To stand in this place, signifieth to administer, as ⟨p. 90⟩it is said of the Priests & Levites, that they stand before God,1 and before the Altar, that is, Minister. So here the Angels do stand before God, as ready to administer and execute these judgements. For they are ministering spirits, and here they do sound the alarm at the commandment of God.
