mercy_n and_o 6._o truth_n as_o zoreb_n prove_v be_v so_o great_a that_o it_o will_v prevail_v against_o all_o oppesition_n for_o though_o that_o by_o the_o trick_n and_o delay_n of_o sutle_a head_n it_o may_v be_v cloud_v for_o a_o time_n yet_o at_o last_o it_o will_v bud_v forth_o and_o appear_v but_o i_o fear_v the_o lord_n have_v a_o controversy_n with_o the_o inhabitant_n of_o this_o land_n because_o as_o the_o prophet_n say_v there_o be_v no_o truth_n nor_o mercy_n i_o may_v add_v nor_o justice_n nor_o knowledge_n of_o god_n in_o the_o land_n or_o if_o these_o be_v than_o i_o be_o sure_a you_o will_v not_o build_v up_o zion_n with_o blood_n and_o jerusalem_n with_o iniquity_n because_o the_o lord_n love_v neither_o house_n nor_o land_n that_o be_v unjust_o obtain_v i_o can_v stand_v to_o examine_v it_o or_o to_o handle_v the_o particular_n that_o may_v be_v say_v concern_v these_o six_o point_n for_o that_o may_v require_v six_o hour_n to_o do_v it_o at_o least_o but_o i_o will_v proceed_v and_o say_v 2._o wing_n 2._o 2._o what_o use_v they_o make_v of_o their_o wing_n if_o you_o will_v know_v to_o what_o end_n they_o have_v these_o wing_n or_o what_o use_n they_o make_v of_o they_o the_o prophet_n esay_n tell_v you_o in_o the_o practice_n of_o the_o seraphim_n that_o it_o be_v for_o these_o three_o special_a end_n that_o be_v 1._o to_o cover_v their_o face_n 2._o to_o cover_v their_o foot_n 3._o to_o fly_v about_o for_o he_o say_v that_o with_o two_o of_o their_o wing_n they_o cover_v their_o face_n 6.2_o esay_n 6.2_o and_o with_o two_o they_o cover_v their_o foot_n and_o with_o two_o they_o do_v fly_v and_o this_o they_o do_v for_o these_o three_o end_n that_o be_v 1._o to_o check_v our_o curiosity_n 2._o to_o show_v our_o misery_n 3._o to_o teach_v we_o industry_n 1._o it_o be_v the_o nature_n and_o the_o foolish_a disposition_n of_o man_n to_o be_v always_o pry_v and_o search_v into_o every_o thing_n the_o screts_n of_o god_n the_o mystery_n of_o state_n and_o the_o obscurity_n of_o nature_n and_o yet_o the_o seraphim_n that_o stand_v in_o the_o presence_n of_o god_n be_v fain_o to_o cover_v their_o face_n not_o to_o hide_v their_o sin_n which_o they_o have_v not_o but_o because_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o behold_v the_o brightness_n of_o god_n glorious_a majesty_n and_o if_o the_o angel_n hide_v their_o face_n from_o the_o brightness_n of_o god_n glory_n how_o dare_v sinful_a man_n pry_v into_o it_o because_o as_o the_o apostle_n say_v he_o dwell_v in_o the_o light_n that_o no_o man_n can_v attain_v unto_o it_o 34.20_o 1_o tim._n 6.16_o exod._n 34.20_o and_o the_o lord_n say_v himself_o that_o no_o man_n can_v see_v his_o face_n and_o live_v for_o though_o we_o walk_v in_o the_o cheerful_a light_n of_o the_o sun_n yet_o we_o be_v not_o able_a full_o and_o direct_o to_o look_v upon_o the_o sun_n when_o he_o shine_v in_o his_o full_a strength_n and_o brightness_n but_o it_o will_v dazzle_v our_o eye_n and_o make_v they_o to_o see_v a_o thousand_o colour_n and_o as_o a_o pure_a crystal_n glass_n can_v endure_v the_o strong_a work_n of_o the_o fire_n but_o it_o will_v break_v all_o to_o piece_n even_o so_o the_o weakness_n of_o man_n mortal_a nature_n though_o it_o live_v by_o the_o enjoy_n of_o god_n presence_n yet_o it_o can_v bear_v nor_o comprehend_v the_o glory_n and_o brightness_n of_o god_n majesty_n but_o that_o in_o look_v upon_o so_o clear_a a_o object_n the_o eye_n of_o his_o understanding_n shall_v be_v dazzle_v and_o he_o shall_v fall_v and_o be_v swallow_v up_o into_o a_o thousand_o error_n for_o see_v as_o the_o apostle_n speak_v our_o knowledge_n of_o god_n in_o this_o life_n be_v but_o in_o part_n 13.12_o 1_o cor._n 13.12_o like_o the_o behold_n of_o a_o man_n sudden_o pass_v by_o we_o when_o we_o can_v look_v upon_o nothing_o but_o only_a his_o back_n part_n it_o be_v impossible_a for_o any_o man_n in_o this_o mortality_n to_o know_v perfect_o and_o exact_o the_o be_v