The righteous man's habitation in the time of plague and pestilence being a brief…

The 91. Psalm, vers. 11. & 12. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, &c. Having treated of this Psalm already, I shall not spend much time in showing you the coherence of these words with the former; you see they are brought in with a for: For he shall give his angels charge over thee; as giving an account and reason of that which was said before. In the former part of the Psalm, you read of the Saints protection in, and their deliverance from the Plague and pestilence in the day thereof. At the 10. verse, There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. Why? For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways, &c. So that here still you have the promise of protection in the time of the Plague and pestilence; the means whereby God will protect & deliver. The condition of this promise in these words, keep thee in all thy ways. So that though the danger of the Plague and pestilence be never so great, yet if we be found in our ways, Gods angels under him shall be our protection. He shall give his angels charge over thee, &c. In which words, you may read the special and singular care and providence of God over his people in the time of Plague and pestilence to be managed by the hands of Angels. God will take special order with the angels for the safety of his people in the time of the Plague and pestilence.
