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.

18.10_o the_o angel_n of_o christ_n little_a one_o be_v say_v to_o behold_v the_o face_n of_o god_n in_o heaven_n viz._n their_o communion_n with_o god_n be_v not_o eclipse_v god_n fill_v every_o

of_o god_n elect_a angel_n even_o while_o they_o be_v on_o earth_n with_o we_o have_v a_o fullness_n of_o god_n presence_n and_o joy_n some_o way_n 7._o way_n leigh_v body_n of_o divin_n lib._n 3._o

his_o guide_n to_o god_n p._n 79._o will_n of_o god_n and_o see_v his_o face_n and_o rejoice_v in_o his_o service_n for_o although_o they_o go_v up_o and_o down_o in_o their_o ministry_n here_o below_o yet_o this_o they_o perform_v without_o regret_n or_o distraction_n and_o their_o happiness_n be_v not_o thereby_o obstruct_v as_o the_o soul_n in_o heaven_n be_v not_o hinder_v from_o

earth_n as_o know_v they_o must_v short_o return_v in_o triumph_n to_o their_o native_a country_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n they_o here_o below_o do_v full_o enjoy_v the_o face_n and_o favour_n of_o
