And this treatise proceedeth in this order. First is the angel described, after his work or effect is declared. And last is the sealing of the time. Touching the description of the Angel, first in deed he is named an Angel,1 and cometh forth abroad: howbeit the whole state Apostolical is hereby understand, in the which shineth exceedingly S. Paul the doctor of gentiles neither is it marvel, that the order of Apostles is signified by an Angel. For an Angel signifieth a messenger, ambassador, or an Apostle. And therefore the prophet Malachi called John Baptist the vauntcurrour of our lord, an Angel: behold I send my Angel before thee, &c. And ministers of the church are oftener than ones in this book called ⟨p. 590⟩Angels. But in case the worthiness & nobility of the name please the ministers, let the Angelical purity, and excellent faith please them also. An ambassador doeth and sayeth nothing, save that which he hath received in commission, of him that sent him: so also let the ministers set forth nothing, save that which he hath received of the Lord, in the Scriptures.

Paule the doctour of gentiles nother is it maruaile, that the order of Apostles is signified by an Angell. For an Angel signifieth a messager, ambassadour, or an Apostle. And therefore the prophet Malachie called Iohn Baptist the vauntcurrour of our lord, an Angel: beholde I sende my Angel before thee, &c. And ministers of the church are oftener thā ones in this boke called ⟨p. 590⟩Angelles. But in case the worthines & nobilitie of the name please the ministers, let the Angelicall puretie, and excellent faith please them also. An ambassadour doeth and sayeth nothing, saue that which he hath receyued in cōmission, of him that sent him: so also let the ministers set forth nothing, saue that which he hath receyued of the Lord, in the Scriptures.
