Object. But some object that Passage of the Apostle, To which of the Angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son.
Answ. 1. Angels are not the Sons of God, as the Apostle there expresseth, i. e. as Christ is the Son of God, viz. by eternal Generation. For so, To which of the Angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? Jesus Christ is the Son of God from Eternity.
2. Angels are not the Sons of God by Regeneration, nor by Adoption, as Believers are. The holy Angels need not Regeneration, they never fell from their first Estate. Christ is not to them a Redeemer for their Restoration, but only a Head for their Confirmation.
