I answer, Affirmatively, The Angels may be called the Sons of God in a sixfold sense.
First, As Adam is called the Son of God (Luke 3.38.) in his primary Constitution or by Creation; so Angels are the Sons of God, as they are his Creatures.
Secondly, Angels are called the Sons of God, because of Gods great affection to them, as well as his creation of them. Such as we much affect and love intrinsically, we are ready to call our Children, Sons or Daughters: The Lord bears abundance of love to the Angels, therefore he calls them his Sons.
Thirdly, If we consider their place or station: The Angels wait upon God, they are near to him, they stand about his Throne as Sons, to receive his Blessing and Commands.
