divine_a glory_n if_o he_o shall_v vouchsafe_v to_o come_v unto_o we_o in_o all_o his_o royalty_n i_o will_v not_o tell_v you_o any_o poetical_a fable_n but_o the_o truth_n of_o god_n the_o israelite_n try_v this_o for_o when_o the_o lord_n appear_v to_o they_o in_o mount_n sinai_n with_o thunder_n and_o lightning_n they_o present_o find_v their_o own_o weakness_n and_o make_v suit_n to_o moses_n let_v not_o the_o lord_n speak_v unto_o we_o 19_o lest_o we_o die_v but_o speak_v thou_o unto_o we_o and_o we_o will_v hear_v thou_o and_o therefore_o job_n wish_v that_o god_n will_v lay_v aside_o his_o terror_n and_o reason_n with_o he_o familiar_o to_o which_o when_o the_o lord_n gracious_o condescend_v what_o be_v the_o issue_n instead_o of_o his_o former_a disputation_n he_o grow_v to_o this_o conclusion_n 15._o i_o abhor_v myself_o in_o dust_n and_o ash_n and_o god_n promise_v this_o as_o a_o blessing_n i_o will_v raise_v you_o up_o a_o prophet_n from_o among_o your_o brethren_n he_o shall_v teach_v you_o and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n stoop_v to_o our_o capacity_n give_v we_o so_o as_o we_o may_v receive_v and_o speak_v to_o we_o man_n by_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n as_o the_o most_o proportionable_a instrument_n to_o work_v upon_o we_o not_o much_o unlike_a astyanax_n in_o the_o poet_n who_o when_o his_o father_n be_v arm_v come_v to_o embrace_v he_o 〈◊〉_d the_o child_n forthwith_o hide_v his_o face_n in_o his_o nurse_n bosom_n cry_v and_o be_v afraid_a at_o the_o sight_n of_o his_o father_n when_o he_o see_v his_o hairy_a plume_n upon_o his_o headpiece_n bend_v towards_o he_o like_a as_o the_o sun_n when_o he_o list_v to_o be_v see_v delay_v his_o beam_n in_o some_o thick_a cloud_n that_o the_o edge_n of_o his_o brightness_n be_v abate_v our_o dim_a eye_n may_v not_o be_v too_o much_o offend_v again_o thus_o the_o trouble_a soul_n may_v have_v free_a access_n to_o the_o minister_n which_o comfort_n can_v hardly_o be_v convey_v another_o way_n especial_o consider_v who_o the_o lord_n make_v choice_n of_o to_o bestow_v the_o riches_n of_o his_o grace_n upon_o not_o the_o great_a one_o of_o the_o world_n so_o much_o but_o the_o mean_a one_o now_o as_o you_o have_v see_v in_o a_o fair_a the_o country_n people_n will_v not_o venture_v into_o the_o rich_a shop_n among_o the_o fine_a citizen_n but_o have_v rather_o bestow_v their_o money_n on_o some_o country_n chapman_n so_o it_o may_v be_v in_o this_o case_n and_o therefore_o the_o lord_n appoint_v man_n and_o mean_a man_n that_o even_o the_o mean_a christian_n may_v more_o free_o repair_v unto_o they_o 2._o second_o the_o ministry_n of_o man_n be_v more_o credible_a than_o angel_n or_o any_o other_o can_v be_v for_o though_o their_o testimony_n be_v of_o more_o weight_n in_o itself_o by_o reason_n of_o their_o accurate_a knowledge_n and_o entire_a fidelity_n yet_o i_o know_v not_o how_o a_o man_n may_v have_v more_o advantage_n to_o deal_v with_o we_o for_o to_o let_v pass_v the_o irrefragable_a authority_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n upon_o which_o all_o divine_a truth_n must_v stand_v which_o will_v be_v needless_a if_o it_o please_v god_n to_o take_v any_o other_o course_n than_o this_o and_o to_o omit_v that_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o give_v such_o infallible_a character_n whereby_o divine_a illumination_n may_v be_v distinguish_v from_o diabolical_a illusion_n that_o all_o ambignity_n may_v be_v take_v away_o i_o say_v 1._o first_o man_n converse_v with_o we_o be_v know_v they_o be_v our_o brethren_n flesh_n of_o our_o flesh_n and_o bone_n of_o our_o bone_n and_o therefore_o what_o suspicion_n can_v arise_v that_o they_o who_o be_v otherwise_o approve_v shall_v go_v about_o to_o deceive_v we_o in_o a_o thing_n that_o be_v as_o much_o worth_n as_o our_o soul_n be_v 2._o they_o can_v deceive_v other_o but_o they_o must_v deceive_v their_o own_o soul_n be_v they_o be_v in_o eâdem_fw-la navi_fw-la in_o the_o same_o

they_o prescribe_v to_o we_o secure_v we_o of_o all_o fear_n of_o poison_n 4._o last_o they_o may_v and_o do_v sometime_o set_v a_o seal_n of_o suffer_v to_o their_o say_n but_o i_o pass_v to_o the_o three_o three_o the_o ministry_n of_o man_n be_v most_o effectual_a as_o for_o those_o respect_n touch_v before_o and_o because_o they_o symbolize_v in_o quality_n whereas_o philosophy_n teach_v that_o there_o be_v easy_a transmutation_n where_o there_o be_v a_o symbolical_a quality_n between_o the_o agent_n and_o the_o patient_a and_o because_o they_o sympathize_v in_o nature_n so_o that_o there_o may_v be_v a_o secret_a attractive_a power_n as_o we_o see_v in_o the_o loadstone_n to_o the_o iron_n or_o rather_o a_o mutual_a conspire_v to_o embrace_v one_o another_o so_o even_o by_o the_o very_a art_n of_o persuade_v i_o know_v not_o what_o the_o tongue-eloquence_n of_o angel_n be_v and_o the_o apostle_n seem_v to_o mention_v they_o with_o intimation_n of_o excellency_n neither_o will_v i_o maintain_v against_o all_o comer_n that_o a_o man_n may_v be_v a_o better_a orator_n than_o a_o angel_n but_o i_o know_v the_o lord_n be_v and_o he_o have_v put_v his_o word_n into_o the_o mouth_n of_o man_n he_o that_o make_v the_o heart_n and_o try_v the_o reins_n he_o know_v how_o to_o frame_v word_n that_o will_v affect_v the_o heart_n and_o so_o they_o do_v insinuate_v themselves_o into_o the_o dark_a corner_n of_o it_o with_o wondrous_a power_n and_o efficacy_n and_o this_o i_o know_v and_o dare_v avouch_v that_o the_o high_a mystery_n in_o the_o divine_a rhetoric_n be_v to_o feel_v what_o a_o man_n speak_v and_o then_o speak_v what_o a_o man_n feel_v 〈◊〉_d *_o praxiteles_n exquisite_o draw_v love_v take_v the_o pattern_n from_o that_o passion_n which_o he_o feel_v in_o

in_o which_o they_o meet_v and_o though_o there_o be_v more_o subtle_a bond_n of_o faith_n and_o god_n spirit_n whereby_o we_o be_v immediate_o unite_v to_o christ_n and_o make_v member_n of_o his_o
