Fifthly, For their Glory, what it is; that one place may serve in stead of many, where it is coupled with the glory of the Father and the Sonne. When the pSon of man shall come in the glory of himself and of his Father, and of the holy Angels. In the qsecond of Luke, when the Angel of the Lord stood before the Shepherds, it is forth-with added, that the glory of the Lord shone round about them. Hither it maketh, that the Glory and Majesty which the Lord made to appear in the face of Stephen, for the daunting of his Adversaries, is rresembled to the countenance of an Angel. In the Vision which sIsaiah ⟨p. 80⟩saw, they are brought in with two of their wings covering their feet: Thereby to meet with the infirmity of men, who are not able to abide the brightness of their glory. DANIEL texcellently describeth this, in that great Vision which he saw by the Waters of Chiddekel, Lifting up mine eyes, I saw, and behold, a man clothed with Linen, whose loins were girt with excellent Gold of Uphaz, his Body was like unto Sea-coloured blue (as if he would say, of an heavenly colour) his face to look to, like the Lightening, and his eyes like to Lamps of fire, and his arms and feet like unto the colour of polished Brass, glittering and twinkling like sparkles of fire; the noise also of his words were like unto the noise of a whole multitude: At whose appearance, the men that were with Daniel trembled exceedingly, and flying, hid themselves; he also himself had no strength left within him, but even his beauty and comeliness were turned into corruption. And hither belongeth their wonderful and admirable wisdom, grown into a Proverb: As uthe wisdom of an Angel.
