〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 increpet te deus Iignar Iehoua beca The Lord rebuke thee This angel is called Iehoua Zach. 3. 1. 2. Nowe I thinke it more proper to vnderstand Moses bodie literally because Moses bodie how to be taken it is without any wresting or crackled sense and more agreeable to the storie Deut. 34. 6. The obiections made against this sense are three two against the first part one against the latter 1. Because Saint Peter speaketh of angels properly that they giue no railing iudgment 2. Pet. 2. 11. Answer 1. Saint Peter speaketh not altogither of the same case for there the angels raile not against the Magistrates of the earth here Michael doeth not against the Deuill 2. They may both very well agree Iude speaketh of Michael himselfe Peter of Michaels Angels that follow the example of their prince Obiect 2. But the word here vsed is 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 hee durst not howe can this be spoken of Christ who is equall vnto God and feareth none Answer 1. Christ is to be considered as our Mediatour both God and man and in this respect he is minor patre lesse then his father and the Apostle doubteth not to ascribe vnto him 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 feare Hebr. 5. 7. and 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 he shall be subiect to his father 1. Cor. 15. 28. either of these is as much as 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 he durst not 2. We say this word may be otherwise translated by this word sustineo to sustaine or beare as Rom. 5. 7. One dare or will endure to die for a good man 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 mori sustineat as Master Beza expoundeth so that the sense may be this Michael dust not or would not endure to giue railing sentence c. 3. Obiect The greatest matter obiected against this sense is for that this storie of Michaels contending with the deuill about the body of Moses is not found in scripture Answer 1. It is like that some historicall books of scripture are perished as that Iosu. 10. 13. out of the which the Apostle had this storie as S. Paul that of Iannes and Iambres 2. Tim. 3. 8. and yet the scripture remaining is sufficient 2. Or it may be affirmed that these stories were preserued in the Church by faithfull tradition neither will it follow this beeing allowed that popish traditions are to be admitted Error 23. Traditions we absolutely condemne not but receiue them with these three conditions 1. That they be traditions historicall What traditions may be receiued not doctrinall as this of Moses bodie for the scripture containeth all sufficiencie of doctrine 2. They must be consonant and agreeable to the scriptures as this is to that place Zachar. 3. 2. 3. There must be an apparant certentie and euidence of them as there was of this the Apostles beeing directed by Gods spirit beeing able to iudge of true and forged traditions Wherefore this is no warrant at all for popish traditions which are of doctrine repugnant to Scripture and fabulous and vncerten Now hauing laid open the sense I come to the doctrine Archangel Though Christ be here vnderstood to be this Archangel who is 1. Doctrin also called the angel of the couenant Mal. 3. 2. and a mightie angel Reuel 10. 1. yet this name Archangel which signifieth the first or chiefe angel sheweth that among the angels and blessed spirits there are diuerse degrees and orders Testim Coloss. 1. 16. The diuers names of thrones dominions principalities powers shew diuers degrees for they are not idle names 1. Thess. 4. 16. Christ shall descend with the voice of the Archangel who shall be appointed as a chiefe Minister to summon the world and call the elect together Exemp Luk. 2. 9. One angel as the chiefe doth the message to the angels the residue called heauenly soldiers doe sing the song vers 13. Exornat For like as there is a difference of glorie among the starres 1. Cor. 15. 41. as there were diuers degrees in the Leuiticall priesthood which was a patterne Heb. 8. 5. of heauenly things so is it amōg the angels Aitiolog Psal. 148. 2. Laudate cum omnes angeli omnes exercitus i. varietas ordinū Praise him all his angels and armies that this varietie of orders as in an armie doth more set forth the praise of God Applicat 1. We condemne the curiositie of the Papists who haue found out nine orders of angels principalities powers Error 14. dominions thrones Coloss. 1. 16. mights Eph 1. 22. Seraphim Cherubim angels arke-angels all these names we confesse to be found in scripture but to distinguish these into their rankes and orders as they take vpon them to make three orders is too great curiositie in so doing they vnderstand not what they speake nor whereof they affirme as the Apostle saith 1. Tim. 1. 7. 2. As there are degrees among the angels so shall there be among the elect for Degrees amōg the Angels we shall be as the angels Math. 22. 30. There is a Prophets reward and a Disciples reward Math. 10. 41. Many mansions in Gods house Ioh. 14. 2. as in the Arke were three loftes one aboue an other This ought to pricke vs forward to godly emulation that we should striue one to outstrippe an other in goodnes as they which runne in a race 1. Cor. 9. 24. Striuing against the deuill c. Doctrin As in this one particular in not suffering Moses bodie to come to light Doctr. 2. so at all other times there is a continuall strife and opposition betweene Christ and his angels and the deuill and his Testim Reuel 12. 7. Rom. 16. 20. The God of peace shall tread c. which sheweth a resistance in Sathan that he is not at the first troden downe Exempl Dan. 10. 13. Michael with the good angels striue against the prince of Persia a chiefe minister of Sathan Luk. 22. 31 32. Christ striueth against Sathan in vpholding Peters faith Exorn. Therefore is Sathan compared to the lightening Luk. 10. 18. which at the first rumbleth and resisteth in the cloudes but at the length violently breaketh forth like as Moses serpents deuoured the sorcerers serpents which stroue against his Aitiolog Gen. 3. 15. The reason of this strife is that enmitie which is betweene the seede of the woman and the seede of the serpent Because Sathan goeth about to destroy the children of God Michael taketh our part against the dragon that is readie to deuoure the child Reuel 12. Applicat 1. We see then the cause why Papists hate Protestants Atheists prophane Error 25. persons such as are religious because darknesse is an enemie to light the children of the flesh persecute them after the spirit Gal. 4. 2. We are encouraged manfully to stand out against Satan and his ministers Papists Atheists carnall worldly men because Christ fighteth with vs and if God be on our side who can be against
