Q. What have you learned more particularly touching God's Government in respect of Angels?
A. Touching God's Government in respect of Angels, I have learned a few things that are more easy and needful to be known: as this in the ⟨p. 57⟩general, that part of those Spirits, called Angels, having sinned, God spared them not, but cast them down to Hell, and delivered them into Chains of Darkness, to be reserved unto Judgment; but that part of those Spirits abode in the Truth, and are now called the Holy Angels, and the like; when the name of Devils, and the like, is given to those that sinned. 2 Pet. 2.4. Jude v. 6. Joh. 8.44. Deut. 32.17. 1 Cor. 10.20. Mat. 25.31.
