V. The holy Angells are not excluded from the bodie of the church.
Neither from this body of Christ, which is the holy church, do we exclude the Angels: both because the Apostle speaking plainly of the church, comprehendeth the Angels therein: and also because they with us are likewise ⟨p. 177⟩gathered into our body, 1under one and the same head Christ, and Christ is expressly called of the Apostle the head of the Angels: yea and also because they call themselves our fellow servants: and have the same father with us, and serve the same God, and we all of us shall be for ever together in the same city the heavenly Jerusalem: lastly, they are also Saints; and the church is the communion of all Saints.
