When the Lord had to deal with Men and Angels, which was the first in the Creation? The Angels they were the elder brother to Man, they stood first: but when Men and Angels had fallen, God •e redeems Man, and sets him before, that stood behind; and takes the fallen Angels, and sets them behind, that were first in the Creation; sets them behind, and Man that was behind, he is brought before. So when God would take a people to himself, what people did God take to be his people? A poor, forlorn, despised people, The people of the Jews; and past over all the glorious Nations of the world.
