And in the first chapter to the Colossians; 1It hath well pleased the father, that in him should dwell all fullness, and by him to reconcile all things to himself: and to set at peace, through the blood of his cross, both the things in heaven, and the things in earth.

- 1verse. 20.
This Chrysostom interpreting, saith; that Without Christ the angels had been offended with us: so that these two natures, namely, of angels, and of men, were severed and alienated the one from the other. For the celestial spirits could not otherwise do, but hate the enemies of their God; but when Christ was become the mediator, men were now gathered together again, so that they have one and the self-same head with the angels, and are become members of the same body with them: 1wherefore Christ is rightly said to be he, by whom is made our gathering together. Also it may be, that other commodities have likewise redounded to the angels, through the death of Christ; which notwithstanding we do not easily perceive by the scriptures: neither doth the search of the same belong to that which we have in hand. We say therefore that Paul with great weight, 2and vehemency of speech, applieth sense unto all creatures; as if so be they felt grief and sorrow, because they are made so common to the abuses of wicked men. For the confusion of things in this state, is not so obscure; since the godly are in trouble, and are ill entreated every-where: but the ungodly do abound with all prosperity, and all things happen to them as they would have it. In this turmoil of things, the godly ought to be of a valiant courage, and patiently wait for the end of these matters. The Epures and Atheists,
