Now this is a great comfort to the Church and People of God, when the Powers and Principalities on earth are employed against them, to consider, what Powers and Principalities attend upon Christ. We serve such a Master, as hath authority over the holy Angels, to employ them at his pleasure, and in their darkest condition his people feel the benefit of it. As the Angel of the Lord appeared to Paul in a dreadful storm, Acts 27. 23, 24. There stood by me this night the angel of the Lord, whose I am, and whom I serve; saying, Fear not Paul, &c. So to Christ in his Agonies, Luk. 22. 43. There appeared an angel to him from heaven strengthening him. So against Satan, the good Angels are ready to comfort us, as the evil Angels are ready to trouble and tempt us. Let us then look to God, at whose direction they are sent to help and comfort us.
