Stars be called Angels. Angels be Gods Messengers, pastors of churches, so called in the ii. & iii. chapter of Malachi. For God sendeth preachers as Ambassadors to the people, and willeth them to be heard in like case as himself. Luke .x. John .xiii. Let no man therefore tarry till the Lord him self come down from heaven again, and preach •nto us. Even now he preacheth to us by his Messengers, which preach his, that is to say the word of Christ, if •ou contemn them, you contemn Christ. Preachers be •alled stars, by reason of their bright and Heavenly doctrine, and for their pureness of life.1 Beware therefore you Preachers, that you be not wandering Planets, leest ye •ave no light at all, neither in doctrine, nor conversation of ••fe. For than ye shall be likened to stars that fall down •ut of Heaven, as shall happen here after in this book to the false teachers.
