(9.) ANGELS, OPINIONS OF THE MAHOMETANS, CONCERNING. The Mahometans have fo great a refpect for the angels, that they account a man an infidel who either denies their exiftence, or loves them not. They believe them to be free from fin, enjoying the prefence of God, to whom they are never difobedient: that they have fubtile pure bodies, being created of light; and have no diftinétion of fexes, nor need the refreshment of food or fleep. They fuppofe them to have dif ferent forms and offices: that some adore God in feveral poftures; others fing his praifes, and intercede for men; fome carry and encompafs his throne; others write the actions of men, and are guardians to them.

or calamities, public or private, here below; inftances of which are too numerous to mention. Befides their attendance on God, and their executing his commands, they are alfo prefumed to be employed in taking care of mankind and their concerns and that every man had such a tutelar or guardian angel, even from his birth, was a firm belief and tradition among the Jews; and our faviour himself feems to have been of the fame fentiment. As the numbers of these celeftial fpirits are very great, it is likewise reasonable to believe that there are feveral orders and degrees among them; which is alfo confirmed by Scripture; whence fome fpeculative men have diftributed them into 9 orders, according to the different names by which they are there called; and reduced those orders into three bierarchies, as they call them; to the first of which belong feraphim, cherubim, and thrones; and to the fecond, dominions, virtues, and powers; and to the third, principalities, arch-angels, and angels. They imagine farther, that there are some who conftantly refide in heaven; others who are minifters, and fent forth, as there is occafion, to execute the orders they receive from God by the former. The Jews reckon but four orders or companies of angels, each headed by an arch-angel: the firft order being that of Michael, and the fecond of Gabriel, the third of Uriel, and the fourth of Raphael but though the Jews believe them to be four, yet it feems there were rather feven. The Perfians alfo held, there were fubordinate degrees among the angels.

(8.) ANGELS, OPINIONS OF THE HEATHENS CONCERNING. The heathens generally believe in the doctrine of every man having a tutelary angel. They thought it a crime to neglect the admonitions of fo divine a guide. Socrates publicly confeffed himself to be under the direction of fuch an angel, or dæmon, as feveral others have fince done. And on this tutelar genius of each perfon they believed his happiness and fortune depended. Every genius did his beft for the intereft of his client; and if a man came by the worst, it was a fign the ftrength of his genius was inferior to that of his opponent, that is, of an inferior order; and this was governed by chance. There were fome genii, whofe afcendent was fo great over others, that their very prefence entirely difconcerted them; which was fuppofed to be the cafe of that of Auguftus in refpect of that of Marc Antony. The Romans thought the tutelar genii of those who attained the empire, to be of an eminent order; on which account they had great honours shown them. The nations and cities alfo had their feveral genii. The ancient Perfians fo firmly believed the miniftry of angels, and their fuperintendance over human affairs, that they gave their names to the months, and the days of their months, and afligned them diftinct offices and provinces; and it is from them the Jews confels to have received the names of the months and angels, which they brought with them when they returned from the Babylonish captivity. After which we find, they alto affigned charges to the angels, and in particular the patronage of empires and nations; Michael being the prince of the Jews,

(10.) ANGELS, OPINIONS RESPECTING THE FALLEN. Although the angels were originally created perfect, good and obedient to their Mafter's will, yet fome of them finned, and kept not their firft eftate, but left their habitation; and fo, of the moft bleffed and glorious, became the moft vile and miferable of all God's creatures. They were expeiled the regions of light, and caft down to hell, to be referved in everlasting chains under darknefs until the day of judgement. With heaven they loft their heavenly difpofition, which delighted once in doing good and praifing God; and fell into a fettled rancour against him, and malice againft men: their inward peace was gone; all defire of doing good departed from them; and, instead thereof, revengetul thoughts and despair took poffeffion of them, and created an eternal hell within them. And, for that of fence, thefe apostate spirits fell from heaven, and plunged themielves into fuch an abyts of wickednefs and woe, are queftions impoffible to be deter mined by any clear evidence of fcripture. As to the time, we are certain that it could not be before the fixth day of the creation; becaufe on that day it is faid, "God faw every thing that he had made, and behold it was very good:" but that it was not long after is very probable, as it must have preceded the fall of our firft parents. Some have imagined it to have been after, and that carnality, or lufting to converse with women upon earth, was the fin which ruined them: but this is too ridiculous to bear refutation. Others have fuppofed, that the angels, being informed of God's intention to create man after his own i mage, and to dignify his nature by Chrift's affu ming of it, and thinking their glory to be eclipfed thereby, envied man's happinefs, and fo revolted; and with this opinion that of the Mahometans has fome affinity; who are taught, that the devil, who was once one of thofe angels who are nearest to God's prefence, and named Azazil, forfeited paradife for refuting to pay homage to Adam at the command of God. But on what occafion foever it firft fhowed itself, pride feems to have been the leading fin of the augels; who admiring and valuing themfelves too much on the excellence of their nature and the height of their station, came at length to entertain fo little refpect for their Creator, as to be guilty of downright rebellion and apoftafy. It is certain from Scripture, that

