§. 88. Of the Prudence of Angels.
A Second property, of Angels is Prudence; This is usually joined with knowledge; For knowledge works Prudence, and Prudence directeth knowledge. An Apostle therefore thus coupleth them together, Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge? Jam. 3. 13. Wisdom presupposeth knowledge, yea, also it findeth out knowledge of witty inventions, Prov. 8. 12. It maketh men find out more and more knowledge; and that of more then ordinary and vulgar things; In regard of that excellent wisdom which Angels have, Tyre which was counted very wise,1 is styled a Cherub, that is an Angel, Ezek. 28. 3, 4, 16, 17. The ancient Grecians styled2 all sorts of Angels * [Greek or Hebrew], by reason of their wit and wisdom.
