I shall speak no more now as to the first thing proposed, viz. of the Nature of Angels.
Secondly, I shall open a little of the Work and Office of the good Angels.
1. The Work and Office of the Angels of God, is to minister unto Christ, or attend upon his glorious Person, as Mediator; as indeed they did in the days of his Humiliation.1 A Reverend Author saith upon the place, this ascending & descending of the Angels upon this Ladder, it does intimate and declare unto us, their special regard and respect to him, (namely Jesus Christ) which is very eminent in them; these blessed glorious Spirits are very remarkable in their Observation of Christ; it is that which we may take notice of in every Mystery and passage concerning him, how the Angels were still employed about him, and subservient to him upon all occasions whatsoever.
