CHAP. 40. Why God chose Men rather than Angels to dispence the Mystery of Reconciliation. The Reasons thereof.
Now it is to be enquired after, First, why God would choose men rather, to be the dispensers of of the great Mystery of Reconciliation then the Angels? God hath not committed unto them this word of Reconciliation (though it is true the Angels they do go about, and they sometimes witness to the Gospel) as you may read afterwards) But they are not chosen by way of office to the Ministry of the Gospel; that is not the office they are appointed to, so as the Ministers of the Gospel are; God hath not chosen Angels in an ordinary way to come and dispense those great and glorious things unto the Children of Men.
