Verse 7. And of the Angels he saith, Who maketh his Angels spirits, and his Ministers a flame of fire.
TO amplify the former Argument (whereby the Apostle proved the excellency of Christ above Angels) taken from the inferiority of Angels, manifested by their worshipping him; he addeth another evidence of their inferiority, manifested by their manner of serving him. And to show that there is as good ground and reason for this, as for the former; and that Angels are as much bound to this, as to that; he premiseth, in this verse the like preface, as in the former: thus, And of the Angels he saith: even HE that said, Let all the Angels worship him, saith also, He maketh them spirits.
