8. The Angels be our helps; They are ministering spirits, 1sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of Salvation, Heb. 1.14. and the kind of their ministration is excellently set forth by the Psalmist, They shall keep thee in all thy ways, they shall bear thee up in their hands, least thou dash thy foot against a stone, Psal. 91.11, 12. in this place the Angels are compared to Nurses that have a charge over weak Children to keep them and guard them; so the Angels do all the offices of a Nurse, or Mother; they keep us, guard us, instruct us, admonish us, correct us, comfort us, preserve us from evil, and provoke us to good.
