But for the matter: Are apparitions from heaven so ordinary in the popish Church? how then came it to pass, that the greatest and holiest men in the old Testament, were so amazed at the very apparition but of an Angel: as we may see in the whole course of the Story? Some ran away, and hid themselves: some covered their faces, some fell flat on the ground: and the Prophets here cried out; Woe is me, I am undone: my eyes have seen the King and Lord of Hosts. But in the Church of Rome, ⟨p. 113⟩look the stories, that Saint or Monk is no body that hath not had some apparition: either of the Virgin Mary, or some of the Apostles, or an Angel, or Christ Jesus appearing and talking with them: and yet alas, Peter, lames, 1and John, those three great pillars, they were as good as beside themselves at the appearing of a little part of the glory of Christ in his transfiguration.