and_o way_n of_o the_o most_o high_a and_o therefore_o this_o check_v the_o curiosity_n and_o reprove_v the_o boldness_n of_o those_o man_n that_o like_o phacton_n will_v fly_v and_o mount_v up_o too_o high_a to_o search_v into_o the_o heavenly_a mystery_n for_o as_o the_o wise_a man_n say_v 1.2_o ecclus._n 1.2_o who_o can_v number_v the_o sand_n of_o the_o sea_n the_o drop_n of_o rain_n and_o the_o day_n of_o time_n who_o can_v measure_v the_o height_n of_o heaven_n the_o breadth_n of_o the_o earth_n and_o the_o depth_n of_o the_o sea_n who_o can_v find_v out_o the_o wisdom_n of_o god_n which_o have_v be_v before_o all_o thing_n for_o if_o we_o consider_v either_o the_o nature_n and_o essence_n of_o god_n or_o if_o we_o look_v into_o the_o counsel_n and_o work_n of_o god_n isag_n danaeus_n isag_n we_o shall_v easy_o perceive_v that_o they_o be_v all_o incomprehensible_a et_fw-la si_fw-la quid_fw-la facit_fw-la deus_fw-la naturae_fw-la nobis_fw-la assuetae_fw-la repugnans_fw-la nihil_fw-la tamen_fw-la facit_fw-la rationi_fw-la repugnans_fw-la and_o if_o god_n do_v any_o thing_n that_o seem_v repugnant_a to_o our_o accustom_a nature_n yet_o we_o may_v be_v sure_o he_o do_v nothing_o that_o be_v repugnant_a to_o reason_n and_o though_o all_o that_o god_n do_v be_v exceed_v good_a yet_o we_o can_v always_o perceive_v many_o of_o they_o to_o be_v good_a and_o yet_o this_o make_v they_o not_o to_o be_v unjust_a 9_o gregor_n in_o job_n c._n 9_o because_o we_o understand_v they_o not_o to_o be_v just_a for_o as_o st._n gregory_n say_v qui_fw-la in_o factis_fw-la der_fw-mi rationem_fw-la non_fw-la videt_fw-la he_o that_o see_v not_o the_o reason_n of_o god_n do_n let_v he_o consider_v his_o own_o infirmity_n and_o blindness_n &_o

to_o understand_v we_o shall_v understand_v less_o than_o we_o do_v and_o therefore_o solomon_n give_v good_a counsel_n to_o these_o gnostic_n say_v 7.18_o eccles_n 7.18_o be_v not_o thou_o just_a over_o much_o neither_o make_v thyself_o over-wise_a for_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o lord_n command_v adam_n that_o he_o shall_v not_o eat_v of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n be_v very_o great_a because_o the_o knowledge_n that_o he_o shall_v get_v thereby_o will_v not_o only_o cause_v his_o present_a fall_n 7._o that_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v too_o curious_a to_o search_v into_o divine_a mystery_n gen._n 3.5_o v._o 7._o but_o also_o make_v both_o he_o and_o all_o his_o son_n for_o evermore_o to_o fall_v and_o therefore_o the_o subtle_a serpent_n that_o aim_v at_o the_o ready_a way_n to_o destroy_v they_o promise_v unto_o eva_n and_o he_o keep_v his_o promise_n that_o if_o they_o will_v eat_v of_o the_o tree_n of_o knowledge_n their_o eye_n shall_v be_v open_v and_o they_o shall_v be_v as_o god_n know_v good_a and_o evil_n and_o so_o it_o be_v for_o the_o text_n say_v that_o their_o eye_n be_v open_v and_o they_o have_v the_o knowledge_n both_o of_o good_a and_o evil_n the_o good_a that_o they_o have_v lose_v and_o the_o evil_a that_o they_o have_v fall_v into_o for_o they_o know_v that_o they_o be_v naked_a and_o so_o this_o knowledge_n do_v but_o direct_v they_o a_o way_n to_o run_v away_o from_o god_n and_o teach_v they_o the_o art_n to_o sow_v figleaf_n together_o to_o cover_v their_o shame_n and_o to_o hide_v their_o wickedness_n and_o themselves_o from_o the_o sight_n of_o god_n which_o they_o can_v never_o do_v and_o therefore_o happy_a adam_n have_v thou_o be_v if_o thou_o never_o have_v have_v this_o knowledge_n for_o this_o knowledge_n make_v thou_o to_o fall_v and_o so_o the_o prophet_n esay_n say_v of_o babylon_n 47.10_o esay_n 47.10_o thy_o wisdom_n and_o thy_o knowledge_n have_v cause_v thou_o to_o rebel_v or_o to_o turn_v

be_v as_o true_a that_o no_o other_o creature_n go_v so_o far_o from_o reason_n as_o man_n alone_o and_o therefore_o i_o do_v not_o say_v happy_a be_v the_o beast_n that_o want_v reason_n but_o i_o
