Men of God; So was the Angel that appeared to Manoah styled, Judg. 13. 6. 9. He is called a man, because he appeared in the shape of a man; and a man of God, ⟨p. 60⟩because he came from God, and was sent by God. Though this Angel were the Son of God, yet the Title is given unto him, as he appeared like an Angel, and may be well reckoned among the Titles given to Angels. 4. Sons of God, Job 1. 6. Thus they are called, not only because they received their being from God, and are sustained by him, but also being once made after the image of God, they still retain that image. 5. aGods; So doth that word signify which we translate Angels, Psal. 8. 5.

Cherubim,
