Collected by Andrew Willet Bachelor of Diuinity.

Augustine sayth, Quid inter se distent quatuor illa vocabula, throni, dominatio∣nes, principatus, potestates, dicant qui possunt, si tamen possunt probare quod dicunt, ego me ista ignorare confiteor.

August. Enchiridion. cap. 58. With Augustine therefore we confesse, that as it appeareth by these seuerall names, there are distinct orders of Angels: so how many there be, and how they are distinguished, the scripture hath not reuealed vnto vs: and it were curiositie for vs to enquire: We shall then know, when we shall be like vnto the Angels.
