of_o they_o above_o other_o man_n because_o they_o work_v his_o work_n above_o all_o other_o calling_n for_o their_o labour_n immediate_o concern_v the_o good_a of_o man_n soul_n whereas_o other_o

common_a one_o to_o the_o other_o angel_n be_v call_v minister_n and_o minister_n angel_n as_o though_o they_o be_v almost_o all_o one_o second_o because_o the_o minister_n duty_n be_v to_o convert_v &_o save_v soul_n be_v a_o 10._o work_n which_o next_o to_o the_o glorify_v of_o god_n and_o do_n his_o will_n the_o angel_n do_v take_v most_o delight_n in_o above_o any_o other_o for_o if_o they_o
