great Creator , we learn , th sit every hi an is tempted by the indulgence of his own lusts , We should consider , there fore , that the word angeh always Jgnifies messengers , and that if it had teen always translated messengers , one great difficulty would have been
removed out of our way . Now , what \ tfere the messengers whom the apo $ tJe had to encounter , but the messengers of Eersecuting princes anrf of others , who y their murdering thrcatenings endeavoured to reduce all Christian preachers to silence ? Such messengers , therefore , with all the terrors which he here
introduces , could , he asserts , make no impression upon him , whilst he knew in whom he believed , whilst he professed the gospel , and such should be the resolution qf every one of us , whilst we look n 6 t at things seen and temporal , but at things unseen mid eternal . '
Hence , then , We should leant to employ ourselves in such studies-as \ vilt most effectually terminate in sur conviction of the truth of the gospel , and of the blessed hope which it Sets before us , if we walk worthy of ^ ur
heavenly califng . We should therefore search the scriptures with all piety ancf diligence " , and be directed to lay hold upon that unfailing inheri tance Which will be the portion of fall those who love God , and keep his comrnafidfnents , when this tyotid and all
the things of this work ! shfall be no more . We should , therefore ! , sedulously practise all the duti ^ whks l * are required frtfrn us as the discip les of < mrist , wtirfehipin ^ G od in spirit and ^ ihWth ; ^ ntfiSoHn ff unto him as our only strength allid Tfefueewhilst we do

^ IR , Bath , \ Oth JDecemher , 18 l 6 . IT will , I presume , be a high gratification to most of your readers , if some of your ingenious correspondents will favour therri with a clear explication of the doctrine of angels which is contained in the whole scriptures . The itigels whb kept not their first estate to Whom Jade refers , I take it for
granted , were the lying spies who gave a false account of the land of Judea ; and the angels who are mentioned in the first chapter of the epistle to the Hebrews , to be prophets who went before tfrid predicted the coming and character of Christ .
' * But what I intend at present , is to Attempt an explanation of the word Zx ttHgels , which we find in Romans Tiii . * 2 fe 8 ' .
