Note; The Sons of God, the holy Angels, are of one mind.

It is a most blessed sight and hearing, when all the Sons of God join in one thing. It was not a part of the Sons of God, it was not here one, and there another, but all of them. Behold (saith David, Psal. 133.1.) how good and how pleasant a thing it is, for brethren to dwell together in unity!

How many are there who cannot join in rejoicing and thanksgiving for works of God (I mean Providential Works) as eminent in their kind, as the Creation Work, or the laying of the foundations of the Earth? That will be a blessed day, when we shall see the full effect of that prophecy (
