1They were created by God of nothing in the very beginning of the world. Praise ye him, all ye his Angels, praise him all his army. For he commanded, and they were created. By him were all things created which are in heaven, and which are in earth, things visible and invisible; whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers, &c. 2Wherefore, albeit by Moses there is no mention made, in the story of the creation, severally of Angels, as who, applying himself to the common capacity of men, especially recounteth the visible works of God: yet, when as he saith that heaven, earth, and all the host of them was created, he implieth also Angels, which both are these very heavenly hosts and ministers of God, and are often mentioned among them ⟨p. 190⟩by Moses himself.3 And whereas they are called The children of God, it is not to be understood of any co-eternity and propagation of their substance out of God, but of their creation and conformity with God: and of the mutual love between God and them; as in like sort also may be said of men.
