VII–X. Ordination of events: preservation, confirmation, permission of fall, hardening; good angels works
VII. Ordination of the event is preservation, confirmation, or permission of a fall and hardening. VIII. Preservation is that by which certain angels are kept from falling. IX. Confirmation is that by which they are made firm in the good.
X. There are many modes by which good angels work concerning human beings: they open tongues and hand on divine speech (Isaiah 6:6); they heal the sick (John 5:4); they refresh the weary (1 Kings 19:7); they allow themselves to be overcome by the dear (Genesis 32:28); they console the afflicted (Genesis 21:17); they exhort to doing good (Acts 8:26); they pass from heaven to earth (Genesis 28:12; John 1:51); they animate those who pray (Judges 13); they love and defend the chaste everywhere most ardently (Judith 13:20).
It may be asked why no holy angel (so far as I know) has ever seated himself in a dear human body, though fugitive angels have so often dared it. I answer: first, the human being is a temple sacred to the Deity; angels, led by reverence and love, refuse to invade their Princes chamber by their own entry. Second, since God so ennobled human origin by the wondrous conjunction of divine and human nature, angels will claim so little license over a human being that they endure to be called not only servants of the Deity but servants of the human as well.
Latin
VII. Ordinatio eventus est praeservatio, confirmatio aut permissio lapsus et obfirmatio. VIII. Praeservatio est, qua quidam angeli a lapsu servantur. IX. Confirmatio est, qua in bono firmati sunt. X. Sunt autem multi modi quibus boni angeli circa homines operantur: 1. linguas aperiunt et eloquia divina tradunt (Es. 6:6); 2. aegrotos sanant (Ioh. 5:4); 3. fatigatos reficiunt (1 Reg. 19:7); 4. a charis vinci se sinunt (Gen. 32:28); 5. afflictos solantur (Gen. 21:17); 6. ad benefaciendum hortantur (Act. 8:26); 7. e caelo in terras commeant (Gen. 28:12; Ioh. 1:51); 8. orantes animant (Iudic. 13); 9. castos ubique ardentissime amant et propugnant (Iudith 13:20). Quaeritur cur nullus unquam sanctorum Angelorum (quod ego quidem sciam) chari hominis corpus insiderit, quod tamen transfugae Angeli saepe saepius sunt ausi. RESPONDEO: 1. Homo templum est Numini sacrum; Angeli reverentia et amore ducti principis sui conclave suo ingressu nolunt temerare. 2. Cum Deus hominis originem adeo nobilitarit admirando divinae et humanae naturae conjugio, tam nihil sibi in hominem licere volunt Angeli ut non tantum Numinis sed et hominis servos se dici toderent.
