N•• the Sun, and Stars are not so excellent, for they want sense, and man hath […] son: not one of them was formed after the Image of God, there are no spark• Divinity in them. But if we look up to the Angels, there is a large and ample •• ference: we have bodies, and they are full of gross corruptions; so many […] that who is Physician good enough to number them, I say not, to cure them? T••• is in the soul uncleanness, in the understanding blindness, in the will perverse••• in the affections wantonness, in the whole man sinfulness. The Angelical […] is subject to none of these infirmities. If thou wert a sinful angel, thou shou•• be punished; therefore if a sinful man, what hope to be spared? It was the […] note to King Philip of Macedon every morning; Remember thou art a man: for •• membring this, we remember all unworthiness.
