And suddenly there was with the Angel a multitude, &c.
You see here,1 how ever Christ lay in the Cratch, in the Manger; yet notwithstanding there were some circumstances that showed the greatness of his person, that he was no ordinary person; he lay in the Cratch indeed, but the wise men came and adored him, and he appeared to the shepherds, poor men, yet notwithstanding, ⟨p. 204⟩here is an Host of Angels that praise him; so likewise at his death, he converted the good Thief, and shadowed the Sun it self, and then he gloriously rose again; so that there were some beams of his divine nature that brake forth in all his abasements, we see here an apparition of Angels. In the words consider these things.
