But so long as we walk in obedience of Gods commandments, and within the compass of our callings, we have this blessed promise from God, that his Angels shall take the care of us, to guard and to defend us.

But so long as we walke in obedience of Gods commaundements, and within the compasse of our callings, we haue this blessed promise from God, that his Angels shall take the care of vs, to guard and to defend vs.
