A42901	Godden, Thomas, 1624-1688.	A sermon of the nativity of our Lord preached before the Queen Dowager in her chappel at Somerset-house on Christmas Day, 1686 / by Thomas Godden.	1686.0		.xml	application/xml	8452	283	68	Four thousand years had this error over-spread the World , excepting only the little corner of Judea , when God commiserating the sad condition of man , and knowing , as St. Peter Chrysologus says , visendi se desiderio cruciari , lassarique mortales , with what anxiety men desired to see him , and that nothing could content them , but a visible deity , unde se visibilem faceret , hoc elegit ; out of his Infinite Goodness was pleased to take upon him the nature of Man , that he might be seen by them . Surely the Shepherds , who were terrified with the Light , must have been much more surprized with the seeming disproportion of the Sign , had not a multitude of the Heavenly Host presently joyned themselves with the Angel , praising God , and saying , Gloria in altissimis Deo , Glory be to God in the highest , and on earth peace to men of good will.	cache/A42901.xml	txt/A42901.txt
