2 Angels bear witness against sin; 2both good Angels, and bad Angels.
- 2Angels witness against sin. 1 The good.
1 Good Angels; the Angels of God and heaven, as they are often called, do bear witness against sin, as an exceeding sinful thing. 1 Their very title (which contains their nature and employment too) being holy Angels, showeth, that they have an antipathy against, and are at enmity with sin; that which is meat and drink to wicked men, to do the will of the devil, 'tis poison to holy angels, whose meat and drink it is to ⟨p. 120⟩do the will of God; they are all holiness to the Lord, and cannot endure iniquity; they often contend and fight with evil Angels, and so witness against sin, Jude 9. Their being holy, loving holiness and contention against the Devil, are their witnessings.
