Objection. Object. Whereas we see oft-times of Angels, that appeared, as in the book of the Judges, the Angel, that appeared to Samsons mother and Father, when1 they willed him to stay that they might worship him, he bid them, and so in other places, therefore it may seem Angels are to be worshipped.
Obiection. Obiect. Whereas wee see oft-times of Angels, that appeared, as in the booke of the Iudges, the Angell, that appeared to Sampsons mother and Father, when1 they willed him to stay that they might worship him, hee bid them, and so in other places, therefore it may seeme Angels are to be worshipped.
Answer, But that doth no• follow: For we are1 to consider that where any Angel was to be worshipped, it was the Angel of the Covenant, the2 Son of God: who though he took upon him a body to execute the function, he was sent to do by his Father, which body he presently left off: yet he appeared to the end that he might signify, that he was afterward indeed to come, to take our nature, and to unite it unto him: And he was to be worshipped, being not a created Angel. But for the other Angels, they are not to be prayed unto. Contrary to the Papists, who wretchedly abuse these places of Scripture.
