be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o wise_a ancient_n that_o not_o only_o every_o person_n man_n or_o woman_n from_o his_o or_o her_o first_o come_v into_o this_o world_n have_v in_o a_o especial_a manner_n a_o particular_a good_a angel_n depute_v which_o therefore_o be_v call_v his_o or_o her_o guardian_n angel_n or_o good_a genius_n and_o that_o another_o evil_a angel_n also_o of_o a_o direct_a contrary_a nature_n and_o property_n be_v always_o attend_v we_o thence_o call_v catademon_n or_o a_o man_n evil_a genius_n but_o also_o that_o community_n nation_n and_o country_n have_v also_o particular_a angel_n assign_v to_o their_o government_n or_o super-intendency_a and_o therefore_o in_o some_o translation_n that_o eight_o verse_n of_o the_o thirty_o second_o chapter_n of_o deuteronomy_n be_v thus_o read_v when_o the_o most_o high_o divide_v to_o the_o nation_n their_o inheritance_n when_o he_o separate_v the_o son_n of_o adam_n when_o he_o set_v the_o bound_n of_o the_o

call_v the_o son_n of_o god_n thus_o as_o all_o contention_n hate_n malice_n strife_n oppression_n violence_n fight_v kill_v murder_n and_o war_n both_o private_a and_o public_a be_v first_o conceive_v in_o the_o spirit_n and_o have_v their_o foundation_n from_o the_o wrathful_a poisonous_a principle_n so_o when_o man_n by_o their_o sinful_a vanity_n have_v awake_v or_o kindle_v this_o direful_a principle_n which_o threaten_v destruction_n and_o ruin_n to_o both_o private_a family_n and_o public_a society_n state_n or_o government_n than_o there_o begin_v a_o great_a combat_n and_o as_o it_o be_v open_a war_n between_o the_o guardian_n angel_n of_o each_o person_n or_o country_n and_o which_o soever_o of_o they_o get_v the_o victory_n that_o king_n country_n or_o people_n succee_v in_o its_o war_n here_o below_o and_o subdue_v the_o other_o this_o i_o conceive_v be_v plain_a and_o undeniable_o evident_a from_o the_o 10_o chapter_n of_o the_o prophet_n daniel_n where_o a_o angel_n come_v to_o daniel_n who_o have_v spend_v three_o week_n in_o mourning_n fast_v &_o pray_v &_o say_v unto_o he_o o_o daniel_n great_o belove_v understand_v the_o word_n i_o speak_v unto_o

the_o chief_a prince_n come_v to_o help_v i_o and_o i_o remain_v there_o with_o the_o king_n of_o persia_n now_o i_o be_o come_v to_o make_v thou_o understand_v what_o shall_v befall_v thy_o people_n in_o the_o latter_a day_n for_o the_o vision_n be_v for_o many_o day_n and_o have_v strengthen_v the_o prophet_n proceed_v thus_o know_v thou_o wherefore_o i_o come_v unto_o thou_o i_o will_v return_v to_o fight_v with_o the_o prince_n of_o persia_n and_o when_o i_o be_o go_v forth_o lo_o the_o prince_n of_o grecia_n shall_v come_v but_o i_o will_v show_v thou_o that_o which_o be_v note_v in_o
