For even as the f•ll of man hath drawn after him the ruin of all other creatures and hath made them subject ⟨image 254⟩unto malediction with him? so every creature sigheth and groaneth with him also, loo•••g for their redemption 1and deliverance, the which is joined together with his. Now if the Angels cannot be perfectly cons• mated in all blessedness without us, which are their companions, how shall our other brethren do which are joined nearer unto us, & which do yet t•••e for the redemption of their bodies, and the consummation of their joy? the which they cannot have without us, and a great deal less then the Angels.

Nowe if the Angells cannot be perfectly cons• mated in all blessednesse without vs, which are their compaignio•s, how shal our other bretheren do which are ioyned néerer vnto vs, & which do yet t•••e for the redemption of their bodyes, and the consummation of their ioy? the which they cannot haue without vs, and a great deale lesse then the Angels.
