Verſe 5. For unto the Angels, &c.] The Jews, as they had embraced the Pythagorean tranſanimation, Mat, 16.14. [non-Latin text not transcribed] &c. ſo the Platonike opinion of Angels, moving the heavens, and ordering the world; whom therefore they worſhipped, intruding into thoſe things, whereof there was no found either proof or profit, Coloſ. 2.18. The Angels (ſay Proculus the Platoniſt and Plutarch) are meſſengers that carry Gods minde to men, and mens requeſts to God. But who told them all this. Egregie dicis, ſed quomodo probas? ſaid Ariſtotle of Moſes, may we better ſay of theſe bold affirmers.
