1. To put Honour on the Redeemer, who is the Head and Lord of the Angels, ⟨p. 188⟩Eph. 1. 20, 21. He hath set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principalities and powers, &c. and gave him to be the head over all things to the church. So 1 Pet. 3. 22. Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God, angels and authorities, and powers being made subject to him. Christ not only as God, but as Mediator hath all of them subject to him, Heb. 1. 6. and unto the son he saith, Let all the angels of God worship him. They as subjects and servants are bound to obey him. Therefore on all occasions they attend on Christ; at his Birth, Luk. 2. 13, 14. A multitude of the heavenly host praised God, saying, Glory be to God on high, on earth peace, good will towards men. Now in his Temptations, the Angels came and ministered unto him. At his Passion, Luk. 22. 43. There appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him: At his Resurrection, an angel rolled away the stone from the grave, and attested the truth of it, Matth. 28. 2. At his Ascension, the Angels declared the manner of his going to Heaven, and return to Judgment: Acts 1. 10, 11. So now they come to attend Christ, as Subjects on their Prince, to tender their service and homage to him, and receive his Commands.
