2. When the Lord descended upon Mount Sinai to give the Law, some place the specification of God's presence in the Angels, to which purpose are alleged these Texts; Who have received the Law by the disposition of Angels, 1and have not kept it: and again, The Law was ordained by Angels in the Hand of a Mediator. Again, the Apostle calls the Law the Word spoken by Angels. I have already delivered my thoughts concerning these Angels; but some (I say) conclude from hence, that the special presence of the Divine Majesty consists in the encamping of his sacred Retinue, the blessed Angels; for that the Lord of himself, who filleth Heaven and Earth, could not descend, or be in one place more than another: There's yet another Text very pertinent to this.
