CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR.On the governance of angels.
Next, the special governance of GOD is of ANGELS or of HUMAN BEINGS.II.The governance of angels is that by which they are governed by GOD only spiritually.Their governance must be considered here because God variously uses their ministry concerning human beings (Psalm 91:11 and 34:8; Isaiah 37:36; Hebrews 1:14) and other creatures that serve humankind.
III.It is the conservation of their essence and the direction of their actions.IV.Conservation of their essence is that by which each is eternalized without propagation.For they are spirits, and so incorporeal, created immediately by God from nothing, as shown above in chapter 26, and not made for generating (Matthew 22:30).Actions is the prescription of law and the ordination of the event that follows from it.
Latin
CAPUT TRICESIMUM QUARTUM, De gubernatione Angelorum. POrrò specialis DEI gubernatio est ANGELORUM aut HOMINUM. II. Gubernatio Angelorum est, qua a DEO gubernantur tantum spiritualiter. Angelorum gubernatio hic consideranda venit, quia horum ministerio Deus varie utitur circa homines (Psal. 91:11 et 34:8; Es. 37:36; Heb. 1:14) aliasque creaturas quae homini inserviunt. III. Estque essentiae illorum conservatio, actionum directio. IV. Essentiae eorum conservatio est, qua sine propagatione aeternantur singuli. Sunt enim spiritus, adeoque incorporei, immediate producti a Deo e nihilo, ut supra cap. 26 demonstratum est, ad generandum haud constituti (Matth. 22:30). V. Actionum directio est praescriptio legis et eventus inde sequentis ordinatio.
