II. The Face of a Lion.
A Lion is a Creature of great Strength,1 the strongest amongst Beasts, as was said before; he turneth not away for any. What is ⟨p. 59⟩stronger than a Lion? 2said the Interpreters of Samson's Riddle. | Angels are mighty in Strength.3 An Angel can hinder the blowing of the Wind, stop the Mouths of Lions, break Iron Chains, open Prison Doors, and make Bars and Doors of Brass to fly. ⟨p. 59⟩Hence they are called mighty Angels. 4Who can stand before the Angels of God!