thefe

befe fallen angels were in great numbers, and that there were alfo fome order and fubordination preferved among them; one efpecially being confidered as their prince, and called by leveral names, Beelzebub, Satan, or Sammael by the Jews: Aburimam, by the Persians; and Eb is, by the Mahometans. Their conftant employment is not only doing evil themfelves, but endeavouring by all arts to feduce and pervert mankind, by tempting them to all kind of fin, and thereby bringing them into the fame desperate state with themGres.

ANGELS, ufed metaphorically, are titles applied to bishops of feveral churches. In this fenfe St Paal is to be understood, where he says, "Women caght to be covered in the church, beca fe of the ange" Dr Prideaux obferves, that the minifter of the fynagogue, who officiated in offering up the pubic prayers, being the mouth of the congregatun, delegated by them as their reprefentative, Leflenger, or angel, to fpeak to God in prayer for them, was therefore, in the Hebrew language, led the angel of the church; and thence the bhups of the seven churches of Afia are called the angels of thofe churches.

(IV.) ANGELICA, USES OF THE, IN MEDICINE. For the purposes of medicine, Bohemia and Spain produce the best kinds of angelica. The London college directs the roots brought from Spain to be alone made ufe of. Angelica roots are apt to grow mouldy, and be preyed upon by infects, unless thoroughly dried, kept in a dry place, and frequently aired. It is probable that the roots which are fubject to this inconvenience might be preferved, by dipping them in boiling fpirit, or expofing them to its steam, after they are dried. All the parts of angelica, efpecially the root, have

R

a tra

a fragrant aromatic smell, and a pleasant bitterish warm taste, glowing upon the lips and palate for a long time after they have been chewed. The flavour of the feeds and leaves is very perishable, particularly that of the latter, which, on being barely dried, lofe the greateft part of their tafte and fmell: the roots are more tenacious of their flavour, though even thefe lofe part of it upon keeping. The fresh root, wounded early in the fpring, yields an odorous, yellow juice, which flowly exficcated, proves an elegant gummy refin, very rich in the virtues of the angelica. On drying the root, this juice concretes into diftin&t molecule, which, on cutting it longitudinally, appear diftributed in little veins: in this ftate, they are extracted by pure fpirit, but not by watery liquors. -Angelica is one of the most elegant aromatics of European growth, though little regarded in the prefent practice. The root, which is the most efficacious part, is ufed in the aromatic tincture; and the ftalks make an agreeable fweet-meat.

ANGELO, Michael, the name of celebrated Italian painters, who flourished in the 16th and 17th centuries; but of whom we fhall only mention the two most distinguished.

1. ANGELO, Michael, de Buonarrotti, was a moft incomparable painter, fculptor, and archi tect, born in 1474, in the territory of Arezzi in Tufcany. He was the difciple of Dominico Ghir landaio; and erected an academy of painting and fculpture in Florence, under the patronage of Lorenzo de Medicis; which, upon the troubles of that houfe, he was obliged to remove to Bologna. About this time he made an image of Cupid, which he carried to Rome, broke off one of its arms, and buried the image in a place he knew would foon be dug up, keeping the arm by him. It was accordingly found, and fold to Car dinal St Gregory for an antique; until Michael to their confufion and his own credit, difcovered his artifice, and confirmed it by the deficient arm which he produced. It is rather unufual for the manufacturers of antiques to be fo ingenious. At the defire of Pope Paul III. he executed his mot celebrated picture of The last judgment. He has the character of being the greatest designer that ever lived; and it is univerfally allowed that no painter ever understood anatomy better. He died immenfely rich at Rome, in 1564.

