Christ is head of all principality and power, Col. 2.10. That is, he is an head of eminency and power over the Holy Angels; he is made so much better than the ⟨p. 83⟩Angels, as he hath by inheritance a more excellent name than they, Heb. 1.4. Unto which of the Angels said God the Father at any time, Thou art my Son, or sit thou at my right hand, vers. 5. and 13? Angels are Sons by creation, but Christ is [Greek or Hebrew], the proper Son of the Father; not as creatures, made out of nullity, but a proper Son begotten out of his substance. Angels, as Courtiers of Heaven stand in the presence of God, but he sits at his right hand in state and majesty; Angels and Authorities and Powers being made subject unto him: But to Believers he is an head of union and influence; the Church made up of them is his body, homogeneal and of one nature with him, joined to him by the bands of Faith and a regenerating Spirit, and supplied from him with spiritual life and motion; thus it is not with Angels.
