1What time he had fully seen this divine and heavenly sight of Christ our Lord, sitting on the right hand of God i• glory, his strength failing him, he falleth down on the earth: and lying at the feet of the Lord, is like a dead body. W• read that the same chanced to Daniel in the .x. Chapt. And other men of God also have been feared with the visions o• Angels. The women also in the new Testament tremble• at the sepulchre, seeing Angels. Peter was amazed at th• greatness of the miracle. Luke .v. And falling at the knees […] the Lord, crieth out, go from me, Lord, for I am a sinful m•• For Godly visions bewray our infirmity:2 Neither be • apt or sufficiently purged, to behold those supercelest• things with eyes and minds sick and not yet well pu•• fied. Therefore must the elect be glorified in an other life, th• they may be made partakers of the glory celestial. In th• mean season here all godly are humbled and abased by high visions and revelations.3 For they advance not them selves proudly through the glory of revelation: But perceiving th• natural corruption, they crave pardon, and the augmentation of the supercelestial grace and light. For unless we b• illumined with the spirit of God, we shall lye like dead folk• how so ever we receive with our corporal senses the vision celestial.
