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.

of_o holy_a learned_a and_o unbyast_a man_n be_v not_o a_o little_a to_o be_v heed_v and_o do_v exceed_o conduce_v to_o the_o clear_n of_o scripture-truth_n tend_v to_o settle_v and_o establish_v we_o

will_v thus_o easy_o appear_v unto_o we_o 1._o the_o translation_n of_o the_o bible_n into_o several_a language_n have_v still_o be_v high_o value_v in_o god_n church_n the_o generality_n of_o god_n
