[Such, both Men and Angels, who in some Employment from God, are to others ⟨p. 26⟩instead of God, may be called by the very Name of the most high God. As for instance; in Exod. 7.1. The Lord saith to Moses, See I have made thee a God [Elohim] to Pharaoh; that is, instead of God, as it is expressed in Exod. 4.16. The Angel of the Lord appeared unto Moses in the flame of a Fire out of the midst of a Bush; Exod. 3.2. This Angel is called, in vers. 4. Jehovah, and Elohim; or, as we english it, The Lord and God. Also they who in Government over others are the Sons of the most High, are called Gods. See Psal. 82.1, 6. God standeth in the Congregation of the Mighty: he judgeth among the Gods.—I have said, Ye are Gods; and [even] all of you are Children [Sons] of the most High. John 10.32, &c. Jesus answered them, Many good Works have I showed you from my Father; for which of these Works do ye stone me? The Jews answered him, saying, For a good Work we stone thee not, but for Blasphemy, because that thou being a Man, makest thy self God. Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your Law, I said, Ye are Gods? If he called them Gods, unto whom the Word of God came, and the Scripture cannot be broken: Say ye of him whom the Father hath sanctified and sent into the World, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? In Psal. 8.5. we read ⟨p. 27⟩thus; Thou hast made him a little lower than the Angels: In the Hebr. 'tis, than the Gods. Here, and in the like places, a single Person is not Elohim, but Eloah, which is sometimes used of the most High; as in Psalm. 18.32. Job 12.4.
