Q. Are not some others, even in a good sense, called Gods in the Holy Scriptures?
A. Yes; both Angels and Men. And indeed some of both may not only be called Gods, but also may in a good sense be Gods, but not in that sense as the Lord our God is.
[1 Cor. 8.4, 5, 6. We know that an Idol is nothing in the World, and that there is none other God but one. For though there be that are called Gods, whether in Heaven or in Earth, (as there be Gods many, and Lords many) but to us there is but [one God] the Father, of whom are all things, and we in [for] him, and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.]
