and this title declareth vnto vs, that wée should bée altogether separated from God, without he receiued vs, by the meanes of his onely sonne.
Moreover, hereon we have also wherefore to glory, when God alloweth us for his children, and giveth us leave to claim him with open mouth as our father, to come freely unto him, and in him to have our refuge Let us hereupon gather by the way, that God hath so appointed his Gospel to be preached by the mouth of men, as yet notwithstanding the Angels have gone before them and lead them the way. True it is, that at this day the Church must be taught by the mean of mortal creatures ⟨p. 18⟩But how ever it is, this is no strange thing that we bring, but do only recite the preaching of the Angels of heaven: and that of no small number neither, but of an infinite multitude, and of an huge army.
