§. 102. Of the resolution of the seventh verse.
Verse 7. And of the Angels he saith, Who maketh his Angels Spirits, and his Ministers a flame of fire.
IN this verse is laid down the second Argument whereby the Apostle proveth Angels1 to be inferior to Christ, and thereupon Christ to be more excellent then Angels; The Argument may be thus framed: They who are made Spirits and Ministers are inferior to him that made him so.

- 1Of the first Argument See §. 76.
But Angels are made Spirits and Ministers by Christ. Therefore Angels are inferior to Christ. That Angels are so made, is in express terms set down: That Christ made them so is implied in this phrase, Who maketh; For it hath reference to the last clause of the second verse. The sum of this verse is, a description of Angels.
