Q.19. What is God’s providence towards the angels?

A. God by his providence permitted some of the angels, wilfully and irrecoverably, to fall into sin and damnation,[c] limiting and ordering that, and all their sins, to his own glory;[d] and established the rest in holiness and happiness;[e] employing them all,[f] at his pleasure, in the administrations of his power, mercy, and justice.[g]
