116 But in marking thou shalt always perceive, that the fathers of old time, after they had once seen God, or any angels, were in exceeding great fear; and were so astonied, as they looked but for present death. And no marvel: for it was not unknown to them, what answer GOD made unto Moses, when he desired to see his face; Man shall not see me & live. And John the Baptist, as we read in the first of John, said; No man hath seen God at any time. And Paul unto Timothy hath confirmed the same, saying; No man hath seen God, nor yet may see; for he is invisible, because he dwelleth in the light that cannot be come unto. Which thing also both Gideon and Manoa the father of Samson, 2do testify. Jacob likewise after his nights wrestling, (wherein he thought he had contended with a man) when he perceived it was an angel, marvelled how he had escaped safe and alive. I saw the Lord (saith he) face to face, and yet my life is safe: as though he could scarcely believe it might be.