2. ANGELO, Michael, de Caravaggio, born at that village in Milan, 1569. He was at firf only a bricklayer's labourer: but he was fo charmed with feeing fome painters at work, that he immediately applied himself to the art; and made fuch progrefs in a few years, that he was admired as the author of a new ftyle in painting. There one picture of his in the Dominican charcu af

ANGELO, St, the name of feveral places in Italy; viz. 1. a strong cattle at Rome, whither the Pope retires in times of danger: 2. a caitle, and 3. a diftrict of Corfu: 4. an impregnable cafte in Multa: 5. a feaport town of Apulia, in the Gulf of Venice, 8 miles N. of Manfredonia: 6.a tall but ftrong town in the Capitanata of Naples: Lub. 15. 56.

That city is now reduced to an inconfiderable village, and has given place to another called Puebla des los degelos, or the city of Angels. See next article. (2.) ANGELOS, LOS, the second city of Mexico, was formerly an Indian town; but in 1530 was entirely abandoned by the natives, on account of the cruelty of the Spaniards. A fucceeding viceroy of Mexico, by a milder treatment, recalled them; and the town is now exceedingly rich and populous, fo as even to vie with Mexico itfelf in magnificence. It is fituated on the river Zacatula, in a fine valley, about 25 leagues to the eaftWard of Mexico. In the middle is a beautiful and pacious fquare, from whence run the principal reets in direct lines, which are croffed by others gright angles. One fide is almost entirely occuby the magnificent front of the cathedral; e the other three confift of piazzas, under ich are the fhops of tradefmen. The city is the fee of a bishop, fuffragan to the archbishop of Mexico, and we may form a judgment of the weath of the place by the revenue of the cathecral and chapter, which amounts to 300,000 pieces of eight annually. It must be remembered, towever, that in all popish countries the wealth of the laity by no means bears the fame proportion to that of the clergy, as in Britain. What contributes greatly to encreafe the riches of this province is, that here is fituated the city of Vera Cruz, that natural centre of all the American treafures belonging to Spain. Lon. 103. 10.

ANGELUS, Chriftopher, a native of Greece, who, after fuffering many hardships and cruelties from the Turks, came over to England, where he was well received. He taught Greek in the Univerfity of Oxford, and wrote feveral books; particularly an account of his own fufferings, which is very interefting. It was printed in Greek and Englifu, in 1617. He died in 1638.

(1.) * ANGER. n. f. [a word of no certain etymology, but, with most probability, derived by Skinner, from ange, Sax. vexed; which, however, feems to come originally from the Latin ango.] 1. Anger is unealinefs or difcomposure of the mind, upon the receipt of any injury, with a prefent purpose of revenge. Locke.

Anger is like

A full hot horfe, who being allow'd his way,
Self-mettle tires him.
Shakespeare.

Anger is, according to fome, a tranfient hatred, or at least very like it. South. 2. Pain, or fmart, of a fore or fwelling. In this fenfe it seems plainly deducible from angor.-I made the experiment, fetting the moxa where the firft violence of my pain began, and where the greatest anger and forenefs still continued, notwithstanding the fwelling of my foot. Temple.

(2.) ANGER, REFLECTIONS UPON. Anger is either deliberative or inftinctive; and the latter kind is rath and ungovernable, because it operates blindly, without affording time for deliberation or forefight. Bishop Butler juftly obferves, that anger is far from being a felfith paffion, fince it is naturally excited by injuries offered to others as well as to ourfelves; and was defigned by the Author of nature not only to excite us to act vigorously in defending ourselves from evil, but to intereft us in the defence or refcue of the injured and helpless, and to raise us above the fear of the proud and mighty oppreffor. Neither, therefore, is all anger finful: hence the precept, "Be ye angry and fin not.”—It becomes finful, however, when it is conceived upon flight provocations,

R 2

and

and continues long. It is then contrary to the amiable fpirit of charity, which "fuffereth long, and is not eafily provoked." Hence thefe other precepts, "Let every man be flow to anger;" and, "Let not the fun go down upon your wrath." Such precepts fuppofe the paffion of anger to be within our power. This power confifts not so much in any faculty we have of appeafing our wrath at the time (for we are paffive under the fmart which an injury or affront occafions, and all we can then do is to prevent its breaking out into action), as in fo moliifying our minds by habits of juft reflection, as to be lefs ir. ritated by impreffions of injury, and to be fooner pacified.

