*The second Argument to prove Christs excellency above Angels, is in this verse. It is taken from that worship which is due to Christ: and it is so set down, as with all the inferiority of Angels to Christ is proved thereby.

- *§. 64.
Two Arguments proving two distinct points, are here couched▪together.
The first is to prove Christs superiority. It may be thus framed: He, who is to be worshipped, is greater then they who are to worship him. But Christ is to be worshipped by Angels. Therefore Christ is greater then Angels. The second is to prove Angels inferiority. It may be thus framed: They who are to worship, are inferior to him that is to worshipped by them. But Angels are to worship Christ. Therefore Angels are inferior to Christ.
