I have spoken unto the Prophets, and I have multiplied visions, and used similitudes by the hand of the Prophets, &c. Hereby we understand, that similitudes were not given unto the Prophets from the beginning, but god himself spake unto them.

Hereby is gathered, unless we will still be blind, that angels showed themselves in one kind of images and god himself appeared §2in an other form. This self same thing may we see in Isaiah, when he saw the Lord sitting in his throne, and with him two Seraphims, which cried mutually the one to the other, Holy, holy, holy. And with so great reverence they ⟨p. 119⟩worshipped God which was in the middest, that with their two upper wings, they covered their face, and with the two neither wings their feet. Who seeth, not here a great difference between god and the angels which appeared?
