1I answer: First of all, Gods Angels preserve those that are his, from many inconveniences that they know not of: And certainly, we have Devils about us continually▪ 2and there is a conflict betwixt good Angels and Devils, about us continually. And when we do fall into any inconvenience, it is because we are not in our way: if we go out of our way, they have not the charge over us; they are to keep us in our ways. And if they keep us not from dashing our foot against a stone, if they keep us not from ill; yet they keep us in ill, and deliver us out of ill at length: for, ⟨p. 105⟩they deliver us not only from evil, that we fall not into it; but they keep us in ill, and deliver us out of ill; nay, and by ill: if we suffer in the custody of Angels any inconvenience; it is, that we may be tried by it, that we may be exercised and bettered by it: There is nothing that falls out to Gods children in the world, but they gain by it, whatsoever it is. This therefore doth not prejudice the attendance of Angels.
