1And John in his vision heard the angels about the throne, crying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb, &c. to receive power, riches, and strength, wisdom, and honour, and glory, and praise. 2And indeed the highest end of the ministry of Angels is the manifestation of the glory of God. The second, is to stand in Gods presence, evermore ready to do his commandments, as David saith, Praise the Lord, ye his Angels that excel in strength that do his commandments in obeying the voice of his word. And here is a good lesson for us.3 We pray daily, that we may do the will of God as the Angels in heaven do it: let us therefore be followers of the holy Angels in praising God and in doing his commandments as they do.
