1 Corinthians8:5
5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, as there be gods many, and lords many .
There are many whom Heathens call Gods, and whom God himself calleth Gods: the Angels that are in Heaven are called Gods Host, Gen. 32.2. The heavenly Host, Luke 2.13. The Sons of God, Iob 1.6. & 2.1. Magistrates are also called Gods, Psal. 82.6. because God hath committed a great part of his Power unto them. Thus there are many Gods and many Lords.
