things which must come to pass; and to testify that such things as had been told them before, were faithful and true.

(e) Sometimes they appeared in a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, and in slumberings upon the bed. And sometimes they talk with men face to face; and their appearance was as the appearance of a man, and their voice as a man's voice.

(f) The children of Israel received the law by the disposition of angels; for it was ordained by angels in the hand of a Mediator.

(g) But in these last days hath God spoken unto us by his Son. And unto the angels hath he not put into subjecton the world to come, whereof the Lord and they that heard him spake to us. For to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right-hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool?

(b) On the day that Christ our Saviour was born, there was a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God and saying, Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peaec, good will towards

men.

(i) The angel of the Lord encampeth roundabout them that fear him, and delivereth them. God shall give his angels charge over them, to keep them in all their ways. The Lord, before whom they walk, will send his angel with them, and prosper their way, and redeem them from all evil.

(k) The angels are all ministring spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation.

(1) There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over a sinner that repenteth; and when a good man dieth, he shall be carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom.

(m) Take heed that ye despise not one of those little ones which believe in Christ: For in heaven their angels do always behold the face of their Father which is in heaven.

(n) The angel of the Lord standeth in the way for an adversary against him that goeth beyond the word of the Lord his God.

(0) The Lord sendeth his angels to destroy cities and nations, when he is displeased with them; and to smite him who giveth not God the glory of what he doth.

(p) At the end of the world, when the Son of man shall come in the clouds with great power and glory, then shall he send his angels, and shall gather together his elect; and the angels shall come forth, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and they shall sever the wicked from among the just. and shall cast them into the furnace of fire: There shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no not the angels of heaven.

EVIL ANGELS.

(a) There are also other angels, which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation.

(r) And these angels that sinned, God spared not, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto the judgment of the great day.

(s) And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent called the Devil and Satan, which deceiveth the world; that accuser of our brethren, which accuseth them before God day and night: He was cast, out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him; neither was their place found any more in heaven.

(t) The lying spirit in the mouth of the false prophets; the familar spirits and spirits of divination, which men inquired of that they might make known unto them what they should do; and the evil and unclean spirits, with which men were possessed and grievously vexed. All these were evil angels, or devils.

(u) The things which the Gentiles sacrificed, they sacrificed to devils, and not to God. For they worshipped devils, and idols of gold, and silver, and brass, and stone, and of wood.

(w) And in the latter times, some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits,

and doctrines of devils.

(x) The devils believe that there is a God, and tremble; and they know Jesus, who he is, the holy one of God, the Son of the Most High. For with authority he commanded the unclean spirits, and they obeyed him. And when they saw him, they fell down before him, and cried, saying, Thou art the Son of God.

(y) He gave also his disciples power and authority over all devils and unclean spirits, and even the devils were subject unto them, through his name.

(*) Our adversary the devil is come down unto us, having great wrath, because he knoweth that. he hath but a short time; and he goeth to and fro in the earth; and walketh up and down in it, as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour.

(a) This is Beelzebub; the prince and chief of devils; who is also stiled the Prince and God of this world, the wicked one, the enemy, and tempter of mankind; who had the power of death, till Christ through death destroyed him.

(b) How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! Thou who saidst, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, I will be like the Most High: Behold thou art fallen as lightning from heaven.

(c) This is the Prince of the power of the air; the Spirit that now worketh in the children of

disobedience; and the working of Satan is with all power and signs, and lying wonders, and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness, in them that perish.

(d) The devil was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own; for he is a liar, and the father of it.

(e) The kingdom of heaven is like unto a man which sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemies came and sowed tares among the wheat. He that soweth the good seed is the son of man; the field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one; and the enemy that soweth them is the devil.

(f) In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil; whosoever doth not righteousness, is not of God; neither he that loveth not his brother.

(g) He that committeth sin is of the devil: For the devil sinneth from the beginning. And they that are of their father the devil, will do the Justs of their father.

(b) Cain was of that wicked one, and slew his brother, because his own works were evil, and his brother's righteous.

(i) The God of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ should shine unto them.
