That euery iust person, such as Paula was, hath a parti∣cular Angell guardian, is no article of Popish faith, but onely of probable opinion among Papists themselues. Caietan saith, that many Angels attend one iust personb 1.2. And Molina the Iesuite saith; That men are guarded by Gods Angels, is a matter of Faith, but that euerie one hath his peculiar Angell to guard him, is not of saith, but the com∣mon opinion of Saints and Doctorsc 1.3. And some learned Protestants affirme; That euerie elect person hath a speciall Angell to be his keeperd 1.4: and therefore this is no point of difference in our religions. But the Papists teach diuers things about the custodie of good Angels, which our Aduersarie will not easily maintaine out of S. Hie∣rom: To wit, that when a iust person is in Purgatorie, his good Angell repaires thither, and doth visit and comfort him: reporting vnto him the Masses and prayers which are offered for him in the world, and willing him thereupon to rest secure in the hope of his deliuerancee 1.5. And Becanus the Iesuitef 1.6, together with many Schoolemen before himg 1.7 maintaine, that Antichrist shall haue a good Angell to bee his Guardian.
