What is it now that lieth in the way of the wicked, that he cannot come ? It is the angry sword of the angel (or Cherubim) which he will not break ; the fair, glistering, hypocritical, dainty world in his bosom, [malice or wickedness] in flesh and blood pleaseth him too well ; he will not break his mind, which yet he is able to do ; and if he doth break it, then he is drawn of God (by Christ) to the Father, and instantly is chosen to [be] a child of God ; and out of the image of the serpent the...re cometh [to be] the image of an angel. 68. For so long as the image standeth in the anger, it is the image of the serpent ; but if it goeth forth [from the lust of sin, or desire of evil] into the breaking [or destroying thereof], then a heavenly image is figured (by the Treader upon the Serpent), and * the serpent's head is broken ; the * the evil is two kingdoms fight [or wrestle] one with another, wlthgood. And that which overcometh, figureth the image. 69. Whereby it is seen, how great the anger was in Adam and Eve, in that the wrathful kingdom sooner overcame than the kingdom of heaven ; and the scorner is sooner generated than the 2 upright.
