1They were created all good and holy; that is, in their creation they were enriched with strength, wisdom, liberty of will, holiness and righteousness, whereby they might be conformed and like to God: as it is said, He saw all that he had made, and lo, it was very good. 2And of the good Angels it is said, Ye his Angels that excel in strength, and do his commandments, in obeying the voice of his word. Their Angels always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven. 3The elect shall be in the resurrection as the Angels of God in heaven. They are called holy: Likewise, Seraphin, that is, flaming or shining, namely with purity and divine wisdom, and with the love of God. But of the bad Angels it is said, He abode not in the truth. The Angels which kept not their first estate, 4but left their own habitation, &c.
