After the dissertation, which we have briefly conducted\r\nto the best of our ability, regarding the Father, Son, and\r\nHoly Spirit, it follows that we offer a few remarks upon the\r\nsubject of rational natures, and on their species and orders,\r\nor on the offices as well of holy as of malignant powers,\r\nand also on those which occupy an intermediate position between\r\nthese good and evil powers, and as yet are placed in a\r\nstate of struggle and trial. For we find in holy Scripture\r\n<span class=\"pageno\" id=\"Page_45\">45</span>numerous names of certain orders and offices, not only of\r\nholy beings, but also of those of an opposite description,\r\nwhich we shall bring before us, in the first place; and the\r\nmeaning of which we shall endeavour, in the second place,\r\nto the best of our ability, to ascertain. There are certain\r\nholy angels of God whom Paul terms “ministering spirits,\r\nsent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation.”<a id=\"r107\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f107\"><sup>[107]</sup></a>\r\nIn the writings also of St. Paul himself we find him\r\ndesignating them, from some unknown source, as thrones,\r\nand dominions, and principalities, and powers; and after this\r\nenumeration, as if knowing that there were still other rational\r\noffices<a id=\"r108\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f108\"><sup>[108]</sup></a> and orders besides those which he had named, he says\r\nof the Saviour: “Who is above all principality, and power,\r\nand might, and dominion, and every name that is named,\r\nnot only in this world, but also in that which is to come.”<a id=\"r109\"></a><a class=\"c007 pginternal\" href=\"#f109\"><sup>[109]</sup></a>\r\nFrom which he shows that there were certain beings besides\r\nthose which he had mentioned, which may be named indeed\r\nin this world, but were not now enumerated by him, and\r\nperhaps were not known by any other individual; and that\r\nthere were others which may not be named in this world,\r\nbut will be named in the world to come.</p>","headings":["The Writings of Origen, Vol. 1 of 2","ORIGEN DE PRINCIPIIS.","BOOK I.","CHAPTER V.