(3.) ANGER, SEDATIVES Of. Mr Paley, in his excellent treatife of Moral and Political PhiloJophy, fuggefts the following confiderations, to allay this paffion. "The poffibility of mistaking the motives, from which the conduct that offends us proceeded; how often our offences have been the effect of inadvertency, when they were miftaken for malice; the inducement, which prompted our adversary to act as he did; that he is perhaps under a contrition, which he is afhamed to confefs; that the returns of kinduefs are fweet, and that there is neither honour, virtue, nor ufe, in refifting them; that others have their paffions their prejudices, their favourite aims, their fudden impulfes, as well as we; that we may recollect what hath fometimes paffed in our on minds, when on the wrong fide of a quarrel, and imagine the fame to be pathing in our adverfary's mind; when we become fenfible of our misbehaviour, what palliations we perceived in it, and expected others to perceive; how we were affected by the kindness of a generous reception and ready forgiveness; how perfecution revived our enmity, and feemed to justify the conduct in ourselves which we before blamed; add to this, the indecency of extravagant auger; how it renders us, while it lafts, the fcorn of all about us; of which it leaves us, when it ceafes, fenfible and afhamed; the inconveniences into which it has fometimes betrayed us; the friendship it has loft to us; the embarraffiments in which we have been involved by it, and the repentance, which, on one account or other, it always cofts us. But the reflection, calculated, above all others, to allay anger, is, that we ourselves are, or fhall be, fuppliants for mercy and pardon, to the judgment feat of God. Imagine our fecret fins all disclosed; imagine us thus humbled, trembling under the hand of God; cafting ourselves on his compaffion; crying out for mercy-imagine fuch a creature to talk of revenge, refufing to be intreated, difdaining to forgive, extreme to refent what is done amifs; and You can hardly fein to yourself, an inftance of aore impious, and unnatural arrogance."

(4.) ANGER, VIOLENT, SURPRISING EFFECTS Or. Phyficians and naturalifts afford inftances of ery extraordinary effects of this paflion. BorriCaius cured a woman of an inveterate tertian a„gu?, which had baffled the art of phyfic, by putng the patient in a furious fit of anger. Valerio made ute of the fame means, with the like cccs, in a quartan agu”. The fame paflion has keen equally falutary to paralytic, gouty, and

even dumb perfons; to which last it I as sometimes given the ufe of fpeech. Etmuller gives divers inftances of very fingular cures wrought by anger; among others, he mentions a perfon laid up in the gout, who, being provoked by his phyfician, flew upon him, and was cured." It is tru the remedy is fomewhat dangerous in the appli cation, when a patient does not know how to ufe it with moderation. We meet with feveral inftances of princes, to whom it has proved mortal; e. g. Valentinian I. Wencellaus, Marthias Corvinus king of Hungary, and others. There are alfo inftances, wherein it has produced the epilepfy, jaundice, cholera morbus, diarrhoea, &c. In fact, this palicon is of fuch a nature, that it quickly throws the whole nervous fyitem into preternatural commotions, by a violent ftricture of the nervous and mufcular parts; and furprifingly augments, not only the fyflole of the heart, and of its contiguous veels, but alfo the tone of the fibrous parts in the whole body. It is allo certain, that this paffion, by the fpafmodic ftricture it produces in the parts, exerts its power principally on the flomach and inteftines, which are highly nervous and membranous parts; whence the fytaptors are more dangerous, in proportion, to the greater consent of the ftomach and intellines, with the other nervous parts, and almoft with the whole body. The unhappy influence of anger like wife, on the biliary and he patic ducts, is very furprifing; fince, by an intenfe conftriction of thefe, the liver is not ony rendered fchirrous, but tones also are often generated in the gall bladder and biliary ducts; thefe accidents have icarcely any other origin than an obâruction of the free motion and eflux of the bile, by means of this violent_ftricture.— From fuch a ftricture, likewife, proceeds the jaundice, which, in procefs of time, lays a foundation for calculous concretions in the gall bladder. By increating the motion of the fluid, or the fpafms of the fibrous parts, by means of an. ger, a larger quantity of blood is forcibly pro pelled to certain parts; whence it happens, thit they are too much diffended, and the orifices of the veins diftributed there, opened. It is evidet from experience, that anger has a great tendercy to excite enormous hæmorrhagies, either from the nofe, the aperture, of the pulmonary artery, the veins of the anus; or in wonen, from the us turus, especially in thote previously accuflom d to fuch évacvations.
