§. 91. Of the Power of Angels.

A Fifth property of Angels is Power; They are mighty in Power; Hereupon there are attributed to them these and such like Titles; Mighty, 2 Thes. 1. 7. Strong, Rev. 5. 2. And they are said to excell in strength, Psa. 103. 20. They are re∣sembled to Horses and Charets of fire, 2 King. 6. 17. Horses and charets are power∣full; Horses and charets of fire are invincible.

Angels protected Elisha against an Army of enemies; yea, one Angel destroy∣ed in one night 185000 Souldiers in their one Camp, 2 King. 17. 35. Do not these evidences demonstrate that Angels are mighty in power, and that both to offend* 1.1 and defend?

It is necessary that they should be so, because the Church and Children of God (over whom the Angels have a charge) have in this world against them, not only mighty, malicious, fierce, cruell children of men; but Principalities, Powers, Rulers of the darknesse of this world, spiritual wickedness in high places, Eph. 6. 12.

Notes

* 1.1

Of the Power of the devil, See the Whole Armour of God, on Eph. 6. 12. §. 12, 14, 20.
