1First we are taught who it is, whose Image is to us ex•• bited: Not the Son of man him self in his own substaun•• but like the Son of man. The Son of man after the phr• of the Gospel, is called Christ him self very God and m• Here he showed not him self to be seen of John in his ou• substance, but in the form of an Angel, that represent• Christ: Which thing is oftener then once found in th• book. We shall therefore refer all these things unto Chris• not to the Angel, which is the minister of Christ in th• mystery. And we shall see Christ in his own substaun•• what time our base body shall flit from hence, and being raised from the dead shall be glorified. In the mean ty• the soul from the death of the body till it rise again, sh• clearly have the fruition of the sight of Christ: Wherein, […] I said before shall be the chief joy and felicity. We sh• now therefore see Christ as it were in a glass, and so muc• as shall suffice us. The Lord open to us the eyes of o•• mind.
1First we are taught who it is, whose Image is to vs ex•• bited: Not the sonne of man him selfe in his own substaun•• but lyke the sonne of man. The sonne of man after the phr• of the Gospell, is called Christ hym selfe very God and m• Here he shewed not hym selfe to be sene of Iohn in his ou• substaunce, but in the fourme of an Aungell, that represent Christ: Whiche thyng is oftener then once founde in th boke. We shal therfore referre all these thinges vnto Chris not to the Aungell, whiche is the minister of Christ in th mistery. And we shall see Christ in his owne substaun what tyme our base body shall flitte from hence, and bey reysed from the dead shall be glorified. In the meane ty the soull from the death of the body tyll it ryse agayne, sh clearely haue the fruition of the sight of Christ: Wherein, I sayd before shall be the chief ioye and felicitie. We sh nowe therfore see Christ as it were in a glasse, and so muc as shall suffice vs. The Lorde open to vs the eyes of o mynde.
