1The angelical Hymn is now annexed, which accordeth in all things with the Hymns of the Beasts and Elders. For they celebrate the lamb, that is to say the son, which as he is the saviour alone, so hath he deserved to receive all power and glory, & to govern all things: as is said before.

- 1The Hymn of the Angels, said in the praise of Christ.The Himne of the Angels, sayde in ye prayse of Christ.
And seven things do the Angels attribute to the lamb, that is to Jesus Christ our Lord, on the right hand of the father. First [Greek or Hebrew], power to wit godly, almighty, vivificative, and conservative. Of this I spake also before. Secondly [Greek or Hebrew] richesse. For he is rich, as the Apostle sayeth, for all that call upon him. Rom. 10. And Primasius: Christ him self, sayeth he, is the treasure of all good things, &c. For schaddais, the sufficiency of all goods of the mind and body: And if it ⟨p. 177⟩be lawful to attribute a profane word unto God, he is very Saturn, fulfilling all creatures. And sins the Angels do so commend Christ, who would think, that men should so scrape to themselves, as though they themselves could fill their own desires? Than they attribute to Christ wisdom, to wit godly and great. For the son is the wisdom of the father. Whereof treateth Solomon much. By this wisdom can he rule all things by most agreeable and best government. Who shall say? Thus it should have ben done. The wisdom of God hath most goodlily & well made all things from the beginning, so that our reason can justly blame nothing: what thing shall we blame than now in the universal government of Christ? They ascribe unto Christ also strength to execute verily such things as he hath most wisely ordained, finally strength to defend his, and to subdue the adversaries. For he is almighty. Such things as follow, honour, glory, and thanks giving, are declared before, what they be, and of what force: saving that the thing he called first [Greek or Hebrew] he calleth now [Greek or Hebrew], blessing, praise, and giving of thanks.
