¶Of the thirde Hierarchie. Cap. 15.
THe thirde Hierarchie is called Ephi∣onia, and contayneth thrée lower or∣ders, that is to suppose, Uertues, Arch∣angelles, and Angells. And thereto ac∣cording the lower Hierarchie is described in this manner. The lower Hierarchie, is a godly principle of nature, méeting with the lawes of kinde, and shewing secrets as he maye take discréete of na∣ture, méeting with the lawes of kinde. This pertayneth to Uertues: for they haue might to do myracles, and to heale sorrowe and sicknesses aboue Natures skill. Shewing mysteries: this belon∣geth to Archangells and to Angels, by a maruelous discréete passe, from the one to the other: this is referred to the diffe∣rence of Archangells and Angells. For the greater, as Archangels reueale grea∣ter mysteries, and the lesse, as Angelles, shewe the lesse screcies.
For by Archangells were shewed, the greater secrets vnto Prophets, us this:* 1.1Ecce virgo concipiet, &c. Behold a vir∣gin shall beare a sonne, and thou shalt call his name Emanuel. And by Angels is shewed the besse,* 1.2 as this: Episcopa∣tum e••••s accipiat, &c. His habitation bee voyde, and no man bee dwellyng therein, and his Bishop right let ano∣ther take. And this was sayde of Iudas the traitour that hung himself:* 1.3 and Ma∣thias was chosen Apostle in his stéede. Ephionia is sayd of Ephi, that is, vnder, and Phanos, that is, shewing. For the lykenesse of God is shewed in a lower manner in orders of this Hierarchie, then in other orders of the higher Hie∣rarchie.
