4. And then go away and praise God, and be very thankful; Be very thankful to God the Father, and to the Lamb with whose blood you are sprinkled. Look into the 5th Rev. and you shall find, there are 3 quires of Praisers, and all praising upon the account of this blood: And when he had opened the book, v. 9. the 24. Elders fell down before the Lamb, ⟨p. 410⟩and they sung a new song: The four and twenty Elders (these are men) saying, Thou art worthy to take the Book, and to open the Seals thereof, for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood: By thy blood, here's the foot of the Song.

Then comes in the Angels, another Quire, praising God, v. 11. And I beheld, and I heard the Voice of many Angels round about the Throne, and the Beasts, and the Elders, and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, saying with a loud voices; Worthy is the Lamb that was slain; see the foot of the song still, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain. Men praise upon this account, Angels praise upon this account also.
