First; From hence we may infer, that Angels are fit for public and great Service. They have four Faces, a Man's, a Lion's, an Ox's, and an Eagle's; which show they have all that is requisite to great Undertakings. They have Wisdom to consult, to contrive and manage the Affairs of the World prudentially; they have the Strength of a Lion, to execute; they have the Willingness and Faithfulness of the Ox, to ⟨p. 61⟩rejoice the Heart of the Commander, and Patience to undergo the Difficulties of their Work, and Usefulness of the Public; they are quick-sighted, to discern and prevent the Designs of Enemies, and speedily to dispatch much in a little time, and that with cheerfulness. This is meant by their four Faces; which notes their Perfection, and Fitness for Service in all Parts of the World; in regard of which they are said to have one Face before, and another behind, and one on each side. God sets forth their Serviceableness by these Creatures, both rational and irrational; they have the Shapes of Men, Birds, and Beasts.
