FVLK. 18. It is not safe, to translate alwayes the messenger of God, by the name of an Angell, which is commonly taken to signifie a spirite, not a bodily crea∣ture: therefore our translators thought good to expresse the signification of the Hebrew, and Greeke worde in English, and to vse the terme of Messenger, as the worde doth signifie: nothing derogating from the dignitie of the persons, or office of them, of whome it is vttered, which consisteth in the addition following of God, of the Lorde, of the Church. For the name of Angell, of it selfe, is no name of dignitie, seeing there be Angells of the deuill, and of darkenes, as well as of God, & of light. And Isidorus Clarius interpreteth the word in this place of Malachie, Legatus, the Ambassador, or Messenger. It is not therefore of any profane minde, that for Angell, we say Messenger. Your owne vulgar Interpretor, Agg. 1. v. 13. translateth Maleach Iehouah, nuncius domini, the Lords Messenger, and so diuerse times where mention is made* 1.1 of Gods Messengers. This is therefore a vayne con∣tention about termes, when the matter is not in questi∣on. That the name of Angels soundeth more hono∣rably as Hierom and other thinke, it is no rule to binde translators, but expounders may as occasion is offered obserue it.
