have_v smite_v and_o destroy_v thousand_o of_o man_n in_o a_o night_n as_o 2_o kin._n 19_o and_o rejoice_v over_o sinner_n which_o repent_v four_o the_o scripture_n reckon_v up_o angel_n not_o among_o

in_o many_o respect_n resemble_v god_n more_o than_o any_o other_o creature_n first_o in_o their_o very_a substance_n and_o natural_a be_v for_o as_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n so_o they_o be_v spirit_n

and_o do_v relate_v great_a and_o mighty_a work_n do_v by_o angel_n most_o ready_o and_o speedy_o without_o delay_n the_o six_o point_n be_v that_o angel_n be_v distinct_a and_o different_a among_o

definition_n of_o angel_n 3._o corollary_n the_o three_o corollary_n be_v that_o the_o bodily_a shape_n of_o man_n and_o angel_n other_o creature_n in_o which_o angel_n have_v appear_v be_v no_o
