_v these_o argument_n they_o think_v that_o god_n be_v answer_v as_o though_o sadrach_n mesach_n and_o abednego_n can_v not_o have_v pretend_v the_o same_o or_o as_o though_o it_o have_v not_o come_v into_o their_o mind_n thus_o to_o say_v behold_v we_o be_v now_o arm_v with_o some_o authority_n to_o help_v our_o brethren_n and_o what_o a_o barbarous_a cruelty_n will_v be_v execute_v amongst_o they_o if_o the_o open_a enemy_n of_o religion_n come_v into_o our_o place_n for_o as_o much_o as_o lie_v in_o they_o they_o will_v destroy_v and_o root_v out_o of_o the_o earth_n our_o nation_n and_o all_o memory_n of_o true_a religion_n be_v it_o not_o better_o then_o that_o we_o for_o a_o time_n give_v place_n unto_o tyranny_n and_o to_o this_o cruel_a commandment_n of_o the_o king_n then_o to_o leave_v our_o place_n destitute_a which_o straight_o way_n shall_v be_v occupy_v with_o outrageous_a enemy_n who_o will_v utter_o overcome_v our_o miserable_a nation_n which_o be_v to_o much_o oppress_v already_o i_o say_v they_o may_v have_v gather_v all_o these_o cloak_n and_o colour_n to_o excuse_v their_o infidelity_n if_o for_o the_o avoid_n of_o danger_n they_o have_v

for_o ever_o 28_o nebuchadnezer_n speak_v and_o say_v blessed_a be_v the_o god_n of_o sadrach_n mesach_n and_o abednego_n who_o have_v send_v his_o angel_n and_o deliver_v his_o servant_n that_o put_v

