Institutions of Christian religion framed out of Gods word, and the writings of the best diuines, methodically handled by questions and answers, fit for all such as desire to know, or practise the will of God. Written in Latin by William Bucanus Professor of Diuinitie in the Vniuersitie of Lausanna. And published in English by Robert Hill, Bachelor in Diuinitie, and Fellow of Saint Iohns Colledge in Cambridge, for the benefit of our English nation, to which is added in the end the practise of papists against Protestant princes.

Whether can there arise dissentiōs and discords by our meanes amongst the good Angels, as Dan. 10.13. it is sayd that the Prince of the Persians fought against the Prince of the Grecians?

A learned interpreter answereth, that by the names of Princes are not signified the Angels which had the defence of the king∣domes of the Persians and the Grecians: but those men which at that time were Princes of Persia and Greece. That this should be the meaning of the words, that the Angell fought against Cambyses at that time king of the Persians, for the space of one & thirtie daies, that is to say, that he did hinder his cruell Edicts and plots made to keepe the people of God still in captiuitie, and more grieuously to oppresse them, least they should be put in execution, but that there should come after him the Prince of the Grecians, to wit, Alexan∣der the great, who should asswage the furie of the kings of Persis that was kindled against the people of God, which also came to passe, as histories do testifie.

But the Schoolemen answer, that there is the greatest consent a∣mongst the Angels, in regard of will, because they are blessed; and amongst those which be blessed, there is the greatest peace: but yet there may be amongst them some diuersitie of iudgement, to wit,

being ignorant of the decree of God, which is not alwayes made manifest to the Angels, some thinke they should do thus, and some thinke they should do otherwise. But it is not the diuersitie of opi∣nions, but the contrarietie of wils that ouerturneth friendship.
