Worlde, to manifest him, & make him knowne. Then did the eternall Father giue that com∣maundement vnto all, which the Apostle S.
Paule pondereth. Et cum iterum introducit primogenitum in orbem terrarum; dicit, & adorent eum omnes An∣geli eius. And when againe he bringeth in the first begotten into the Worlde, hee sayth: And let all the Angells of God adore him: he saieth all, not excepting any one. And all of them from Heauen adored with high reuerence this Babe, who being on Earthe behelde what they did. The Seraphines inflamed in Loue, beholding him helde themselues as frozen, and with profounde Humillitye acknowledged him for their God. The Cherubins full of knowledge, in presence of this Childe, esteemed themselues as Ignorant, and with greate trembling adored him, and re∣uerenced him as their Lord: And the like did the other Quires of the Angells.
I reioice, o all my Good,
to see thee adored by thy Angells: and it greiueth me greately to see thee so forgotten, and vnknowne among men. I, o Lord, adore thee togither with these blessed Spirits, and doe heartily desire that all men might knowe, and adore thee: and if it lye in my power, to giue them netice heereof, Ecce ego, mitte me: Beholde me here,
send me. For if thou sendest me, I will flye with those wings which thou shalt giue me; and like the Sera∣phines I will crye out thorough the Worlde, saying: Holye, Holye, Holy art thou Lord God of Hostes, the earthe is full of thy glorye, albeit with the smoke of the Humilliation, which thou hast in this poore Stable, it seemeth to be obscured.