this_o be_v a_o rare_a confession_n of_o a_o king_n but_o it_o will_v appear_v by_o process_n that_o he_o be_v carry_v with_o a_o sudden_a vehemency_n and_o that_o there_o be_v no_o lively_a root_n of_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n in_o his_o heart_n and_o i_o do_v repete_fw-la this_o again_o that_o we_o may_v know_v that_o true_a repentance_n do_v not_o consist_v in_o one_o work_n or_o twain_o but_o in_o perseverance_n &_o continuance_n as_o paul_n say_v if_o you_o do_v live_v in_o the_o spirit_n walk_v you_o in_o the_o spirit_n where_o he_o require_v constancy_n of_o the_o faithful_a 5.25_o that_o they_o may_v show_v themselves_o to_o be_v true_o regenerate_v by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god._n nebuchadnezer_n therefore_o as_o one_o ravish_v in_o spirit_n magnify_v the_o god_n of_o israel_n but_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n he_o mingle_v his_o idol_n with_o the_o true_a god_n so_o be_v there_o nothing_o pure_a in_o his_o fact_n even_o so_o the_o wicked_a when_o they_o have_v feel_v god_n power_n they_o dare_v not_o go_v forward_o stubborn_o against_o he_o but_o they_o will_v please_v and_o pacify_v he_o with_o some_o feign_a repentance_n yet_o do_v they_o never_o put_v of_o their_o old_a corruption_n as_o be_v plain_a in_o nebuchadnezer_n that_o he_o be_v always_o one_o though_o god_n at_o the_o sudden_a cause_v he_o thus_o to_o confess_v that_o the_o god_n of_o sadrach_n be_v bless_v but_o why_o call_v he_o he_o not_o his_o god_n this_o may_v be_v excuse_v if_o he_o have_v very_o give_v himself_o to_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n and_o cast_v away_o all_o superstition_n howbeit_o he_o do_v not_o so_o therefore_o be_v his_o confession_n but_o feign_a not_o that_o he_o go_v about_o to_o dissemble_v with_o man_n to_o get_v their_o favour_n but_o he_o deceive_v himself_o as_o hypocrite_n use_v to_o do_v he_o pronounce_v the_o god_n of_o sadrach_n mesach_n and_o abednego_n to_o be_v bless_v if_o he_o have_v do_v this_o pure_o he_o shall_v have_v curse_v all_o his_o idol_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o the_o true_a and_o only_a god_n can_v not_o be_v extol_v &_o magnify_v unless_o all_o the_o idol_n be_v bring_v to_o nought_o for_o wherein_o stand_v the_o praise_n of_o god_n but_o that_o he_o alone_o have_v the_o preeminence_n if_o any_o other_o god_n be_v set_v by_o he_o then_o be_v his_o majesty_n darken_v as_o it_o be_v with_o cloud_n hereby_o then_o may_v we_o gather_v that_o nebuchadnezer_n be_v not_o touch_v with_o true_a repentance_n when_o he_o bless_v the_o god_n of_o israel_n he_o add_v which_o send_v his_o angel_n and_o deliver_v his_o servant_n here_o daniel_n more_o plain_o declare_v that_o nebuchadnezer_n be_v not_o convert_v to_o receive_v the_o god_n of_o israel_n &_o to_o worship_v he_o true_o with_o a_o pure_a affection_n of_o his_o heart_n why_o so_o for_o true_a holiness_n be_v always_o ground_v in_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o true_a god_n which_o require_v doctrine_n nebuchadnezer_n do_v know_v that_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n be_v the_o high_a god_n whereby_o very_o by_o his_o power_n for_o he_o have_v a_o spectacle_n set_v before_o his_o eye_n which_o he_o can_v not_o contemn_v though_o he_o will_v thus_o then_o do_v he_o grant_v the_o god_n of_o israel_n to_o be_v the_o high_a god_n teach_v by_o this_o miracle_n but_o this_o be_v not_o sufficient_a unto_o true_a holiness_n as_o i_o have_v admonish_v except_o also_o doctrine_n be_v join_v unto_o it_o yea_o &_o have_v the_o chief_a part_n i_o do_v grant_v very_o well_o that_o man_n be_v prepare_v unto_o faith_n by_o miracle_n but_o if_o nothing_o save_o bare_a miracle_n appear_v and_o no_o knowledge_n be_v join_v out_o of_o the_o very_a word_n of_o god_n it_o will_v be_v but_o a_o shadow_n of_o faith_n as_o we_o have_v here_o a_o most_o manifest_a example_n let_v we_o know_v then_o that_o this_o be_v a_o particular_a faith_n in_o king_n nebuchadnezer_n for_o he_o have_v all_o his_o mind_n bend_v upon_o the_o miracle_n and_o be_v content_a with_o that_o spectacle_n he_o do_v not_o inquire_v who_o be_v that_o god_n of_o israel_n or_o what_o his_o law_n do_v comprehend_v neither_o yet_o be_v be_v careful_a for_o the_o mediator_n final_o he_o neglect_v and_o despise_v the_o whole_a substance_n of_o true_a holiness_n and_o take_v hold_v unadvised_o but_o of_o one_o part_n only_o this_o do_v we_o see_v daily_o in_o many_o profane_a man_n for_o god_n many_o time_n do_v humble_v they_o and_o cause_v they_o to_o fly_v unto_o he_o for_o succour_v but_o in_o the_o mean_a season_n they_o remain_v wrap_v in_o their_o own_o wit_n and_o do_v not_o renounce_v their_o superstition_n neither_o regard_n which_o be_v the_o true_a worship_n of_o god_n for_o to_o approve_v our_o service_n unto_o god_n this_o principle_n must_v be_v remember_v 14.23_o that_o nothing_o do_v please_v he_o which_o be_v not_o of_o faith_n and_o that_o faith_n can_v not_o be_v conceive_v by_o any_o miracle_n or_o by_o any_o sense_n of_o divine_a power_n but_o that_o it_o must_v have_v doctrine_n also_o for_o miracle_n be_v of_o force_n only_o to_o prepare_v the_o mind_n or_o to_o confirm_v religion_n but_o of_o they_o self_n they_o can_v not_o bring_v man_n to_o the_o true_a worship_n of_o god._n and_o this_o be_v marvellous_a that_o this_o profane_a king_n say_v that_o a_o angel_n be_v send_v from_o god_n save_v that_o it_o be_v evident_a in_o the_o profane_a writer_n that_o there_o be_v always_o some_o thing_n know_v of_o the_o angel_n this_o be_v a_o certain_a before_o conceive_a persuasion_n of_o the_o angel_n like_v as_o also_o amongst_o all_o people_n there_o be_v some_o taste_n that_o there_o be_v a_o god_n and_o where_o daniel_n say_v before_o that_o the_o four_o which_o be_v in_o the_o furnace_n be_v call_v the_o

more_o plain_o that_o god_n have_v send_v his_o angel_n and_o how_o the_o angel_n do_v help_v the_o elect_a and_o the_o faithful_a i_o there_o touch_v brief_o and_o i_o do_v not_o use_v to_o stand_v long_o upon_o common_a place_n for_o this_o place_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o note_v that_o the_o wicked_a which_o never_o hear_v any_o thing_n of_o god_n or_o of_o true_a holiness_n
