1. Arch-Angels, Jude v. 9. By this Title the Prince and head of Angels which is Christ Jesus is set out; For he is there called Michael, which name is given to Christ, Dan. 10. 13. 21. & 12. 1. Rev. 12. 7. The notation of the name Michael, who 1as God, importeth as much. He is also called Jehovah, Zech. 3. 2. It is said, that Jehovah 2buried Moses Deut. 34. 5, 6. And surely the same Jehovah, this Michael, suffered not Satan to discover the place where Moses was buried; We read but of one Arch-Angel in sacred Scripture.
2. Head of Principalities and Powers, Col. 2. 10. This the Apostle speaketh of Christ.
3. Angel of the Covenant, Mal. 3. 1. That Angel in whom Gods Covenant with man is made and confirmed.
4. Angel of Gods presence, Isa. 63. 9. Or, word for word, Angel of his face, that is, ⟨p. 59⟩the express image of his Person, who is ever before Gods face to make intercession for us.
5. Gods proper Title which is Jehovah: wheresoever he that appeared as an Angel, and is styled an Angel, hath this Title Jehovah attributed to him, there Christ Jesus is meant: On this ground it is evident that the Angel which appeared to Moses in the burning bush was Christ, because he is called Jehovah, Exod. 3. 3, 4. By a like evidence it is manifest that the Angel which spake to Jacob in a Dream, was Christ, because he said of himself, I am the God of Bethel, &c. Gen. 31. 11. 19.
6. When the Name is declared to be secret or wonderful, as Judg. 13. 8. Wonderful, is one of the Titles whereby the Son of God, true Jehovah, is set out: Isa. 9. 6.
7. When divine effects are wrought by him that is styled Angel, as, to deliver from all evil (Gen. 48. 16.) to put fear and terror into the heart of stout enemies, (Exo. 14, 19, 24, 25.) And to bring Israel out of Egypt, after such a manner as they were brought out, Numb. 20. 16.
8. When divine worship is rightly given to him that is called Angel, I say rightly, because divine worship may and hath been given to created Angels, Col. 2. 18. Rev. 19. 10. & 22. 8, 9. But by divine worship rightly and duly given, one of the Angels that appeared to Abraham is manifested to be Jehovah, Gen. 18. 2. And the Angel with whom Jacob wrestled, Gen. 32. 26. for Jacob made supplication unto him, Hos. 12. 4.
1. Arch-Angels, Iude v. 9. By this Title the Prince and head of Angels which is Christ Jesus is set out; For he is there called Michael, which name is given to Christ, Dan. 10. 13. 21. & 12. 1. Rev. 12. 7. The notation of the name Michael, who 1as God, importeth as much. He is also called Iehovah, Zech. 3. 2. It is said, that Iehovah 2buried Moses Deut. 34. 5, 6. And surely the same Iehovah, this Michael, suffered not Satan to discover the place where Moses was buried; We reade but of one Arch-Angel in sacred Scripture.
2. Head of Principalities and Powers, Col. 2. 10. This the Apostle speaketh of Christ.
3. Angel of the Covenant, Mal. 3. 1. That Angel in whom Gods Covenant with man is made and confirmed.
4. Angel of Gods presence, Isa. 63. 9. Or, word for word, Angel of his face, that is, ⟨p. 59⟩the express image of his Person, who is ever before Gods face to make intercession for us.
5. Gods proper Title which is Iehovah: wheresoever he that appeared as an Angel, and is stiled an Angel, hath this Title Iehovah attributed to him, there Christ Jesus is meant: On this ground it is evident that the Angell which appeared to Moses in the burning bush was Christ, because he is called Iehovah, Exod. 3. 3, 4. By a like evidence it is manifest that the Angell which spake to Iacob in a Dream, was Christ, because he said of himself, I am the God of Bethel, &c. Gen. 31. 11. 19.
6. When the Name is declared to be secret or wonderfull, as
