2. Good Angels bear us company, to death in our guarding, after death in our carrying up to heaven. Angelis mandavit; oHe hath given his Angels charge over us: There are malicious devils against us, but there are powerful Angels with us. That great Majesty whom we all adore, hath given them this commission. pAre they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them, who shall be heirs of salvation? An Angel counsels Hagar 3to return to her Mistress; an Angel accompanies Jacob in his journey; an Angel feeds Elijah; an Angel 4plucks Lot out of Sodom. Gaudent Angeli te conuersum 5illorum sociari consortijs. The Angels rejoice at our conversion, that so their number might have a completion.
