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.
