DOCT. V. That the good Angels were by the grace of God preserved in goodness, that so they might become God's ministring Spirits for our good.
AGain, we believe, Thatg 1.1 innu∣merable of the celestiall spirits were by the grace of God in Christ preserved that they might not sin with the rest, but persist in truth and obedience: and that so they became Gods messengers andh 1.2 ministring spi∣rits, for the good of his elect, to de∣fend and protect them against the de∣vils, and to promote the Kingdome of Christ. And they do so love us and wait upon us, that they do ex∣ceedinglyi 1.3 rejoyce for our salvation: But they willk 1.4 not be worshipped of us by any means, but put us in minde, that God onely is to be wor∣shipped,
