1The Angels they attended on Christ in all the passages of his life & death, till they brought him to heaven. They brought news of his birth, comforted him in his agony, they were at his resurrection, and you see here they attend. At his ascension they accompany him. And as they did to the head, so they will to the Members. In our Infancy they take charge of our tender years, in our dangers they pitch their tents about us; in our deaths, they carry our souls to Abraham's bosom, a place of happiness. At ⟨p. 4⟩our Resurrection their Office is to gather our bodies together. That service and attendance they afforded the head, they afford to the Members, to mystical Christ, as well as natural. Therefore let us comfort our selves in the service they did to Christ.
