of_o particular_a church_n as_o of_o ephesus_n etc._n etc._n which_o they_o understand_v of_o the_o angel_n guardian_n i_o will_v not_o dispute_v that_o but_o that_o place_n of_o 1._o cor._n 11.10_o

enlarge_v this_o now_o particular_o we_o will_v now_o speak_v of_o the_o reason_n why_o god_n use_v this_o ministry_n of_o angel_n towards_o we_o if_o you_o ask_v in_o general_a why_o god_n use_v the_o ministry_n of_o angel_n qu._n it_o be_v for_o his_o own_o glory_n he_o have_v creature_n about_o he_o fit_a for_o his_o service_n dan._n 7.10_o there_o be_v a_o brave_a court_n thousand_o

the_o same_o reason_n of_o proportion_n the_o angel_n which_o be_v invisible_a spirit_n and_o be_v all_o spirit_n have_v a_o influence_n upon_o man_n which_o be_v partly_o spirit_n and_o partly_o
