A81481	The deputation of angels, or, The angell-guardian: I. Proved by the dim light of nature, clear beames of Scriptures, and consent of many ancient and modern writers, untainted with popery. II. Cleared from many rubs and mistakes; the criticall queries of antagonists examined, untyed. III. Applyed and improved, for our information in many other truths; consolation in our adversities; and reformation of our lives. Chiefly grounded on Acts 12. 15. It is his angell. / By Robert Dingley, M.A. and minister of the word at Brixton in the isle of Wight; formerly Fellow of Magdalen Colledge in Oxford.

of_o this_o point_n by_o the_o joint_a assent_n of_o many_o ancient_a and_o modern_a writer_n untainted_a with_o popish_a leven_a and_o here_o we_o shall_v consider_v two_o thing_n 1._o that_o this_o evidence_n be_v not_o vain_a 2._o that_o of_o these_o evidence_n there_o be_v store_n 1._o that_o the_o judgement_n of_o antiquity_n viz._n of_o learned_a pious_a and_o orthodox_n writer_n in_o several_a age_n do_v tend_v very_o much_o to_o the_o right_a understanding_n of_o scripture-truth_n we_o do_v not_o say_v that_o father_n that_o see_v john_n daille_n of_o the_o right_a use_n of_o

or_o that_o general_n counsel_n can_v err_v or_o final_o that_o there_o be_v not_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o antiquity_n of_o error_n but_o this_o we_o safe_o may_v affirm_v that_o the_o judgement_n of_o holy_a learned_a and_o unbyast_a man_n be_v not_o a_o little_a to_o be_v heed_v and_o do_v exceed_o conduce_v to_o the_o clear_n of_o scripture-truth_n tend_v to_o settle_v and_o establish_v we_o in_o the_o true_a meaning_n of_o god_n word_n 3.15_o 1_o tim._n 3.15_o the_o church_n be_v call_v the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n not_o so_o much_o a_o marble_n pillar_n to_o support_v the_o truth_n as_o a_o pillar_n on_o which_o be_v paste_v the_o proclamation_n of_o divine_a truth_n that_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o learned_a and_o orthodox_n be_v not_o to_o be_v neglect_v will_v thus_o easy_o appear_v unto_o we_o 1._o the_o translation_n of_o the_o bible_n into_o several_a language_n have_v still_o be_v high_o value_v in_o god_n church_n the_o generality_n of_o god_n people_n have_v no_o other_o bible_n to_o peruse_v but_o that_o which_o be_v clothe_v in_o their_o mother_n tongue_n on_o this_o bible_n they_o build_v their_o salvation_n nay_o the_o most_o learned_a linguist_n do_v know_v the_o signification_n of_o greek_a and_o hebrew_n word_n only_o upon_o credit_n of_o their_o teacher_n and_o author_n therefore_o also_o the_o exposition_n of_o the_o scripture_n by_o the_o same_o or_o like-learned_n or_o sound_a man_n be_v not_o to_o be_v suspect_v or_o vilipend_v in_o god_n church_n 2._o they_o have_v strong_a and_o solid_a proof_n of_o the_o thing_n that_o they_o hold_v well_o back_v with_o scripture_n &_o reason_n and_o intermix_v with_o fervent_a exhortation_n to_o piety_n 3._o 5.20_o 1_o thes_n 5.20_o if_o we_o must_v regard_v the_o
