Of Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

2. He is on this account honoured of all the Angels in Heaven, §. 45 even because of this great work of bringing sinners unto God: for they do not only bow down & desire to look into the mystery of the cross, 1 Pet. 1. 12. but worship and praise him always on this account, Revel. 5. 11, 12, 13, 14. I heard the voice of many Angels round about the throne, and living creatures, and the Elders, and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voice, worthy is the Lamb that was slain, to receive power, and riches and wisdom, and strength, and Honour, and Glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in Heaven and Earth, and under the Earth, and such as are in the Sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, blessing, honour, glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth on the Throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. And the living creatures said Amen, and the fore and twenty Elders fell down and worshipped him, that liveth for ever and ever. The Reason given of this glorious and wonderful Doxology, this Attribution of Honour and Glory, to Jesus Christ, by the whole Host of Heaven, is because he was the Lamb that was slain: that is, because of the work of our Redemption, and our bringing unto God. And it is not a little refreshment and rejoicing to the souls of the Saints, to know, that all the Angels of God, the whole Host of Heaven, which never sinned, do yet continually rejoice, and ascribe prays and honour to the Lord Jesus, for his bringing them to peace and favour with God.

I heard the voyce of many Angells round about the throne, and living creatures, and the Elders, and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voyce, worthy is the Lambe that was slaine, to receive power, and riches and wisedome, and strength, and Honour, and Glory, and blessing. And every creature which is in Heaven and Earth, and under the Earth, and such as are in the Sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, blessing, honour, glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth on the Throne, and unto the Lambe for ever and ever. And the living creatures said Amen, and the fore and twenty Elders fell down and worshiped him, that liveth for ever and ever. The Reason given of this glorious and wonderfull Doxologie, this Attribution of Honour and Glory, to Jesus Christ, by the whole Host of Heaven, is because he was the Lambe that was slaine: that is, because of the worke of our Redemption, and our bringing unto God. And it is not a little refreshment and rejoycing to the souls of the Saints, to know, that all the Angells of God, the whole Host of Heaven, which never sinned, doe yet continually rejoyce, and ascribe prays and honour to the Lord Jesus, for his bringing them to peace and favour with God.
