'the ground, as alfo to earth up the plants when they are 
full grown. When the plants come up, which.will be in 
about three weeks or a month after lowing, you mult with 
a finall hoe cut up all the weeds between them, and, where 
the'plants are too dole; they (liould be thinned to about 
three inches diftance ; and as they advance, and the weeds 
lpring again, they Ihould, from time to time, be hoed; 
and, at the laft time of thinning them, they Ihould be leit 
feven'or eight inches afunder at lead. If your kind be 
good, the Items of the plants will increafe to a confidera- 
ble bulk jult above the furface of the ground ; which 
part Ihould be earthed up in the manner of celery, to 
blanch, about a fortnight or three weeks before it is ufed, 
and this will caufe it to be very tender and crifp. Your 
fecond crop Ihould be fown about three weeks after the firft, 
and fo continue fowing every three weeks or a month till 
the end of July, after which time it will be too late for the 
plants to come to any perfection. But you Ihould obferve 
to low in April, May, and June, on a moilter foil than that 
which you lowed the firft on; as alfo v hat you fovv in the 
latter part of July, ihould be fown on a drier foil, and 
in a warmer fituation ; becaufe this crop will not be fit for 
life till late in autumn, and therefore will be fubject to 
injuries from too much wet or cold weather, if on a moilt 
foil. But as the ground is often extremely dry in June and 
July, and the feeds more apt to mifcarry and not come 
up, you Ihould therefore obferve to water and lhade the 
beds where this feed is fown at that feafon, until the plants 
come up. And, if the feafon Ihould prove dry, the plants 
mull be duly watered, otherwife they will run up to feed 
before they” are of any iize; therefore there Ihould be a 
channel made where every row of plants grows, to detain 
the water which is poured on them. In the autumn, if 
there Ihould happen lharp frofts, it will be very proper to 
cover the plants with fome peafe-haulm, or other light co¬ 
vering, to prevent their being pinched; by which method 
they may be continued for ufe till the middle of winter. 
A linaU bed of this plant will be fufficient at each fowing 
for a middling family; and, fora large family, a bed of 
about twenty feet long, and four feet broad, will be full 
enough at a time.

ANGA'ZYA, one of the Comorra iflands, lying be¬ 
tween the north end of Madagafcar and tile coaft of Zan- 
guebar in Africa, from lat. io° to 15 0 S. It is inhabited 
by Moors, who trade with divers-parts of the continent, 
in cattle, fruits, and other commodities of the ill and, which 
they exchange for calicoes and other cotton cloths. The 
houfes here are built of (tone, and lime 'made of calcined 
oyfter-fliells ; with which th.e walls and roof are'plaftered 
in a very elegant manner. The government of Angazya 
is pure ariflocracy ; the ifland being fubject to ten lords, 
who have all the title of fidtan. The people are very 
careful of their women; never permitting lira tigers to fee 
them, without permifiion from a fultan, or an order which 
the ftranger.brings with him. Many of them head and 
write Arabic with great facility'; and Joine even under-' 
fland PortUguefe, which they learn from their intercourfe 
with Mofambique, whither they trade in velfels of forty- 
tons burthen.

A'NGEI,,yi a fpiritual intelligent fubftance, .the firfl in 
rank and dignity among created beings. The word angel 
is Greek (a-yfzXufj, and lignifies a meflenger; the.Hebretv 
"inSd lignifies the fame thing. The angels are in Daniel, 
chap. iv. ver. 13, &c. called Q'\r» or watchers, from their 
vigilance : for the fame reafon they are, in the remains we 
have of the prophecy attributed to Enoch, named egre- 
gori ; which word imports tiie fame in Greek. 
Angels, therefore, in tiie proper fignification of the 
word, do not import the nature of any being, but only the 
office, to which they are appointed, efpecially by way of 
melfage, or intercourfe between God and his. creatures; 
in which fenfe they arc called the miniflers of God, who do 
his pleafure, and minijlririgfpirits fent forth to minifterfor 
them who fliall be heirs of falvation. That there are 
Inch beings as we call angels, that is, certain permanent 
fubflanc.es, inviflble, and imperceptible to our fenfes, en¬ 
dued with underftanding and power fuperior to that of hu¬ 
man nature, created by God, and fubject to him as a fu- 
preme Being; miniltring to his divine providence in the 
government of the world by his appointment, and more 
especially attending the affairs of mankind; is a truth fo 
fully attefted by Scripture, that it cannot .be doubted. 
Nay, the exiftence of inch inviflble beings was generally 
acknow ledged by the ancient heathens, though under dif¬ 
ferent appellations: the Greeks called them daemons-, and 
the Romans genii, or lares. Epicurus feerns to have been 
the only one among the old philofophers who absolutely
