This Hymn said in the praise of Christ,1 teacheth that Christ is very God, of the same substance and coequal with the father, greater than Angels, yea the lord of Angels, whom the angels themselves also worship, as S. Paul in the 1. to the Hebr. hath declared. Here than are confuted who so ever prefer Angels to Christ. The heretics are confuted that are called Angelical, to wit worshippers of Angels. The angels themselves do here reprove their error: that not without cause they are accounted of S. Austen amongst heretics. If richesse, glory and honour be dew to Christ alone, and that he excelleth them, wherefore are the same communicated to creatures? Otherwise we admonish all godly, that they think highly of Angels, and acknowledge and marvel at the benefits of God in them: and that we love the same as brethren, and fellows, and coinheriters of the same salvation: much less contemn or blame them, Whereof I will speak more at an other time.

Paul in the 1. to the Hebr. hath declared. Here than are confuted who so euer preferre Aungels to Christ. The heretikes are confuted that are called Aungelical, to witte worshippers of Aungels. The aungels themselues do here reproue their errour: that not without cause they are accompted of S. Austen emongs heretikes. Yf richesse, glory and honour be dewe to Christ alone, and that he excelleth them, wherfore are the same cō municated to creatures? Otherwise we admonish all godly, that they thinke highlye of Aungels, and acknowledge and maruel at the benefites of God in them: and that we loue the same as bretherne, and felowes, and coinheriters of the same saluation: much lesse contemne or blame them, Whereof I wil speake more at an other time.
